Property was at the north end of Marathon so short drive to restaurants, stores, etc. The neighborhood was nice and quiet we really felt like we were the only ones there which was great. House was clean and had everything we needed in terms of kitchen appliances, working grill, plenty of towels/sheets/blankets/pillows. There was a dock that we used for boat rental and were able to keep it there overnight which was awesome. The pool area is definitely a little dated, not great water flow so it was a little stagnant and I would guess gets pretty warm in the summer (we were there in mid-May and it was already approaching 90 degrees). Our primary issue with the house/location was a very strong [and bad] smell of standing water (I assume from the marsh area just inland of the house) and the abundance of seaweed floating around the cove. We were told by the property manager there was nothing they could do to clean it up due to "town ordinances". It was so strong that we really didn't enjoy being outside much which was unfortunate since the outdoor area was one of the main reasons we chose the property in the first place. They also need to clean up all of the old chairs and junk lying around the sides of the house, pool and garage. Overall it was fine for our vacation since we were out on the boat most of the day but if you are planning to enjoy pool area during the day you are rolling the dice with that smell in the air.

Superb!!! Best-ever stay. We were so pleasantly surprised, as the pictures were okay, but the house is so much better. We kayaked, grilled, and used the pool. We explored Curry Hammock State Park by Kayak, watched sunsets, and enjoyed the refreshing dipping pool at the end of our long days. There is so much to do around, from Key West (just 40 minutes away) to explore the restaurants in Marathon; the house was wonderful, but the town is truly quaint, too.

Wow! We enjoyed this beautiful home and had everything we could possibly need. The house has more than you need and it is clean and the beds are very comfortable. All the furniture was comfortable and the outdoors are amazing. I can’t describe just how special this home feels. I would highly recommend.

This is an amazing, extraordinary and absolute beautiful house. It is not only nicely decorated, gorgeous interior and directly next to the ocean, it is also stand alone without direct neighbors. That is especially important, as almost all other houses are really directly next to each other. You can enjoy the pool, you have a stunning view from the patio, the house is equipped with everything that you need and you can just spend the time of your life. I travelled with my family only and enjoyed it very much! Absolutely recommended and we will come back for sure.
