Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such an amazing stay and were able to relax and really enjoy everything the home has to offer. It’s great that you made the most of the outdoor space and kayaks—and how special to hear you got to experience so much sea life in the canal! That truly sounds like a perfect day in the Keys. We’d be absolutely delighted to host you again anytime! 🌴

Our family of eight had a great vacation in Marathon. This property was clean and big enough for all of us with everything necessary for meal preparation and to relax after our daily activities. Communication with the host was excellent and any minor issues that came up during our stay were addressed immediately. This house is located in a quiet neighborhood, but it is close to many good restaurants, Turtle Hospital, Aquarium Encounters, Dolphin Research Center, Scuba Diving Centers. It is in a short drive from Bahia Honda Beach, Veterans Memorial Beach and it is only 50 miles from the Key West. We love Marathon and it is our home away from home. We had a wonderful time.

The pool had some issues, but other than that it was a great place to stay. House was very clean, and in a quiet neighborhood. The outdoor furniture is old and worn, but still comfortable.

Nice kitchen but otherwise the property is pretty beaten up

The inside of the property is in much better shape than the outside areas. The deck canal side is literally rotting underfoot. The covered area is enjoyable but again not in great shape. The yard is covered in weeds and there was dog poop probably from a previous renter. It could be fixed up a bit and be a really great place.

Thank you for your feedback Jo-Ann! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the inside of the property. We appreciate you bringing the outdoor areas to our attention, and it is unfortunate that some aspects didn’t meet your expectations. Maintaining a welcoming and well-kept space is very important to us, and we’ll be addressing the deck and yard conditions to improve the experience for future guests. We do wish you had reached out to us during your stay so we could have promptly addressed any concerns, as we have a grievance policy in place to resolve issues in real-time. Our team is always available to assist, and we take guest satisfaction seriously. Again, we truly appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Spacious house

The house was very spacious and loved the kitchen. The master bath doesn’t have a door so it was hard to utilize with other family members. The outside area was not maintained. Very small spa, furniture by water was dry rotted and some of the stones on patio were unstable.

No refund during hurricane storm

The check in time of 5 o’clock is too late in the day. Hurricane was moving in and the winds and rain would not allow us to use the tiki or take out a boat, which was the attraction of the property, on the canal. The pouring rain was pouring in through the roof and into the enclosed patio, so we could not enjoy the property, Or get outside at all. Basically stuck in the house we left after 48 hours. No refund was issued for the days that the schools were closed down and the trash collection was canceled, etc. even though it was not a mandatory evacuation, we only stayed a few days and expected some type of reimbursement or a voucher for future rental and they did not give us one

Thank you for your feedback. We truly understand how disappointing it must have been to have your trip affected by the storm. Being on an island, weather can be unpredictable, especially during hurricane season. For this reason, we always recommend and offer travel insurance to help protect against unforeseen circumstances, but unfortunately, we see that it was not included in your reservation. While we regret that the weather impacted your stay, our policy only allows refunds in the case of a mandatory evacuation. We truly wish you had been able to fully enjoy the property as intended, as we hope for all of our guests, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back under better conditions in the future. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
