Salty Anglers: Waterfront Retreat with Heated Pool, Dock & Walk to Sombrero Beach
Welcome to Salty Anglers, your private slice of paradise in the heart of the Florida Keys. This beautifully updated waterfront 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation rental in Marathon, Florida has been thoughtfully designed to combine coastal charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or a fishing trip with friends, Salty Anglers offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.

The stay was great, the house was well supplied, had everything we needed. Communication with the owner, Bill was very good. He was quick to respond to any of my questions. Would definitely stay there again!
Great property just as described. Very clean. Spacious with room for everyone. We especially liked the boat dock and pool. The large kitchen and living space made a great spot for hanging out with the family. Would stay here again!
There were just 2 couples staying in this property without a boat. It was wonderful. Very clean, nice amenities, quiet and a very responsive host. Good central location, close to one of the best beaches in the Keys.
We absolutely loved this property! Lots of room for us and our adult children. Everything you need in just a short distance! We loved hanging out on the dock and watch all of the wildlife - even had a couple of manatee swim by!! Great location in the keys 45 min to Islamorada and and hour to Key West. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice property, well maintained and in a great location in Marathon. Close to grocery stores/restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed and the gas grill on the patio worked great.
Bill was very helpful, offering restaurant suggestions and answering questions during our stay.
Everyone loved the pool and patio. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Keys!
Salty Angler vacation rental has a great location close to the beach, grocery store, and dining. The house is spacious, comfortable and very clean. Best of all the pool was warm and really made our week since the weather was cool and cloudy during our stay.
We were able to fish off the dock and see a manatee swim up. When the sun came out the beach was close by and very beautiful. We played a lot of corn hole in the back yard with their boards. You won't be disappointed with this rental. The owners/property managers were outstanding as well.
We had a great stay in this beautiful home. We traveled with our three grown children and each of their significant others. Our son-in-low is a charter fishing captain and he brought his small boat for us to use everyday. This home, dock, location and provisions made for the perfect get away. We loved the house and it was perfect for four couples. We are huge eaters and I am a gourmet cook and everything in the kitchen was perfect. I appreciate that there was laundry detergent, clean beach towels, extra pillows and anything else we needed for a great stay. The location was perfect for us. A beautiful boat ride out of the canals and then we were about 17 N miles off of the humps where we fished and caught tuna for sushi dinners several days. It was a quick ride to the seven mile bridge and sand bars. We also drove to Key West for a day and it was a beautiful one hour drive. Publix and Winn Dixie were less than a mile drive from the driveway. We will definitely be back with friends and family whenever we want to stay in the Keys.
The house was very well appointed with everything needed to make the stay enjoyable and comfortable. We had an awesome family vacation with no problems whatsoever.
We were so pleased with Salty Anglers- the host was so accommodating and just a pleasure to work with! We're already looking to see of the availability for our next trip down!
Beautiful property and fantastic host! This was a return trip for us to Bill’s home and can’t how nice it is and how welcoming Bill is. He went out of his way to put in a stair gate for our toddler! Definitely our go to place when we visit the keys! Thank you so much Bill!
