The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from this centrally located place. 🏝 The Property From the moment you arrive at this stunning private island retreat, you’ll feel the world melt away. Tucked behind a secure gate on exclusive Tingler Island, this newly renovated 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath sanctuary blends sleek modern luxury with laid-back Keys charm. Every detail was thoughtfully designed during its 2024 transformation—from airy, sun-soaked interiors to outdoor living spaces made for unforgettable moments. Start your mornings with a coffee in hand on the ocean-facing balcony just off the kitchen, watching the water come alive. Spend your days floating in the sparkling pool or soaking in the private Jacuzzi tucked just steps away, perfect for an intimate and tranquil escape. For those who crave a little action, challenge your guests to a game of ping pong on the shaded first floor, or head upstairs where a pool table sits right off the open-concept kitchen and dining room—because here, fun and connection are built into every level. Two expansive third-floor balconies give you options: one overlooking the dock and pool for sunbathing or cocktails, and one facing the ocean for sunrise breakfasts with a view. Climb even higher to the 4th-floor observation deck, where 360-degree panoramic views of the shimmering Atlantic and the lush landscape stretch as far as the eye can see—a front-row seat to the Keys’ most breathtaking sunsets. And when it’s time to venture out, your 60-ft private dock awaits, complete with a professional-grade fish cleaning station and space for your boat or jet skis. With room for 10 cars or even a trailer, there’s no need to leave your toys behind. \*\*\*The canal entrance does get low to about 2ft at low tide.\*\*\* 🏖 Location, Location, Location This home offers a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility. You're just: \- 2 minutes by car to Sombrero Beach, one of the most picturesque and swimmable beaches in the Keys \- Or a scenic 10-minute kayak paddle through crystal-clear waters right from your dock Beyond the Backyard: Adventure, Relaxation & Pure Keys Living This private island escape places you at the crossroads of luxury and adventure. Just minutes from the dock, you’ll find yourself in open water—whether you're heading out to the Atlantic or Gulf, you're perfectly positioned to explore both. Marathon is a world-renowned fishing destination, teeming with mahi, tuna, sailfish, grouper, and more. Snorkeling and diving hotspots like Sombrero Reef and Looe Key are also just a short boat ride away, offering unforgettable encounters with coral reefs, tropical fish, and even sea turtles. Back at the canal, keep an eye out for manatees, dolphins, tarpon, and snook—or just drop a line and let the kids fish right off the dock all afternoon. Beyond the water, Marathon offers a mix of laid-back charm and convenient access to everything you need. Stock up at Publix, CVS, Walgreens, or gas up for your next outing—all within minutes. When it’s time to dine, you’ll find incredible waterfront restaurants nearby, serving everything from fresh-caught seafood to island cocktails. Looking for more to explore? You’re within a short drive of beloved local attractions like the Turtle Hospital, Dolphin Research Center, Aquarium Encounters, Pigeon Key, the iconic Seven Mile Bridge, and Curry Hammock State Park. For the bold, local charters offer snorkeling, diving, and sunset cruises, while rental shops nearby can outfit you with kayaks, paddle boards, or bikes for a day of exploring the island on your own terms. Whether you seek thrills, tranquility, or a mix of both, this destination delivers the best of the Keys—all from the comfort of your own private island retreat. Guest Access The property has a large drive way that can easily fit 10 cars and 3 covered parking areas under the house.

The owner is very easy and quick to respond. The house is clean and quite large and very private. Views of sunrise and sunset are wonderful. The age of the house does show somewhat but does not take away from having an enjoyable week. They pool is fairly large and the grandkids loved it. My husband and I used the hot tub and it was quite nice. The kitchen was stocked with all needed appliance and the laundry room was very much appreciated.

