“RENOVATED Gorgeous House with ocean views from balconies, with Hot Tub & Pool”

City of Marathon license VACA-20-1026
VRBO property ID # 970138

Gorgeous 4 bedrooms, 4 full bath house plus 1/2 bath located on exclusive PRIVATE & GATED Tingler island in Marathon FL, Sombrero beach. The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from this centrally located place.

🏝 The Property

From the moment you arrive at this stunning private island retreat, you’ll feel the world melt away. Tucked behind a secure gate on exclusive Tingler Island, this newly renovated 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath sanctuary blends sleek modern luxury with laid-back Keys charm. Every detail was thoughtfully designed during its 2024 transformation—from airy, sun-soaked interiors to outdoor living spaces made for unforgettable moments. Start your mornings with a coffee in hand on the ocean-facing balcony just off the kitchen, watching the water come alive. Spend your days floating in the sparkling pool or soaking in the private Jacuzzi tucked just steps away, perfect for an intimate and tranquil escape.

For those who crave a little action, challenge your guests to a game of ping pong on the shaded first floor, or head upstairs where a pool table sits right off the open-concept kitchen and dining room—because here, fun and connection are built into every level. Two expansive third-floor balconies give you options: one overlooking the dock and pool for sunbathing or cocktails, and one facing the ocean for sunrise breakfasts with a view. Climb even higher to the 4th-floor observation deck, where 360-degree panoramic views of the shimmering Atlantic and the lush landscape stretch as far as the eye can see—a front-row seat to the Keys’ most breathtaking sunsets.

And when it’s time to venture out, your 60-ft private dock awaits, complete with a professional-grade fish cleaning station and space for your boat or jet skis. With room for 10 cars or even a trailer, there’s no need to leave your toys behind.
***The canal entrance does get low to about 2ft at low tide.***

🏖 Location, Location, Location
This home offers a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility. You're just:

- 2 minutes by car to Sombrero Beach, one of the most picturesque and swimmable beaches in the Keys
- Or a scenic 10-minute kayak paddle through crystal-clear waters right from your dock

Beyond the Backyard: Adventure, Relaxation & Pure Keys Living

This private island escape places you at the crossroads of luxury and adventure. Just minutes from the dock, you’ll find yourself in open water—whether you're heading out to the Atlantic or Gulf, you're perfectly positioned to explore both. Marathon is a world-renowned fishing destination, teeming with mahi, tuna, sailfish, grouper, and more. Snorkeling and diving hotspots like Sombrero Reef and Looe Key are also just a short boat ride away, offering unforgettable encounters with coral reefs, tropical fish, and even sea turtles. Back at the canal, keep an eye out for manatees, dolphins, tarpon, and snook—or just drop a line and let the kids fish right off the dock all afternoon.

Beyond the water, Marathon offers a mix of laid-back charm and convenient access to everything you need. Stock up at Publix, CVS, Walgreens, or gas up for your next outing—all within minutes. When it’s time to dine, you’ll find incredible waterfront restaurants nearby, serving everything from fresh-caught seafood to island cocktails.

Looking for more to explore? You’re within a short drive of beloved local attractions like the Turtle Hospital, Dolphin Research Center, Aquarium Encounters, Pigeon Key, the iconic Seven Mile Bridge, and Curry Hammock State Park. For the bold, local charters offer snorkeling, diving, and sunset cruises, while rental shops nearby can outfit you with kayaks, paddle boards, or bikes for a day of exploring the island on your own terms.

Whether you seek thrills, tranquility, or a mix of both, this destination delivers the best of the Keys—all from the comfort of your own private island retreat.

Guest Access
The property has a large drive way that can easily fit 10 cars and 3 covered parking areas under the house. If you are brining a boat, the left side of the property offers plenty of length to store your trailer.

Great Holiday Stay in the Keys

Elias is a great host. Very personable and easy to talk with. The house is was perfect for our two family’s with people having their own bathrooms and loads of space. The house is very quiet at night and the pool area is wonderful to relax at. We rented a boat and docked it at the house for the week. No issues with access or water levels just ran slow coming and going. We would stay here again!!

Great vacation by the sea.

