Great stay

We had a great stay. Enjoyed the pool, having the boat tied up right behind the house. Everything is close, attractions, restaurants and grocery stores. If you're planning on cooking, bring your own pots and pans. Their's are in bad shape. Everything else was great.

Excellent location in Middle Keys

Marathon is a great choice if you want to day trip to Key West or go North on an adventure or stay put in Marathon, lots to do! The Conch House was clean and cute. The Plunge pool is a great asset! We had a wonderful vacation here and loved the location on the Canal Plenty of room to sit in the sun and my husband fished the canal all week. House is updated and clean. Great screened in porch as well as raised open deck area for morning yoga under the palm tree. :) Note that the laundry is downstairs, on pool level and you need to go outside to access it. Also could use updated comforters, updated outdoor furniture and more private curtains. Besides that, it is a great rental in a wonderful location, we loved it and would stay here again.

Family Christmas in Maration

Upon entering the home we were all very pleased to find the house very charming, well appointed and very clean. Every room was like walking into your own. Décor was very tasteful, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms clean and included everything needed just in case we forgot something. The kitchen had everything needed to cook like a chef (if you need to). We spent most of our time at the house either gathered on the deck overlooking the canal or in the plunge pool, which was the best part of the whole place! We got to see manatee and iguanas right off our dock. We didn't spend too much time here during the day but it was a very good spot to be able to go in either direction to get to any of the other keys. When we were at the house there was no outside issues that bothered our stay. The house being only 2 buildings away from the street did not bother us at all. I guess if I have to say something negative about the home it could only be that the pillows could use exchanging. And yeah the neighbor didn't have to be throwing rocks at the manatee. Our vacation went off without any issues, the little bit of rain each day did not take away from any of our fun. Thank you Paula for everything.....I hope that we as tenants left your beautiful home as close to the way we found it that we could. We hope to visit again and would definitely consider renting The Conch House again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Deb Thorpe and family

Perfect vacation!

The Conch House was even better than the profile reflects. It wasn't just clean, it was IMMACULATE, and we are a picky family! The location is perfect - we brought our boat from SC and were able to put it in the water at the public landing only three blocks away. The proximity to the 7 Mile Bridge cut through gave us easy access to the Atlantic and Gulf restaurants and amenities. Viewing fireworks from Sister Creek was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We did have a small maintenance issue during our stay but it was handled immediately, and the homeowner was gracious throughout our stay. After having a bad VRBO experience several years ago, I was extremely hesitant to try it again, but this vacation completely changed my impression of this type of property management. The linens provided were high quality - the beds were extremely comfortable, there were plenty of towels and kitchen supplies, and the house was the perfect size for us. We will definitely return to this house if at all possible!

The house was very well equipped. All the cooking utensils and dishes and down to the coffee pods and spices. The cherry on top was the kayaks. Location is easy to get out to ocean and bay. We were very lucky to have beautiful weather. Hopefully this house is available next year. Looking forward to it

Awesome Location

Great location to explore all of the keys from. The proximity to boot key harbor was perfect for our kayaks. We loved the calm waters and ability to explore canals, mangroves and the harbor. Our son was able to catch a fish right off the dock. The absolute top of our trip was seeing manatees right in the canal from the home. This more than made up for the proximity to the highway. We used that to our advantage to use our bikes to go to restaurants and Sombrero beach. The home was well equipped, clean and just what we needed for all our outdoor adventures.

Great place for families and for enjoying both ends of the island along with lots to do in marathon

The house was great. We enjoyed the family time inside as well as the enclosed porch and the plunge pool. The rooms worked well along with the two baths and the kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked in several nights. Plenty of parking and very easy stay with washer and dryer convenience on the property.

Great House

This house is extremely clean, very recently renovated, and nicely finished and furnished. The house is not big but is very efficient - we are a family of 6 and were very comfortable. The beds were great and the bathrooms were ultra clean. When I say the house was clean, I mean absolutely spotless from top to bottom. The pool is a great feature - again, not huge but efficient and perfect for kids or jumping in after a day of heat and saltwater. You do hear and see cars on US-1 when you are outside but it wasn't a huge deal for us. The screen porch and open deck are spacious. This was the perfect launching pad for Keys activities. The owner was easy to deal with and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend the Conch House!

Great house, pool and Access to Boot Key Harbor

We enjoyed our week stay over 4th of July. House had plenty of dockage and parking for our 2 boats. Neighbors are very friendly and street is quiet even though it’s close to US1. Salt water pool was great way to relax and hide from the sun. Fireworks over Sombrero beach were awesome and viewable from house and end of street. 4-Star only due to property at end of canal and 20 minute idle out to Atlantic or gulf side. Overall a nice property and will stay again if schedules work out! Thanks Paula for sharing it with us!!!

Clean well equipped home, perfect for our family of five

We had a wonderful stay in Marathon at Paula’s house. Everything was super clean, the home is well equipped with new appliances, and the screened in deck with a roof off the back of the house overlooking the canal was a big plus, we ate all of our meals that we had at home there. The small pool was perfect for the kids(5, 3, & 1) We paid for the heat and weren’t disappointed with the temperature set at 89! Made it easy for the little ones to get in, and hard to get them out! The location was central to everything that we had planned (Dolphin Research Center, Aquarium, Multiple trips to sombrero beach and a day trip to Key West), and to groceries and lots of choices for restaurants, even a few good ones within walking distance. Maybe a little close to the main highway, but it is not easy to get away from, and it really didn’t bother us, very quiet inside with the doors closed. There is certainly still a fair bit of damage from hurricane Irma last fall, but you can tell it won’t be long until it is cleaned up. Lots of work being done. If we come back to Marathon we will stay here again. Thanks Paula.

Perfect house for our family!

This home was perfect for our family of 4. We rented a boat and kept it out on the canal (side note: I wouldn't get a boat from Vacation Boat Rental). The house is fairly close to Coffin Patch and Sombrero Key for good diving and snorkeling. The pool was great for a dip after being in the ocean all day and was kept very warm even with the low temps we experienced a couple days on our trip. The owner did an excellent job responding quickly to our questions and processing our security deposit refund.

Great Escape For a Vacation

The Conch house was very well appointed and pleasant to stay at for our family of 5. The owner was very pleasant to work with via email and she made a point to have her helpful neighbors check on us a few times during the week. We noticed just a few quirks to the home and gently pointed them out to our host who took steps to fix a few issues including a cooling repair and a few missing lights outside. The house is newly remodeled throughout, most enjoyable were the great kitchen and master bathroom inside and a new pool outside. We enjoyed the convenience of laundry, provision of detergent and other household supplies as well as the option to heat the pool for the week for $100. The pool area is shaded most of the morning and partially shaded in the afternoon by the above deck. As a sun loving person I chose to sit out near the dock but others enjoyed the shade. We were quite close to the Oversees Highway but didn't notice the noise much at all unless a siren went past. We enjoyed the easy access to the grocery store and tourist traps. The neighborhood had a mix of older and newer homes and the Conch House really stood out with it's new paver driveway and vibrant color. We had read that there was a manatee that liked to visit and with the neighbor's help we managed to spot it one day and attract it in for some photos. That was pretty cool! Things we enjoyed in Marathon most...Sunday Funday at Sunset Grill, sunset photo opportunities at Sombrero Beach using our phones that looked like a pro had taken them, two day trips to Key West, a day trip to Robbie's Marina to feed Tarpon and a day trip to Bahia Honda state park beach and the view from the old railroad bridge. Thank you so much, Paula, for having us at your home...trust me we are missing it so much now that we are back in the cold New England air....