The house is gorgeous & very spacious- perfect for a large family or couples. Every room of this home was very clean, well kept and stocked with essentials. The location alone provides an array of fun-filled vacation options: we rented a boat and kept it right at the dock, paddled the kayaks around the canal and walked to Sombreo Beach. The pool is refreshing after a day on the boat or beach (we had it heated & temp was great). The views are spectacular from each balcony and observation deck. We also enjoyed the pool table with a family competition. Elias is very responsive and cares about his guests. I would highly recommend Elias & Marie's rental properties & we will be staying again. ##### Kelley W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary O. Jan 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location We were a family of 10, six adults and four kids (ages 14-9). The house was very clean and the owner was there when we arrived. The owners checked with us via text to insure that everything was fine. Pool and hot tub were well maintained as was the landscaping. We rented a 24 foot boat for the week and had no issues even at low tide with the water depth at the dock. The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances worked. AC unit kept the house comfortable in every room. The only negative thing are the no-see-umms…but you’re in the Keys and there’s no getting away from them😏 We’d definitely rent again! ##### Gary O.

Jan 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Christmas Stay What an amazing time we had staying in Marathon at this home. The home was just as advertised. It was beautiful and well kept. The kitchen was well equipped and everything in the home was in great working order. The pool was beautiful and well taken care of. We opted to have the pool heated and it was the best part of the trip for our children. The dock was in great shape, and we enjoyed spending time there, even though we chose not to rent a boat. The views from the top deck were unmatched and the home is literally a 2-minute drive to Sombrero Beach which was absolutely great. The homeowner was wonderful. He was in contact regularly to make things were going well and he was very attentive and prompt to any little issue we had. This place is a dream, and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great get away in the Florida Keys! We will definitely be back! ##### Mark G.

Aug 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tingler Island Delight Spacious multi-level home, with 4 large bedrooms, each with it’s own en suite, and one of which is a mother-in-law efficiency. The kitchen was well equipped for the nights we cooked dinner. There is also a grill downstairs by the pool. The home is surrounded by mature landscaping giving the property a lush, tropical feel. The hermit crabs, land crabs and iguana’s, made for fun nature watching walks around the island. The draw of coming to the Key’s for us is to fish, lobster, boat and relax. The jacuzzi and pool were nice to relax in at night, after a long day of boating. We had fun playing on the pool table on a rainy day. The canal behind the house is shallow at low tide, which Elias told us about before we arrived. He advised us to bring the 26ft boat, versus the 36ft boat, which was much appreciated. In addition, the driveway can be tricky backing in a trailer because it is framed with large rocks. Please note the home does have lots of stairs and no elevator. Stairs were fine for us, but may present an issue for people with limited mobility. The rooftop deck provides a beautiful bird’s-eye view at sunrise, and sunset. It is also perfect for star gazing. The home is not new, but suited our needs. We had a wonderful family vacation, and I would recommend this home to other travelers. Elias and his wife Marie are a phone call away should you need anything. ##### Catherine S.

The house is definetly not displayed on line as we found it. The house is very worn and dated with many of the amenities descrided not working. The exterior is way overdue for a paint job and I was kind of embarrased to stay there since the neighbors properties were well maintained. The furnitiure is very worn and mismatched like it came from a second hand store and the linens do not even fit the beds. The beds ALL were awful and the linens were worn and did not fit, I could not wait to return home to get a good night sleep. The pool itself was great, clean, heated and in good shape. There were no pool maintance tools such as a brush or a skimmer net. The pool area had some old worn out plastic furniture with no umbrellas so make sure you load up on the sun screen. The hot tub worked but leaked and make sure you put the cinder blocks on the broken cover so it does not blow off. There was a grill by the pool with no tank and so rusted I would not take a chance cooking on it. The grill on the upper balcony did work but worn and very dirty. The house had no simple staples such as paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, dish washer soap, hand soap, garbage bags and TOILET PAPER. I did speak to the owner after we arrived since he called and asked how the cleaners did. I told him we were disappointed that the house did not meet our expectatations and his response was its a rental. Marathon is a great area with lots of outdoor activities and beaches. There are other rentals in the area I recommend you explore them. ##### Patrick C.
