Pineapple Properties is the best rental company we have worked with by far. They communicate clearly and they are responsive before and during the booking. The house was in great condition and was very clean. The condition reflected the pictures provided in the listing. The houses are close to each other but the landscaping keeps each home feeling private whether using the interior or exterior spaces. We enjoyed watching the almost constant boat traffic moving back and forth through the cut. The dedicated pier space made boating very accessible, even for just an evening cruise. The current in the cut can be strong and docking requires some previous boating experience, but is was similar to other locations we have docked. The house is roomy and well stocked with towels, linens, games and kitchenware. All appliances worked. We decided to buy a box fan to keep the morning mosquitoes at bay and asked if we could leave it at the house. Pineapple replied that they would send someone out to purchase one for us. We ended up finding one in the downstairs closet. (The mosquitoes were only bad in the early morning and late evening. The fan and mosquito coil pretty well kept them away during those times.) Marathon has most amenities in town for vacationing and diving. We saw a hammerhead shark, moray eels, a goliath grouper, a stingray, two sea turtles and lots of fish and lobsters while diving and snorkeling. It is a little over an hour drive to Key West and worth the trip. We would certainly consider renting this house or another house from Pineapple in the future.
