Manatee Bay , Pool table, Jacuzzi, Pool, Kayaks, REDUCED RATES AVAIL NOW<br>

The Manatee Bay has the best of all worlds. It has a large custom fiberglass pool situated next to a 20 ft+ deep and beautiful swim able and fish-able lagoon. The Lagoon is filled with all sorts of different wildlife, including an occasional manatee, turtles, and all sorts of fish. It is the perfect place to learn to Paddle Board, Snorkel, or Kayak. There is Quick access to the open Gulf at the end of the lagoon, with a large dock out into the deep water with room for 3 boats. The back deck of the manatee that overlooks the lagoon is gigantic, plenty of space for socializing and taking in the view, or getting a suntan. It also shades part of the pool so that you can enjoy some of the pool even after you have had enough sun. The manatee even has a heating system for the pool, one side of the deck is totally screened so that nothing can interrupt your good time.
The open floor plan of the Manatee Lagoon is great for large parties; the big great room and open kitchen make a perfect location for spending your vacation during meal times. The underneath of the home is totally open for covered parking out of the Keys Sunshine. Marathon License #PLR2003-00134

The good life at Manatee

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away. The kitchen, wrap around (front and back) decks, screening porch for breakfast, the pool and most all the dock with turbo bench to name a few. Bed's were great and the jets and rain water in master shower was surpise! Hope they will continue to rent out house with new owners as i would like to sign up again!

Great Location

This house was in a perfect location. Directly on the water allowed us to see dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles on a daily basis. We enjoyed using the kayaks/paddle boards and the pool was a great temperature (nice and warm!) The few minor issues we had (we couldn't figure out how to work the hottub, and a inside door handle was sticking) were immediately rectified. The property manager (I think his name was Adam) responded quickly and was polite and accommodating. We had an excellent vacation!

Wonderful Week in the Keys

Beautiful neighborhood right on the canal. Had a manatee swimming around the dock a couple of times and got awesome video. Some minor things in the house need repaired which i reported so it will be turned in to the owners. House could use a derp cleaning, but beds, dishes, towels were all clean. Id definitely stay again. Wendy was very helpful and responded quickly to all questions we sent her way.

Manatee bay

Location was great. Variety of fish, sea turtles, manatees at dock. Water too murky for snorkeling or diving. Air filters needed to be changed and cleaned. Pool and jacuzzi leaked but still usable. Need more linens and towels. Would stay again.

Best location

After many visits to the Keys, this was the best location, by far. So much to see - tarpon, manatees, sea turtles, and multiple schools of fish. The listing says 5 bathrooms. It has 3, which was just fine. A few lights and electrical sockets were not working, but definitely not a deal breaker. Communication with property manager was excellent, and we would definitely stay again.

Wildlife Hot Spot

We have rented a house in the Keys for 20 or more years! This property had some great features and some not so great features. To start, the kitchen was big and sufficiently stocked, the pool was nice and cool everyday(Which has never been the case in the Keys). There was enough table seating, which is also rare. The dock was nice and fit our 36 foot boat; there was always some sort of wildlife on or under the dock! We had visits from pelicans, seagulls, frigate birds, Swallow tail kites, parrot fish, tarpon, barracuda, and the best was the manatees! The place wasn't cleaned great and the king bed was broken in the middle, we had a few other small issues as well. Everything was handled in a quick and timely manner! There are 2 full bathrooms and 1 bathroom that is split between 2 bedrooms, you share the shower but have your own toliet and sink. Overall I would stay here again!

Could have been perfect

The location is wonderful but it is an older property that needs some TLC. The ceiling vents are rusty, the loveseat was broken, the icemaker didn't work but the place was clean. The listing stated they would supply the first roll of toilet paper but there was none. I contacted the property manager who said some would be delivered but it never was. I had to go to the dollar store to buy a second wine glass as there was only 1. This could be an amazing property if it was given a little more attention

Location is great, the house, not so much

When we got there we were told there was a double booking and almost didn't give us the keys. Quite stressful, but okay. The house itself is in a pretty bad state. The guest bedroom is disappointing. The vent in the room blows very hard so it gets hot or cold fast. Also loud. If you close the vent, the air whistles through and is even louder. Closest bathroom to the guest bedroom is across the house (besides the master bathroom). Not sure what is growing in the boiler/water heater room but it was unsightly. Ice maker in the fridge wasn't working, at least we couldn't get it to work. The washer only fills with hot water. Recliners in the living room don't recline. The coat hanger was broken. The guest bathroom cabinets drawers are rotting away. The shower door isn't properly attached at the bottom. If it gets pushed the wrong way it will break the glass door. Some of the outdoor light switches are hard to find - they're not in one central panel. As others have mentioned, hot tub is unusable and the ladder on the pier is broken. Best thing about the property is the location for sure. Ultimately, some of these things could fly if it costed us half the price, but it was not worth what we paid for.

We had a great time in Marathon, FL at Manatee Bay. We rented a 24' boat from Coco's boat rental and spent our days in the Florida Bay and Atlantic, exploring sand bars, fishing, and snorkeling or just cruising. We docked our boat and enjoyed the wildlife we saw on a daily basis from the pier, and it was nice to come back to the pool for a relaxing evening. The house is as represented. I believe it is in the process of being updated. There are no overhead lights or ceiling fans in the bedrooms and the switches do not turn on the lamps. Just a little aggravating and dark in the bedroom when getting dressed. The beds were comfortable. The screened porch was wonderful for our meals and enjoying the scenery without fighting insects. A really nice place to stay and hope to visit again.

Fantastic Location

We enjoyed the dock, porch, and pool very much. Manatees, pelicans, and even a shark were novelties for us as New Englanders! So many cool restaurants within a 15 minute drive. Minor cosmetic issues other reviewers mentioned, but didn't put a damper on our experience in the least. I was anxious about cleanliness, but was happy to see that the house was quite clean. We would 100% stay again!

Could be better

The location itself is nice and close to everything. The heated pool and hot tub were great, especially due to the chilly weather we had while there. The A/C worked great. The house definitely could use some TLC- the recliners in the couches don’t work, there is junk sitting under the house that should be removed, tile has chipped off the pool, the fence around the pool is not sturdy, not all wall sockets function, and the plumbing could use some work. Property manager responded quickly to an emergency that occurred. Good price point for marathon but what you pay is what you get.
