About this property

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.

Absolutely Perfect

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit was very nice with absolutely amazing views! Went on two charters while there and caught our share of fish. The kitchen was great and we used it for lots of meals. Lots of staple items needed for basic cooking which was so nice. My so and I brought our own reels and used the fishing rods to fish the docks. We were there every night! Would absolutely go back and highly recommend.

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.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was very clean and well stocked and the beds were super comfy. The view was amazing and our family really enjoyed seeing the manatees right out front of the unit.

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Schlueter

Host profile image
My family and I have always enjoyed travelling the world. My husband and I even met on an outdoor survival school (yes, one of those places they throw you in the desert and teach you how to survive), got married just outside of Florence, Italy, and have tried to spend every minute travelling that we can.

Why they chose this property

With all of our travelling, something keeps drawing us back to the Florida Keys. The laid back atmosphere, friendly people, and warm climate are all a huge draw. When we found Gulfpointe 2, we finally felt we had found our home away from home. We hope you love it as much as we do.