We had a wonderful time at this location. The house was clean and very accommodating. The pool and hot tub were great and the view from the balconies were outstanding. The bedrooms were large and the family room ( with a pool table) was a great area for entertaining. It also had a large porch area off the family room on the second floor that was a great place to relax It is close to the beach and public shopping area. If you are looking for a nice place to vacation I would definitely recommend this house.

Unique Island Hideaway

We spent a week at this property celebrating our son's birthday. The owner was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the property was as depicted. We were able to keep our 28' boat at the dock behind the property. However, the driveway is difficult to maneuver with a truck and trailer

Perfect location

We were a family of 10, six adults and four kids (ages 14-9). The house was very clean and the owner was there when we arrived. The owners checked with us via text to insure that everything was fine. Pool and hot tub were well maintained as was the landscaping. We rented a 24 foot boat for the week and had no issues even at low tide with the water depth at the dock. The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances worked. AC unit kept the house comfortable in every room. The only negative thing are the no-see-umms…but you’re in the Keys and there’s no getting away from them😏 We’d definitely rent again!

Wonderful Christmas Stay

What an amazing time we had staying in Marathon at this home. The home was just as advertised. It was beautiful and well kept. The kitchen was well equipped and everything in the home was in great working order. The pool was beautiful and well taken care of. We opted to have the pool heated and it was the best part of the trip for our children. The dock was in great shape, and we enjoyed spending time there, even though we chose not to rent a boat. The views from the top deck were unmatched and the home is literally a 2-minute drive to Sombrero Beach which was absolutely great. The homeowner was wonderful. He was in contact regularly to make things were going well and he was very attentive and prompt to any little issue we had. This place is a dream, and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great get away in the Florida Keys! We will definitely be back!

Tingler Island Delight

Spacious multi-level home, with 4 large bedrooms, each with it’s own en suite, and one of which is a mother-in-law efficiency. The kitchen was well equipped for the nights we cooked dinner. There is also a grill downstairs by the pool. The home is surrounded by mature landscaping giving the property a lush, tropical feel. The hermit crabs, land crabs and iguana’s, made for fun nature watching walks around the island. The draw of coming to the Key’s for us is to fish, lobster, boat and relax. The jacuzzi and pool were nice to relax in at night, after a long day of boating. We had fun playing on the pool table on a rainy day. The canal behind the house is shallow at low tide, which Elias told us about before we arrived. He advised us to bring the 26ft boat, versus the 36ft boat, which was much appreciated. In addition, the driveway can be tricky backing in a trailer because it is framed with large rocks. Please note the home does have lots of stairs and no elevator. Stairs were fine for us, but may present an issue for people with limited mobility. The rooftop deck provides a beautiful bird’s-eye view at sunrise, and sunset. It is also perfect for star gazing. The home is not new, but suited our needs. We had a wonderful family vacation, and I would recommend this home to other travelers. Elias and his wife Marie are a phone call away should you need anything.

Perfect Family Vacation

I am so glad that we booked this property for our Spring family vacation! The house is gorgeous & very spacious- perfect for a large family or couples. Every room of this home was very clean, well kept and stocked with essentials. The location alone provides an array of fun-filled vacation options: we rented a boat and kept it right at the dock, paddled the kayaks around the canal and walked to Sombreo Beach. The pool is refreshing after a day on the boat or beach (we had it heated & temp was great). The views are spectacular from each balcony and observation deck. We also enjoyed the pool table with a family competition. Elias is very responsive and cares about his guests. I would highly recommend Elias & Marie's rental properties & we will be staying again.

Wonderfull Vacation

We have been spending February in the keys for many years now. I have to say this was one of our very best experiences. The house was impeccably clean., well furnished and equipped. The location is great. Sombrero Beach is a walkable distance away (about .5miles) and the grocery shopping is a short drive. The view from the roof deck was spectacular and my 5 year granddaughter and I would go up there at night to count the stars. We paid to heat the pool and it was extremely comfortable (90-95F). I already miss my Keys sauna i.e., going from the 100F hot tub into the 95F pool. Elias is very responsive to any request or issue and if he doesn't answer immediately calls back in 10 minutes or less. To summarize: good house, great location and fantastic owner. We will definitely rent this property again!
