About this property

The Vaca House: 5 BR, 6.5 BA House in Marathon, Sleeps 10

As you step outside of Vaca House, you'll be greeted by an outdoor living space featuring an outdoor kitchen, complete with a cabana and grill. A full bathroom is conveniently situated by the pool area. You can savor ample outdoor lounge space by the heated pool, enjoying the breathtaking views and sunsets that make this home a gem in the Florida Keys. Boating enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the location, with easy access to both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The deep water dock can accommodate boats of up to 30 feet, including motors, and offers convenient features like a fish cleaning station, water, and electricity. Please note that the owner's boat is kept on the lift and is not for renter use, but this doesn't impact the available dockage.

Rest assured, this exquisite home will not disappoint.

On the ground level of the home, you'll find a fantastic open floor plan with a spacious living room and a luxurious kitchen. A beautiful dining area with an 8-seat table completes the picture. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors frame the incredible view, and there's a bedroom with two twin beds as well.

The second level of the home features a generous master suite with a private bathroom. The master bath boasts his and her vanities, a spacious tub, and a stand-up shower. Exiting the master bedroom, you'll discover a relaxing balcony, the perfect spot for unwinding with a glass of wine or a good book. Two additional bedrooms feature king-sized beds, and a fourth bedroom comes with two twin beds, each with adjoining bathrooms. You'll also find a desk in the wide hallway.

Nearby, you'll have access to two public beaches and a state park. Coco Plum is just a 5-minute drive away, Sombrero Beach is 15 minutes from the home, and Curry Hammock State Park is reachable in 8 minutes.

Please note that trailer parking is not permitted, and arrangements for boat trailers must be made in advance. The property can accommodate up to three vehicles, and only one boat is allowed.

For your security, this house is equipped with exterior security cameras.

There is a $150 charge/week for pool/spa heat already included in the quoted reservation total.

We have been coming to the Keys for vacation for several years and this was our most favorite week by far. The location is perfect for water access with a boat and the surroundings could not be more beautiful.

Exceeded expectations

What can I say about this property that the pictures don't show. It is everything we hoped for and more. This property is a statement property. The check in process was a breeze. Mallory was available via text to answer any questions. There was PLENTY of space for our party of 9. Each bedroom had it's own full bath which was a bonus with such a large crowd. Plus a full pool bath and a powder room by the kitchen. All the cocktail glasses for margaritas, mimosas and wine. A beautiful wet bar in the main family room. Tons of space for keeping drinks cold, even the master bath had a mini fridge. Only suggestion I might add is some extra blankets in the closets (kids were cold after being in the sun all day). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything, including a GIANT pot for our final dinner where we cooked live lobster for the group. I will definitely be recommending this property to my friends. If you are hesitating, don't. You won't be disappointed.

Just Fantastic!!!

We had 3 couples stay and had a fabulous time for two weeks. The house, location, views, and deck area were all just perfect. The management company was also wonderful to work with. This home is very well taken care of and perfect if you want to relax with a spectacular view and I am sure just super if you are a boater/fisherman as well. Very highly recommended!

The property is a custom built home, high quality and very beautiful with great location as well. Very well furnished. As one might expect there were a few glitches, ie some lights need to be replaced, ice machine adjusted, written instruction for operation of the pool and jacuzzi, the manager came by and directed us to which we had no further issues. I would encourage the management team if they do not , please have a check off list for each room for example the master bedroom's TV was none functional, which they responded and a new one will be required to be ordered. As well as some other operational items that could be directed at the time of visiting the home. Over all it is a wonderful place to stay and some of the inconviences could have been averted.

Very nice property

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We enjoyed our stay at the Vaca House. It is a beautiful property on the water with great access to the Atlantic ocean side of Marathon. With a few exceptions, everything was well maintained and clean. There were 8 people in our party and the house nicely accommodated all. The furnishing and appointments are top-notch and beautiful. Beds were comfortable, although some might find the front upstairs BR bed too soft. We were not thrilled with the rigid policy of a 9AM checkout on your day of departure. This did not allow us to enjoy our last morning of vacation. Also, the security lights around the house remained on all night and were very bright in the bedroom windows while sleeping. Other than that, a very good property. I would consider staying there again.
