Sombrero Beach House: 50' Dock, Pool, BBQ, Bicycles & more!
You'll love this place! With great attention to detail, this 3/2 house is conveniently located in a quiet yet centralized area. The famous Sombrero Beach is just a hop-skip and a jump away.
This house is very spacious; sleeps up to 8; and has a large kitchen with all the comforts of home. You'll also appreciate the convenience of a laundry room. This house is completely stocked to make your vacation perfect; including the must-have blender. On a rainy day, you can stay indoors watching cable TV on flat screen TVs with DVD players in each room. The house is nicely decorated and more importantly, very clean. The master bedroom has a King-size pillow-top bed to dream for. The 2nd room has a queen bed fit for a queen; and the 3rd room has a full-size bed with trundle. All new plush linens are included. The yard is large enough for trucks, cars or other toys with plenty of room left over to just lounge around the above-ground pool, in the patio or on the hammock. The BBQ is ready and standing by for your freshest catch; a couple of burgers; or your favorite meal. There's a large dock with everything for the serious fisherman, including a fish cleaning table. There's no need to worry about the added cost and inconvenience of renting bicycles. Here, you'll enjoy free use of our bicycles to roam the island during your stay. You'll love our bicycle built for two! There are lots of places to visit at your leisure without the need of a car. Indoor games such as Wii, checkers, backgammon and poker cards also provided. wi-fi included.
Boat Lovers-- this is it! If you have a boat and love fishing, you'll love the docking facilities at this house. The dock is 50 ft. long on a deep canal and well lit for the night owl who loves to hang out by the boat while still within socializing distance. So boaters wont miss happy hour activities with the rest of the crowd. The dock is also equipped with bumpers to protect your boat; and water hoses for easy cleaning and preparation. It's truly a great place to hang out with lots of space for everyone.
You name it - this house offers many details designed for comfort and practicality. You can't beat the convenience of several nearby boat ramps. Boaters can easily access either oceanside or the gulf by way of 7-mile bridge for back country flats fishing. You'll have it all.
Great surroundings! Everything is a just short distance away. Sombrero Beach has areas for picnics, vollyball, and a playground for the little ones. For shopping, there's Publix, Kmart, Walgreens, as well as many local establishments to make your stay more comfortable, including a nearby post office. There are countless restaurants with a good variety within 1 mile. The 7-mile bridge is also nearby. Feel like dinner and a movie? We have a great place for you. The quaint movie theater nearby plays the latest popular movies and even serves wine. A few minutes down the road, visit the Sunset Grill for great lunch or dinner poolside with ocean view.
If you just want some quiet time to relax and reflect, there's a nearby public library; but if you're in the mood for KEY WEST--just jump on the convenient Trolley, which picks up next to Kmart for a nominal fee. Aside from Sombrero Beach Park, you can go to the huge Marathon Park just a few minutes away that has lots of activities for kids of all ages, (tennis, skateboard, playground, etc.) If you want to try something different, visit the Dolphin Research Center & swim with the dolphins. So many things to do, places to go and things to see--or NOT... It's the Florida Keys... Do what you want --when you want. I invite you to enjoy!

Everything was clean and neat, the amenities were in great shape and well described in the write up. Great location, we biked to the beach, Publix and the golf course!
Maggie was very friendly and inviting. Very attentive to our needs and any concerns. The house is very clean and decorated beautifully. This property was perfect for our dog with the fenced in yard.

I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
This was a great house to rent for vacation. Plenty of room for our boat. Maggie is fantastic with communication. It is a great property and we hope to stay again.
Huge yard for parking / easy for boat trailer / crystal clear pool / great dock and fish cleaning station / grill / hammock / tons of covered outdoor seating / bikes and GREAT AC in a great location. Perfect find and we will be back.
Great house in nice quiet neighborhood. Perfect location close to groceries and pharmacies.
Our only complaint is the pool is not heated and too cold to use until the last 2 days of our month long stay.
We rented a boat and having the dock at the back of the house was very convenient. Only real issue with the house was the stove was a strange flat top push button thing.
House is very well maintained and stocked with everything we needed. Property manager answered questions immediately. Our only complaint would be it was a fairly long idle to get to open water. Would def stay again!
The house is exactly as advertised, nice dock, above ground pool, plenty of parking and great kitchen. Very comfortable place to stay and Maggie (the owner) was very attentive to our needs and called to check in with us to make sure our stay was going well. Maggie is very easy to work with. The yard is fenced in and was great for our dogs. We had plenty of parking for 4 cars and the boat trailer. The boat ramp is nearby and it was easy to take the boat around to the house using google maps. We had a great stay. Vickie and Maurice.

