Great house on the water. Photos and description were an exact match of the property. Owner was very communicative and checked in often to ensure we had everything we needed. Would rent this property again!

Excellent stay with endless amenities in Marathon!
This property has everything you need to enjoy yourself in the keys & fish the Marathon area. There is really no reason to leave, other than to hop on the boat. It offers endless amenities, and then some. No other place in Marathon has the amenities that this location has in its location! If you're keeping a boat there, the location is extremely well protected, and is +/- 5 miles to many of the main fishing grounds. Highly recommended! Divina is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic Place
This property is well stocked with everything you need to enjoy a stay in The Keys! The outside space is amazing and the house was just what we needed -- comfy bed and great appliances. Our friends rented the other side of the duplex and we had a great week around the tiki bar and in the pool. We would definitely stay here again!

GREAT SPOT
My wife and I spent a week at this property during spring break. IT WAS PERFECT. The house was clean, quiet, and up to date inside and out. Communication with the owner was just terrific and she was incredibly responsive to the few questions we had. The kitchen was well equipped. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Full Cable TV in the living room and bedroom. Outside was very quiet, the pool water was crystal clear. There were multiple lounge chairs and two finger piers for fishing. My wife caught three fish. At night water off the finger piers were lit up so you could see the fish swimming. During the day we spotted several Manatee, a couple of dolphins swam by, turtles and tons of pelicans. Our favorite spot was the bar at the tiki hut. The grill worked great, tons of ice and a third TV outside. We will absolutely be back.

Relaxing Spot in the Keys
Super clean and comfortable little island paradise! Divina was a great host-very responsive and visited frequently to make sure we were OK. We were able to walk to 4 restaurants and to Sunset Park. The Key Colony restaurant has happy hour with $5 apps which are enough for dinner. There is also a tennis/pickleball facility nearby. The pool and hot tub at the property were heated and very inviting, even on chilly days. The waterfront view is gorgeous and there are lounge chairs in addition to a cute tiki bar with outdoor tv. This is a shared space but we enjoyed meeting the other guests. There were 3 bikes and Divina said they will be replacing a 4th. We rode all over the Key Colony Community. There were 2 kayaks which we did use but had to wait until high tide since it’s a little difficult to launch off the pier. One paddle was broken and we told Divina and she was going to address that. Life jackets were available and there were also paddle boards, which we didn’t use. Highly recommend checking in at the visitor center and checking with Divina to see what activities are available. We found out about a turtle release on sombrero beach, the farmers market, best places for sunsets, art and music events and recommended restaurants/food trucks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

Quick Fishing Trip
Perfect spot! We found this place and it seemed to be the ideal setup as we just needed a place to wind down and crash after being on the flats all day everyday. It turned out to be so much more than that. Divina was a wonderful host and very helpful upon arrival as well as through out the stay. The backyard is an oasis! Right on the water we were able to keep fishing until our heads hit the pillow. The pool and Tiki situation in the back was amazing and it was an easy decision to watch the Super Bowl there instead of hitting the bars because we were fairly certain that we wouldn’t be able to find anything better. Great location as we were meeting our guides in different spots every day and very quiet out back on the water. Will 100% be checking availability of this place anytime I am heading back down to the middle keys for some fly fishing. Additionally will probably look into taking both sides of the house should I be going back down with the wife and kiddos instead of the buds. If you are looking for your own little slice of the Keys, this is the spot!

Just book it!
It felt like home the minute we walked in! Comfortable bed, beautiful decor and a fabulous yard! The pool was well kept and a joy to take a dip or a swim. Fishing off the private dock was fun, and the location was great if you want to check out the upper and lower keys as well or hit some bridges for some fishing. The house is perfect for two adults and if you have a couple of little ones, the pull-out couch will work great! They also have a unit connected to this one (it's a shared yard) if you have a larger family, you could rent that as well, it has two bedrooms. Divina the owner was also very easy to communicate with, she is great! Don't keep searching, just book it!!
