The beach is your backyard: Sunrise over the ocean, sunset behind the coconut trees, stars reflecting in the water like diamonds, this is what frames your daily life at Ray's Place. Here, you are reminded of how beautiful the world is. And...you are invited to discover additional thrills that nature has to offer: when the timing is right indulge yourself in the contemplation of the moon rising over the ocean. It is our pleasure to welcome you to our little slice of paradise. We ourselves live on property. There are also four additional vacation rentals on site. Each of them can only accommodate two guests. We offer a clean, functional and fully detached single wide mobile home. It has been recently renovated and embraces beautifully the beach lifestyle with a Florida Keys touch. It is spacious, well organized, and would comfortably welcome four guests. Through the many windows it radiates natural sunlight throughout the day. It is surrounded by native trees and lush tropical landscaping. A cozy outdoor dining area is reserved for you in the shade just outside your front door. The tiki area is a few steps away, it is shared with all guests. The property is conveniently located in the middle of the Keys at mile marker 58. Ideal for day trips from Marathon to Key West, Key Largo and Islamorada. In addition to all the attractions you have planned to visit there is plenty to do right here on property: you are welcome to enjoy a barbecue cookout at the Tiki, a leisurely swim in the warm waters right in front of the property, or a kayak excursion (kayaks available to owners and vacationers only). The beach is your backyard... snorkel gear comes in handy, so do water shoes and a fishing license. Across the street is the beginning of a very nicely renovated section of the Florida Keys Heritage Trail that leads you all the way to the town of Marathon. We particularly like to 'go for a walk' there early in the morning when a variety of birds are out and about. These include cardinals, mangrove cuckoos, white-crowned pigeons and yellow throat warblers. In our neighborhood, Tursi, Gambit and friends are waiting to put on a show for you at the Dolphin Research Center. Home to Flipper in the 60's, DRC is located 1/4 of a mile from the property.
