Great stay and communication with Host. Property has everything you need. Very quiet and secluded location. Perfect for two couples. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One in the master and you can close off the other to made that private too or leave the door open, Very well stocked with everything you need. Pool was surprisingly warm for May. Perfect temp. Dolphins swimming in the bay was a treat one afternoon. We had a great time!!

Thanks for staying at Mockingbird Pointe. The dolphins have been more frequent visitors this year than usual. Early mornings are often best, but they can appear at any time. They follow schools of mullet up Sisters Creek and up the channel to our tropical lagoon. Always a treat to see them!

This was our 5th stay at Mockingbird Pointe. Once again everything was amazing. The property is so beautiful & relaxing. There’s some new updates since last year. There is a new quiet & cozy office space and some updates on the dock with new LED dock lights. Phil & Linda are wonderful hosts who take great care of their home and guests. We have already booked for our 6th year. Thank you Phil & Linda for sharing your beautiful home!John H.

We love Mockingbird Point, on this property you have that resort feeling of high end amenities and the solitude needed to get away and relax. I have an enjoyable and busy career, the owners have a nice quiet office space to use when necessary. Although the tiki hut by the pool is often one of my favorite work places. If you have a busy career or a busy family life, this is the perfect place to unwind and relax. The location is great to all the day and nightlife attractions in Marathon. The island life experience on this property is excellent, it’s hard coming home after a week on Mockingbird Point. A few stays at this property over the last five years has us convinced that we need to find our own property in Marathon and create an island getaway that will be ours. Until then we will be returning to Mockingbird Point for all of our future Marathon trips. The owners are excellent, they communicate early and just often enough to make you feel welcomed in their home. They are always readily available if you should have any questions or if anything were to arise during your stay. They are very gracious hosts, they want to to love Marathon as much as they do.

This place is amazing!!! We instantly felt at home! The host provides everything you could ever need to have a perfect vacation- bicycles, kayaks, fishing poles, a private dock with a fish light that attracts fish, a pool with toys- we could not have asked for a better time! They even have a manatee that makes daily visits. We will definately stay again!

Great vacation location with handy travel and check-in information provided prior to arrival. The house was wonderful with clean and well-maintained grounds and pool. Views were spectacular and the covered tiki was a welcoming outdoor element. We will return to Mockingbird Pointe again in the future.

We had a storm cell come through the area a hour prior to your arrival and after our weekly 10am pool service had been completed. The storm did leave some foliage debris from our large shade tree and landscaping for which we provide a charged blower and pool skimmer use after these unpredictable tropical weather events.

Absolutely the best home we've ever had the opportunity to spend our two week vacation in Marathon! Philip and Linda were amazing hosts. Communications were excellent from the moment we arrived. Philip called to confirm everything was in order at their home, which it was.The homes amenities were outstanding! From the bikes, kayaks, fishing equipment, full kitchen, and wonderful pool, everything was provided. We've already made plans to return next year! Thank you again, Philip and Linda, for sharing your amazing home with us!Regards, Peter and Michelle Hill

Amazing property. Feels so private and secluded. Very nice full size pool that actually feels refreshing in the summer heat. Great dock access makes docking your boat very easy. Kids caught more than 40 fish from the dock, but the many tarpon hanging around were too elusive unfortunately. Owners are great. Kids want to come back next year!

Our stay was amazing! The house is wonderful! It is situated among large trees and lush landscaping making it feel private and secluded, but is also close to stores and restaurants. The wrap around porch and pool area were very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. Philip and Linda are great host!

Let me preface this review by saying I'm a "Freshwater Conch" who went to Key West High School and have returned to the Keys over and over for high school reunions and just to vacation.This is a Beautiful property in the heart of Marathon, which I think is one of the best Keys mainly because it's not overrun with tourists. Only an hour from Key West, this perfect waterfront home is comfortable and nicely appointed like an island house should be. The landscaping is beautiful and hanging at the pool is relaxing, with the waterfront just feet away.We used the bikes and the kayaks and even fished a little bit off the gorgeous dock. Mockingbird Pointe has everything you need to enjoy your waterfront stay.To sum it up, we plan on moving to the keys one day and we thought this house would be perfect type of house to live in and enjoy the Keys life during our retirement!I highly recommend this VRBO and owners Phil and Linda who made our stay so perfect. Great proactive communication and attention to detail!
