Our group of family & friends enjoyed the amenities of this home. Easy access to all activities - snorkeling, fishing, kayak access at the Marathon park, and Sombrero beach. Nice bikes for rides & the pool was wonderful. We would stay here again!
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.
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.
This property was just perfect for us! The location was perfect, the house was perfect, the pool was perfect, along with the grill, the kayaks and everything else! Would definitely stay here again!
Great Location - great space for large family or friends
We stayed 2 weeks. First week couples(6 people) and 2nd week family (10 people) plenty of space for everyone . A lot to do right in the property. Pool was such a plus. My son brought a sailboat and that with the kayaks provided a lot of activities.
Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
house was amazing host was super easy to get ahold of for any reason loves that it has kayaks for you to use and the pool is super nice definitely gonna be booking again soon
The pictures don't do it justice. The home is fantastic for a large group and the pool, ice maker, dock access, etc is just fantastic.
We can't wait to return.
Pool was awesome, love the canal and they leave the seasonings and condiments which is always appreciated! The owner was quick to respond to any questions. We just love marathon !!!
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.
Property was perfect for our family vacation. Great location, great pool, and Jay the owner was great with communication. The neighbor also does fishing charters. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to get us in twice for fishing. Be sure to eat at Burdine's! Great food!!

Perfect location
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.

Nice. One bedroom had no closet. Needed to hang some things.
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!
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!
Excellent location, right on the canal.. Children loved seeing schools of fish, manatees, having kayaks was a plus, the swimming pool and pool equipment for kids was also a plus. Kitchen well equipped. Furniture and outdoor area could be updated and upgraded.
Property owner is great to work with! He responds quickly to all communication. Location is excellent - close to grocery store and a great little coffee shop. The house is pretty much as described. It would have been nice to have a working coffee pot and toaster. We would definitely stay here again!
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.
