Great time with friends
Property is great for a group of friends or family to spend time together. Pool was fantastic and being able to keep the boat on the bulkhead made for easy boat days, having ample parking for a trailer was a great bonus as well. Would definitely come back.

Vacation - marathon bay
The property is great - pool was awesome for me and the family - there are a couple areas in the house (bedrooms) that need attention near the ducts. Overall the property was good.

Great location in the Keys
Enjoyed our stay - convenient location in the Middle Keys with easy access in either direction to lower and upper keys. New pool looks great, and made good use of the kayaks and SUP. Plenty of space for an extended family vacation. Jay is also very responsive owner.

We arrived to a clean and very comfortable house were we truly enjoyed our stay. The waterfront really made a huge difference for us as we took the boat down. Highly recommendable with a great layout of the house. We will most definitely return next year.

Amazing place!
This house was perfect for our extended family vacation! It was in a great location for fishing and close to all that Marathon has to offer. It has a lovely bait cooler and ice machine. The pool was great for all ages. Plenty of bedrooms and hang out areas for everyone. Two fantastic carports that kept our vehicles shaded from the sun. Exceptional property!

Family vacation
We had a total of 12 people from extended family there. There was enough room for everyone and the layout of the house works well for large groups. The location was great and we made use of the boat dock to rent a bit during our stay. Kitchen well stocked with everyday items and have baby items there too if needed. We really enjoyed our stay!

Filled our needs
The pool, dock, canoe, paddle board, and kayak were great! Our family used them a lot and made our stay at the house very enjoyable. Could use more drawers in 2 bedrooms and closet in 3rd bedroom upstairs should be to put clothes & shoes, not vacuums and cleaning stuff. Loved the back porch and foosball table. We very much enjoyed our stay.
