Very Merry Christmas at Sombrero Beach

Everything about our stay was great. The house was beautiful and spacious. Had everything we needed. Kitchen was well supplied with all the appliances you would need, nice pots and pans, and lots of serving dishes. Landscaping was very well done. Sitting by the heated pool was luxurious. Lots of fishing of the dock including two small sharks! Beach is a short walk. Grocery store is very convenient. Owner was very responsive and helpful with suggestions. As far as I’m concerned, the only thing that was missing was maybe some pool noodles. But, I could have bought one at Publix for 5. At dawn and dusk, there are biting midgies or no-see-ems. The fan under the tiki hut helps to keep them away. After dawn and dusk they go away. Would highly recommend staying here.

By far our FAVORITE

Location of property within 100yards of Atlantic Ocean with great boat access. Kayaks and paddle boards available to use in the canals. Cleanliness was outstanding and clear communication with property owner. Very spacious and guest house was outstanding. Only had one recommendation from the people staying in guest house, “ they wish I went colder than 75.” All in all…10 out of 10 stay. I look forward to staying here again.

Perfect Paradise

WOW! This rental is amazing!! This property is all you need for a perfect vacation in The Keys! The pool, dock, outdoor kitchen, and tiki hut let you know you’re in the keys and provide the perfect vacation without ever leaving the property. The house and cottage are impeccably clean and extremely well decorated. All amenities are high end, including appliances, furniture, and fixtures. The 3 bedrooms in the main house are very private, with each having their own full bath. This is the perfect location to give your family or friends a true taste of the relaxation and fun of the Middle Keys. The owner was easy to contact and always responded immediately. You will not find a better house or owner in The Keys. Rent this house!

Forever family memories

Spend a memorable week with our family in this Marathon, Florida gem. Plenty of room, heated pool, dock to fish and kayak from. Caught mutton snapper, catfish, ladyfish and small grouper. We used the kayaks several times and docked our rental boat for 3 days. Walked to Sombrero Beach and watched a turtle release. Kitchen is equipped with anything you can think of and a propane grill covered with a tiki hut! Outdoor sound system via the sonos app was awesome. We spent a large amount of time in the pool. Publix and K-mart (fishing license) at the end of the street. Thanks to the Blum family for sharing their little slice of paradise!!!

Two weeks in Paradise

We stayed for two weeks and couldn't have been happier. Property was exactly as described. Back yard was extremely private, house was very spacious and the kitchen was well stocked. Publix and K-Mart so close was an added bonus. Bill was extremely accommodating and answered my texts very quickly. He and his wife even helped us get ESPN working on the main TV remotely just before the game started even though they were cheering for the other team...now that is great hospitality! Concrete dock was beautiful and easily accommodated our 24ft boat we rented. We saw a stingray completely jump out of the water in front of our boat, got a glimpse of a manatee, sea turtle and a dolphin. We caught MANY fish, including a 2-ft hammerhead shark! The iguanas, hermit crabs and geckos were fun to watch. They would visit frequently and "hang" with us at the edge of pool. I recommend this property to anyone, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely Perfect!

Every year we go to Marathon for our family vacation. This year we traveled with 2 other families. The accommodations very perfect. We have stayed at many different rental properties over the last 10 years in Marathon. This is absolutely the best place we have ever rented. Very clean, well stocked with towel and linens. Thank you to the owners for sharing their property with us! We will definitely be returning.

Perfect Vacation

This property is beautifully maintained and it was so nicely laid out that everyone had their own privacy when needed. The location is perfect for boating with easy deep water access to both the Gulf and the Atlantic. The property was missing nothing - it was just perfect. The pool was very warm - almost too warm, but it sits all day in the Florida sun. Beware of lots of Iguanas! We named one "Gramps" - he often came out and watched us in the pool or sat with us on the pool deck while cooking out. My only complaint is that whoever is contracted to pickup recycle material never showed up. We'll definitely be back!

Tingler Lane House

This was a great property to stay in. We had 2 families and we had plenty of space. Loved the outdoor area, pool size was perfect-although the water was very warm, nice in cooler months but no so refreshing in the summer, despite that, we used the pool every day and night-probably one of the larger pools of any house I searched in Marathon. Very private too. Kitchen had everything we needed. Fridge was large and we had the other fridge in the small cottage if we needed more space. Loved the 2 ice makers-they came in extremely handy. We rented a boat for4 days while we were there. Docking can be a little tricky, but we figured it out. House is very close to the open water, but parts were very shallow so be careful going out. House is in a residential area so it's nice and quiet. This house had everything we needed and then some! The only thing I would change in this house would be to add more seating to the living area...there is a large couch, but still plenty of room to add a couple of large comfortable chairs. On another note, we noticed a pretty bad smell outside when we first got there...noticed it on the way down as well-turns out when the winds are coming from the south, it blows decaying sargassum (brown sea algae) into the islands. Sombrero beach was nice, but so much seaweed was blown onto shore and the smell was awful so we didn't spend any time there. This has nothing to do with the property, just an FYI. There was an issue with the air conditioning and the property manager responded to us right away and got the issue fixed. We really enjoyed staying at this property and will definitely be back for a visit in the future! We had 2 families with four kids staying here. The adults stayed in the main house along with the oldest child (17) and the other 3 kids stayed in the cottage (11, 13 and 14)-they loved having their own space away from the adults! It was a perfect set up for us. Again, we will definitely be back and stay here again!

