Ground Floor Home "NO STAIRS" !!!!!! We love that the house located on a Quiet street 4 houses in from the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico and minutes from the Ocean Side and Sombrero Reef via VACA cut, with Miles of a "New" Bicycle/ walking lane along aviation Blvd. right at the end of the street, and only minutes (3 miles) from Sombrero Beach and 5 Miles from the newly restored "Old 7 Mile Bridge" walking and biking bridge spanning 2 miles to Pigeon Key.

This Ground Floor, 4 bedroom 3 1/2 Bath House has ample sleeping options for every type of family/friend gathering and is handicap accessible also providing a handicap accessible floor level shower in one bathroom. We are pet friendly but there is a pet fee of 200.00 that applies for the week

ample parking for several vehicles and even room out front for a boat trailer........ Bringing your boat??? then you will love the fact that the boat ramp is 1/4 mile down the road making launching your boat a dream.

The floor plan is a open plan with all rooms connected to the main living room area. Every bedroom is equipped with "smart" flat-screen TVs. as well as a big screen TV in the living room. with 3 of the 4 bedrooms equipped with the own "Mitsubishi" A/C units for personal temperature preference.

CANAL: The property is located on a True "Flow Through" Canal which supports abundant ocean life, with snapper, parrot fish, nurse sharks, tarpon, lobsters and many more spotted daily at our 90' Dock (60'usable as our boat & lift take up 30')
2 paddle boards a available for your enjoyment of the large bay out front loaded natural coral located at the end of the canal

An amazing, inground, beach entry pool with hot tub w/ waterfall Grotto measures 40'x 15'. There is a Tiki hut sits right at the beach entry end of the pool with an outside pool 1/2 bathroom right at poolside as well as a outside hot/cold fresh water shower also the jumbo size Chess / Checkers as well as Corn Hole located in the front sandy area along the canal.

Newly designed landscaping/fencing was laid out with privacy in mind.

Large Outside Screened in Lanai measuring 40'x 20' with outside bar area with sink, sitting and eating area. also full size refrigerator for beverages as well as a small Bait freezer and Ice machine for the fishermen.

This property is strictly a Sun-Sun, 7day rental property, we do not rent nightly.

Slice of Paradise

Beautiful keys home. Our family had such a great week! Home is clean, beautiful, and is very private. Our kids loved the pool and the hot tub. Craig is a wonderful host who is very responsive. We have been staying here for a week in the summer for the last 5 years and plan to return every year. Thank you Craig for sharing your beautiful keys home with us. We miss the keys already!

Marathon stay

My family and I stayed here for a week!!! We had the best time!!! The easiest check in and out process!! The pool was amazing and after a long day in the sun the house was always nice and cool! There was plenty of room on the dock for the boat we rented and our 2 jet skiis. The only negative was the bugs and sand nats. Just remember we live in Florida. Bring your favorite bug spray and you will be ok!! We will definitely be back next year :)

Perfect getaway

The house is amazing, the room setup, the pool, the dock, everything was just incredible. The owner was outstanding with communication and everything was an absolute joy. The kids were in heaven swimming from morning until night unless we were going to the beach or to key west. Fishing was good too the wildlife in the canal was amazing. Saw tons of fish, two nurse sharks, a bunch of lobster, and a few manatee. It was the perfect needed vacation for us and our teen children.

2024 Marathon

We all enjoyed our stay. The dock was plenty big enough for our 25' boat. The house was clean and plenty of room for 8 adults. A manatee visited us twice during the week and we enjoyed watching the parrot fish around the dock too. I will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Fabulous Place for Early Family Christmas

We like to rent a vacation home for our family Christmas celebration, which we do early so that our adult kids don't have date conflicts with their in-laws. The Keys is our favorite location. There are so many activities that everyone stays entertained. The Grouper House didn't disappoint. It was clean and roomy with a wonderful pool with a waterfall and grotto. the pool is heated via solar power and the water was comfortable in December weather. We had some 60 degree weather and we still enjoyed the pool. The hot tub was roomy and inviting too! The outdoor set ups are numerous. We most enjoyed the screened in lanai. The furniture out there was so comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the details of an outdoor ice-maker, giant chess set, fishing from the canal dock and the stand-up paddle boards. This property is highly recommended! Super clean, well outfitted and close to everything in Marathon. Our tiny dogs enjoyed sitting in the sun and going to watch the sunset every evening.

Where do I start? The home is perfect and fitted with everything you could possibly need. The pool and hot tub were awesome and very private. The house was very clean and every bedroom had their own tv. Plenty of seating in the living room and the outside as well. I would highly recommend this home and I would definitely rent it again!

Magical memories in Marathon

This was a first time to the Florida Keys. We vacation the week of Thanksgiving. The weather was great. It was warm and sunny most days. When we travel, we like to stay busy and explore the area, but we also want a relaxing and comfortable place to enjoy. This property did not disappoint. It was amazing. The property was well equipped, the pool and amenities on the property itself provided everything we needed and wanted. We did not have a boat but if you do, this is the place to stay. The location was also perfect as it was an easy commute to everything we wanted to do in the area. We went to the Turtle Hospital, the Aquarium, and the Dolphin Research Center. We also parasailed and chartered a captain and boat and went fishing. Everything we did, including dining options, grocery stores and drug stores were close. Because of this property's location, none of our commutes were more than 15 minutes. We are grateful for the memories we created with our family, and should we return to the Marathon area, this would be the property we would again seek out to stay.

Awesome Stay!

This was the perfect place for our family to spend a week together. This was a group of 6 adults and 2 kids. Multi generational. My wife and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary and our 2 grown kids and families joined us. Great home, well described. Pool and hot tub were a hit. Rented a boat for a few days and it was great to go straight from our dock out to the reef to fish. Well stocked kitchen, 2 fridges were a plus. Ice machine was a bonus! Loved the tiki hut, in fact, I fell asleep there on the couch one night and would have spent the night there if my wife hadn't come looking for me! Well maintained home. I highly recommend this location and will stay here again the next time I am in the Keys.

We had fun and relaxation from the minute we got there till we sadly packed and left! This home is in a perfect location and has a perfect layout. The owner is so friendly and there if you need him. We loved the pool deck area and the dock- lots of wildlife was enjoyed. Great beaches and boating, snorkeling and fishing. Terrific restaurants and the aquarium was a fun break from the sun. We want to come back!

Perfect Florida Keys Vacation Home

We visit the keys a couple of times per year and we’ve stayed in some great places but this one topped them all. From the spacious house and rooms to the gorgeous pool and all of the amenities and taking photos of the manatees in the canal. It was perfection. And a special shoutout to our host for being so amazing!

Gem on Marathon

This property was perfect for our vacation. One of my guests is in a motorized wheelchair and we have a difficult time finding places to stay for his needs. This house checked every box on our list. The house was clean and comfortable. My children loved the pool, the oversized dock was plenty big for our boat and the fish cleaning stations were perfect. We would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Good spot in Marathon

House was a great space for 8 adults for a celebratory birthday week. Able to put in our boat 2 miles down from property at the public ramp and tie off at dock with water and power. Pool was great and the grotto provided shade from the sun. The screened in porch did leak when it rained but it may be the gutters just need cleaned. I contacted the owner to let them know but didn’t hear back. Glad it only rained one night. Had all pots and pans we needed and we did have to pick up trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper. Bring sunscreen and bug spray and you should have an enjoyable stay.
