Another Great Stay
This was our 3rd stay at this perfect home. The location is ideal.The property has the most beautiful landscaping that gives it a very secluded feel. We enjoyed the pool everyday and the screened porch at night. We kayaked, took bike rides and just appreciated our surroundings. Phil and Linda are wonderful and caring hosts. They are always available if needed. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. We look forward to returning next year!

perfect getaway, this is keys living
This is a superb Keys rental that feels like your own secluded resort.
Owner is kind and super responsive with all communications.
The home is as per advertisement, clean, and stocked. We loved the screened porch which we sat out having coffee breakfast and evening drink. All the rooms have opening doors which in the morning was fab to let the keys breeze flow through.
The heated pool was a treat, the garden tastefully landscaped and very private.
We enjoyed fishing off the dock catching many variations of fish, at night the dock light was cool to watch the fish and wildlife such as manatee pop by.
Kitchen well stocked with coffee, sugar, spices, soap etc...
Would defiantly return and recommend to anyone.

Great Vacation
We had a great Spring Break at your home. Thank you for sharing. The location was fantastic. The kids loved riding bikes and we all enjoyed fishing right off the dock catching tons of fish. The pool was also fantastic.

Tropical paradise
We loved the house and location. We felt like we were at our own tropical resort. Private and relaxing. We had plenty of room to dock our rented boat. We saw Manatees off the dock!! The pool was so warm and enjoyable! We are hoping to book again in the future!

Fabulous property for our vacation
This was our first trip to the keys and this home was perfect. Property was easy to access, clean and had everything we needed. Pool was perfectly heated for night time swimming. Caught many different types of fish off of dock including Snook and Tarpon. Also had daily visits from Manatees which was magical. Would not hesitate to book this property again.

Tropical keys paradise
This house was way more beautiful than the pictures could show! It was like our own private resort. Thoughtfully equipped with comfortable furniture and beds everywhere. We love Marathon and the house was in a perfect location.
The owners were prompt in helpful with any questions asked. My favorite place was sitting in the pool under the umbrella. Loved our stay!

20th Anniversary
We have been anticipating and planning this trip for well over a year. The home was everything we wanted and more. The check in process was so easy. The property feels secluded and tropical. It was close enough to everything with that private feel. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Phil and Linda were so easy to get a hold of. They even sent over extensive info on where to go and where to eat. It was perfect. We spent a couple days just enjoying the outdoor pool area. Absolutely beautiful. I can’t say enough about how amazing our stay was.
