Updated, gorgeous waterfront home with pool, dock & kayaks

Marathon Waterfront Recreational Paradise

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Experience your own secluded paradise at this four-bedroom Marathon vacation rental, where a private beach on Florida Bay, gorgeous ocean views, a swimming pool, dock, and a fleet of kayaks provide unfettered access to the Florida Keys.

Located on the tranquil bayfront of Grassy Key, this four-bedroom home in the Marathon island chain is an ideal getaway for fishermen, boaters, nature lovers, and sunbathers in search of warm weather, clear water, and tropical comfort.

No detail has been overlooked in this recently updated home, which is gorgeously and meticulously decorated to complement its island surroundings.

Walk into the open living room, where high-beamed ceilings and plush sofas create an inviting space that is full of light. The large windows frame the lush beauty outside, while a flatscreen TV and WiFi offer every indoor comfort.

The full kitchen is equipped for cooks of all skill levels, and the dishwasher ensures that they won't waste one minute on chores. Guests can sip their morning coffee at the bar counter or enjoy family breakfasts at the dining table.

In a region blessed with warm weather year-round, friends and family will spend most of their time in the spectacular outdoors. The private beach area includes a private pool. There's also a balcony off the primary bedroom where you can lounge and enjoy the scenery.

Itching to explore the open water? Dock your boat and sail on the open water or take one of the seven kayaks out for a morning paddle. Whether you're sport fishing in deep water or dropping a line in Florida Bay, there's a cleaning station, gas grill, and outdoor eating area to prepare and enjoy your catch.

Guests can swim and fish right outside their door and Marathon is full of all kinds of activities. Interact with dolphins less than half a mile away at the Dolphin Research Center, or learn about the species that reside in the Florida Keys Wildlife and Environmental Area only eight miles west.

So if you're seeking sun, solitude, and easy access to fishing, boating, and swimming, book this beautiful Florida Keys vacation rental today!

Perfect Stay in the Keys!
We booked this trip to celebrate my moms retirement! We had 4 adults and it was everyone’s first time to the keys. We absolutely loved our stay! We spent the majority of our days in the pool, on the dock and hanging in the outdoor living space. We loved the dock and saw tons of wildlife during our week stay, including nurse sharks, barracudas, sting rays, lobster and lots of colorful fish! We also really enjoyed the kayaks. The house itself was very clean and well stocked. Everything in the kitchen was labeled and easy to find and put away which we loved. The ac worked really well and the beds were comfy. We had one small issue while we were there (which was no one’s fault) and the owners and property management team took care of it immediately! They were very communicative and easy to work with. Don’t hesitate to book this house!!!

Perfect House & Location
Our group of family & friends had a great time at this house - we have already booked it again for next year! The house is beautifully kept and had everything we needed and more. The covered patio area allows you to still enjoy the outdoors even with inclement weather. Several restaurants are located close by as well. The view is incredible!

relaxing family get-away
We loved this house! It was beautiful, very clean, and well stocked. The outdoor area was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. We loved the all the outdoor seating, and the landscaping was fabulous. It was a kind of odd location, sandwiched between a trailer park and a marina, but it was very private, which is what we wanted.

Great property with just about everything you could want except for soft sandy beach & walkin water access. Marathon was a great location in middle Keys with a bunch of restaurants to choose from & only a short drive away. This was an awesome choice for what we wanted. Loved it.

Not worth the money, left the house early. The owner was not approachable, the property manager confrontational and technician that was sent Just a shame. Next time I will not use this company and have put on social media the interaction of the company.

We have never used a service like this. The advertisement of the property through the website matched what we were expecting to get. With only a few minor issues we believe we got the value we paid for. Great property for a family vacation of adults. Generated lots of fond memories

Nice stay in the keys.
Great place, good amenities. Fish, lobsters and even a small shark can be seen off the dock. The ground floor and outdoor kitchen is a little shabby, but the rest of the house is great. Would definitely come back.

A wonderful home in the Keys
We had a fantastic time at this home. The pool, by far, was the biggest draw. My sons also loved fishing off the very long dock and caught numerous fish (the people next to us caught a nurse shark). We did have a minor issue with the wifi. We checked in on Saturday and it was not fixed until Monday. The owner keeps the router in a locked room downstairs and the password was not accepted so, after a call to Vacasa on Sat and then Sunday, the manager had to come and reset the password on Monday. We were also vacationing when the ocean breezes were very gusty. This brought in a lot of sea grass to shore which, by the end of our hot vacation, did not smell to great but it is Grassy Key. Even these few minor issues did not ruin how wonderful this house is. It is completely remodeled and very tasteful. No one was ever bored and we all had plenty of room to get away from one another. The pool is a heated, saltwater pool and perfect. We also liked the Sirius sat radio (just like home) by the pool and the handy pool bathroom. Thank you for sharing this Florida Keys home with us. Just a note to those trying to find the home, be aware that when we traveled the road to the home was not marked and looks like an old blacktop driveway between the closed baitshop and the blue apartment building, right after the Dolphin Rescue Center. If you are looking for a road sign you can easily miss it.

Mr. Malcolm M.

Potential to be great.
The house was nice, property was nice, the pier was a major selling point. Privacy was good. Although Vacasa claims to have made an attempt to heat the pool prior to our visit, the pool heater was non-functioning when we arrived and remained non-functioning throughout our stay despite a telephone call to Vacasa and their re-assurances they would send someone over to fix it. The kayaks were functional but in terrible condition. Driveway gate was torn off.

Beautiful home and unbelievable location.
Very spacious home for 2 families of 4. We use VRBO frequently and this home was by far the cleanest and most organized home. You don't need to bring anything other than your clothes and flip flops! So many places to sit and relax. We loved walking out on the dock and looking for sea life during the day. The pool and outdoor kitchen were wonderful as well. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful home, with great views of the Gulf
We stayed at 86 Pelican Road from 10/15/16-10/29/16. The house was great, and the dock even better! Great entertainment area beneath the home with everything you need for great entertainment. The ocean views from the living room are unbelievable, and fishing from the dock was fun. We brought a boat, the only thing I would caution renters is backing a boat trailer into the driveway is a bit tricky! Overall, we had a great time and the property was in great condition!

Beautiful home with lots of amenities
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely rent this house again. The home is beautiful and the grounds nearly perfect (a little less grass on the beach please). We all made good use of the pool, dock and kayaks. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils. The beds were comfy and the living area large and inviting. The only small issue was the cleaning crew wasn't on their best game. Bathrooms needed a little more attention and floors were done too quickly. Nothing we couldn't take care of though.
