Write to me with any questions, under the MESSAGE OWNER SECTION and I will be happy to chat with you. This single family home on large lot and cul-de-sac street has been totally renovated with new everything in 2010. Tiled floors throughout, large granite counter top, stainless steal appliances, decorative lighting, modern bathrooms, and a large wrap around balcony with comfortable patio furniture surrounded by romantic white curtains giving you a true resort feel. The home is open, bright, and warm. New leather sectional sofa with 3 recliner (2018). Better then my own home! You can watch all the movies on a high definition 65 inch flat screen T.V. with surround sound. Kitchen area has a desk area where you can connect your computer to High Speed wireless internet (Fee Wifi) for those days where you just got to get some work done. The master bedroom has a king size bed (firm memory foam mattress), flat screen TV, and small private bathroom. The second bedroom sleeps 4 with one queen, top twin XL bunk on top, and twin XL trundle at bottom. Master has streaming T.V. . The home is on a deep canal ocean side (no issue for large boats), 75 foot private concrete dock with electricity and water. Rental includes dockage for ONE large boat. Boat lift on property is not available for renters. The home also has a chain link fence giving you peace of mind that outdoor toys are secure as well as security camera on boat slip area and front parking/entrance (although not needed, its very safe here). Note, no other security cameras as your privacy is respected. You can relax on the hammock under the coconut palms trees while the others in your party clean the catch of the day on our large fish cleaning table with it's own knife sharpener. Home is walking distance to everything you can need (deli, liquor store, movie theater, Kmart, Winn Dixie, Publix, Walgreens, Home Depot, and Park! Perfect for teens that can't drive but like their independence walking or riding bike (bike not included in rental) by themselves to the park, movies, or shops. Family reunion? Inquire about nearby homes which are also available for rental.
Although Marathon is located about midway on the keys chain, it has just about anything you would need during your stay, including marathon airport (charter flights from Miami) and hospital in case you need medical attention during your stay. Key west is just 45 minutes away. One of the best surprises when i bought this home was Sombrero Beach. This beach is only 5 minutes away by car and maybe 15 minute bike ride. Sombrero beach has white sand, coconut palms, private clean bathrooms, two volleyball courts, children play area with grass, barbecue grills and picnic tables, and the beautiful view of the ocean. A must visit. My teen (adult now) use to love marathon community park. Teens will love to try out the cable wake boarding park (no boat needed) and also the new Surf Style Flow Rider (just like in the cruise ships)! If you want to take a dip in a pool just go to sunset grill and raw bar where they have one of the largest heated poosl in the keys overlooking the ocean at the seven-mile bridge (free if you eat there). Watch the sunset from here while at the bar listening to margaritaville. Enjoy some of the best fishing and diving available in the world. Sombrero reef is 4.5 miles away from our dock. It offers a spectacular reef and is just minutes away by boat ride. The seven-mile bridge is probably the premiere location for the greatest game fish in Florida waters, the tarpon. The best part is that you will get top quality at a rate that can’t be beaten.

About the host
Hosted by Mariella Fernandez
Hello Prospective Guests, I myself am a frequent user of VRBO/Home Away. Have used it many times during our annual ski vacation trips and many more. VRBO never failed me so now it is my turn to rent to people just like me. I take pride knowing I go the extra mile in keeping every single renter happy. If there are any un-expected issues, I put the renter first that is just the way I would want to be treated. Hope you love my place as much as I do!
Why they chose this property
The Florida Keys is truly a place to enjoy the great outdoors. It all starts with the drive from Miami (~2 hrs) . Do it at day light. When you start getting closer to Marathon, the ocean water starts turning clear turquoise and you know you have reached the Florida Keys. Marathon has the best of both worlds, the convenience of facilities that we are use to having (stores, fast food, hospital, etc) while keeping with the laid back feel of the Florida Keys. Why this property: Well because I love it and it shows. I take great joy in knowing that my guest leave happy, filled with great memories. I have great guest too. Over 90 reviews and all 5 Starts!
What makes this property unique
My Place is modern and at the same time comfortable and has that keys feel. It has an open atmosphere with two large sliding glass doors overlooking the large furnished balcony. The balcony overlooks the canal and coconut palm trees. The white curtains in the balcony give you a resort feel. The two staircases offer convenience to the front of the home as well as the back and the best thing is that this is a house on a large lot so you have your privacy. The home also has a chain link fence giving you peace of mind that outdoor toys are secure as well as security camera on boat slip and front parking (although not needed, its very safe here).
