About this house rental

Located in Marathon, this lovely house for $390 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. If you’re looking for larger accommodations, please view our home across the street, VRBO # 2413494! Enjoy total privacy, including no contact self check-in, at this immaculate canal front home. Come relax and enjoy the convenience, seclusion, and comfort of our canal front, one level, "Twin Dolphin" home in the heart of the Florida Keys and Marathon, Florida at Mile Marker 48.5! With no neighbors on either side of the home, this is the ideal spot for personal space at our 100 foot wide lot in the middle of the Keys! The mangrove trails of Boot Key are only a 10 minute paddle from the backyard in the 2 provided kayaks. Twin Dolphin is situated on a wide, deep water, canal less than 200 yards from Boot Key Harbour, home to the ever popular Burdines and Chiki Tiki Grill. With plenty of dockage for your boat (up to 40') and space at the house to park your boat trailer, and just around the corner by water from the beginning of the famous Seven Mile Bridge, this is truly a vacationer’s paradise. Sombrero Reef, with its crystal clear water, is a snorklers and divers delight which can be reached in a very short boat ride from Twin Dolphin! Bring your own boat, rent one here or charter a fishing or dive/snorkel trip. The options are truly endless! Beautiful Sombrero Beach is just a kayak paddle away through Boot Key Harbor in one of the 2 provided kayaks. Closer to home, in the canal front backyard you can clean your day's catch waterside at our fish cleaning station, wash away the heat and salt of the day in our private outdoor shower and settle in for some relaxation or swimming in our 16' heated (or not!), jetted swimming pool spa. The shade of the tiki hut is a perfect setting to enjoy your morning coffee, your nightcap, and everything in between! And of course, the waterside hammock under the coconut palms is the ideal location for those much needed siestas! For the more energetic, you can drop the provided kayaks in the water and explore Boot Key and the surrounding canals. You're likely to see Manatee, Dolphin and a wide range of fish and other wildlife! Indoors, you'll find Twin Dolphin very accommodating for your vacation needs and comfort. The amply supplied kitchen provides everything you should require for preparing the simplest to the extravagant meal. With granite countertops and plenty of workspace, looking out to the beautiful patio and beyond to the water should make "kitchen duty" a breeze! The Twin Dolphin dining table seats 6 in our cheerful sun/dining room; however, most opt for meals under the TikiHut. The living area is perfect for air conditioned relaxation while enjoying your favorite shows or sporting events on the new 60" television with DISH TV programming and internet capability. The 2 bedrooms feature queen size beds, plenty of closet and drawer space, and one is equipped with an internet capable television with DISH TV and a built in DVD player. The full bathroom has a tub/shower combination. There is also a comfy new queen size sleeper sofa in the living area for additional sleep space. The washer and dryer allow you to pack less and return home with clean clothes! The bait freezer is for your use during your stay as well. And rest assured, the home has central air conditioning for reprieve from your tropical vacation! Located at Mile Marker 48.5, on a quiet residential street directly off of Highway One (The Overseas Highway), we're in the perfect spot for walking or bicycling as we're less than a mile from Publix, West Marine, the 33rd Street Public Boat Ramp, Walgreens, Home Depot, and a large variety of restaurants, including ocean front grills and bars! Twin Dolphin truly couldn't be in a more convenient location by land or water. Come explore the Florida Keys at your home away from home, Twin Dolphin! Please note, our home is a well constructed single family home with a yard and trees! Be sure to do your homework as many listings are modular/mobile homes situated on concrete slabs with no yard and the next mobile home just an arms length away. There will be no unpleasant surprises if you decide to vacation at Twin Dolphin!

This was our first time renting a property to stay instead of a hotel. I’m so glad we did! Kathy was so amazing! She is prompt with any questions I had (and I had many!). The property was very clean and just as advertised. The swim spa was utilized every night. It is in a wonderful location next to the canal and around all types of activities and stores. You can’t go wrong booking with Kathy and the properties she has. She also has a beautiful home right across the street (so if a couple of families are going that would be perfect!). Would definitely book another stay. The only downside is I’m now back in Pa where it is cold. Thanks again for an amazing time.

We highly recommend this property. It was seriously the cleanest rental we've ever stayed in. We appreciated the very responsive and clear communications from the host - everything was completely seamless. Such a great, comfortable, well equipped home. The hot tub and tiki hut are fantastic! We also loved the kayaks and extra nice touches such as beach supplies (chairs, towels and bag), ample charging stations for devices, etc. We didn't bring our boat this time, but definitely plan to return and will likely bring a boat! Can't say enough about this terrific home.

Property was just as listed and Kathy was great even though we had no issues. My wife and I enjoyed every minute on our honeymoon. We brought our 19' center console boat and it had plenty of room at the dock. It was nice being able to walk out and hit the water. This house and their other property is the closest to the 33rd st public boat ramp we found and easy to navigate. Also a short boat ride to Burdines and Dockside Bar on the water. House had all amenities needed for our stay and i did read in the signing book that a renter needed a kettle and kathy bought one to provide for the guests. Swimspa was great to have especially at night to relax. Tiki hut is where we stayed mostly while eating and snacking and watching the fish and manatees come by as well as the hammock. We got out on the kayaks provided also. Plently of restaurants close by and they have a book of all menu's and suggestions that dies not disappoint. Steak and Lobster house, Keys Fishery, Key Colony Inn, Burdines, and Sunset Grille are all amazing and close by. The house is also right in the middle of keys so Islamorada and Key West are about 1 hr each way to venture off for a day trip which we did. Overall we will definitely be back and have family and friends asking about our trip and where we stayed. If you stay here you will not be disappointed.

I get super sea sick so fishing charters are out for me. If you love to fish this is about perfect. Sit out back and fish all you want. Its a football field length away from the open water. Also the location is super close to 7 mile bridge which is best place to see sunrise/sunsets, Pigeon Key etc. Also close to Burdines and Castaways ,my 2 fav restaurants on the island. Kathy is super organized and easy to reach and thought of everything anyway so the home was clean welcoming and nicely decorated. We enjoyed ourselved, it was our 20th Anniversary trip but we will be back! Thanks Kathy!

My family and I stayed one week at this property and we had an amazing vacation, we are from central Wisconsin and we love visiting the keys any chance we can. The property was very nice and clean, this property also had fun relaxing features as well as a nice place to stay. The property is right on the canal and has a very large hot tub to use witch was very relaxing, also a lot of nice sand between the canal and house witch allowed our little boy a nice play area. Also you could fish on the canal if you would like to. Overall a very nice property and my family and I had a great vacation!

I booked this not knowing the area at all. I saw the photos of the house and immediately knew this was going to be the perfect get away spot. I traveled from Jupiter Florida and had been to the keys before, but not in Marathon area. THe house was in wonderful shape, well equipped and clean. I appreciated the detailed communication provided between myself and the owner, very prompt and answered all of my questions quickly. Toward the end of my stay, I was having so much fun, I asked to extend a day and my request was quickly honored. I was greeted every morning with a peaceful sunrise as I sat under the tiki umbrella...a really nice touch to add to the YOU ARE ON VACATION vibe! Marathon has some wonderful little nature spots to explore and we used the place as home base to chill after our day's adventures. We didn't even get to use the kayaks, beach chairs, fish cleaning station or bulkhead, but we did get to use the grill, hammock, lounge chairs on the private beach, outdoor Tiki table and the amazing multi person jacuzzi! We thoroughly appreciated this place and would definitely consider re-booking!
