This property was awesome! So relaxing to sit out by the ocean on the private little beachy area. It is located in Marathon, which is in the middle of the Keys. We spent the week travelling up and down the area. My husband and I throughly enjoyed ourselves!

Absolutely wonderful place, immaculate, beautiful, comfortable, and excellent communication by owners! The location is right where you want to be when exploring the keys. It's very quiet and off the beaten path but so close to everything. There is a close market, 2 minute walk at most, to grab a quick bite and morning coffee. The following photos are your view! Your own beach!!!

Paul was responsive to a question we had which was much appreciated. The duplex was nicely appointed and comfortable. Loved access to the kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and water shoes. There was firewood provided for the fire pit. Great sunrises and right on the bike path. Just two doors down from a nice meat market/deli/bakery/restaurant. Would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed out stay at Andrew's place. The place is very well located near our favorite beach Bahia Honda State park, dolphin research center, aquarium. and cable park. All are great to bring kids to. The place is clean and spacious for a family of 3 with a lot of storages. The private beach is quite and the palm tree provided great shade for us to cheer in the day time. It is great when we get tired driving around. We also got to take some awesome photos on the private beach. The mangrove tree bushes on the side and the ocean view are both great backgrounds for taking photos. There is this land and fish market right next door that we could walk to within 1 mins. They cook awesome food there and also sell fresh sea food as well as groceries. I went there a lot in the last few days.

If you want a place that'll actually stay cool in the keys heat this is the spot!!! We've been too the keys often and stayed at many vacation properties and this one is the best temperature wise! I'd rather be comfortable! The seaweed and sandfleas are not for the weak!!!
