The condo has 1,400 square feet of interior living area plus two large, 'L' shaped decks that wrap around the condo. Each deck has captivating views of the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the heated pool on the other. When the breezes are gentle, you can watch marine life in the water from the decks. An electric grill is provided.

The entire condo underwent a top to bottom renovation in 2025. The kitchen and bathroom have been completely remodeled and there is new flooring and decor throughout the unit.

Local zoning rules allow 6 people to reside in the condo. This limit is strictly enforced. Free high speed Wi-Fi Internet access is provided. The master bedroom features a king size bed with an open water view. The second bedroom has two queen beds. A queen-size bed pulls out from a sofa on the first floor. A large, eight boat dock and heated pool are a one minute walk away. The grounds are impeccably landscaped.

The dock is located at the mouth of the Key Vaca Cut, providing good fishing & easy access to both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Dockage is first come first served with owners having priority. Backup dockage is available off site if needed.

Renters have use of 2 rental type bikes, full beach gear such as beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, pool noodles, and some snorkeling gear.

Amazing week at Pelican’s Perch! Freshly renovated and spotless, the balcony views alone would have been great but being in the midst of so many activities made it a perfect spot for my wife and I and two teens. Thank you for the hospitality!

What a beautiful condo! Newly renovated; very clean and comfortable and spacious. The location is great with beautiful views and was pretty quiet, which was a bonus for us. The condo had everything we needed for our stay. We didn't do any cooking but the kitchen is pretty well-stocked for most needs. The balconies were a great spot to enjoy "Happy Hour" or just hang out and enjoy the view. Bernie was such a pleasure to deal with. She made everything so simple from start to finish. The communication between us was always timely and friendly. I felt like I knew her for years. We will definitely be back!

Amazing Vacation

We had an amazing week at Pelican’s Perch. The condo was better than we expected and had everything we needed. The extras, like coolers, a fishing rod, and beach toys were so helpful. The views from the condo were gorgeous and we practically had the pool to ourselves every time we got in. Our family just loved the property and I would go back in a heartbeat. Communication with the owner and property manager was also excellent.

Spectacular Views!

We had a wonderful stay at Pelicans Perch! The condo is clean and comfortable. It had everything that we needed. The views from the downstairs living room and upstairs master bedroom were to die for. The swimming pool was large and sparkling clean. It was down season so we were the only ones in it most of the time. The complex was very quiet and relaxing. There are plenty of restaurants and places to shop nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Big thumbs up from Missouri!

Wonderful getaway! The condo was clean and well equipped. Great location, beautiful view and very comfortable. We swam daily. The pool was very clean and most times we had it to ourselves or just several others. Mike enjoyed fishing off the dock daily, catching lots and lots of different fish. We loved having coffee and cocktails on the deck. We cooked in a couple evenings, but really enjoyed several of the restaurants you suggested. We really enjoyed our week at your place and look forward to returning.

Great Location in Marathon

The location was fantastic and close to everything you would need if staying in Marathon. Everything was clean and organized, and you can't beat the view. I loved sitting outside with a cold, adult beverage and enjoying the view. Keep in mind, the unit is starting to show its age as the furnishings are dated and some some ceiling areas are cracking. The shower tracks are starting to rust in areas and the mattresses definitely need to be updated.All in all, it was a great palce to spend a couple weeks in December and we all agreed that we would stay in this unit again on a future trip. Thanks again!

A convenient and comfortable “home base” in the middle of the Keys, with amazing views!

Staying at Pelican’s Perch in Marathon was a good choice for our family’s getaway to the Keys. It is tucked away off the main highway, with quick and easy access to everything. The complex was fairly quiet, well-lit, and felt safe. Parking is easy, with your own parking spot right below the condo, and when you climb the steps to the first floor entry and balcony, the views of the gulf are just wonderful! The colorful rocking chairs, the morning sunrises (with a cup of coffee), and the afternoon shade later on, made the balconies our favorite place to sit, relax, and enjoy the view. The condo was spacious, had good lighting, and was clean, with a relaxed and comfy feel to it. The WiFi worked well, the main floor half-bath was convenient, and it was good to have an in-unit washer and dryer to use. There were plenty of towels, including beach towels, and beach chairs, coolers, etc. Upstairs, the beds were comfortable. The master bedroom (and bath) had even better views, with it’s own balcony and rockers, and the other BR had a full bath next door to it in the hallway. The pool was just steps away; we enjoyed having it to ourselves most of the time, with spots in the shade available poolside. We visited the dock, and saw fish and sharks swimming just below us, and we noted others were catching fish. Many good restaurants are within a few miles, as well as grocery and drug stores, and gas stations. Sunset Park and Sombrero Beach are within a few miles and were fun places to visit. We left with lots of good memories, and we all agree we would stay here again. Bernie and Rex were very responsive with any questions we had, and were easy to work with. Thank you!
