Good vacation spot

Our family enjoyed staying there. My 11 year old loved the fishing and pool table. Loved the fenced in yard for the dogs. It does seem like an older house but with that in mind we were comfortable there. We would stay here again.

Christmas/New Year Family trip

The house and property were perfect for my family’s needs. Everything we needed was provided. The evening temps were cool so the hot tub was great! We had our dinghy with us and had easy access to the water. We plan to book again and bring our trawler!

Great Keys home

The stay on 63rd street was wonderful. The fenced in yard was a super plus. The home was well equipped and super clean. The private dock was a great for fishing with a great fish cleaning station and we saw Manatees swim right up to it. The home is centrally located making it easy to visit all the keys. Five stars for sure!!❤️

Perfect for the fishermen

Amazing property with plenty of parking space and the dock was awesome for our 2 boats. The deep canal going up to the dock was great also. No worries about hitting bottom. The property owner was extremely pleasant to talk to. Will definitely be staying here again in the future. Absolutely would recomend to anyone going down for fishing or lobster

Great home, great yard, great dock, great location.

We spent two weeks at this home and have nothing to complain about. Excellent home, very clean, great air conditioning. Everything was perfect. Excellent location for boating. A huge protected dock and out into open water in only two minutes. Huge yard to hold two trailers, 5 vehicles and allow two dogs to run. Will return next year.

Nice spot central to the Keys

Stayed with a few friends to do some fishing. Brought our own boat. The boat dock is useful, and has a nice spot to clean fish. The freezer on the dock was convenient, as was the fresh water hose with sprayer to clean things up. The property itself is a big lot, so it's roomy, you can park your truck, trailer etc no issues. The house is older and basic, but fit our needs.

Quintessential Keys

We adored our stay at this home. I’ve been visiting the Keys for 30+ years and this house was absolutely perfect for our family’s vacation this year. It is an adorable home with a traditional Florida Keys vibe. If you know, you know. Will hopefully return sooner rather than later. An absolute gem. 😍

Awesome Place!

Nice roomy house with plenty of things to do, and close to everything you need. Manatees by the dozen, (literally!), a lot of iguanas and good area to kayak in. We LOVED watching the planes, jets and choppers flying into the airport down the road, and at night the air traffic slows down so it doesn't keep you awake. Exceptional communications with the property manager who is friendly and helpful. No complaints here. :)

Perfect fishing experience!

Perfect fishing experience whether off the dock or docking your boats! Deep water Dock space provided for several boats and a floating dock for kayak launch. Fish off dock included snapper, shark and even a grouper! Mangrove island across canal homed snook and redfish in rooted shade. Location was great for Florida Bay and Atlantic waters. Home location in very convenient to shopping and Very peaceful large lot had plenty of space for truck and trailers. Excellent view of sunrise for early risers. We will definitely return!

The yard and waterfront were excellent

Plenty of room inside for 6 adults and pets. The kitchen was more than sufficient for us to make all of our meals. We caught 10 different species of fish right off of the dock. Excellent location for paddleboarding. We enjoyed the mangrove protected lagoon on windy days, and so did 5 different manatees! If you are a fan of planes, as we are, there are plentiful varieties during the day. It felt a little like an EAA fly in. The home is very quiet and we never heard the planes in the morning or evening if inside the home. All in all, we definitely would stay here again.

Great Marathon Vacation house with Easily accessable boat dock.

Great place to stay. Easy to find. plenty of room to park your boat trailer. Easy access to the yard to bring the boat trailer in. Every thing you need. Even has a coffee grinder. so We had fresh ground coffee each morning. Easy access from the gulf side to bring your boat into the included dock. only issues were the dryer did not work but they showed up to check on it the next day. Needed to order parts . Something knocked over and dumped our trash 3 nights in a row. So I had to clean up the garbage each morning. All in all a great place to stay. definelty would stay there again.

A little upset!!

Freezer was iced over, had to bust it all out before we could use it, had a lot of other visitor's leftovers in it. Outside grill was so nasty no one wanted to use it, plus two empty gas containers. Tub and shower floors in the bathrooms were way to slippery, one of my older friend's fell while showering, lucky he did not hurt his self to bad, just bruises. Entry gates were hard to open / close, could use a little TLC. Floor at the fish cleaning area is also very slick. Loved the outside shower and the larger yard area. We have been coming to the Keys in the Marathon area for 30 plus years and I'm sorry to say this visit was not one of our best.

Satisfactory house with great waterfront access

House - an older house but a good amount of space and good amount of beds. It can feel dated, although updates have been made through some of the house. Kitchen could use some better pans. Overall it was sufficient for our family. Property- on a nice quiet street with a good restaurant at the end. a very big yard with amazing waterfront and palm trees, with many iguana.We enjoyed fishing from the dock and caught at least 5 different types of fish, including mangrove snapper and barracuda. A deep freezer located right by the water was really convenient to keep bait. We loved spending mornings watching the sun rise and saw a manatee on the last day and possibly an alligator. It's a great area around which to kayak. The kids played pool a few times on the pool table. The hot tub could use work as it seems the circulating pump was either clogged or not working, but soaking was nice. Amenities - there are some big pluses in some amenities that come with the house, but take them with a grain of salt. There are 7 bikes there, but maybe 2-3 of them are serviceable. There are about 4 kayaks, including a "Jon boat" that our family of 5 got in, but also one of them had a hole in the bottom (the one with the clear bottom). There are some fishing poles but most were broken; I made one good one out of pieces of others. I'm glad these things were here; I just want to set expectations.Location - great location on Marathon. I could easily bike to 7 mile bridge. Very close to Publix.
