Enjoyed a perfect week. This home had everything! Great location, beautiful views, and a relaxing porch and pool where we spent most of our time. Early morning kayaking—dolphin, manatees, birds! Owner was very responsive prior to and during our stay. Close to great restaurants and easy drive to Key West and islamorada.

We enjoyed our stay in Marathon and this home met all our needs and beyond. Besides the owners being quick to respond to any questions and simply being available, the home was the perfect size for our family and the amenities were a blessing.
With our family, we always have trouble finding the right place to vacation down in the Keys, because the men like to fish and the women like to lounge by the pool and beach. This home provided both of what we were looking for.
For the fishing, we were able to rent a boat from Marathon Boat Rentals (ask for Miguel, he’s awesome!) and the home had the perfect dock to secure it. There were several filet stations and a water hose for cleaning up our catch and the boat at the end of the day.
For the pool and beach, not only did the property have a beautiful and well maintained pool and spa that we spent many hours in, but with the rental came access to the Cabana Club, just up the road, and this became a highlight with another beautiful pool and private beach with lounge chairs as well as restaurant, bar and merch store.
The ladies were able to enjoy the ocean with sand between their toes and the men were able to enjoy the amazing fishing that the Keys offers. On top of that, with the rental we had access to 3 kayaks and 4 bicycles, which we enjoyed paddling around the canal and biking to Sunset beach to catch memorable sunsets on the water.
All in all, our stay was perfect. Thank you Ron and Joely!

After 14 years of wanting to plan a trip to the Keys...we finally did it and this property did not disappoint. It has it all!
The home is beautiful, clean and well stocked. It has a great layout and plenty of space for everyone. The location was great for accessing the Atlantic and Gulf as well as exploring on land. There are a variety of restaurants to grab a bite.
We cooked most of our meals at the house and were thrilled with the fully stocked kitchen.
It is very peaceful and relaxing. For the most part it was very quiet, and we could hear the birds and fish feeding just beyond the mangroves. There was nearby construction, but it did not hinder our stay. The privacy this property offers was fantastic. When not out fishing, we spent a good amount of time on the back deck, in the pool and on the back porch. Being able to dock our boat at the house was very convenient. The property also has plenty of room for boat trailer parking. The internet speed was fast, which I greatly appreciated being that I had to jump on my laptop for work a couple of times.
We would recommend this property to our family and friends. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. We saw several birds, iguanas, crabs and hermit crabs on the property. The owners were very responsive and helpful. We would definitely book this lovely home again.

We had family and friends staying at this place for lobster season, and we had a blast! The house is in a great location, it’s great to be able to park the boat right at the house. We also had a blast swimming in the pool and fishing off the dock! Highly recommend staying here

Beautiful house, very clean and spacious. Great outdoor set up with a nice pool and a dock for fishing or launching kayaks and paddle boards. Beautiful view from the screened in porch. We had a great family vacation, would’ve been more enjoyable if it wasn’t so hot but still had a great time. The owners were very responsive to to any questions/needs that we had.

We visit Marathon every summer; this was by far the best place we have stayed! There was plenty of room inside and out. There were a lot of plants and trees in the yard that provided privacy. The pool and dock are a perfect size. The house was clean and well-stocked. We had an amazing time!

This was our first time bringing our family to key west and bringing our boat. So we needed a property with many activities for the kids, dock for boat and a great location to restaurants and other activities!

Our family of four (two teenagers) had the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation at your beautiful home in Marathon. We all enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking around the canals, swimming in the pool, walking down to the beach, reading on the screened in porch and observing all of the wildlife around us. The house is located nearby so many attractions including: snorkeling, deep sea fishing, turtle hospital, the aquarium and we took a day trip to Key West. The house had everything we needed for dinners in and was a great layout for our family. Everything was very clean and accommodating. We didn't want to leave. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us. We would recommend this house to any family wanting a relaxing getaway.

