Oceanfront, Private Pool, Kayaks, 110’ Dock, Pet Friendly!

Turtle Cove Escape
Located in Marathon, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family private home features a private pool and sleeps 8. Bring your boat—any size! This ground-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers complete privacy with 110 feet of deep-water dockage and a brand new custom heated/chilled swimming pool. Enjoy the breathtaking views that only the Florida Keys can offer, making it the perfect family vacation spot.

This spacious conch-style home is a rare ground-level property situated directly on the Gulf of Mexico, with stunning oceanfront views. Your dream vacation in paradise starts here, with the added bonus of a large, landscaped yard, a private pool, and a private 110-foot deep-water fishing pier/boat dock, complete with a boathouse and bait freezer.

Interior: The home features individual mini-split air conditioning units in every room, allowing you to control the temperature for ultimate comfort during your stay. Throughout the house, you’ll find hand-cast Terrazzo flooring. The large, inviting living room boasts tropical-themed decor with a sofa, armchairs, coffee table, end table, lamps, a lighted ceiling fan, a 55” flat-screen Smart HD TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and an office desk. The family room has large windows offering gorgeous views of the Florida Keys palm trees.

Master Suite: The master suite includes a queen-size bed, dressers, nightstands with lamps, a ceiling fan, a large flat-screen TV, and its own remote-controlled mini-split AC unit. The attached full bathroom features a step-in tiled shower/tub. The master suite also offers a private entry door leading to the back patio, pool area, and dock.

Guest Bedrooms: Both the second and third guest bedrooms have a queen-size and a single bed, for a total of 5 beds in the house (3 queens, 2 singles), ensuring everyone has a real bed. Each room is equipped with its own remote-controlled mini-split AC unit, ceiling fans, and ample storage. Like the master suite, both guest rooms have private entry doors that open to the patios and pool area, allowing guests to come and go without disturbing others.

Kitchen: The fully stocked kitchen includes a built-in microwave, gas range, oven, dishwasher, and side-by-side refrigerator with ice/water dispenser. You’ll find a complete array of dishes, glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, pots, pans, and small appliances like a toaster, coffee maker, and a margarita machine. The indoor dining area features French doors that open to the outdoor patio, offering more stunning water views.

Laundry: A separate laundry room off the kitchen includes a full-size washer and dryer, a folding area, and a second full-size refrigerator.

Pool Area: The custom pool is a large in-ground pool (3 to 6 feet deep), heated or chilled as needed. The two-tier outdoor patio is equipped with patio tables, chairs, sun loungers, and a gas grill. Enjoy morning coffee or stunning sunsets on the patio or poolside, with only the landscaped yard and boat dock separating you from the water.

Dock/Pier/Boathouse: The 110-foot deep-water dock features dock lights, 15-amp electric (with 30-50 amp available at extra cost), a large fish cleaning station, and outbound mooring pylons for larger boats. With direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, it’s only a short boat ride to the Vaca Cut or 7 Mile Bridge for Atlantic Ocean adventures, including world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving. A private boathouse provides storage for fishing and dive gear, and a full-size bait freezer is available for guests. We’ve thought of everything, including a gas grill to cook up your catch of the day!

Boat Ramp: There are several nearby boat ramps, with one of the best located just down the street at 33rd Street on the Gulf side. It’s only ½ mile by water back to our dock. Boat fuel is available at a nearby fuel dock, also just ½ mile away.

Kayaks: This rental includes complimentary kayaks, allowing guests to explore the Gulf waters, nearby mangroves, or fish from the kayaks.

Parking: The large circular driveway provides ample parking for your boat trailer and vehicles.

Area Attractions: Turtle Cove Escape is conveniently located near popular attractions such as the Turtle Hospital, Crane Museum, Aquarium Encounters, and Dolphin Research Center, all just minutes away. Marathon is the ideal location for a Keys vacation. Situated in the heart of the Florida Keys, it’s a short drive to Key West, where you can enjoy local haunts and the famous sunset at Mallory Square. Stop along the way for mini-golf at Boondocks or head in the other direction to explore John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo, just 45 minutes away. Marathon has it all—shopping, restaurants, bars, marinas, bait & tackle shops, dive shops, and more.

