WOW and INCREDIBLE are the best words to describe this entire experience.
The location of the home is 2nd to none, the privacy, setting, and overall welcoming feel made us right at home immediately.
Plenty of space for 2 families and our dogs, the screened in patio allowed us to enjoy the whole week outside without any bug interruption.
Loved the added TV outside to watch poolside movies and listen to music, the kids (9,9 and 16) loved the dock space to fish and just enjoy the outdoor life without electronics.
We couldn't be happier with our choice and look forward to booking again for 2024.
Only 1 request would be to send the code maybe a little sooner than 4pm exactly, but that's only because our trip got us to the home by about 330pm.
Other than that, the home was clean, bright, airy, and completed with STUNNING views and setting.
Thank you again for welcoming us, it was our pleasure.

This wonderful property worked so well for our families to get together for Christmas. We rented a boat for part of our stay and the dock and fish-cleaning table worked so well for the fishermen in the family. We all enjoyed the pool and beautiful outdoor space. We cooked and enjoyed some great meals while here. The Fishbowl is a great place to stay! Any minor issues we had (dishwasher) were addressed immediately by Island Breeze Realty. 5 stars all around!

We had a great experience renting this property. The layout of the house worked perfectly for our family with the separate bedroom/bathroom/living room/wet bar that was added on the side of the house. The outdoor living space and pool area were like no other. We were able to control the temperatures of the pool and hot tub easily which was really important to us. Overall the house was really great, especially the outdoor living area (where we spent most of our time) and the location was convenient for walks to Sombrero Beach and day trips to Key West and Islamorada. Any questions we had prior to and during our stay were promptly answered and it was evident our satisfaction was important. We would definitely recommend booking this property and hope to stay there again in the future.

The Fishbowl was perfect for our annual family vacation of 10 adults and 2 children. It was located in a very nice residential neighborhood. The house had a very open floor plan that made it easy to spread out but still be together. We spent the majority of our time on the screened in back porch/pool. We used the fire pit and grill a couple nights and played games in the yard. We used the pool and hot tub everyday. We rented a 25' pontoon from Marathon Pontoon Rentals and our son had his 18' boat and their was plenty of room on the dock. We loved that it was so close to Sombrero Beach as well as the grocery store and other activities in Marathon. Everyone agreed that we would like to return next summer.

We had an amazing time! Great layout, homeowner has done a great job of providing all the vacation essentials. Home is warm and inviting, easy access, etc. Only negative we can share is in 3 rooms the beds were way too firm and we used air mattresses.

Stayed for 6 days here with a group of 12. 5 kids and 7 adults. The pool and patio area is the best! Made fires every night and roasted s’mores. More than enough room and fun for everyone! Having our boat out back made it even easier to enjoy our time. Plan to come back next year!

We wanted a rental house in the keys that we could have a boat onsite for the week. This place is perfect for that. Relatively close to open water and the dock is protected from the prevailing winds. We rented a 25' center console from Vacation Boat Rentals nearby and it worked great. We were able to head out to snorkel, fish and cruise right from our dock.The other primary selling feature of this home is the outdoor living. We watched movies outside each evening and had meals on the screened porch.The only drawback for me was the "rental" feel of the home. It was all un personal, the dishes, silverware, pans etc. were all cheap and miss-matched. Everything was sufficient but clearly the cheapest option available. This house does the big things extremely well. Location, layout, outdoor living, and dock are awesome. The little things such as furnishing could be better, but all in all, I would stay here again.

This was our third trip to this home. We love the privacy and the short walk to white sandy beaches. Nice open floor plan, great gathering spaces outside, headed pool and hot tub and it accommodates a family of 9 easily.

The layout of the house was perfect as well as walking distant to the beach & park. Enjoyed seating w/the family on the covered porch while the kids played in the pool & hot tub. The boys enjoyed fishing from the dock. We didn't have to worry about the puppies in the backyard since it was fully fenced in. The one & only area for improvement is the mattresses on the beds need to be replaced, especially the KING...it actually has a hump in the middle. I would suggest having 3 kings 2 queens that are medium firm.We ABSOLUTELY would book this house again!!!

The location of the house was great. It was a great set up with a great pool. Easy check in and promise. My 1 complaint is that the house has a lot of repairs that should be done. Paint, drywall, and some other repairs. We don't care as much as some but it would have been nicer if it was fixed up better.