Beautiful, secluded home with all you need to relax and unwind. Clean, well stocked, and peaceful. Spent most days relaxing by pool and watching iguanas enjoying the sun with us. Perfect dock for fishing. Owners suggested several restaurants in the area which were convenient and delicious. Would love to stay here again the future.

Perfect Family Getaway
The house is amazing! There is something to do for everyone while staying at the house fishing, pool, kayaking, paddle boarding, bike riding etc. Coco Plum Beach is nearby but not really a great place to go which is not the owners' fault. We went to the cabana club and Bahia state park which worked out great. The house accommodated our group of 7 ages 17 to 77 without issue and you did not feel crowded. The porch is fantastic for having early morning coffee or having a family dinner out on it. We will be going back for sure.

There is plenty of parking and space inside. The house is clean, organized, nicely laid out, as is the yard. The pool and hot tub are great--very private because of the mangroves. We saw dolphins, manatee, jellyfish, iguana, and a ton of water birds. Had a wonderful time.

This house and location were perfect. We sat on the porch everyday, enjoyed the pool and hot tub everyday, and rode bikes everyday. We cooked just about all of our meals there. Kitchen is well supplied. It's the perfect setting for a vacation in the Keys. We will come back and most likely either bring a boat or rent one. The owner was very responsive and helpful when we needed him. Excellent rental,

Home exceeded expectations. First thing to note it is spotless. Any type of water front/salt water environment in a tourist type area normally has above normal wear and tear. Not here. It is so comfortable and accommodating. You feel very comfortable without feeling you could not enjoy the surroundings due to being stuffy. The location is perfect mid-keys with access to lots of restaurants, retail, beach, walking, parks, etc. Within 10-minutes you are near everything the Keys are known for - or if you sit on the screened in porch or goof off in the pool all day you would swear you are all alone. It was just my Wife and I for semi-vacation (I always have to check-in on work) and it was very relaxing. Great internet even out to the pool (don't tell work I did many a zoom call with camera off in my swimmies in the pool). The home is well laid out if you have a medium size group with a split bedroom arrangement. Has two masters with one "upstairs" (a few half-story steps off the entrance with its own full bath), and then another king suite and double bed "down" on the main floor. There is a large bathroom off the entrance that also has full washer/dryer so don't over pack. Kitchen is not huge but efficient. Has a big outdoor grill. Best parts are the living areas both in and out. Two indoor "living areas" - one more of a TV area and one off the kitchen/dining area for sitting/games. Go right out the sliding doors to the best area - screened in porch with full sitting area (swivel chairs and couch along with a full dining area) that overlooks the pool, canals and offer incredible sunrise and sunset views. The house is situated perfectly for catching up and down of sun. Go down from the porch to the large pool and hot tub area. It is very private behind the hedges. Walk through the hedges to the full boat dock. Great for catching the boats coming in and out each day. You are about .5 mile from Coco beach which was never crowded. Its more a walking beach than white sand layout beach but still really nice. The neighborhood is very quiet and walkable. At the end of the road so no traffic. We had no issues while there. We usually went out exploring in the morning and returned after lunch to hang at the pool and finish with cocktails on the porch, in the pool or hot tub. If you follow that schedule you don't see any service people that kept the grounds and pool really clean. Can't wait to head back.

We had a vacation of memories at our a stay in Marathon. The property was just as advertised, very private, spacious house, great pool area, and lots of amenities. We especially enjoyed having the paddle boards to explore bonefish bay and watching the lobster boats pass by prepping for lobster season. If you bring your boat, there are sand bars near by and easy access to the gulf side. We also enjoyed the local wildlife, seeing manatees and being greeted by the local iguanas on the property. We will definitely consider returning in the future.

Perfect Location
We have rented several homes on Marathon Key and this is by far the best location we have found for boating oriented activities. Great dock. Direct deep-water access to the Atlantic side, maybe a five minute idle at most. House is spacious and spotless. Pool and pool deck area are quite large with great views of bonefish bay. Privacy afforded by landscaping surrounding the pool is a plus. Owners are quick and clear with communication. We will definitely be back!
