PERFECT MARATHON HOUSE FOR FISHING/BOATING
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this house - especially for anyone wanting to fish. It has everything you need: 1. Long lighted boat dock with power and water 2. Easy access to ocean or gulf 3. Bait freezer 4. Commercial ice machine 5. Fish cleaning station with water 6. Room for trailer parking Property is in a great location - across from Sombrero Beach and Publix is just down the street. Loved the convenience of keyless entry. Lots of thanks to Guy (property mgr), who met us for the walk through (even though he had recently injured his knee). He was very responsive throughout the rental process and extremely quick in returning our deposit. I will DEFINITELY consider renting this property again!

Beautiful Marathon
My husband and I vacationed with two other couples and this home was perfect for our stay last week. It has three large bedrooms with their own private bathrooms and TVs and there is a 1/4 bathroom in the main living area. The main living area is large and very easily accommodated six adults. It has a seating area with a TV and a large dining table. All TVs are flat screens with cable. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and is well equipped with appliances, dishes, silverware, etc. You will not have to buy any ice! There is a very large ice machine that will definitely fill your coolers! There is a very nice washer and dryer that definitely came in handy. There are two beautiful large patios. One patio has two large tables and chairs and a gas grill. The other large patio has the very nice Jacuzzi/hot tub and pool with lounge chairs and small tables. We paid the extra for the heated pool and it was wonderful. The pool/hot tub area is beautifully lighted and has child proof gates to enter the area. We used it every day! There is a pool company that maintains the pool and hot tub. That was really nice! This home is directly on the inter-coastal water with a beautiful lighted very long cement dock. You can fish right off of the dock! We had a baby manatee come right up into our area! Sombrero Beach is right down the street! This home is located in a beautiful quiet/peaceful area. We felt very safe walking around this area. There are many excellent restaurants/bars in this area and there are two grocery stores and a K-Mart within two miles of this home. We never had any issues or problems. I highly recommend this house if you are looking for a rental in Marathon, Fla. We had a wonderful vacation!

Best Location in Marathon
This house is perfectly located one block from Sombrero Beach, but backing to an expansive lagoon area with private boat dockage. Sombrero is the nicest beach in Marathon and one of the nicest in the Keys. We rented paddle boards and kayaks for our stay and it was a short paddle from our dock to the ocean and Sombrero Beach. We also chartered a fishing boat one day and caught and released four sailfish, as well as barracuda, a small shark and a boatload of yellowtail snapper. The first mate filleted a number of the snapper for us and we prepared them in the well equipped kitchen. Most nights however we enjoyed one of Marathon's many casual waterfront restuarants. Overall a great stay.

Wonderful Experience
We have been coming to the Keys for the past 5 years or so with two other families. Each year we are intent on finding THE house that we want to come back to. We always have something we wish we could change about the place (boat dock situation, tides, facilities, etc.). This is the first place we have found that we knew right away that this was THE house. We have already booked our vacation for next year. We have three boats in the 22/24 foot range. The dockage was perfect. In the past we have rented a home on a canal and were disappointed with the view as well as no breeze. This place has a perfect location with the backside facing a lagoon to the east so you have the beautiful morning view and have afternoon shade. It was very close to shopping which has also been a pain in the past. The three master bedroom suites were wonderful. The kitchen is huge and we had plenty of room to spread out while preparing our sandwiches/snacks for the day on the boat. The huge mango tree was an unexpected surprise. They were just falling out of the tree and we made several pitchers of mango daiquiris ;) Guy warned us that people would pull up and say they know the owners and were allowed to help themselves to the mangos. And actually, yes this did happen, but there were more falling to the ground than our families could use so we did share ;)
