A pristine property, with fabulous views of the bay from virtually every room. Several of the group enjoyed the provided kayaks, and we all loved the pool. Close to great restaurants and Keys attractions

Amazing home!

Our family of 6 enjoyed this home very much. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds, and a well stocked home! The outside pool/spa were great, plenty of lounging chairs, space to eat outside. The kayaks were so fun for us to be able to use. The house had supplies for us to go to the beach (chairs, umbrella, even a cooler!). We loved everything about our stay and appreciate the easy communication with the property manager. We would definitely look into this house again in the future!

Oh the View! The Water View!

We were very happy with our decision to stay here at Gulf Breezes, particular during the busy spring break, week before Easter timeframe. Being directly on the open water and not on a canal was simply, amazing. The view was incredible and highly visible through the main kitchen, dining and living areas so it truly felt you were always on the water. We spent 90% of our time on the back patio and pool area because it was gorgeous, offered sun or shade with a lovely breeze, and was so comfortable. It also felt private and set away from the business despite only being 3 blocks from the Overseas Highway. Plenty of room for a family of 5 with 3 teenagers between 3 bedrooms and 2 baths! The house was exceptionally well equipped for a rental with every kitchen appliance and tool (even a waffle maker & blender!) to pool & beach toys, towels, kayaks, beach chairs, & umbrellas being provided for guest use. Even fishing poles & bait in the garage freezer! We had plenty of spices and cooking basics too to fill in the gaps as who needs to buy enter bottles of vegetable oil for one week? We didn’t have to. Laundry detergent was also available. It felt like nearly everything was thought of in advance. Note that the home has only 2 bathrooms - the listing shows as 2.5 but the half is only the outdoor rinse off shower on the side of the house. We would absolutely 100% rent this house again - do it! You won’t regret the cost or choice, especially for a family visiting the Florida Keys.

February vacs

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views from this property was outstanding. The house layout works well for 2 couples as the bedrooms are separated by the living area. The house was clean and well stocked. The area was quiet and private. The only area for improvement would be the outside of the property. Since the property is located on the bay there is trash in the water and the kayak launch area. I would suggest property management could have it picked up prior to guest arrival. While we were there we did daily pickup with the kayak only a few pieces each day. This would not be a game changer for a return visit in the future.

Piece of Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From beginning to end our vacation experience was wonderful. The rental location was incredible, and pictures of the home and property are accurate. Beautiful view from early morning thru sunset. The pool and hot tub made it our own private resort. The home was clean and kitchen was well equipped for cooking (walkable to Frank's Grill if you don't want to cook - delicious and friendly service). Quiet location especially at night (there is an airport close by so planes, jets and helicopters are active during the day). Keys Ocean Vacation Rentals was great in communicating and answering any concerns or questions. So much to see and do in Marathon! Loved our private oasis and would stay here again.

This home far exceeded our expectations

While the online photos of Gulf Breezes are lovely, they simply do not capture the extraordinary location of this property. Nearly all of the rooms in the house boast expansive Gulf views; you enjoy complete privacy with no neighbors in sight; the kayak launch and on-site kayaks are easy to access for a lovely early evening outing or morning fishing trip; wildlife abounds in the bay and on the deck, etc. In addition, the house decor is lovely and the managers ensure that you arrive at a spotless home and have everything you need in the kitchen to enjoy many meals and good times while basking on the deck. The salt water pool is a daily must as well. This home is not to be missed; and it is conveniently located to every thing the Keys have to offer. As a final note, the property managers, Mallory Pinto and her staff, are incredible. For instance, we could not get the hot tub warmed up and she came over right away to re-boot it. That is just one small example of how attentive the local caretakers are. This was our first visit to the Keys. We plan to make it an annual trek, hopefully staying at Gulf Breezes.

Amazing home and pool

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience in this rental. The house was very clean and well stocked when we arrived. Large containers of hand soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided. The pool is the highlight of this property. The view can't be beat. The pool has a large ledge, so it's perfect for small children to splash.Make sure to read the material provided by management, esp. the quirks of the house. We overlooked that the guest bath is plumbed backwards, so we thought it wasn't getting hot water. We contacted the property manager to let them know of a few minor issues, and they were very responsive.I would rent this house again without hesitation.

Incredible Location and View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our time in this home. Comfortable, relaxing and cool. The home is very well appointed. Nice large kitchen with all the cooking implements anyone could need/use. TVs/Ceiling fans in every bedroom. Provided kayaks, bikes, beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas & towels). The gulf view is pristine and relaxing and quiet. The house and lot are very private. Beautiful and clean pool and hot tub. Outdoor furniture is brand new and well thought out and comfortable. The sea grass smell was not an issue for us, we smelled it a few times, but it eventually dissipated and went away, it was not a hinderance or problem for 's nature. There was quite a buildup of dried sea grass in the boat ramp that we maneuvered around to kayak, that could be addressed. Overall, a very nice property and house that we feel fortunate to have found and were able to rent. We want to recognize and thank Mallory and her team at Keys Ocean Vacation Rentals for their quick responses, actions and excellent customer service.
