Sunsets on the Gulf
We've stayed here 3 years in a row! The house is EXACTLY as it appears in the listing. Perfect for couples. The outside is where this home really shines. We spend most of our time in Marathon outback enjoying the pool, the tiki hut and the gorgeous view. We spend late nights fishing off the dock. Maria, the host, is VERY responsive to any request or problem. We will be back!

The Best.
Our favorite place to stay, anywhere. We've been staying here for years and continue to find new things to explore in the area. The dock is perfect for our boat and the kids love fishing and snorkeling around it. The home is stocked with everything you'd need and Maria is extremely attentive to your needs. Please don't stay here, its hard enough already to find an open week :) Can't recommend enough. The Best.

Amazing place in an amazing location
This was a family trip with my sister and her husband and kids, my parents, and my husband, myself and our kids. Even with 10 of us in the house, we never felt crowded. The space was perfect for our family! I was lucky enough to stay in the periwinkle room which was like its own little escape. From the moment you step in the backyard, you feel like you are on a tropical vacation! We spent so much time relaxing by the pool, fishing off the dock and enjoying the shady area when we needed a break from the sun. The house is extremely well stocked, so if you are looking to cook, snorkel or need a raft for by the pool every is right there for you. We were close to everything we wanted to do including a day trip to Key West and two trips up to Islamorada to shop and eat. I have rented houses in the Keys a few times now over the years and this one is definitely a favorite! Maria was so easy to work with and obviously cares about her guests comfort and enjoyment. I hope to get back there soon!

Spring Break 2024
We had a great time at the house. We could have stayed at the house the entire week without exploring the rest of Marathon. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The sunsets from the dock were amazing. The screened in porch is a great place to read and have a drink while the kids swim. Every single bedroom has its own bathroom and gives everyone their privacy and space. There is plenty of snorkeling equipment along with beach chairs. Don’t forget to go kayaking either. It was a great week and we hope to go back.

Beautiful property
Our party consisted of 6 adults in our 60’s. Everything you could possibly needed is provided. All of the kitchen cabinets were labeled so we could easily find what we needed. The best part of this home was the backyard. The pool and tiki hut were fabulous! Also, sitting on the dock watching marine life swim under and below us was incredible! We saw manatees, nurse sharks, sting rays and a barracuda right off the dock! The host was very responsive to any questions/needs we had. We would definitely come back.

Vacation in paradise
My husband and I, two other couples and my elderly parents enjoyed a wonderful week despite the weather. Beautiful sunsets and a perfect location for our boat with a nice dock. Great pool and tiki hut. Thank goodness for the inside spa because the weather was bad. We had 1.5 days of sun but with the layout of the house and size no one was on top of each other. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and lots to do in the area makes it another great option in the keys. The only part we felt lacking was a second fridge would have been nice. With 4 couples who all cook and we don’t eat out, we could have used the space. But next time we know and can adjust our packing and shopping. Because we will be back for sure!

Beautiful property with lovely mid- century home
Our overall stay was great. Our 11 yr old grandson walked in, saw the ocean and said “I’m very happy, very happy!” Couple of hiccups. Kayaks were missing, we looked everywhere we could think of but no luck, I finally contacted Maria, only to be told they were out for repair and would arrive in the morning. A heads up on the this would have been nice. They actually weren’t delivered back to the house until late Monday afternoon. The next item was the pool, no pool cleaning during the week and we couldn’t find a slimmer to clean ourselves Family had a great time in Key West one day, but the rest were spent at the house

Heaven on earth!
Such a beautiful tropical oasis! This home and property is absolutely stunning! There were 6 of us, my husband and myself and our two adult children and their girlfriends. It was plenty big for us all and we each had our own area! The views are spectacular! Also the underwater light under the dock brought out all kinds of fish. We were really hoping to see a manatee or dolphin like others have seen before us, but you can’t control nature! We did rent a boat with their dock space and went out everyday in the Gulf and Atlantic! The pool is perfect along with two jacuzzi’s! The little tiki hut area for grilling was perfect and this house has a ton of amenities! Kayaks, fishing poles, places to clean fish, and places to put your bait! The kitchen is well stocked and the area is close by restaurants and groceries! I can’t recommend this place enough! We will definitely be back!

Wedding Week Getaway
We rented this property for our family and friends for the week of our sons wedding in The Keys. We could not be more delighted! The photos don't do it justice! The views are breathtaking! Everything was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone (there was 10 of us). House was very clean! Pool, hot tub was delightful. Kids loved taking advantage of the fishing poles and kayaks to explore the area. Tiki was a perfect place for us all to relax in the evening. Maria was a joy to deal with! Definitely recommend!

Most Relaxing Vacation in Paradise
This property has it all. The location cannot be beat and the amenities serve your every need - kayaks with life vests, snorkeling equipment we used for lobstering, toiletries in case you left anything at home, and outdoor fans to keep you comfortable. We rented a 27ft boat and the dock layout was great. The underwater lights were perfect for night fishing and we saw tarpon, sharks, sailcats, and a manatee. We stayed for two weeks and did not elwant to head home. We would come again and this was our second stay.
