No need to leave this 3-level, 5 bedrooms/ 5-bathroom home, exquisitely built and meticulously designed. It is located just a 2-minute walk down the street to the beach and has direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. From the moment you drive down the street…curbside appeal, A+ 100!!! Has convenient under roof parking, while surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. On the first floor, a luxurious double bedroom suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet provides guests with the privacy they may need. Just a step outside an oasis of fun awaits with a pristine pool (heated optional), infinity edge hot tub that displays an enchanting illumination glow by night, a summer kitchen with plenty of dining and seating area throughout, in addition to a variety of outdoor games that are guaranteed to provide hours and hours of family fun. Love the ocean? This is a perfect property indeed.

A 5ft fish cleaning station, freezer chest and ice maker are conveniently located steps away from the 50-foot dock. This property accommodates several cars and even a boat trailer on premises.

On the second floor from the moment, you step in, you are greeted by top to bottom sliding doors bringing in natural light and water views that will take your breath away. Just past the large sliders you’re invited to curl up on the comfortable outdoor seating for a chat, a quick nap, or even take breakfast, lunch or dinner out to this breezy dining area ready to host many memorable meals. This home has a warm and inviting open concept living, dining and a fully equipped kitchen. Conveniently located between the living and bedroom space, is a washer and dryer area equipped with clean crisp towels for all whom stay. Each of the 5 bedrooms provides families with the privacy they need with their very own on-suites and plenty of closet space for their storage needs. Forward facing bedrooms have connecting balcony space for additional stunning views at any hour of the day.

Alas to set your day in the perfect way, take a quick walk up the stairs to this unique 1,800 square foot roof top deck area, perfect for scenic panoramic views and stunning Florida Keys sunsets. This deck is a perfect setting for gathering, relaxing or even a private event. The sky is the limit to the endless memories you can make on this property.

We are proud to show you why we are a little piece of paradise in our family friendly home, and we are located next door to one of the most rented places in Marathon, Shangri La Hideaway House.

The perfect family spring break

Our family of 10 (1 grandparent, 3 parents, 1 teen and 5 children 3 - 10 had a fantastic spring break at this property in Marathon. There were plenty of beds and baths for everyone, the kitchen/living area accommodated everyone nicely and the pool was a HUGE hit ! The buggy came in handy to go to the beach (which is a very, very short walk) and we even used the kayaks. Communication with Michelle was fast and efficient.We would not hesitate to stay here if we visit Marathon again in the future.

Beautiful house in excellent location

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The house itself is extremely clean and has a wonderful living space/outdoor space. The location is extremely hard to beat in this area -- it is a 1-2 minute walk down to Sombrero beach and located right on the canal. The house was well stocked -- including pack n plays for the baby. Would recommend to anyone visiting the Keys!

Great vacation

The house was amazing. Plenty of room for our group of 9. We paid extra to have the pool heated which was nice since it was cooler in February. Owner kept the pool at 88 degrees. The spa went up to 103 degrees as well. Having a boat dock was great too. We did not get to go fishing but the large ice machine kept our beverage cooler cold and it was nice not having to buy ice everyday. The only thing I wish they would change is the 9:30 am check out time. We had to get up very early to get out on time.

AMAZING TRIP

We travel quite a bit and stay in VRBO type properties and this one was just amazing. Open Floor plan layout, amazing pool and hot tub, and a very short walk to the beach. The property manager was wonderful, and gave us recommendations of things to do while we were there. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Family getaway

The property is exactly as described. The property manager is very prompt with check in and with any of our needs while we were at the property. She also let us know about incoming severe weather and traffic delays. The property is a great location. Our kids really enjoyed being able to walk to Sombrero Beach, and swimming in the pool.

Great stay for our family

The house was perfect for our family of 8 adults and two kids under the age of 4. The house has everything needed including kids plates, cups, travel crib and high chair. The home is super clean and only a couple minutes walk from Sombrero beach. The pool and deck were perfect for swimming or just hanging out and the view from the roof is awesome. The home is within a few minutes drive to all the attractions in Marathon and Michelle was a great communicator and quickly answered all our questions.

2nd time around the Sun!

This is our second time in 3 years staying at this property. We would recommend this home for anyone looking for a luxurious stay in marathon, with easy access to the sombrero beach, wonderful pool and dockage, first class interior finishes, and less than 5 minute boat ride to the ocean. We’ve stayed in several nice homes in this area over the years, but this particular property is the one we enjoy the most for all the reasons listed. Highly recommend you book you next vacation in this home!

We loved our stay! Had such a blast. This house was the perfect fit for the 10 of us. We plan on staying here again in the future. Great location; short walk to the beautiful Sombrero beach yet off the main road so there wasn’t a lot of traffic in front of the house.

Great week!

We had a blast! The house is beautiful and clean. We arrived to Jimmy Buffett playing on the tv and a carafe of ice cold water - such a nice touch. We had 6 adults and 6 kids, with plenty of room. The rooftop deck was excellent for sunrise, sunsets, and star gazing. The kids and adults loved kayaking in the canal, swimming in the pool and the short walk to Sombrero Beach. Michelle was great to work with and responded almost immediately to any question or need. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Week in the Keys

The Sombrero Beach home was wonderful. My family and I stayed at the home for 10 days in November. The home is located on a side canal that is only 1/4 mile to the ocean. The ice machine at the house was also a wonderful addition to the home.

Great stay in Marathon

Our group of 8 ages 13-76 enjoyed all aspects of our stay in Marathon. This house was the perfect place to enjoy the pool, walk or bike to Sombrero beach and enjoy fishing and bird watching off the dock. Michelle was excellent with communication. We felt well taken care of and appreciated her helpful tips. Our favorite things were spotting a nurse shark off the dock, biking Old 7 Mile bridge, catching little fish off the dock, swimming in the pool and sunrises/sunsets on the beautiful rooftop. Highly recommend Keys Fishery in Marathon and Lazy Daze in Islamorada for amazing seafood restaurants and views.

Beautiful home, fabulous location

Every year we spring break with our family of 4 and our best friends family of 4. This was the best house and location we have been to!!! The pool is perfect, sombrero beach is right next door, the house was very equipped for fun and there are so many great restaurants a quick car or boat ride away. We rented a boat for the week and it was easy to dock it at this house. Our kids swam, fished off the dock, kayaked, played beach volleyball, and even got to see a rehabilitated sea turtle being released back into the wild right at sombrero beach!!! The owner was very responsive and even sent us tips of things to do during the week. We would definitely stay here again.
