The home was perfect for the two of us, and even if we had brought the kids- it still would have been comfortable. The pool was so nice and the perfect size to laze the day away. Fishing off the dock was great. Watching the boats in the distance, sitting next to the canal with a cocktail or at the hightop with our morning coffee- every moment was pure relaxation. The home was decorated very well; no frills, just the right amount of amenities. I truly could have moved right in and stayed for good. We will certainly rent again. Only one suggestion: A better form of lighting for the dock. More ambient/cozy than what was available. It was much too bright to use. Thank you again for a great stay!

The description of the property was wrong. it was described as having one room with 2 twins which is what i needed for my kids. instead it had one room with a queen, one room with a King a folding bed and one room with a full with a trundle bed. A boat with a grey cover was lifted out of the canal in front of the house, which is all you would see from the pool and living room (kind of sad view). Absolutely no supplies in the kitchen aside from salt and pepper. Only 3 rolls of TP for 5 person for a week. Remote control was so sticky it was unusable. Shower was really hard to set up the temperature. nearly impossible. One shower didn’t have soap but had 2 shampoo bottles..

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this vacation home—it exceeded all of our expectations! The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect, offering both peace and convenience. From the comfortable beds to the well-stocked kitchen and relaxing outdoor space, every detail was thoughtfully considered. We truly felt at home and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

This home was perfect for our family. Beautiful view to the ocean, 2 manatees right off the dock, close to restaurants & stores. Heated pool was a must for my kids and they loved it. Would love to rent this house again in the keys.

Great place

We had a great time. Pool was a little green but overall, we had a wonderful time. Easy access to the Atlantic and Gulf for boaters. As the add says it's tight getting boat trailer in but is doable for the experienced backer.

Loved the canal right out back. We were able to rent a boat for a few days and easy access to both gulf and Atlantic sides. We saw manatees a few times and parrot fish right at the stairs. Also being able to bring our dog was a huge plus.

Great location for boating

Nice home on the canal. Great for taking the boat out to fish every day. Comfortable beds and it was nice having a washer and dryer available. Home does need more pots,pans and cookie sheets for cooking at the house.

Perfect fit! We docked the boat right outside and had easy access to the Ocean & Gulf. The pool, while small, was great for cooling off and soaking up the sun. We had plenty of room inside & outside for whatever the day had in store!

Dream week in Keys

It was a wonderful house.Everything was just as pictured on the website.The dock was very convenient for keeping the boat at the house. We loved how close the house was to the Vaca Cut, making for easy access to the ocean or gulf.Great week.

Relaxing but Exciting

Pirata is a very calm and peaceful environment. Within a few minutes you can do any activity desired. We kayaked off Sombrero Beach, bicycled, went fishing and enjoyed Crane Hammock Nature Preserve. Several times right at the house we had a very friendly manatee visitor.

Perfect getaway house

We loved this house so much, everything is new and the pool is great size for kids and the dick has great space for two boats, the rooms all have fans and the Ac cooled great. Bathrooms had towels and beach towels, and the washer and dryer are in great condition, we didn’t know which days were trash days which I would have liked to know since we missed one.

awesome stay in marathon for fishing

excellent location and great place for those traveling into town for fishing. we had a 24 foot center console boat that easily fit at the dock and was a quick exit into the atlantic. kitchen was outstanding and was great to have an outside filet table!! bathrooms were tricky as we had 2 couples and 1 with kids. one of the bathrooms is in the room with the bunkbeds. our friends just shared this bathroom with their kids and we had the other bathroom with the washer/dryer. bathrooms were great- excellent water pressure! would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home and perfect location

We spent a week at this home during spring break with our college-aged children. We rented a boat from a nearby marina and had no problem docking it right by the house. We did choose the option to heat the pool being that it’s March in Florida and not always warm water temps.. It made it the perfect temperature! We usually finished our day sitting in the pool watching the boats go by. One day a manatee stopped by and we gave it freshwater from the hose. Definitely a highlight of the trip.

La Pirata

The canal is great! Quick access to the ocean. Quiet neighbors and peaceful relaxation. The set up of the house is great! Nice appliances as well. The house, lacked AC vents in the bedrooms. We ran box fans to keep them cool. The kitchen was cold but no where else. The roof had 2 leaks and 1 of the leaks went straight into a suitcase!!! We only had 2 rolls of TP and 2 rolls of papwertowels which I thought was insufficient for the week. The trash bags were lacking as well.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jun, 2023
Hi, Joshua! We appreciate you staying with us and telling us about your experience. The home does have vents in each room, so we are surprised to read you were having any issues with this. We were also very surprised to hear about a leak and have thoroughly inspected the roof to ensure it is in good condition. Please note we only provide a starting amount of consumable supplies to help our guests get settled upon arrival. Thank you!

Cute house, good location

This house was conveniently located and true to its description. We rented a boat, kept it at the dock, and delighted in all the amenities this property had to offer. The property management team was very responsive & came out right away for a minor repair. The neighbors were friendly and we enjoyed a partial view of the ocean from the front of the house. There are a couple of hurricanes houses being renovated directly across the canal from this house, which we didn’t expect based on price paid to rent here. These were kind of eye sore, but also meant quiet with no one occupying them. My only recommendation is to leave a mop. I swept daily, but would’ve been happy to mop a little to help clean floors cleaner. Overall, we recommend!!
