About this house rental
Located in Marathon, this attractive house for $425 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Lemon Key Cottage Welcome home… Thanks to Hurricane Irma, we now have a beautiful newly renovated home! We've concluded a complete restoration and modernization. (check out the new pics) Lemon Key Cottage is absolutely stunning with new: bathrooms, kitchen, appliances, flooring, windows, metal roof, doors, lanai and pool bathroom, landscaping, furniture, pool equipment, and much more. We LOVE the result! Everything is new, and it looks beautiful, bright, clean, cozy, and rejuvenating. Our home was recently featured by Trips to Discover Magazine! We know you'll like the result too. Jeff and I would like to welcome you to our Florida Keys home. We desire that your stay with us is memorable, relaxing, rejuvenating and enjoyable. Grab your sunglasses, flip-flops, and sunscreen and make your way to our beautiful heated pool. Don’t forget to make your favorite umbrella drink! It’s your time to slow down, relax and let the Keys’ mystique envelop and rejuvenate you. What we have is yours to enjoy… Lemon Key Cottage is located on a deep water (12’) canal only 5 homes from the ocean. So, bring your boat and tie up to our 60’ lighted dock with electrical outlets. (We can dock boats up to 27' LOA.) Our canal contains a variety of fish species especially Mangrove Snapper and bait fish like mullet and pilchards. Feel free to use the provided fishing poles to catch dinner off the dock. Use small hooks baited with shrimp or squid and fish under the dock or boats for some decent snappers. Throw a cast net and see what you catch. A lighted fish cleaning station is provided with a wash down hose. You can see the occasional predator fish at night around the dock. There’s a bait fish cage available. Snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or flats fishing is accessible right at the end of the canal. If diving is your thing you'll find some of the best dive spots minutes from our dock. Occasionally, our canal is visited by Manatees, so be careful when operating watercraft. The canal empties into the ocean through a flats area. Our flats are an amazing aquarium of ocean life. Do yourself a favor and take the two provided tandem kayaks through these waters to see a plethora of sea life. From our canal, you can reach the Gulf by taking Vaca Cut, which is less than a 5 minute boat ride. We purchased Lemon Key Cottage in July of 2012. We made additions and renovations including; the heated pool with fiber optic night lights, landscaping and outdoor lighting, hurricane shutters, utility improvements, kitchen appliances, davit and dock improvements, 4 - Flat panel TVs, wireless high speed internet, and various cosmetic enhancements. Unlike some other vacation rental homes, we decided to stock all the general necessities of home so that others can immediately start enjoying their vacation without running to the grocery store to buy paper products, trash bags, and hand soap. The home is ~ 1400sq ft of central air conditioned living space with 2 bedrooms , 3 full baths, kitchen, living room, dining room, family room, laundry room, and a screen enclosed lanai. The kitchen is fully equipped including pots, pans, toaster, coffee maker, plates, silverware, the very important blender, and much more. Linen closet includes all bedding sheets/blankets, bath & pool towels. Many renters comment how much they enjoy our plush wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedrooms as it's much more cozy and 'knee' friendly compared to cold, hard tile/marble floors. Should you wish to grill your catch of the day outdoors, there is a Weber Grill waiting for you master chefs. Our neighbors are full time residents that you’ll enjoy meeting. Neighbor Paul is a commercial fisherman of lobsters and stone crab. Usually, you can watch him clean his catch each night at the dock. Paul's wife, Danielle, owns the floral store in town and caters weddings. Neighbor Freida owns a local hotel and dives frequently for lobsters on her free time. You can imagine the seafood recipes that these guys have! Neighbor Cori is a marine biologist, and she is working hard to preserve and build our coral reefs in the Keys. Call us if you have questions: Four, one, nine, three, four, one, three, one, nine, nine. Wishing you an excellent vacation at Lemon Key Cottage. Welcome home....

Couldn't of asked for a better stay. The house was immaculate, the beds were very comfortable, and the poo; was just the right size for swimming
Jeff was very quick with any response.
If we stay in the Keys again, this will be the first house I would consider.
Thanks for everything!

House was exactly as pictured. Very clean on arrival with all needed items to get my vacation started. Owners very responsive to questions. Location is fantastic. Close proximity to grocery stores, dining, and beaches. Pool clean and everything on the property was in excellent condition. Both beds were very comfortable with nice linens. Would definitely rent this home again if I return to this area.

This was the perfect home for our family of 4! It was like home away from home… beautiful house with everything you could possibly need, amazing backyard, and convenient location to everything! We spent a ton of time in the pool and loved kayaking out of the canal into the flats and exploring… we found a huge starfish and a baby nurse shark in one of our adventures! Neighbors were awesome… we went out fishing with Eddie twice and he was so patient with our young boys and put us right on top of fish! Jeff and Mary were awesome hosts! Will definitely stay here again when we return to marathon!

Great stay at the Lemon Key Cottage. Clean, modern, and a wonderful layout. The owners are amazing, extremely responsive and are always there to help you make your trip to the Florida Keys extra special. You get the feel you're staying at a friend's house. We brought our jet ski and the home had everything we needed to accommodate all our on and off the water activities. A+ rental for sure!

The property was just what we expected. Easy access to the ocean and quiet neighborhood.
We were on a family vacation and needed a boat dock. The property had all the amenities for a great stay. The kids loved the pool and the beds were very comfortable. Manatees swam up to our boat in the canal regularly.

Fantastic
We had an amazing time staying at Jeff and Mary’s home. Everything was smooth from the beginning until the end. The home is even better than what we expected. It literally has every thing you could possibly need. We enjoyed sitting outside listening to music around the pool. The kayaks were a lot of fun! I really liked paddling to the end of the inlet and watching the sun go down! The beds were super comfortable and we had plenty of room to mover around. We made some amazing memories and cannot wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was our first vacation with an infant and it was the perfect set up for my family. We stayed at the house and pool side just about every day because it was too nice to leave. The house is very close to restaurants, the beach and grocery stores. I would recommend this place to everyone, such a nice and relaxing vacation!

Our family of four (2 kids, 7 years and 10 years old) loved this comfortable vacation home. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt at home. The owners took great care to make sure the home had everything we would need during our week stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and fishing off the back deck. The beds were comfortable and they even had extra roll out beds. All appliances are new and spotless. We can’t say enough good things about this home and we hope to stay there again soon!

This house was beautiful and very clean. Everything at this property was in perfect working condition. We rented a boat for 5 days and docked it at the this property. The house was very close to open water from the canal. If we weren't on the boat we were in the well maintained, heated pool at the house. We had an amazing vacation and would definitely stay at this property again.

Awesome home!
From the booking process to checkout and every thing in between this is an amazing home to stay in! Jeff and Mary were great to work with and very communicative. The home is the perfect location to enjoy all the keys has to offer. Their personal suggestions of things to do in the area were by far some of our favorites. The pool and out door living space was the best icing on the cake of a wonderful vacation home! We hope to visit again soon and cannot recommend enough!

Our stay at Lemon Key Cottage was everything we expected and more! The house is beautiful and created a wonderful home base for our adult family adventure. Pool was perfect, patio great and lanai with bathroom a great feature. All of that and a dock on a canal a few houses from the ocean!

We’ve been coming to the Florida Keys for 30 years now and this home far exceeded our expectations. Very accommodating and everything was such that we could just immediately start our vacation verses running to the store twice a day
