Perfect spot to explore the keys and soak up the sun

Our family loved this house! The pool was warm and perfect for relaxing. Easy drive to Key West for a day trip, and right next to groceries and dining.The AC got the house COLD and there were so many little things the owners thought of to make our stay convenient and stress free. Highly recommend!

Wonderful house!

We really loved our stay at this beautiful house. Agree with a lot of the other reviews - house was super clean, centrally located, kitchen is about as well stocked as you could want, decor is beautiful, pool and downstairs hangout area are super fun, though it is a little odd the access is only from the front. Overall, it was everything we could ask for and we enjoyed our time here immensely.

Great time!

We had a great stay in marathon key! The house was very clean. Access to the backyard/pool was through the front door - we wished the back deck had stair access down to the pool. But that certainly didn’t stop us from enjoying it!

Nice one week stay

The home looks recently renovated and had designer looks. Plenty of space. Lovely next door neighbors. Centrally located. Not a lot of storage space for our things. The owners could provide more upfront instruction with regard to pool controls.

Winter Break 2025

Our family stayed at the property the last week in January. The process was smooth from start to finish. The listing was very accurate, the house was clean and well stocked with the necessities, and the owner communication was outstanding. The neighbors are very close in this neighborhood but other that a little noise from them and a helicopter from the airport multiple times a day, everything was great.

Fabulous week in the heart of the Keys

My family of four spent a week here, and enjoyed it immensely. The house has a pool in which we spent most of our early mornings and late evening and is a five minute drive from Sombrero Beach were we spent several afternoons. Very conveniently located for our vacation plans - a little over 2 hours drive from Miaimi Int'l airport, and just over an hour's drive to Key West. All the amenities we needed (kitchen with all the necessities, 2.5 bathrooms, three separate bedrooms) plus a bunch of nice add-ons (billiards, pool toys, beach gear). Couldn't have been better.

Tropical Retreat

The home is beautiful inside and out.. definitely the neighborhood is up and coming.. restoration can be appreciated. The pool is small but mighty.. we enjoyed a day soaking up the rays.If you are beach goers like ourselves plan on finding parks with rentals of beach chairs and umbrellas as they were not in condition to use, we had no problem renting for the week but would have been nice as advertised available with rental property.We as well purchased a cooler that we left for the next to enjoy but again because we love spending long days relaxing beachside!!We never cooked there.. but I would say stocked well if your choice.. plenty of room for the three of us. Plenty of towels for use and plenty of beach towels for use.. very friendly to chat with owners, many great recommendations! Pretty easy to navigate around and into the Keys.. we appreciate our stay!!

This is a clean rental. Yes it has a swimming pool and you can even heat the water if needed. It also has pool table in the same area but the mosquitoes will eat you alive! Asked the landlord if they could come spray the outside since they are so bad, he told us no it just that way this time of year. Told me to buy off spray and cintranela candles. The inside is beautifully decorated. However the furniture is not comfortable at all except the beds are excellent . The washer and dryer do not work properly. You can dry for hours before your items are dry. There is a Jacuzzi type bathtub in the Master bedroom but it doesn't work. Who in this day and age doesn't have a Kurig Coffee pot in a rental? This one does not just has an older coffee pot. I feel the owner is more about the looks and style of this rental and doesn't care or doesn't think about his clients comfort and enjoyment.
