5BR luxury home w/ pool, theater, rooftop deck & 100-ft dock near beach!
City of Marathon license VACA 21-184 VRBO property ID # 4128846
15 Swaying Palms – Luxe Waterfront Living with Pool, Theater, and Exclusive 100-ft Dock
Welcome to 15 Swaying Palms, a one-of-a-kind luxury retreat just minutes from Coco Plum Beach, built for guests who want it all: space, style, and the Keys’ best waterfront access. This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom coastal estate blends tropical elegance with top-tier amenities—designed with families, boaters, and memory-makers in mind.
The crown jewel of this home is its 100-foot T-shaped dock—unlike anything else in Coco Plum—complete with 20- and 30-amp shore power, a fish-cleaning station, bait freezer, and floating dock for seamless boating and waterfront living. Positioned right in the center of the canal, it offers 20/30 amp shore power, a fish-cleaning station, bait freezer, floating dock, and unbeatable water access. Whether you’re loading up for offshore adventures, enjoying your morning coffee over calm waters, or letting the kids jump in and splash around, this dock turns every day into a new experience. And when sunset rolls in, take your drink to the end of the dock—or better yet, head up to the rooftop lookout for 360° views of the sky and sea.
Inside, the home features an inviting open layout with wide staircases and spacious common areas—perfect for gathering, entertaining, and relaxing together. The chef's kitchen features commercial-grade appliances, including a Viking fridge, granite counters, ice maker, dishwasher, and a large bar perfect for snacks and cocktails. Off the living space, a screened-in balcony lets you take in views of the canal, pool, and dock while dining or relaxing—completely protected from the bugs.
The master suite is a spacious sanctuary with direct balcony access, a spa-style bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub, double sinks, and a walk-in dual-head shower. Down the hall, two more queen bedrooms share a full bath with a tub and shower combo. On the opposite side of the house, a kids’ bunk room (full on bottom, twin on top) pairs perfectly with another queen bedroom, sharing their own full bath. A fourth bathroom is conveniently located poolside, so no wet footprints need to make it upstairs.
Back downstairs, the entertainment continues with a huge screened-in outdoor room complete with a BBQ kitchen and dining table big enough for the whole group. And when the sun sets, gather in the theater room, featuring a 72” TV for movie marathons and game nights. With six TVs throughout the house, WiFi, and washer/dryer, every comfort is accounted for.
The family-sized pool, framed by palm trees and lush landscaping, feels like your own private resort. It can be heated for an additional fee and is fully enclosed within a fenced backyard for maximum privacy and peace of mind. Ample parking, a two-car garage, and a gated side yard for trailer storage make logistics easy for even large groups.
Just minutes away, the unspoiled stretch of Coco Plum Beach awaits—perfect for sunrise strolls, sandcastle sessions, or golden-hour swims. But truthfully, you may never want to leave the comfort of 15 Swaying Palms. From sunrise coffees on the screened balcony, to kids cannonballing off the dock, to evenings under a canopy of stars, every corner of this home invites you to relax deeper, laugh louder, and live fully. Whether you’re chasing adventure, family connection, or total peace, this isn’t just a vacation home—it’s the backdrop to your next unforgettable story in the Keys.
Guest access There’s ample parking for multiple vehicles, including a two-car garage and a gated side yard for secure boat trailer storage. With generous dock space and shore power, the property easily accommodates multiple vessels, making it ideal for serious boaters and water lovers alike.

Beautiful setting
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful vacation home! The house itself is large, spacious, and perfect for multiple families — everyone had plenty of room to relax and enjoy themselves. It's just a short drive to the beach, which made it super convenient for quick trips back and forth throughout the day.The property is absolutely stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds, a great pool, and a private dock that added something really special to our time there. Whether we were lounging by the pool, enjoying meals together, or watching the sunset from the rooftop, every moment felt like a true getaway.The owner was incredibly friendly and easy to reach, which made the entire experience even more seamless. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious and relaxing escape!

Wow...What a house
We felt like royalty living in this house. Traveling with young children not always the easiest but the pool, the media room and the fact that we were able to park our boat at the end of the dock made everybody very happy. We went off in the boat a few times and saw pelicans, dolphins and actually swam with the fish. The Coco Plum beach a short walk away. We had such a great time.

