Awesome experience!
Property manager, Jeff was interactive prior and during our stay. He provided key details about the property which enabled us to be knowledgeable and confident in using the elevator and other features of the property. He provided referrals for dining and other local attractions that were invaluable. We especially enjoyed the the boat dock, elevator, kayaks, pool, bikes, and ice machine. We hope to return to Marathon in the future and would definitely stay at this property again.

Another fabulous week
This was our second stay and it was lovely. We thoroughly enjoy the house and location - perfect for the 11 of us that range from 10 through adults. Jeff is a gem of a home owner, a rare treat when booking homes on VRBO. House is well stocked, and the ice machine is killer! You won’t regret booking here.

Best host, best stay in Marathon
Jeff is the most attentive and nicest host we’ve ever had. We’ve been coming to the Keys for 20 years and this was the overall best rental experience. We stayed for two weeks with my four adult children and their spouses and a few toddlers. Plenty of room. Everything you could want and need, this home has it. Perfectly clean, plenty of room, upscale appliances and furniture. You will not be disappointed. Comfortable beds, plenty of starter supplies provided. Can’t say enough good things!

Fantastic Vacation in Marathon
The property was just as it was advertised. My husband and I are mobility challenged. The elevator was a wonderful help. Our group consisted of my husband and I, my daughter, son-in-law, my two grandsons (18 and 20), my cousin and her husband. We were able to spread out and everyone had their own bedrooms and baths. Also, our group included two poodles. There are great activities in the area! My daughter and grandsons were able to get in three days of diving. We enjoyed great restaurants. Everyone liked being able to shop in the stores in the area. One couple even drove down to Key West since they had never been. I enjoyed lounging around the pool. Marathon is a great place to vacation and your house is the perfect place there!

Family Keys Vacation
Our group was Nana and Pops, 2 sons with wives and children. Children ranged in age from 16 to 7. The property was just as it was described in the VRBO account. There were no surprises or disappointments. Having a pool kept the kids occupied and the dock provided opportunity for fishing and meeting a manatee. The boys also rented a fishing boat and docked it at the house. The owner, Jeff, was very helpful in providing fishing tips as well as any questions we had about the house or area. Everyone in our group was very pleased and hated to leave! To quote our 7 year old grandson: “I want to come back to this house next year!” All in all, this rental provided together time for our busy family and also provided private space for each family unit.

Our large family of 12 had a fabulous stay at this beautiful property. Perfectly located close to the beach, access to the gulf for fishing and inlets to explore. Beautiful pool area, balconies for family to spread out and had all the amenities you could need for cooking in. Jeff was an amazing host, extremely helpful and very welcoming. We will be back!

Best family vacation
The house was even better than we imagined it to be! My family and I can't wait to return next year for our annual trip. The host gave lots of recommendations on restaurants and things to do. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you would need and more! My family rented a boat and the dock was perfect not to far back into the canal, the dock had a fish cleaning station with a hose that came in so handy! We also seen manatees everyday swimming around The host also had baby gear that was very nice to use. The elevater was also very handy. My entire family loved lounging at the pool and watching the sunset from the balcony everyday. Everything was lovely and we cant wait to return!

Sombrero Beach
The property is exactly as it is in the description and photos . The excellent communication with the owner helped make our stay more enjoyable. He went over the different things in the house and best places to eat and visit. We had 8 adults and there is plenty of space for all of us to enjoy the inside and outside pool area . The beach is an easy walk away and the owner has beach chairs and a wagon to help carry the load to the beach . There is a grocery store about a mile away to get all your food choices . I would stay here again in the future .

And the host, Jeff, is the icing on the cake. He is easily reached when needed and thorough in the welcoming briefing. He offered great fishing, snorkeling; and local restaurant recommemdations. By far and away the best host of any rental we've ever stayed at. Simply a beautiful property and great host.

First trip to the Keys
Our family trip to Marathon was our first trip to the Keys! We couldn’t have chosen a better location, home for our family, or a better host. Jeff shared great information for activities, restaurants, and more, including the best times to enjoy them. The amenities at the house were fantastic including the dock, kayaks, bicycles, heated pool, and well-appointed kitchen amenities for cooking when we chose to stay in. It’s also a short walk to Sombrero beach.

Wonderful memories!
As a family of avid fishermen, this home was a perfect fit - right on the water, with a spacious dock for both of our boats (14ft skiff + 27ft center console). The home includes a bait freezer as well as ice machine, saving us time and money on top of it! Jeff was wonderful and very communicative as well! Overall, we had a great stay. 10/10.

Great Property
House was well maintained and clean. Provided privacy and ample space for everyone. We had 5 couples. Dock was large enough for our boat and two jet skis. It was very convenient to have ice, bait freezer, beach chairs, kayaks, bikes, etc. at the house. Every time I said “we should have brought something” my son found it in the garage. Jeff the property manager was very helpful and had great recommendations. We go to Marathon at least once a year and this is the first property I will book again for next year. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Mitchell

Host profile image
We love the Florida Keys and Marathon. Please come enjoy our little slice of paradise! We are very familiar with all Marathon has to offer. We can answer just about any questions you may have when it comes to restaurants, fishing, snorkeling, sand bars, attractions! If we are in town, we'd love to come meet you and show you around town or out on the water if you need some direction on navigating the water ways!

Why they chose this property

We love this property for many reasons. Proximity to Sombrero Beach and grocery stores! 10 minute idle to the Atlantic. Beautiful sunset from the home. Perfect location to watch fireworks that are occasionally shot from Sombrero Beach! When looking at properties in the keys we originally wanted a pure oceanfront or gulf front home. After several years, we realized that oceanfront and gulf front homes are constantly dealing with the Sargasso and gulf grasses that are naturally living in the Keys. These grasses gather in the fronts of these homes and decompose leaving, well, a not so pleasant smell. After much consideration we determined that a home on protected canal with views of the canal lake to be the perfect solution. No smell, no grass, protected from the wind makes the dock much more pleasant. When its windy and rough, you have boat access to many of the marinas and on the water restaurants without having to get out on the open water!

What makes this property unique

Sunset, Elevator, protected dockage, no Sargasso or grass odor, boat on windy days in sisters creek without having to get out on open water!