Little Tropical Paradise

The home was perfect and the back yard was even better than perfect.... Tropical Paradise... Most of our time was spent sitting at the table under the tiki hut and in the pool listening to music.... Great music system and speakers... The manatees, lizards, and crabs put on a show everyday for us. The house and yard are very clean and well kept... The out door grill area was clean and plenty of gas. We used the grill a lot... The location is good very close to shopping and a sand beach was just down the road ... My group consisted of five couples we had plenty of room and lots of fun... Do know if your group is over eight there will be an up charge a pretty hefty up charge!!! Over all booking was easy check in was easy owner was easy to work with and security deposit was retuned... I would book this Tropical Paradise again... Shari Jones

PERFECT in every way!!

We were 5 couples from various locations getting away for varying lengths of time. Some stayed 2 nights, some 4, and the rest of us stayed 7 nights. The most repeated sentence of the entire trip is "this is a GREAT house"! The pool and tiki hut were the hot spots for gathering, and we fished right in the canal. I hooked a shark there! I'm not a big fan of crowded Key West, so I didn't care that it was an hour away. But several of us made trips there for various reasons, and the guys did a fishing trip from KW one day. They caught lots of snapper and the captain gave us mahi mahi to take home and cook on the grill outside. Drogon, the massive iguana, visited daily! (DO NOT FEED THE LIZARDS - Florida rules, y'all!) All of the bedrooms were well appointed and super comfortable. Nice bathrooms. Good kitchen for a crowd. We enjoyed every single minute and aspect of our vacation here! THANK YOU, BILL! Thanks for sharing your wonderful Keys home with us!

Thank you Bill and Monique for use of your beautiful home away from home. We have never enjoyed the Keys so much. This trip was the first Keys trip to include our 4 adult children and we could not have picked a better location. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and Saturday comes way too fast. We hope to visit this amazing place again soon.

Awesome property and location!

House and cottage was perfect for our extended family. Teenagers had their own space in the cottage and loved it as did rest of family. House and grounds are maintained in impeccable condition and owner is extremely responsive and available to address any concerns or answer questions. Just minutes to grocery, restaurants, etc. including walking distance to Sombrero beach. Ocean access is literally 5 min from dock and fishing is always great. This year produced a huge White Marlin! A trophy and lifetime memory. Thanks Bill for use of your home and we look forward to our return next year.

Thank you Bill for allowing us to stay in your Marathon Key location! The house is gorgeous and in a great location for water, beach, and shopping access. This location is minutes away from two big grocery stores (Publix and Winn Dixie), as well as a Kmart store. Bill and those who work for him were prompt to our every request. Their response time was next to immediate. There was a fire in the area the week we stayed, and Bill contacted us to let us know about road closures. How great is that? The house is a great size for multiple families who both enjoyed time together, and needed time apart. What is better than four bathrooms! The ability to use kayaks and paddle boards at a whim was wonderful. And we enjoyed having the pool to ourselves, along with plenty of places to lay out. The outdoor speakers are a nice touch. The outdoor grill was easy to use and my BBQ chicken turned out perfect. There were plenty of plates, bowls and utensils. The kitchen is well equipped and the two tea drinkers in the party appreciated the tea kettle as it is seldom found in rentals. There were baskets just inside the patio doors filled with beach towels! This was fantastic for those of us who pack light for flying. I should note there were hair dryers too. Additionally, it was great to have every light switch labeled. Super helpful. When the Keys come back around as our vacation destination, we will be certain to look at Bill’s place first.

Our forever summer vacation rental house 🌴

First of all, I wished we could own this beautiful beach vacation home!!!! It was exactly as described, fully stocked and the pictures do not do justice for the feel of the "openess" for the inside of this home or for the outside by the pool, tiki hut, or outside grilling area! It even has an ice machine and wet bar inside, perfect for our margaritas! Our family truly had the best vacation at this home, kids loved the kyacks and paddle boards provided and the dock fit our 27' boat perfectly. We loved the secluded feeing of this property too! Thank you Mr. Blum for being so wonderful to work with and easy to get a hold of. We will be booking again for next summer☀️
