Sunlit & charming waterfront home with balcony views, dock, & patio - near beach

The Shimmering Swordfish

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This delightful, waterfront home, nestled into the tranquil surroundings of Marathon, boasts lavish amenities and everything you need to feel right at home during your next coastal getaway.

Ideally located for fun and recreation, you’ll find the Florida Keys Aquarium, Key Colony Beach Golf, and Sunset Park all within a three-mile radius. Spend a day interacting with exotic marine life, playing a leisurely round on an oceanfront course, or simply lounging in the sugary sands of the Gulf.

Step inside this little piece of paradise and be greeted by sunlit, open-concept interiors featuring plush seating, balcony access, and charming coastal decor. Enjoy morning coffee on the well-furnished deck in the breathtaking views or snuggle up on the sofa to stream your favorite movies. A well-equipped kitchen hosts modern appliances, plenty of storage, and everything you need to craft delicious home-cooked meals. Gather at the dining table to share tasty treats and lots of laughter, then break out the board games. Even better, utilize the outdoor grill for a summertime barbecue and sip some local brews under the swaying palms. As golden hour approaches, wander down to the dock for a sunset paddle session (kayaks included!) and let the sound of the waves prepare you for another unforgettable day of vacation.

Additional amenities we love in this snowbird-friendly home include central air conditioning, smart TV streaming, and a private washer/dryer for those packing light.

Karen L.

Clean, newly remodeled home on gulf-side
This 2 bedroom, 2 bath duplex (one bath upstairs and one downstairs) looks just like the pictures. It has a beautiful view of the canal and a great balcony to enjoy it. We saw manatee, sea turtles, and lots of fish. The home has a great walking path right across the street for exercise or walking your dog. The home is near the small Marathon airport but the air traffic did not bother us. We enjoyed LJ’s cafe, Driftwood Pizza, and the Island Fish Co which are all just a few minutes away. Publix and Winn-Dixie grocery are close too. Sombrero Beach and the Turtle Hospital are within 5 minutes. There are 2 single person kayaks for your use too! The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet when we were there in March for Spring Break. If you are looking for a place in Marathon this is a great one!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Incorrect listing
Listing said 2 bathrooms plus laundry but forgot to mention that the bathroom #2 and laundry are outside and downstairs. I would not have booked it I had known that since I am 80 years old and don’t enjoy running up and down the steps
