Absolutely Highly Recommend

This house was perfect for our family of 12!! 5 bedrooms inside with house with a 6th in an apartment style. The home is on an inlet right off the ocean. The home was fully stocked with tons of towels, pans, dishes, everything you need. You just need to buy the food. We WILL be back! This is one of our favorites so far!

Bluewater Paradise

The house was exactly as advertised. The house was very clean. There were only two disappointments. When we arrived, there was seven garbage cans, overflowing with trash. Plus, flies and maggots. We asked the inspector about it and he his response was, you know how renters are. Also, people bringing a boat need to know they need lots of bumpers to protect their boat from the jagged edges of the concrete at the bulkhead.

So close to so much

Marathon is a great place to stay. There is so much to do and see we could have spent the whole week on Marathon. Key West was just an hour away so spend a few days down there or going out for the evening was just as easy. The house was located away from the main road enough that you didn't hear traffic or much noise which was great for relaxing evenings in in the pool.

4 Star Reasons

Many pluses - king comfortable beds, central in Marathon, clean house, minimal furniture & knick knacks so no clutter, 6th bedroom great & next to the house. Slept our 11 people great. Also not far to Publix, Winn Dixie & Sandal Shop. Needs - Large pots/pans including big stock pot, oven mitts, measuring cups. We cooked as its expensive to eat out in the Keys & we are all foodies. We had 11 people & we felt the kitchen was lacking for a group that size.

Wonderful home

Gorgeous property, perfect location for a large family. We were a party of 13 and everyone had a comfortable place to stay. The home was immaculate. Pool was perfect. Pictures online are nice, but the place is even better in person. We had a plumbing issue happen on New Year Eve and the property management company had someone out to us within an hour. Very responsive to requests and questions. We would stay there again. Oh, also perfect for boating, the canal leads directly to the Atlantic, great fishing and snorkeling all within a quick boat ride.

Magical adventure

6 days before we were supposed to leave for Marathon, Fl with a group of 12 people, we were informed that the place we rented had a water leak and an infestation of cockroaches. Somehow, someone was looking out for us, and this Blue paradise home was available for rent. The entire week was perfect in every way. I am incredibly thankful and would highly recommend staying here
