Small things could make this a 5-star, like pool lights, a few more towels and beach/lounge chairs.

Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Beautiful location, house needs TLC This house could really shine with care, as the property is at a great location and is surrounded by lush greenery. We saw manatees in the canal and the antics of all of the lizards were captivating. The landscaping and view of the canal was gorgeous. It is a very peaceful place. Unfortunately there were minuses to the home itself. We were looking very forward to spending a lot of time in the pool area away from the bugs, but a large portion of missing screening let in a lot of insects. Our son, who has disabilities, was terrified of the interior circular steps so he used the exterior steps only. It would have been very helpful if the listing included a floor plan and a clear showing of the spiral staircase, as anyone who has disabilities should know how narrow that staircase is. The floors were very dirty and oddly the home lacked mirrors. The furniture was old and not very comfortable. The kitchen was large but lacking a lot of essentials; we even had to buy cooking sheets for the oven. Because the home is for sale, the owners might not want to put any money into updating the home, but that's what should be done to make guests comfortable and able to cook without being frustrated at the lack of pots and pans. ##### Victoria M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alison B. Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious and well located home in need of updating. Our family of 8 adults spent a week at the Big Kahuna. The Pros: The house was large, with lots of spaces for people to spread out. It is located a short walk to the beach and has a long dock on a canal. We had kayaks delivered and loved being able to launch from the property! The management company was quick with communication and easy to work with and they left a nice starter kit of basic supplies for us (soap, paper products, dishwasher and laundry pods, etc). Shopping and lots of restaurants within a couple miles. The Cons: This property needs cosmetic updating and new furniture. Lots of stains on all fabric surfaces. The pool area has many loose pavers and a missing screen section. The upstairs (rooftop) patio could be a beautiful spot, but has only a few rusty/broken beach chairs. This could be a really nice rental if it had some basic upgrades. ##### Alison B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert S.

With Corona virus being a serious concern we had to hot to Publix and sanitized the entire place. Smudge marks on the sliding doors. Bathrooms were cleaned of debris from prior party but needed a serious cleaning. The property is showing signs years in the rental market. Not enough dishes, Pool tables sticks all are damaged. Ice maker was not working to say a few. We expected more for the amount of money spent on the unit including the ridiculous cleaning fees. We will look for another place next year. ##### Robert S.

However it needs attention the downstairs furniture really needs help, sofa broken, table and chairs wobble, upstairs furniture was nice but the gas stove top needs to be serviced and the refrigerator/ freezer needs to be lined up. Cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms need help and there is water damage throughout the house. Loved the dock, great place to clean fish and big enough for two boats. But then they charge you 200 dollars extra for a second boat. Loved the upstairs deck for evening sunsets. We had a great time and there was room for all 12 of us. ##### Diane B.

So many great features! Perfect home for a large family or multiple families and friends, it's huge, very clean, new furniture, the beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is amazing, plenty of room for dining in and has a great area with table and gas grill outside too! It was nice to have an extra refrigerator downstairs to keep the drinks for the coolers. The commercial ice machine is the best, we didn't have to run to the store daily to buy ice this was a huge bonus. With all the fishing we did we were able to fill coolers multiple times, the fish cleaning station on the dock is great! The sunset from the roof top deck is breathtaking!! The location is great, 5 min from the grocery stores and a short walk to a beautiful beach. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back, this house has it all and more! ##### Amber P.

Perfect size for our party of 11. Not for anyone who has problems with stairs. Inside is a spiral staircase that is difficult to maneuver. Outside stairs are much better, but since the main living area is on the upper level you walk up and down way too much. Pool is nice and dock has a fish cleaning station. Commercial ice machine was great when it worked but it broke during our stay. The bonus feature is that in the afternoon the entire back of the house is shaded including the dock. When coming in from a day of fishing or diving, it was great to be out of the sun while unloading and/or cleaning the fish. Minor repairs needed but none that hindered our stay. The management team was very quick to respond to anything that needed attention. The location is great. Publix was just up the road as well as Kmart. ##### Carrie D.

We had 7 people and we didn't feel crammed or in each other's way. The house was clean and the property manager/owner always responded to my message promptly. I really have nothing negative to say about the house. Will stay at this house again if we come back to Marathon. ##### Eduardo M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Matt H. Aug 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good vaction spot! Overall the property was great! Best Part: - It has a nice pool for the kids. - The rooftop to lay out in the sun is also a nice touch, since there isn't a yard to get any sun. - Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for a group. - Short walk/drive to the Beach! Less than a mile. - Kitchen was set up with enough stuff to cook. - Plenty of towels for the pool and beach. - Dock was also a nice are, not many fish though :( Part we didn't like: - There was NO propane in the grill or backup tank, so we couldn't grill out. Never went to pick one up. - Sunroom window wasn't fixed and had some safety concerns for kids. (hopefully will be fixed soon. - Sink was plugged in lower bedroom bath. Wasn't able to get the plug out for a while. Didn't expect to do plumbing work while I was there on vacation. Seemed to have been stuck for a while. - Was a nice place, but a bit on the spendy side for a week in Marathon. Overall, all complaints were small issues compared to what you got. It is perfect house for a family or group up to 8! We had two families with 5 kids. Kids loved the pool!!! ##### Matt H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas B.
