About this property

Gorgeous house, GUARANTEED to beat any price for a 3BR in Marathon

Three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in open concept with everything you need in the heart of the Keys. Ample parking spaces and well manicured property greet you as you pull up. Home includes 500 pound ice maker for those who love to fish or want to keep cool in the heat, pole holders on the dock for your evening catch, and a second story deck with amazing sunsets.

For fishing; a 10 minute ride through the famed Sisters Creek to the open ocean, 15 minute to the seven mile bridge, six NM to Sombrero Reef.

Chaise lounge chairs on the full length back deck for catching rays and a gazebo to give you shade while you catch the breezes that float through Marathon. Sombrero Beach, one of the best in the Keys, is a ten minute walk away. See the sun rise beyond the kitchen window and front deck. This home can accommodate 2 families, or up to 4 couples for a week long getaway that is just over an hour to Key West or Key Largo. One mile to Publix and Winn Dixie for all your grocery needs. Large eat in kitchen has seating for 6 at the bar/counter with open view to dining room table and living room.

Your choice of king bed in the master, queen bed, double bunk beds, and queen fold old out couch provide all you need for your party of 8. If soaking in the ocean did not relax you enough your bathroom contains a soaker tub perfectly lit by evening light in the window as well as bidet , double sink, and plenty of storage as well.

Great location for day trips throughout the Keys

Nice place. Clean and comfortable. Great having the dock to fish (even without a boat). Ice machine was a huge plus for packing a beach cooler.

Great

We would love to stay again. We had a couple of hiccups at the start which were taken care of right away. Convenient to town. Quite. Affordable. Someone mentioned before the long canal ride out. There are two ways out. One to get gas which takes a bit. One straight to the Ocean that takes no time. Ice machine on the property. Excellent.

Amazing Stay, Awesome Property!

We are two boating/diving/fishing families and this is our 9th year staying in Marathon, but first time at this property. Our stay was for 2 weeks. It’s spacious enough for two families (with 4 teens) without having wasted space. The home is well stocked, clean, and maintained. The, ice maker, parking space, and location is excellent! Plenty of room for all of our dive/fishing gear, kayaks, and paddleboards. The proximity to Sombrero beach, Sombrero Lighthouse, 7 mile bridge and reefs for diving is so convenient! Communication with the owner is also a plus! He was super helpful and responsive. Definitely a great stay and highly recommend this place!

great property and Harvey was great to work with

The house is great with an open floor plan and a bunk bed room perfect for kids. The ice machine was a savior as well as the bait freezer. A floating dock would of been nice for the boat but the ladder worked well enough. The fish cleaning table was amazing. Throughout the process Harvey was easy to contact and very helpfull. Will be staying again.

Great week

My girlfriend & I as well as a few other couples stayed for mini lobster season. It was a great clean house, everything seemed to work as it should. Harvey was very helpful with everything and answered any questions quick. We had 2 boats which fit on the dock, it was tight but we got it. Overall a great choice for a rental.

Amazing house

This house is exactly like the pictures show. Amazing huge second floor outside deck with covered seating and table to enjoy relaxing. We had the whole place to ourselves there are no other units attached the entire house and huge dock out back was ours. We fished right from back canal. You can bring your boat and dock it right behind the house. We had a great time and would definately recomend renting this home. Amazing home in an excellent location.

Sun and relaxation

Property was nice, but needed some things fixed. Ceiling fan switch in guest room was broke and the fridge needed a deep clean. Front door knob and lock needs to be replaces, I locked myself out and was able to slide a credit card in the lock to get back in the house. Great location, very close to everything.

Fantastic Stay with Plenty of Entertaining Options

We loved our stay at Rock Resort. The house is clean and came with a fully equipped kitchen. The back deck is amazing, and the property is in excellent condition. We fished, kayaked, and walked down to the beach almost every day. This place is a moderate walk down to Sombrero Beach, which was huge benefit to us. The check in process was very easy and Harvey Rock was easy to work with as our contact for the house. We would certainly come back in the future.

Super clean house in an excellent location

We stayed in this house for one week in July 2020, and we had an excellent vacation. The house was super clean from the moment we stepped in, as opposed to many other rentals that we stayed in recently, and Harvey provided all the relevant information ahead of our arrival, and also during our stay. The house has a good layout with high quality furnishings and everything you might need during your stay, and the location is excellent, in a very nice residential area, 5 minutes from Sombrero Beach, on a nice canal, and very close to a large shopping center with Publix, Kmart, Walgreens, and many other stores and restaurants. Marathon is also an excellent choice for exploring everything that Florida Keys has to offer, from Key West to Islamorada. Thank you Harvey and hope to be back someday!

About the host

Hosted by Harvey Rock

Host profile image
Raised in the midwest with summers spent on the lake fishing, swimming, and diving. Two summers ago I was introduced to the Florida Keys and absolutely fell in love. Retired from the military and working my way up to PADI Dive Master so that I can help others experience what I fell in love with 25 years ago.

Why they chose this property

Light, airy and open with colors of the sea, conveniently located in the middle of everything. This property was purchased site unseen (only by internet photos) and it was love at first site.

What makes this property unique

As most know the area can get quite warm, especially in summer. Living on the second floor allows you to capture the breeze from the Atlantic Ocean. Ice is a necessity for both fishing and cooling down, so we provide a 500 lb ice maker to cover all needs of our guests. Short boat ride to either Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico for fishing or water activities, 10 minute walk to Sombrero Beach. One can find anything in a 20 minute walk or 10 minute car ride in this area. Sun rises just past the front patio on the Atlantic side, and sun sets within view on the Gulf side of the property. Sombrero Beach is one of the top beaches in the Keys.
