Clean and Comfortable Home with a Fastastic Pool

We spent a week a Blue Shell in March and had a wonderful experience. The home is extremely clean,and we found it to be well-equipped and perfect for our needs. The pool was amazing - very few rental homes have a pool this clean and sparkling. There is plenty of seating outside and all of it was clean and it great condition. We opted for the pool heat and were so happy we did since we are native Floridians and would have otherwise not used it as much. We love Marathon and visit often but found this home and rental experience to be one of our best yet. Communication was excellent and timely. We would not hesitate to rent this home or from this agency again.

Amazing place for our family!

We are so happy we booked with Pineapple Properties! Meredith was quick to reply to my silly questions. The house was clean and well stocked! We loved the kayaks and games in the house and being on the canal gave us unlimited fishing and fun! This was our first time in Marathon and we truly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend this property!

Nice pool along with great management!

House was well stocked and comfortable, along with good amenities. The pool was a nice size and relaxing. A straight fast shot to the ocean, and nice and new. The neighborhood is in transition but very quiet. The management team was great! They put together a book on the area that was the best we have seen, I learned some new fishing regulation and clarifications. Great Experience!

Clean and quiet home on a canal

Overall, we enjoyed our stay on this property. It was very clean and the space was adequate for a group of 6. We enjoyed the private pool and outdoor/indoor games and other amenities included. It was a quiet street minus the rooster who liked to sing at all hours. My only callout would be location - it's a drive to any beach and upon driving into the street it appears very rundown with some of the other properties. We always felt safe though.

Marathon Fl

This is a very cute well decorated cleaned house with a nice private pool. The pool has lots of loungers and chairs for everyone . The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, cooking appliances and towels. The neighborhood is in transition to rental homes but it is very quiet and safe. It is also close and easy to get to several groceries stores and drug stores. We really have enjoyed our time here and would rebooked this for future visits.

Awesome place

We loved our stay. Our group was 2 families (4 adults and 3 kids under 12). The house was clean and very well stocked. The included bikes/kayaks/games were a nice extra. We rented a boat and the dockage was perfect (tip for future renters with boat: the canal is tight for turning your boat around- we found that backing the boat up upon return, all the way down the canal is much easier than turning around in the canal). The pool was awesome (pay the extra for the heat- so worth it). Maintenance manager, Pete, and property manager, Meredith, were extremely helpful and responsive with questions we had. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful Blue

Blue Shell is a perfect home away from home for vacationing in the Florida Keys! Very clean & decorated beautifully with lots of amenities for relaxing & fun in the sun. Complete with a small pool, bikes, kayaks, outdoor grill and plenty of seating areas. Great for a family of 4 or two couples. One minor downfall is the street and canal are very narrow for turning a boat around and trailering/parking a larger boat. Smaller boats are a better fit for this property. Overall this home will not disappoint!

Marathon stay

We enjoyed our stay. Beds were very comfortable - plenty of linens - beach towels, etc. Bait freezer is a definite plus. Pool is very comfortable in the morning but a bit warm in the afternoon - plenty of pool inflatables. Grill is clean and easy to use. Canal is very narrow - we had a 27' boat and had great difficulty turning it around every day - scratched the cowling on the motor because of width - keep that in mind if you have a larger boat. In the kitchen, owners need to invest in steak knives - very few sharp knives to cook with - pans need to be replaced - teflon coming off pans. Unit has an odor when you walk in - maybe previous smokers - couch is holding odors. Maybe replace with vinyl or leather so odors are not held. Pineapple Properties (Meredith) was very receptive when contacted. We appreciated this. Just a few minor changes would increase this rating to a 5 star. Thanks for your hospitality. Vicki

Perfect House for all of Us

The property manager was great, thanks for taking off the chillenator; we're from Florida and like the pool warm..we loved having a private pool to ourselves. The house was pretty and clean. Not sure how we would get the kayaks in the canal though so we didn't try. I understand Ring security but the one pointing at the pool was a little invasive feeling. Thanks to the cleaning lady for being so cordial and cleaning early to let us enter a little before check-in. The house was conveniently located to everything we had reserved to do. The beds were comfortable. Thanks for being so accommodating to my inquiries. We had a great time!

Great new property pleasure to stay.

This house has all you want in a waterfront property. All the interior is new and clean. Since it is new some of the lighting seemed not bright enough. It was sufficient to see but just seemed on the dim side. If you stay here and need a fan to sleep you might need to bring one. There was one standing fan in the master bedroom but the other two bedrooms didn't have anything. Pool has a chiller which was great to cool off after a long day of sunburn, it is an extra cost, I feel it should be included in price, it is not. Pool had plenty of sun exposure thru the day. Boat dock was in great shape no issues there we had a 20 ft boat to dock. The run to open water was a little tricky but it is marked for day use.