Needs Improvement !
Sheets were dirty contacted owner was told cleaning lady would be back to take care of the issue but she never showed up washed the sheets ourself. No beach towels told that people steal them so quit buying them. Bath towels have holes in them.

The cleaning lady was replaced after she failed to return to replace the broken towel. She wasn’t let go because she did a poor job because that can happen to everyone at least once.
Negative reviews are taken seriously and used as an opportunity to make improvements where needed. But they should be fair and complete. It should be noted that I attempted to make things right but my offers were rejected.
Lastly, Beach towels are not part of the rental amenities and an after the fact complaint about is unfair.
Thank you for your feedback it has been taken seriously and corrected.
I booked this property for the dock and the kitchen. I was happy with both. The kitchen and living room area are nice and open and comfortably fit our group of six. Two things that did stand out, while the kitchen itself is beautiful, the cabinets and dishes could use a deep scrubbing. We washed most of the dishes before using them as they were not clean but had been put in the cabinets, and the inside and outside of the cabinets needed a good wipe down.
Another issue we had, was that we were provided a single garbage bag, a filthy used dish sponge, no dish soap... after we finished our first meal, we realized we needed to go back to Publix to get garbage bags, dish soap, liquid hand soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. I did speak to Maggie about this and she said that she would start stocking the home for adequately for future guests. I think that is necessary when hosting a home that accommodates up to eight guests.
The home itself was tidy, and offers many great areas to sit together, which we enjoyed. We also found the location to be very convenient, as it is a quick drive to Publix and the dive shops. The home is well lit and in a safe area and I would recommend it.
One more suggestion to the owner-all of the beds are comfortable, but the flat as pancakes pillows in both of the smaller rooms have had a good run, its time for new ones! :)

Cate,
I appreciate your time in writing a review. But I was a bit surprised with your comment about the cleanliness or pillows, since you never mentioned that when I confirmed your satisfaction with the house on your first day or in later conversations. I would have had those issues corrected immediately.
Also, I'd like to clarify a couple things. so future guests aren't misguided.
When we spoke, I agreed that for future "short term rentals" less than a week, I will provide a limited supply of the necessities such as kitchen soap, garbage bags and clean sponges in addition to the toilet paper and bath soap I already provide. However, if a guest has a specific brand of product or knows they will be using large amounts of any of those items, they should buy or bring their favorite products.
Also, as to the pillows, I change them out very frequently. It sounds like you used a pillow that was just too soft for your liking. I have supplied the house with abundant pillows- enough for all sleeping styles and preferences (firm, medium, soft) to ensure even Goldilocks sleeps comfortably. :)
Nevertheless, I taken extensive measures to ensure my future guests' complete satisfaction. I appreciate your feedback.
We really enjoyed our stay.
The kitchen oven and stovetop were a little difficult to figure out and the ice maker didn’t provide much ice but other than that - we really enjoyed our trip.
thank you!!
The owner was easy to talk to and always easy to get in touch with. The only problem she couldn’t resolve was the pool turned green and could not get it fixed in our time.
The house location was perfect for beach, restaurants and anything else needed.
Also with tile flooring and fenced in yard it was perfect for our dog and cat.

Our stay was very comfortable. Location was within biking distance to gorgeous Sombrero Beach and local grocery stores. Neighborhood was quiet. Pool had issues but the owner seriously tried to rectify. Great stay...highly recommend
Great home away from "Home"!
Maggie was great to work with! We booked it in Sept. 2021 and stayed in Feb.2022. Several things had changed in the description like availability of kayaks, and bicycles!but the place was very nice, with a well stocked kitchen and the beds and living space indoors and outdoors were very comfortable!
We would definitely recommend for the location, host and comfort!

My family absolutely loved this property. The pictures on line do not do it justice. The fenced in yard was huge. It have plenty of room to park vehicles and water toys and lots of room for our pet to explore. The beds were very comfortable.
Overall the property is just what we wanted. Communication leading up to the trip was great. It was easy to check in and the neighborhood was good. We had everything we wanted within a few miles and it was centrally located to all the keys.
This is a lovely getaway for a vacation. It was the perfect size for our family of five. Thank you Maggie for your hospitality. We would stay here again.
This property has a lot to offer. It's centrally located in a great area accessible to everything Marathon has to offer. A great place to experience Sombrero Beach.
