About this property

From the moment that you arrive you will be swept away by the views this house offers. Perfect for a family, or friends traveling together - this house is your home away from home. It is expertly decorated to allow you and your family to relax and enjoy the sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. The private 120ft. dock will allow you to explore the ocean as you please. The area is great for fishing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking. When you are not busy exploring the ocean you can relax in the private pool. Marathon is just a short 50 mile drive from the heart of Key West.

This is a sister house to the house next door, Listing #770357. The difference in the two is that the #770357 listing has 2 1/2 baths, sleeps 6, and has a 60ft. dock, and rents Saturday to Saturday. We use the same housekeeper for both houses and she can only prepare one in the window of time from check out to check in, therefore, this listing rents Sunday to Sunday and listing #770357 rents Saturday to Saturday.

5 star location and 5 star host

My wife and I stayed here for the month of February. The house and it’s location are top notch. What should be highlighted are the amazing views of Atlantic Ocean from the front of house. We woke up early most mornings to watch the amazing sunrises and watch all the ocean birds. This home has lots of room for your boat and it’s got a very nice pool. Steve was super responsive to any questions or requests. We highly recommend staying at this house!!!

Awesome Spot in The Keys

We had eight nights here in January after seeing in the new year in Miami. It’s a beautiful place, the hosts are really helpful and communicative, the property is lovely and we had a really great time there! The front of the house has superb views, open to the sea, with pelicans diving into the water. My favourite spot was a bench at the front, sheltered from the breeze with a cup of coffee catching up on a few e-mails etc. The inside of the house is is very spacious, plenty of seating, including the lovely sun room at the front. The hosts made sure the property was well stocked with towels, linen etc and plenty of helpful information. There are lots of good restaurants in Marathon, most probably involve a drive but they are worth it and the local seafood is predictably excellent! Plaza Grill was also a particular favourite! Even when the temperatures dropped at the end of the holiday, there were some good sheltered spots around the pool to enjoy the sunshine. All in all a lovely trip and a property I would definitely recommend. Many thanks to the hosts Steve and Janet for a really lovely break!

Incredible Rental

Our stay at Sombrero Sunset was everything you could ask for. Great location a few blocks off the main highway in Marathon so easy access to not only all the great things in Marathon, but an easy drive south to Key West, and north to Islamorada. Marathon is the perfect location to explore the entire Keys. The property is amazing. In the back is a canal and this property has over 100 feet of docking space for a boat or your private fishing grounds. There were always Mangrove Snapper, Barracuda, Lady fish, Jack Crevalle, grunts and even some snook cruising around. High tide its about 8 feet deep, low about 6 feet. Plenty of chairs, lounge chairs and a patio table with a patio door right into the dining area. Also a gas grill. The pool was a very comfy temp and easy access to get in. In general, the grounds are spotless. Inside, spotless as well. Everything is perfect. Two nice showers, one tub. A large living room, formal dining room, casual dining room off the kitchen, and a great kitchen that is fully stocked. The bedrooms are huge. Beds were great. Nothing in this rental is old or neglected. Having a nice washer and dryer is so handy. They even have a fish and bait freezer in the laundry room. The front of the property is a bay where you will see amazing sun rises. You can fish there too. Its a grass flat bay that attracts a lot of bait along with Jacks, Cuda, snook and some juvenile Tarpon. Bring fishing tackle! This place is amazing!

Absolute MUST for a perfect Keys Experience!

This home was amazing! It was incredibly clean. Beds were super comfy, kitchen was fully stocked for us and so were the bathrooms. The pool was super clean and so much fun. This location is absolutely perfect. You are very secluded in many ways from others and at the end of the inlet. At night, you will not be disappointed in viewing all the stars and just the perfect views all around. There were 4 adults and we hated to leave it. I cannot encourage you enough to stay here. It is centrally located in Marathon too. We played up and down the Keys and this was so easy to access with it being so central. Thank you for having such a wonderful place to be. We will be back for sure!!! Only suggestion...yoga mats!! :) I could not find one on the entire Key. Amazing spot for yoga in the early am. Sun comes right up on you. WONDERFUL!!!

I Didn't Want To Leave This Review

This property (and the managers/owners) was so amazing that I didn't want to leave this review because I want the property to be available for us next time we plan a trip to the Florida Keys, but we can't stop talking about how great this property really is. First, it's right on the ocean, has its own private dock for our boat, a private swimming pool, and a large lot to park our boat trailer. The managers/owners are meticulously organized and everything we needed for a pleasant stay was available to us. The beds were comfortable and the full size kitchen had everything we needed to cook most of our food right there. I could go on and on about how great this made our trip, but when we plan to return next year we are (selfishly) hoping that this unknown secret doesn't get "too" exposed as we want to keep using this as our own little slice of paradise every year. Well worth what we paid and are egar to return.

Keys family vacation

My husband & I with our 2 young adult children (ages 19 & 23) absolutely loved your property! It was even more beautiful than the pictures. The views from inside & out were fantastic It was extremely clean & had everything we could need. The beds were super comfortable. The master bedroom could use some darkening shades. The lights from the pool & dock did shine through but not a huge deal. We're just used to a very dark bedroom. Only slight complaint we had was that on checkout day we already had the car packed & left about 10 minutes prior to checkout time to find the housekeeper waiting in the driveway for us to leave. She wasn't intrusive & I understand she had a job to do so it wasn't a huge deal but just a bit awkward. We've been vacationing in the Keys for several years & usually stay at a different place each time. We loved your home so much we will definitely stay again for our next trip!

Old Florida

We had a great trip! Enjoyed our stay very much. Location was nice. Beautiful views. All the necessities needed were available to us. Home was clean and comfortable. The dock behind the house was utilized with our boat and we caught some little fish from the back porch. We didn’t catch any fish because the seas were too rough but nothing to do with the property! Lovely stay, would book again!

Paradise in the Keys

With the sunrise and sunset at the same location and being at the end of the street making it so private, made this home the best rental of all the VRBO's I have been at. There were plenty of wildlife including birds, manatees in the sea channel in the back, and catching fish off the shore all around the house. The home was well equipped and very comfortable, and the location was excellent for visiting other Key attractions. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting the Keys and will rent again when I return!

I Didn't Think It Was Fair Not To Share

I've been using VRBO for quite some time and I swear at each property I stay it seems to be getting better and better. This was a fishing trip for 4 friends and included bringing our own boat, so the private slip was just icing on the cake. The property is located at the end of the road so literally there was no traffic of any kind. The private pool was clean and surprisingly warm. The house was set up perfectly for our needs and came with 2 refrigerators and a deep freezer. One refrigerator seemed like it was filled with unopened leftovers from previous guests (like canned beer and drinks), and the deep freezer had cut bait, chum, and other fish related items. The primary refrigerator was empty and ready for our shopping. With the provided kitchen ware, we were able to cook breakfast every morning and dinner for every night except one (when we went out to eat). The price was reasonable for the accommodations and the communication from the owners/property management was the best I've experienced on VRBO so far. I (selfishly) didn't want to write a good review because you're not supposed to tell everyone about one of the best kept secrets in the Keys, but I'll just keep booking here and hoping my dates are available as I want this place to be around for many more years to come.
