We rented the property for a week for family vacation. I enjoyed sunrises and coffee outside while listening to the fish in the canal. We enjoyed evenings in the screened in porch. Friendly neighbors; after 10pm town is very quiet. Our dog really enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings and mornings.

Home was just as described. Location was excellent. Loved that it was at the end of canal and you could sit on the end of dock looking down canal. Neighbors were freindly. Overall a wonderful stay!

Great location for our trip. Nice sea wall for docking the boat. Good afternoon shade in the backyard for cleaning up after being out on the boat all day. Easy access to ocean side or gulf. Close to all the great restaurants of Marathon. Nice canal view from dock for evening drinks. Convenient boat ramp just a couple blocks away. Owner answered all questions in a timely manner. Would stay here again.

My family and I stayed at John’s waterfront place in Marathon. Super easy to get to by car as its right off US1. Deep water canal that comfortably fit our 25ft boat. It was about a 20min idle out to open water with restaurants, fuel docs, etc on the way. There was plenty of parking too (we fit the boat trailer, car trailer, two SUVs and a Truck)! The house was well stocked with items included in the listing, the only thing we didn’t have/couldn’t find were dishwasher tabs. That was no big deal considering publix & Walgreens were both within walking distance. Huge perk that this place is pet friendly too! The home was very comfortable and we really enjoyed our time there - especially for fishing and enjoying coffee on the dock. We even had a few manatee visits and saw tarpon rolling in the canal.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. John was very helpful and made check-in/out an easy process. The house was set up with everything we could have needed for the week and more! We were able to park our boat outback with easy access to the Gulf or Atlantic. All the neighbors we met were super welcoming. They even gave us tips for fishing or places to eat. Speaking of.. the Conch Cafe, local deli, and a few others were less than a 5min walk that we frequented during our time there. By the end of the week we knew the people at the marina, Berdines, neighbors, and the dry dock down the street. A truly wonderful vacation that felt like home.

Found this house no problem, host pretty much spell everything out. Arrived at an approaching storm so the cable/wifi went out. John was very helpful as you can't control the weather. Everything was restored later that same night.
Pictures are very accurate. Loved the screened porch the most. Made very good use of the washer/dryer after out long trip.
My husband spoke to John who was very informative about area restaurants, neighbors and our dog.
I loved the main bedrooms furniture, so antiquey!
we also spent a few HH's sitting on the outdoor patio just enjoying the water and boat traffic.
This is a great place with the fenced in yard should you be traveling with your dog as we did.
It can get a bit noisy with the industry across the street, keep that in mind, did not having any trouble sleeping tho. Dog got a bit freaked out but she is crazy anyway.
Would definitely stay here again.

Nice Place, need cleaning
Property was not clean. Bedding was full on dog hair showing bedding was washed. Ending up with Covid during stay. Not saying we got it there, but VRBO was not even basically clean at all.

Warm weather vacation
We had a great week at this rental home. It had almost everything you needed. There were iguanas, fish, and even a manatee! Only drawback is that it is close to the main road so there is some road noise, but with a white noise machine, you can drown it out. We would definitely visit again to enjoy the warm sunny weather :)

4.0
The place was clean and comfortable. However, it advertised that it sleeps 6. It doesnt. There are 2 bedrooms. One master with a queen bed. The second room has a double bed and a twin bed in it. That's only 5 people if a couple wants to share a room with a single or a kid. The couches recline but there isn't a hide a bed. There are 2 air mattresses that can be blown up if you want to sleep on the floor in the living room. The location is on an alley adjacent to many stores. Every morning at 5am a truck comes by and beeps very loudly and bangs dumpsters around or something. The positives are a nice screened in porch and a big deck to sit at right on the canal. The canal goes out into the mangroves so it makes kayaking fun. We saw manatees in the canal. The town of Marathon is nice in that it's centrally located to all the other keys. But the town itself isn't very nice. Overall I was happy with what we got for the price, with the exception of the sleeping arrangements. That was not clearly defined in the description.

The home is clean and well appointed with furniture, appliances and other amenities. It is centrally located in Marathon providing easy access to stores, beaches, parks and restaurants. It is just a block off Hwy 1 and right in the middle of the stretch between Key Largo and Key West. The owner provided very thorough check-in/check-out instructions as well as helpful notes about the property and area attractions. We felt very much at home here.

This place was everything that was advertised. The host was very accommodating and went out of his way to make sure our stay was great. The yard was fenced in and secured for our dogs and the house was easily accessible by boat. There is a private boat ramp three or four blocks away where you can launch your boat for a fee. There was plenty of parking for the trailer. We would stay there again!!
