Great Property in Marathon

The location of this place couldn't be better; close to the beach, grocery stores, fish markets, and great local restaurants. The rental was clean and well appointed. There were bedrooms for everyone and the common area had room for all. Jeff and Amber did a great job of checking us in, answering questions, providing restaurant recommendations, information about activities, etc. The garage was full of things to use such as bikes, beach chairs, wagon to take it all to the beach, coolers, and a great ice machine!! There is also a pile of beach towels available to use. Overall, we would recommend this place, and plan to stay here on our next trip to Marathon!!

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.

Family Spring break Trip

This house could not of been any better for our family. We had 8 adults and 4 kids under 8. It is beautiful and really set up for family time and also private time. We had a couple with2 children in the 1st level master. It had a king and queen fold out sofa and kitchen. The second floor bedroom was used by a couple and the 3rd floor was for another couple and there 2kids and then my husband and I in the 2nd master. The elevator in the house was awesome and made it easy to bring things in and out and to transfer between floors. The kitchen was well equipped with top notch appliances. The house is only a 10 minute walk to Sombrero beach and the pool is just great. The house is equipped with lots of beach chairs, towels and 2kayaks for the canal area off the pool. The house and area were very quiet. It is very convenient location to stores and restaurants. Jeff was an awesome host. He was so helpful with giving us suggestions on places to go and restaurants since we were very unfamiliar with the area. Any question we had on our stay were answered very quickly. Marathon was a great place to visit with lots to do and beautiful beaches and weather.

Fabulous water front home

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!

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.

We're an adult family of 9 that spend a week in the Keys every year for the past 30 years. We've rented many houses and this is one of our favorites. The ice machine, deep freezer and wheelbarrow make loading and unloading the boat a breeze.

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!
