We have vacationed in Marathon for the past 12 years, but this was by far the best place we have ever stayed. After 5 weeks it became our home away from home. The house was beautifully decorated and well equipped; the privacy on the canal a bonus. Others have commented on all of the amenities of which there are many, but I believe Ariana was also responsible for our exceptional experience, making us feel welcomed from the time we first set foot in the unit and treating us as her guests As others have pointed out in their reviews, she was so responsive when we had a question or needed help, which was especially appreciated after our previous experiences at other rentals in Marathon. Thank you Ariana! We will definitely be back next year! 5+ rating. Karen and Mike
