Favorite spot in Marathon
We enjoyed our second year in a row with family and friends at this amazing property. We noticed all the upgrades that were made. Especially the downstairs garage and game area. With the great weather we had, the pool was very refreshing. Having your own boat launch on the property is a huge bonus. We had no problems trailering in a 27ft Cape Horn. The dock area also made it very easy to kayak and paddleboard. Everyone was a huge fan of the outside cabana bath. The inside of the house is very open and spacious. Plenty of room for cooking and card games. The views are also spectacular. If you’re looking for perfect sunsets and total privacy this house does not disappoint. Jamie is also very gracious and attentive to any of your needs. Don’t pass this place up. Until next time Marathon. Mary Ann and Terry

Family Getaway
The property looks even more beautiful in person than the pictures portray. The location is perfect for enjoying all the keys north or south and perfect for enjoying what Marathon has to offer. The pool and hot tub were perfect and sparkling clean. The paddle boards, kayaks and games were great entertainment. The only negative was the noisy construction going on next door. Wonderful stay, highly recommend, would stay here again, no doubt.

Everything you could ever ask for in a vacation home
Our family had a great time in this house. It has everything that you could ask for. Located right on the water on the gulf side, it has great views and exceptional sunsets. The pool and hot tub are great also. The pool is heated in case you get a cool day. We fished from the dock and caught quite a few different types of fish. At night, tarpon swim under the dock lights. The house also is equipped with kayaks, paddle boards and fishing gear. It really was an outstanding experience.

Awesome Gulf View
The home is situated on a wonderful spot on the gulf and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Plenty of activities, especially enjoyed the pool table and of course the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood was quiet and with the gates driveway was very private. We enjoyed the dock for boating and watching the wildlife such as parrot fish, tarpon, lobster, crab, dolphin, horseshoe crab and many other species of fish. Absolutely wonderful with the clear water. The home is comfortable and very cozy for relaxing and the kitchen is well appointed. Highly recommend for either a couple of a family, plenty of room between the inside and the outside areas to spread out and enjoy. We will be back for sure!

Fabulous Marathon Gem
We are a busy family of 5 with college and high school age boys. We loved our week at Marathon and this house was perfect for us. We rented a boat which we docked easily at the property. The pool, the lower deck, the dock, and the patio were well used! We spent most of our time outside enjoying the gorgeous views. Our entire family was very comfortable in the home. The kitchen accommodated our needs perfectly and we were able to cook when we chose to. The location is perfect--right in the middle of Marathon with quick access to Publix as well as numerous restaurants. It was peaceful and quiet and the views at sunset are amazing. For people who want to fish, access to the gulf is obviously easy, but it is also just a short ride to the 7 mile bridge or Vaca cut to get to the Atlantic side. We will rent here again.

Fantastic getaway!
We had an amazing stay in Marathon! The house was perfect for us. The location could not be beat. We swam, kayaked, paddle boarded and fished. We tried to take advantage of all the house had to offer. We saw all kinds of wild life and felt like we were in a different world. We highly recommend!

Amazing water view!
My family of 6 vacationed here for a week. Beautiful place and amazing water view! We brought our 24ft sea hunt boat. The house had a boat ramp, very convenient and a beautiful new dock to keep our boat at. The pool and hot tub were GREAT. Very nice outside area, to hang out and enjoy the sun. I would definitely recommend this house! And we hope to be back again! Thank you again Jamie!

Amazing views and Sunsets
We had a great time relaxing in the pool and watching the amazing sunsets every night . The Kids enjoyed fishing from the pier -catching a variety of fish and using the kayaks and paddleboards. The lights on the dock at night were great and attracted alot fish also. Great location close to shopping,restaurants,food stores and local activites like snorkeling and boat trips. Would stay here again.

Perfect family vacation
Our family and friends have been coming to Marathon for years. So many times the pictures can be a bit mis leading. Well look no further. This by far was the most amazing property that we have rented. The entire house has everything that you will need. Large kitchen that is fully stocked with lots of counter space for seating. Spacious living room with views that never end. The bedrooms are all spacious with king size beds that are very comfortable and the xtra bunk room in a plus. If your family likes games the entire downstairs is perfect. We played pool and darts throughout the week. The new pool and hot tub were perfect. It feels like you’re out on an island. The private boat launch was important to us. We put in a 27ft boat with no trouble and the new dock was ideal. It Is so much easier than trying to launch at a public ramp. Last but not least, the sunsets were remarkable. We highly recommend giving this property a try. We have already booked for next year. Thanks Jamie for sharing your home with us. Mary Ann
