Staying at Pelican’s Perch in Marathon was a good choice for our family’s getaway to the Keys. It is tucked away off the main highway, with quick and easy access to everything. The complex was fairly quiet, well-lit, and felt safe. Parking is easy, with your own parking spot right below the condo, and when you climb the steps to the first floor entry and balcony, the views of the gulf are just wonderful! The colorful rocking chairs, the morning sunrises (with a cup of coffee), and the afternoon shade later on, made the balconies our favorite place to sit, relax, and enjoy the view. The condo was spacious, had good lighting, and was clean, with a relaxed and comfy feel to it. The WiFi worked well, the main floor half-bath was convenient, and it was good to have an in-unit washer and dryer to use. There were plenty of towels, including beach towels, and beach chairs, coolers, etc. Upstairs, the beds were comfortable. The master bedroom (and bath) had even better views, with it’s own balcony and rockers, and the other BR had a full bath next door to it in the hallway. The pool was just steps away; we enjoyed having it to ourselves most of the time, with spots in the shade available poolside. We visited the dock, and saw fish and sharks swimming just below us, and we noted others were catching fish. Many good restaurants are within a few miles, as well as grocery and drug stores, and gas stations. Sunset Park and Sombrero Beach are within a few miles and were fun places to visit. We left with lots of good memories, and we all agree we would stay here again. Bernie and Rex were very responsive with any questions we had, and were easy to work with. Thank you!