Beaches: You’re just a few minutes away from the best beaches in the Florida Keys, including Sombrero Beach and Bahia Honda State Park. Rent this home and have your “toes in the sand” in no time!
Seasonal Seaweed Notice: Like much of the Florida Keys, our canal can experience seaweed at certain times of the year. On the ocean side, this usually happens in summer while gulf-side canals see it more in winter. It’s a natural part of the area and may affect the canal during your stay, especially if you’re staying in the winter months.

Spring break in the keys
We absolutely loved our stay in Turtle Cove. The pool, the dock, the beautiful weather, what is not to love. House wasn’t fancy, but it was old Florida perfect. We were outside so much, we just needed a place to sleep and eat. They provided us with bath and beach towels and the boat house was full of fishing poles and a collection of hooks, etc that other visitors had left. We added some of our own and left a float for others to enjoy in the pool (my favorite thing to do!). We will definitely be back!

Great location! So many perks!
We enjoyed our stay at the home. Property was very clean, conveniently located and had lots of great features. We loved coffee every morning on the dock. Kayaks and boat house supplies were a great bonus. Property was large and it was great having our own little oasis for vacation.

The property was perfect for our family. Plenty of room in the house. Kids spent a lot of time in the pool. We fished and snorkled from the dock. Saw lots of different fish and small nurse sharks. The property is in a perfecr location. Easy drive to Key West. Plenty of great restaurants within a few minutes of the property. The only complaint we have, is that we only stayed a week. We will definitely stsy here again.

Excellent in every way!
House had everything we needed. My 9 year old fished from daylight to dark. We rented a boat from Cocos boat rental for the week and it was nice to park it at house. My son caught nurse sharks, lobster and fish almost every cast! He didn’t want to leave! We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay, the house was just as expected from the pictures and well equipped. The pool was great, dock is nice and plenty deep to park a boat. There were extra fishing poles, snorkeling gear, life jackets and even a bait freezer in the boat house. The view is fantastic. We will stay here again.

Fisherman’s Dream
The boat house! The dock! The location! All combine to make this property fabulous for the serious fisherman. Bait fridge, hoses and plenty of storage in the boat house make heading every day as easy as possible. The house was exactly as advertised - not luxurious but adequate. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment; laundry room was great. Hope to be back!

Gorgeous setting
The owners were incredibly nice and communicative. The house is in an ideal location to get anywhere local or even to the upper Keys down to Key West. The house was nicely equipped with anything we would need. We enjoyed fishing right from the dock. The views are wide open and stunning.We also very much enjoyed the pool and huge patio area.

The house was amazing.
The house fit 7 of us perfectly. They left so much for our kids to use and do, including games, snorkeling equipment, kayaks, floats, and more. It’s centrally located and easy to find. It’s a short distance to the beach. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

The property location is exactly what we were looking for with plenty of privacy and amazing water frontage and views. It's also convenient to shopping and dining. The home is extremely clean, well decorated, and well equipped with all the comforts of home. The pics on the website are true to the live experience....what you see is what you get. We're Keys veterans and putting this property at the top of our, "favorites list."

BEAUTIFUL location!
Joined our son and grandchildren at this incredibly beautiful location. It's an old style Florida home on the water with incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico. We Enjoyed the five kayaks everyday and found some really cool places & coves and saw lobsters and a big manatee. Right off the dock we caught many mangrove snapper fish and a nurse shark and a small hammer head ....all we released. In the morning on the dock/pier it's like being in an aquarium, parrot fish, snapper and nurse sharks all around. The salt water pool is a plus! I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely book again.

Perfect Getaway
We enjoyed this property with another family over Spring Break. We loved the water access and kayaks available right on the property. We were able to snorkel right from the dock then jump in the heated pool. We set up our hammocks and spent most of our time relaxing in the yard. The kids had fun swimming and playing with the fallen coconuts. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
