Fantastic stay. The property is about 300 feet from Sombero Beach, but far enough down the site street that it's private. Beautiful outdoors and back yard, with a deck running the length of the main floor, and balconies in two of the upstairs berooms overlooking the back yard, pool and dock. Very clean, very well maintained - REALLY nice kitchen appliances. There was plenty of room and everything was clean and well stocked. The neighborhood is about 2 miles off US-1 and houses are very well maintained and landscaped, but you're close enough to the highway that a Publix, Winn-Dixie, CVS, and other stores are less than 5 minutes away. We enjoyed walking out to dock every day. We rented kayaks and paddleboards and the kids (teens) enjoyed kayaking from the dock around to Sister Creek and Boot Key. The dock is 3-4 feet above the water line, the kids were nimble enough to climb down the ladder and sit into the kayak. Marathon Key is a great spot to be in the central Keys, everything is about an hour away in either direction. We went to Key West, visited the Turtle Hospital, went snorkeling, Bahai Honda state park, and lots of spots on Marathon. Owner Andy was super responsive, answering questions and ensuring a good experience. Great stay, definitely coming back!

we enjoyed our stay in Marathon at this property. it is a nice layout with plenty of room and is especially well located with a short one block walk to Sombrero Beach. the owner was very easy to communicate with and was very cooperative and attentive to requests. the home is starting to show some age, however, and could use a bit more maintenance and some updating at this price point.

This is a beautiful property in an ideal location. The property manager was available and responsive. The pool was perfect for the age group we had with us; the accessibility to the canal was a plus, especially when a manatee visited us, and the beach was close and beautiful. Our family had a wonderful time.

This property was well cared for, well furnished, well equipped and spacious. The pool area is a nice addition although I wish the hot tub had gotten hotter. Fantastic location a short walk to Sombrero Beach for fabulous sunsets. Love the coral decks and multistory East and West facing balconies. Well located near grocery stores and local activities such as manatee kayaking and the Sea Turtle Hospital. Highly recommend.

What an exceptional property! Everything you need is at the home. Three houses from Sombrero Beach. One of our favorite activities was having morning coffee on the back veranda overlooking the channel and watching the morning Iguanas coming out to sun themselves! When we contacted Andy for a couple of requests - he responded immediately. Hope to be back next year!

The property is very nice.
We did have a problem with the kitchen freezer not freezing
The property manager was very responsive to my texts on any issues. It would be nice to have a instruction sheet on hot tub operation. The hot water system for showers needs to be looked at as the shower will go from cold to hot with very little control

We stayed for 2 weeks for my wife’s 50th Birthday. Her parents, brother and 2 of our kids came as well. The house and location were perfect! Easy access to Sombrero Beach but far enough off the road to be quiet. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all and even caught some fish off the dock. Enjoyed the walking and bike path to Publix. We had a small issue with the refrigerator and contacted the owner. He responded within 5 minutes and fixed the issue. It was a perfect vacation and probably the nicest house we have stayed in! Very quiet and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Having the elevator was very helpful getting the luggage as well for my in laws. I would highly recommend this property for others.

Property worked out well for our needs as a family destination. 6 Adults and 4 Children enjoyed our time. Great location right near the beach which also had a playground. The pool at the house came in handy when we didn’t want to bring the kids and all the stuff to the beach. Would highly recommend, just know that there are lots of stairs so if you have little ones, you will need to keep an eye on them.

This could be a 5-star property if thoroughly inspected and adequately maintained. At check-in we found dirty bathrooms, non-working kitchen appliances and trash throughout the property. The owner was indeed responsive, but we shouldn’t have had to contact him so often.
The interior is as pictured. Beware of loose fixtures throughout the house. We did enjoy the pool and balcony areas, and the dock was extremely convenient. This is a nice house with good potential. It would benefit from proper management.

Can’t beat the location of this house! Steps from the beautiful Sombrero beach (beach chairs and toys included with the rental), boat dock and channel for fishing (we even saw 2 manatees during our week stay), fantastic restaurants, and proximity to other parts of the Florida keys (day trips to key west, islamarado, etc). We enjoyed the spacious pool and jacuzzi every day, as well as morning coffee to watch the sunrise and evening cocktails for the sunset on the large decks. We had a couple of maintenance issues with the house (Vrbo pictures are accurate), but the owner was extremely responsive and any issues were fixed quickly. Our family of 5 (2 teens and an 8 yo) and a few guests had plenty of room to spread out, the elevator was a bonus for all of our luggage in/out. FYI for future renters: We rented kayaks, but the property did not have a ladder to access them. We had to take them out off the bay/beach instead.

First, communication with the owner was fantastic; immediate and concise. He was very available and helpful. The location of this home is perfect, close to everything. 2 minute walk to the beach and a 4 minute drive to grocery stores. The large kitchen is well appointed with everything you need for any kind of cooking. The separate ice machine was a huge bonus! The beds were comfortable and the bedding inviting. Plenty of towels and beach towels are provided. The pool area is amazing with lounge chairs for all. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi tremendously. The jacuzzi heated up quickly. There are some pool toys, and we left a few more for future guests to enjoy. We had a pontoon boat for the week docked right out back. A manatee came to visit us at the dock too! Exploring the area from the water was an added luxury. We would certainly stay here again. :)
