The host Joanne did a great job. The refrig went out the day we got there and they had a new small refrigerator by Sunday afternoon and an appliance repair person stopped by on Monday and replaced the Freon in the original. I had just sent a text Sunday thinking they would jump on it Monday but it was above and beyond what I expected. Job well done.

Great place. Great location.

This house was perfect for our 7th annual guys' fishing trip. I have been renting in Marathon for 20 years and we chose this house specifically for the quick access to offshore fishing and close proximity to Sunset Grille. It did not disappoint in either regard. 1 minute to ocean-side open water is hard to find in Marathon. The very small, but functional kitchen is well appointed with supplies. The house was very clean and plenty of linens and toiletries were provided for our stay.The ladder to the loft is a bit treacherous but doable for able bodied middle aged men. Small children or older guests should plan to stay in one of the two bedrooms.The deck and dock are fantastic and where we spent most of our time when not fishing or supporting the local watering holes. Dock, fillet table, hose, shore power all in great condition unlike our past rentals. Had everything we needed to clean our catch and dock the boat.Bait freezer and ice machine in lower level were very useful. Ice machine is good for drink ice or a small cooler. You will have to buy sufficient ice for fish coolers elsewhere. Lastly, Joanne and Island Breeze were a joy to deal with. Very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely be renting with them again.

I will not bash this property because the bed and deck were fabulous but I'll be honest about the home! 1) Island Breeze Realty was great to work with on the rental. 2) I had to order a TV in order to watch ESPN and other channels. Their TVs recieved about 12 channels and 5 were in Spanish. Two tvs were about 20 years old and there was a smart tv was in the guest bedroom but you needed a ROKU code to add anything to the 32 inch television. 3) The furniture in the den was old and small. All the cushions were worn out. 4) There wasn't a can opener with the kichen utensils and utensils were marginal. 5) The floor fan was so loud that it couldn't be used. 6) The deck was large and had a great view. The deck furniture sat so low and you couldnt see over the hand rail while relaxing. 7) There is a house about 20 feet away. The steps going to the houses are shared. 8) The house is quite tight for 2 couples. One family would be okay. 9) The neighbors next door live there and are wonderful. 10) There is a sewer plant close by so be prepared for the occasional odors. 11) There is an ice maker under the house. The ice maker in the house doesn't work so be prepared to go up and down 20 steps. 12) Great fishing from the pier and wonderful location for boating in the gulf and ocean. 13) Sunset grill is a short crawl away. I feel the amount of money I spent for 3 weeks that it should be better.