Great location
We had 9 in the house over New Years and enjoyed our time there. The interior of the house was clean and well presented and beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and the grill was clean and worked well. Outside the home there were things lying around that could have been picked up - broken kayak paddles, inflatables, some trash. Probably all left by the last renters.The owner was very responsive to our needs. We had torrential rain one day that left the pool a mess and he had his pool person out early the next day to take care of it.The deep water dock is great if you have a boat, but if you want to kayak this house has a great floating dock for kayaks. It's so much easier to launch from the floating dock. If you want to kayak be sure to rent from a local provider, the kayaks visible in the home photos have been badly abused by previous renters and are only good for playing around nearby. If you want to go out for longer, rentals are perfect (we used Keys Kayak).

Summer Family Vaca
Perfect location for our Family. Had Grandfather & Grandchildren & great Grandchildren. Everybody had plenty of space. Very nice/large kitchen. Very nice balcony. Location was very accessible to the ocean, probably 10 minutes. Very nice dock. Bait freezer and fish cleaning station are especially nice added features. Kids really enjoyed theatre room. There were a few maintenance issues, but management jumped right on them. They were very good about communicating with us and responding. We would stay again.

Perfect Getaway in Paradise
We recently spent a week in Marathon in beautiful Cocoplum beach. The house is exactly as pictured and exactly what we needed. The owner is very friendly, helpful, and communicative for all your questions and needs. The pool was wonderful and perfectly heated for those mid 70's evening that you would love to enjoy the pool. Cocoplum beach is a short walk down the street and dog friendly, which our pups loved to walk to each morning. Could not find a fault with the place if I tried to. We all will definitely be coming down again.

Beautiful Home
This home was beautiful. The kitchen was very large and well equipt with nice appliances and plenty of dishes for a large group. The view from the screened in porch off the main level was beautiful. There was some confusion about the lay out of the bedrooms but the owner was very fast in replying to answer any and all questions. The pool area was surrounded by palm trees and had enough seating for large groups. The owners were very quick to respond to the only issue we had. They were very nice and seemed to want to make sure that we a good time at their property. I would definately recomment staying here. We had a great time.

50th anniversary celebration
This property has a beautiful tropical view of the waterway. It is in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to a short trail along the ocean. I saw ospreys, sand crabs, chickens, lizards and turtle nests. Proximity to three state parks, turtle hospital and dolphin research. Many wonderful restaurants. The house itself had many amenities, two washer and dryers, 3 refrigerators, an ice machine and plenty of dishes(which isn’t always true of many rentals) There was a theater room where my family went to get out of the sun after a busy day. We spent the evenings in the outside pool, and grilled out one night. Our group of 11, was very comfortable in this wonderful home. I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful Stay and Would Highly Recommend Staying Here
The house was fantastic. The downstairs tv room was a great place for us to watch the Masters. The couch was brand new and very comfortable. The kitchen area was spacious and has two fridges which is nice when you have large groups. The master suite is enormous and the other rooms are positioned perfectly for 2 groups of 4 (kids or adults). The outside amenities were fantastic. The pool area had plenty of seating for sun tanning or enjoying the outside with shade. The pool was a good size and very clean and sanitary. We rented a boat for the week and the dock was 100' long so we had plenty of area to accommodate our rental. The fishing off of the dock was great at night and we got to enjoy a manatee visit on our 3rd day. Our overall experience was wonderful and I look forward to staying here again next year.

Many great places to sit, both inside and outside. Fishing and kyaking right there was a great feature. Owner was extremely helpful. Only negative was the very musty smell in the video room.

The Manatee vacation
This is our second spring break at Marathon Keys because it’s non-commercialized, friendly, and Key West is only a 50 mile drive if you like the nightlife. The dock at this house is phenomenal and we had daily manatee visitors that were very friendly. I would suggest the aquarium in marathon along with Sunset Grill restaurant.
This house was the perfect size for the eight of us that stayed. The pool is the perfect size and the hammock is beyond peaceful in the shade.

Family Fun in the Keys
Appreciated the ease and quick responsive communication, beautiful accommodations and perfect dock for a boat. 2 manatees visiting at the dock, great fishing and pelicans were just some of the highlights we enjoyed. Dolphin encounters just a short drive as well as an easy walk to natural Coco Plum Beach and short drive to Sombrero Beach. Use of elevator was necessary for bringing large or heavy items to upper level. The pool and outdoor shower with outside entrance to full bathroom on the lower level were a delight.
