It's all about the outdoor living at this lovely, central Keys getaway! Your home away from home on Marathon features a private boat dock, pool, and pool table - and you’re walking distance to Sombrero Beach. Start your day on your wraparound deck, iced coffee in hand, enjoying that lovely water view. Take your time - you’re in the Keys, so there’s no rush. Back inside, whip up breakfast in your open, well-equipped kitchen, complete with all the gadgets and appliances you’ll need. There’s a dining area for six, but why not eat outside if it’s nice (and it probably is). If you’re leaving for the day, you can walk to the beach, fishing and boat charter outfitters, a marina, and restaurants. But why would you leave when you have a private resort right downstairs? Let your pup play in the enclosed yard of this dog-friendly home while you while away the afternoon in the pool or swing in one of the two hammocks. The mixologist of the group can use the downstairs, outdoor kitchen to whip up some boat drinks, and you can challenge them to a game of pool when they’re done. Want to spend the day on the boat? No problem - you’ve got that private dock and access to a shared boat launch. Bring home your catch and clean it on the fish-cleaning table, or take one of the home’s available kayaks for a spin. When it’s time to call it a night, settle in back upstairs on the comfy couch and flip on the TV - or head back out to that deck and enjoy the view.

THINGS TO KNOW
Seven-day minimum stay
The boat launch is shared with 10 other homes in the area.

Annual Keys Vacation
We enjoyed our stay. The outside bar was great for watching Hockey Playoffs and having drinks after days spent fishing and lounging by the pool. Our dog loved the freedom of a fully enclosed yard.

Great vacation home
The house was beautiful, kitchen was spacious and the home is located in a great location. Sombrero beach is a 5-10 minute walk and its definitely worth visiting. The dock was awesome as we had a manatee visit us one day!!

Beautiful place
We came to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The place was beautiful, and clean. We enjoyed the pool every day and the activities that the property offers! The house has plenty of room and is close to the grocery store, restaurants, and so many fun things to do throughout Marathon. Thanks for the unforgettable stay! We hope to come back again!

40th Bday celebration
Spent a little over a week here for my 40th bday! House was as described. Could use a bit of updating but overall a great stay! Location is amazing!! Boat ramp next to the house was even more amazing! Had a couple slight issues but property manager was quick with response and repairs! Would definitely stay again!

Great stay in Marathon
We enjoyed our stay at the Anchor House. The house felt very clean, the bed was comfy, we enjoyed having the extra beach towels, and we loved the pool and fishing from the dock. The gravel drive was a tough on the dogs feet, but they seemed to enjoy their stay too. Our only disappointment was that the outside TV didn't work and we had lots of frustration with getting the keypad/house lock to work consistently. Otherwise - we had a great stay.

Amazing service and great holiday spot
We really enjoyed the place - very clean and spacious with beach and grocery stores close without the hassle of going back onto highway traffic. We rented bikes which were handy to tour the area and get to the beach. The kayaks provided got lots of use. We called Vacasa property services on a Sunday and reported minor issues with closet door and balcony door - we weren't looking for immediate service but an hour later we had a friendly handyman named Adam who looked after things - not used to that response - usually you wait on a 1-800 number for a long time to get someone but the immediate response is a rare thing these days.

Relaxing trip in The Keys
We loved the house! The sea weed was a little to much by the dock. We couldn't see any sea life. Loved the pool. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. The one thing they need is beach chairs. Would of been nice to have when we went to the beach. Weve stayed where other houses have them. Very close to Publix and Winn Dixie. Coast to Coast pizza is delicious and right by Publix. Also love Key Fisheries. Brought back dips to snack on at night. Enjoy your time when you rent this house!

So enjoyed our stay here with a couple friends. Place has everything you need, is immaculate, fantastic view, and so close to either the beach in one direction and grocery stores in the other. Also located in a very nice residential neighborhood. Plan on returning! Thanks for the lovely stay!!

Great Mini Season
Our stay at the Anchor House was great. We came for mini season and trailered our 24ft boat. Having the boat ramp next to the house is a huge convenience and handled our truck and trailer without issue. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles and trailers. The canal leading out to open water is 2-3 feet at low tide though narrow, reasonably marked with buoys and two reflective markers, easy run out to the reef. The outdoor space is very good, lots of outdoor seating, nice pool, grill and outdoor kitchen is functional. The billiard table on the patio is nice, kids had a great time playing on it. The house/decorations is a little on the older side but very homey and comfortable. AC nice and cold, beds were great. Kitchen was well appointed, had everything we needed. Would definitely consider staying at again.

Exactly as pictured
Great location! Perfect if you are bringing your own boat. Nice to have two rooms with king beds. We were two couples traveling to enjoy boating and fishing. This unit is very well stocked and had plenty of extras we were not expecting. The outdoor spaces are very well done and a bonus in addition to the nice unit.

Great central location!
Location was great! Easy day trip to Key West or Key Largo. House was great for our family, we loved the pool and kayaks. We found crabs daily near the pool. The oven control stopped working on our 1st day, the property manager was quick to get a repair guy out the next day and reimbursed us for a day. Our only complaint was the sargassum smell. We were not prepared for the strong sewage smell. I should have researched more to see it was peak season, but we didn’t experience the smell anywhere else even though we could see the seaweed on the beach. The houses on the canal should get together to put an aerator to keep the seaweed out. I would recommend the home, maybe just not during peak sargassum season.

Great stay!
Great location; community boat ramp is a plus but the seasonal seaweed stench takes some getting used to. Home is comfortable and stocked well. A/C and washer/dryer I are both fantastic. Great open layout that makes it feel larger than a 2BR. Waterfall Shower heads are a bonus!! Downstairs bar and pool table next to the pool are great! Would rent again.

Sombrero Beach Getaway
We love vacationing in the Keys! We chose this home due to having a boat ramp right at the property and what looked like easy ocean access. We loved the thought of pulling up and dropping the boat in the water. The home itself was nice although could use a little TLC… just a little sprucing up here and there would go a long way. We found everything was clean and for the most part ok. Ice maker didn’t work - not the end of the world. The outside living space was nice. And the pool, while on the small side, was perfect for us. The listing says there’s a sound dock but it was no where to be found. If you like a little music bring a Bluetooth speaker! The downside of this property for us was the water. The ad mentions “some sea grass” well, that was an understatement. The water does not wash out in that area and the seaweed is vast which caused an odor for our entire stay. You tend to get used to it but it’s not what we imagined. The day we arrived the boat ramp was unusable due to the seaweed… it was thick and smelled terrible. We waited 2 days until it manageable. The Chanel is a bit tricky to navigate. All in all our stay was good. Publix is close by and Sombrero beach at the end of the street was very nice. Many restaurants around and things to do. We enjoyed cooking our meals at the house and just relaxing. Decent rental but the water situation would prevent us from renting again.

This is a fantastic little vacation home in Marathon Florida, close to Sombrero Beach, close to Publix Food Mart, nice to have our own pool, good central location in the Keys. We loved every minute of it and will definitely book again for future vacations

Very nice home with great water access and views. The deck space is great and the ground floor outdoor living space and pool are outstanding. Amenities such as kayaks are nice and there is a ramp to the canal for easy launching. Sombrero beach right up the street.

Ideal location, the house was lovely with great elevated view, kayaks were a nice touch, the pool was great for unwinding and the dock was good. Slightly sketchy channel to navigate, but can't fault this place.
