Great location on the Gulf
The property was perfect for our family. Our grandkids enjoyed the boating & snorkeling in the area. The pool was perfect. It was fun to see the animal life from the dock. We saw lobsters, shrimp, yellow stingrays, trunk fish, needle nose fish, small reef shark and crabs. Take flashlights to see marine life from the dock at night!

Marathon vacation
Nice property that checked all the boxes for 3 couples. Each bedroom has its on bathroom and there’s plenty of space inside and out, We rented a boat during our stay so having the dock was a plus. The property is in a great location and the sunsets are spectacular!

Quiet getaway in Florida Keys
Quiet and spacious. Great sunset views. We launched kayak and paddleboard from end of dock. Comfortably accommodated 6 adults. Outside area by pool was a cool hang during the day and then screened area was fantastic at night.

Peaceful and relaxing!
Frank was prompt and easy to communicate with plus accommodated our needs during our stay. His unit's location and backyard with pool plus spa overlooking the gulf was beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful. Key West was an easy and beautiful drive for day trips. His unit is a bit older, but it met our needs. This was our first stay in Marathon, and we would love to return!

Relaxing Retreat
Spent a week here with husband and our two college aged kids. House was great set up, 3 bedrooms all with their own bathroom all on same floor plus well stocked kitchen. Screen porch for morning coffee with the view and the awesome private pool were our favorite parts. Have stayed in other properties in the Keys the past several years and this was by far our favorite because it felt so private. Would for sure return.

Very Relaxing
We had a very relaxing week at this house in April. The house and property were clean. The view out the back is really nice. Sunsets over the water are magnificent. We fished off the dock and caught barracuda, mangrove snapper, mainly (wire leader recommended). Owner was very responsive to questions. We would go back and definitely recommend this property. Quiet, private, and relaxing!

Unbelievable Sea Life
The property is clean but a little worn. The design of the house was great as each bedroom had its own full bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked . We enjoyed seeing multiple manatees, sharks, dolphins, stingrays and a multitude of different colored fish right from the dock. The location was great for biking, walking and stores. Frank was VERY quick to respond to any of our questions.

Needs work
The property needs serious maintenance and better amenities for the cost he charges, there are better options than this one. Biggest concerns were as follows, pool tiles falling off, screens on porch were all ripped and door was broken, linens were not all changed in the house. Will be finding a different place for next year.

Great location but needs updating
We got off to a rough start as host provided an incorrect code for the key lockbox. Then, once inside the property, we tried to use the water/ice from the refrigerator and neither worked. Another phone call to the host resulted in learning that a recent water main break in the area resulted in a 'don't drink the water' warning!!!!! There was no communication from the host prior to arrival nor was there any notice posted to warn us...we only found out by chance!! Needless to say we were all VERY angry at the lack of proactive response by the host. He easily could have warned us, provided bottle water and ice prior to our arrival, but he was afraid we would cancel...yes, he said that!! After the rough start, I will say the host was very responsive to text messages. He brought bottled water and ice that evening and replenished throughout the week. The property did not have any informational brochures about the area, no instructions on how to use the TV's (in living room there were 7 remotes!!) and a few other things we needed clarification on (i.e. pool spa vs. jacuzzi). The pool needs painting and tile repairs but was clean. Description of beds in each bedroom is not accurate on the website vs what is actually there. LR furniture is different from pictures. We loved the location, but will probably not return to this property given tons of other options available to us.

Could be better
We recently spent a week at this property, appreciating the stunning views and overall ambiance, but several issues detracted from our experience. The refrigerator was missing several shelves, limiting storage space, and it failed to make ice, forcing us to buy ice daily. For fishing enthusiasts, a designated bait storage area would be beneficial; we had to keep our bait in a cooler and purchase ice almost every day. The stove was complicated to operate and ineffective, while the barbecue grill lacked a starter and took an excessively long time to cook food. The microwave was initially non-functional, but the host promptly replaced it after we reported the issue. We also noticed broken tiles in the shower, and the temperature control knob was faulty, causing persistent drips in both bathrooms. The television was inoperable at first, and despite a repair attempt, the issue remained until a friend helped us troubleshoot it. Additionally, the living room ceiling fan seemed unstable, raising safety concerns. For those interested in fishing from the dock, please note that there is no electrical outlet for LED lights. The pool was not cleaned upon our arrival and was only serviced on our last day, which prevented us from enjoying it fully. While the property has potential, it clearly requires maintenance and renovations. We also had misunderstandings with the host regarding damage to a locked door, which felt unwarranted given the property's overall condition. It was alright.
