Waterfront Dream Condo with Panoramic Views, Near Vaca Cut

Turn off of Route 1, leave behind all the hubbub of life, while holding on to the infectious laid back, slower-paced atmosphere of the Keys, and drive to the end of our beautiful, scenic peninsula and what immediately feels like another world – memorable, quiet Gulfpointe 2.

This idyllic, amenity-packed condo complex is surrounded by water, and our newly renovated, luxury-styled unit, Gulfsidehaven, has expansive, spectacular views, a welcome, prevailing breeze, and ample privacy thanks to its waterfront, corner location.

With the Keys famous for its fishing and diving, Gulfpointe 2 has a well-equipped, private dock with 8 slips and convenient, direct access to the Atlantic via Vaca Cut.

How great is this condo? Well, we vacationed here ourselves and loved it so much, we bought it!

THE HIGHLIGHTS

2 bedrooms, including:

1 King bed in the Master Suite

2 Queen beds in the Guest Bedroom

2 Full baths

1 Half bath

1400 sq. ft.

Free WiFi

2 Levels

2 Free, covered parking spots

2 Gulf-view balconies

3 Flat-screens (one in each bedroom + living area)

AND ONE AMAZING VIEW

Many of our guests comment on the view from our rental—which, as a corner unit, really does have some of the best seats in the house.

Spend your afternoon watching the serene show from the third floor, wraparound balcony that suspends you over amazing Gulf views—a typical scene includes boating activity, small planes, egrets, pelicans and, occasionally, manatees. Stick around for sunset, pour your favorite drink, and settle into your front-row spot for a memorable show.

Inside the recently remodeled condo, find new wood plank tile floors, new quartz countertops, new appliances in the well-stocked kitchen and new bathrooms.

ABOUT THE COMPLEX

Gulfpointe 2 is known for its amenities and, particularly for its private boat dock with 8 slips (first-come, first served). You'll even find excellent fishing right off the dock.

There's also a bait freezer, gear locker and a fish cleaning station available to guests. Grill your fresh catch on the gas grill on the lower balcony and dig in at the outdoor dining table, which has waterfront views and ambiance to beat any restaurant.

The complex also features a pool, which is steps away from the unit and heated in the winter months. You're just minutes from Route 1, but still very much a world away from the bustle.

THE LOCATION

Many fly south (about as "south" as you can get in the U.S.!) for the Keys' world-famous fishing, diving and boating. The Keys phenomenal fishing offerings include offshore, reef/wreck & backcountry. For snorkelers and scuba divers, start on the barrier reef with Looe Key or Sombrero Reef; there are also great snorkeling spots right off the beaches in Marathon and nearby Bahia Honda.

For more of a "sun worshipper" vacation, superb beaches nearby include Sombrero Beach and Coco Plum in Marathon and Calusa, Loggerhead, and mile long Sandspur beaches at Bahia Honda.
Cross iconic Seven Mile Bridge on your way to Bahia Honda or Key West for sightseeing, shopping, dining, nightlife and more. Nature and marine life lovers have several options for observing and learning in Marathon, including the Dolphin Research Center, the Turtle Hospital, Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters and the National Key Deer Refuge on neighboring Big Pine Key.

To keep you supplied, well-fed and ready to go, Marathon has great restaurants, full-service marinas, bait & tackle stores, marine stores, dive shops, grocery stores, Home Depot, Walgreens, etc. Everything a convenient, easy 5-10 minute drive from Gulfsidehaven.

Please note that the unit is not wheelchair accessible. Pets are not permitted. Smoking is not permitted. Maximum five people per stay.

15% discount offered for stays of 28 days.

Excellent Location
We enjoyed our time at this property, great view, very relaxing and well appointed condo. Located close to restaurant's and other activities. Middle Key Marathon is a great base for exploring other Keys, short drive to Key West. Don’t miss Sombrero Beach. Would stay here again if back in the Keys.

Great Place for Adventure
We had a great stay here. Loved fishing off the dock. It was a great middle location for us to have quick trips up and down the Keys throughout the week. We were able to see sea turtles, two manatees, lots of fish, a wide variety of natural birds and a couple shark from the unit and doc. Unit was better than expected, and so much wildlife observable from the unit. The owner's were great at communicating, and left lots of recommendations. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Stay!
We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties. This is among the very best of them. Everything was as described, actually even better. Super comfortable and quiet. Every convenience of home waiting for us ready to go. The views are amazing! Fished off the dock and caught Mangrove Snapper and Grunt. Condo is close to local restaurants. I would most definitely stay here again. Just book it!

Amazing location for a Keys vacation!
This was a wonderful place for our family to stay on our first Keys vacation. The view from the porches was amazing. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset every evening. The local host and the owner were very resposive to any issue and recommended lots of places to eat and visit. The local residents were very friendly and helpful. We frequented the dock every evening to fish. We caught many species of fish and was able to keep 3 snapper for supper one night. They were delicious! The condon was very clean and well supplied. The beach towels, chairs, pool toys and fishing gear was a very nice addition. The pool was a nice size and very convenient. The week went quicker than we wanted! We hope to come back again soon!

Wedding Anniversary
My wife and I stayed at this condo for 1 week last year and had a wonderful time. So much so we decided to come back and spend 2 weeks celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Wonderful views, great fishing from the boat dock and close to several nice restaurants. Thanks again for providing the fishing rods and tackle. Heidi and Mike are wonderful hosts!

The Views! WOW!
House was immaculate. The attention to detail was second to none. Including the little things like night lights that came on automatically, the extra outlets throughout house, and the USB ports in bedrooms didn’t go unnoticed. Comfortable furniture and the bedding was so soft. Love that every switch was labeled so it was easy to figure out. Gracious hosts and local resident Lorraine was very nice.

Home in paradise
The description on this property was very accurate. We were a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys. We enjoyed fishing on the docks and caught lots of fish (and released). Kitchen was wonderfully stocked with all those unthinkable things like spices, cooking spray, etc. The start up kit was very helpful. Also, the host gave us some very helpful tips for our trip in, like to secure provisions in Florida City before heading down to the islands, where prices increase. They also labeled everything around the condo for ease of use. The pool was wonderful. Everyone we met in the community was a pleasure and several offered restaurant suggestions or tips for the boys on fishing. We would absolutely recommend staying at this property. Hopefully we will be able to come back again soon! It truly felt like home away from home. Thank you to The Schlueter's for having us!

First visit to the Keys
Our 17 year old asked to visit the Florida Keys for vacation this summer. We are so glad we picked Marathon for our trip. There are many great restaurants options, a couple of ice-cream options, and moderate drives to do many things along the keys. We were easily able to meet friends for a fishing day, travel to Key West got s day trip, go to Looe Key for snorkeling on the reef, and still enjoy sunsets off of the back balcony. We would definitely recommend this property for your vacation to the Florida Keys.

Lovely Condo
This is a beautiful condo in a picturesque setting. The place is well-maintained and is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The view of the Gulf from 2 different balconies is spectacular. We spent many pleasant hours watching birds, iguanas and passing boats while reading on the balconies. The grounds are quiet and loaded with pretty flowers. All-in-all, a top class condo. One word of caution for seniors or for those who are physically challenged: the stairs up to the bedroom level are quite steep and have shallow treads, making them a bit challenging if you have any sort of physical limitations or balance issues.
