We spend Thanksgiving in Marathon each year and as our families grow, so do our needs. Fishing/boating is central to our trip but November seas are fickle. This year, the heated pool saved the week! The house is well-equipped for children of all ages. The kitchen was stocked well enough to prepare and serve Thanksgiving dinner. We loved the direct access to the ocean but note, it’s a narrow canal. We don’t have a bow thruster and turning a boat around longer than 30’ can be tricky in the wind. Patience is required Overall great experience.

What a great house! It’s homey enough that you don’t feel like you have to worry about every little thing and everything is in good shape. The beds are so comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the grill works great! The kayaks and SUP were a wonderful bonus. We had a great dog park just around the corner for our pets. Beautiful views out of this property. Everyone had a great time and we all agree that the property was very clean so not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. We loved the pool and we had 2 days of visits with a mama and baby manatees! It was our first trip to the Keys and it won’t be the last! Jay is a great host! I could go on and on but go see for yourself!
Manatees!!

Perfect location!

We needed a quiet upscale place where we could relax, but get to the action quickly. This house was perfect for that! My husband, my sister, and myself truly enjoyed the layout of the house, the amazing pool, and even got a visit from the local manatee family! It was close to amazing restaurants and had the perfect kitchen for relaxing meals at home. Highly recommend!

House was okay. It is located just across the highway from the airport, so we heard a lot of jets and helicopters day and night. The master bedroom bed was comfortable, but the other beds were very uncomfortable. The house is worn and in need of maintenance. The pool was nice, but some damaged party lights dangling over it blinked night and day. We only saw one roach and it was dead. If u are considering this rental, bring your knives. There wasn’t a decent sharp knife in the kitchen.
