this neat well laid out 2-bedroom house has the feel of a chalet about it; it was perfect for what we wanted as a couplebut it wasnât as well-equipped as we might have expected; for example, there were only four mugs for coffee / tea and only two wine glasses!ignoring this small issue, the upstairs veranda was great for sitting out â for enjoying meals or just reading a book â while the pool area downstairs had plenty of space for lounging in the sun or sitting in the shadethe house is so well located, for Marathon itself and for Islamorada and Key Largo to the north or Key West to the south; there are numerous excellent beaches and State Parks within minutes (literally!) of the house â as well as other interesting places such as Crane Point and 7-mile Bridge: so much to do!we thoroughly enjoyed our 12-day stay at this house in Marathon: would we go back? very definitely!
Location was good for us in the middle of marathon. We had everything we needed for the week. We were located right on a canal and walking distance to nice shops and a great coffee and dessert place. The only thing I could complain about was the more hard mattress but many people appreciate a more firm mattress. A great place to stay for 2 couples or a family of 4.
House was great. Matched the pictures and great view of ocean from the deck. House was very cozy and being on the canal was great. Plenty of space and house was well stocked. We have used VRBO in the past and this house ranks right up with our other rentals.
Had a wonderful 2 weeks. Very impressive outdoor area with pool and pretty landscaping. Great views from the deck. We spent a lot of our time outside. House was very clean and well taken care of. We loved it there.
This property is fabulous. You can tell the owners really take great care over this property. The home is tastefully and perfectly decorated with very nice furniture and coastal decor. The kitchen is very well equipped and overall, the home is completed with very nice fixtures & finishes. The outdoors is just wonderful. The landscaping in and around the pool and the decks is beautiful and a great combination of date, coconut, and non-fruit palm trees, palm bushes, and trees to create a real sense of privacy and luxury around the pool. We brought our boat (20ft), and the dock was perfect. Do yourself a favor, looking for a vacation home in Marathon...look no further!
My wife and I are expecting our first child in August. We wanted to have a last vacation, just the two of us. This house was perfect for us, and right in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go in the Keys! Would definitely stay here again!
The property was exactly as advertised. What minor issue we encountered (pool side furniture failure) was replaced in a reasonable time given the holiday (July 4th). Easy boating access to the Atlantic or Gulf side. Very comfortable and clean.
The house, pool and property were excellent. We did have a problem in that there was no iron and no spices in the cabinets. I offered to even go get an iron. Unfortunately the response from the property manager was left on our home phone and we did not hear it until we returned. The Kuerig coffee machine had no water filter. These were minor annoyances but definitely affected our stay. Overall we would go back. It is a great spot. 4.5 stars.
