Great Stay

My Fiancé and I stayed for a week, wonderful rental- very clean, centrally located making for an easy commute to most attractions in the Keys. We had an issue with the hot water not working due to an issue with the fuse- issue was immediately remedied by the rental company. Would recommend this property and we will definitely book it again for future vacations!

Perfect Location

The property was centrally located on a quiet street. It was close to everything…beach, grocery store, restaurants. It was close to the ocean, and we were able to reach deep water in our boat in about 20 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and spending time together as a family!

Charming canal side cottage.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and charming- we like bed this vrbo rental. The pics do not do this property justice. Ideally located in Marathon, this rental is convenient to all keys. Owners were very nice. We used the small pool and hot tub daily!

Great property!

This property was great and had everything we needed for our week long stay. We were able to keep our 22ft boat in the water on the sea wall. Something to keep in mind, if you have a boat trailer around 18ft or larger, parking will be an issue due to the location of the pool.

Great vacation rental in Marathon

The property looked newly refinished, was clean, well maintained and comfortable. We liked the open roominess and big kitchen. The central location made it easy to get where ever we needed to go.
