Salty Anglers: Waterfront Retreat with Heated Pool, Dock & Walk to Sombrero Beach
Welcome to Salty Anglers, your private slice of paradise in the heart of the Florida Keys. This beautifully updated waterfront 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation rental in Marathon, Florida has been thoughtfully designed to combine coastal charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or a fishing trip with friends, Salty Anglers offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.
- The Perfect Florida Keys Getaway -
Salty Anglers is ideally located just a short stroll or quick bike ride from the world-famous Sombrero Beach, one of the most beloved stretches of sand in the Florida Keys.
