About this property

VACA-22-386
This ground level house with two master bedrooms and two full bathroom house is located in a quiet marathon neighborhood. It has an open floor plan with a large open kitchen, dining and living room perfect for entertaining overlooking the canal through six double-sliding doors to enjoy the scenery outside while sitting indoors. This serves as the perfect area for entertaining family and friends. There is a screen porch overlooking the canal that's great for sipping your morning coffee or for late night entertaining.

The house has two master bedrooms with two queen size beds in each along with two full size newly remodeled bathrooms.

WIth over 75 ft of dockage on a deep water canal, you have plenty of room to dock your boat, jetskis or kayaks, etc.

Don't be surprised if you wake up to manatees in the canal, as they often visit. The canal is clean enough to even swim in it. But, there are nearby sandbars that within a short boat ride can be enjoyed.

The newly remodeled pool overlooks the canal and tiki huts situated on the dock along with a BBQ grill and "fish cleaning" table great for entertaining outside and still keeping an eye on the kids swimming in the pool.

Attention all Fishermen because our favorite feature is our "bragging post"!!! To hang your catch and pose for pictures. The house has a garage "No Parking Inside" but equipped with a bait freezer and commercial ice maker to fill up all your coolers every morning.

Marathon is a major fishing destination with several charters departing from local marinas every morning so you don't have to bring your own boat to fish. You can also choose to rent one nearby and have it delivered to the house before you arrive.

Bountiful reefs around marathon make it a popular fishing, diving, snorkeling and lobstering area.
And you can choose to disconnect from the world and just enjoy doing nothing but sitting by the pool sipping your favorite drink.

Family Spring break 2024

Our family had such a wonderful time during our stay. We could barely get our grandchildren out of the pool. The rest of the family loves to fish and spent so many hours doing just that right outside the back door. Morning coffee on the back screened in patio was the best. Would 100% recommend this property for your next stay in the FL Keys.

Perfect!

This home was, if you can believe it, even better than the pictures! The layout was perfect and very spacious. The screened porch with ceiling fans was such a wonderful addition. The outside area was like a resort! My husband uses a wheelchair and was able to get out- doors and back in on his own which was a real ego booster. Linda responded very quickly to any and all questions we had. With all the high end appliances, it would have been helpful to have the manuals available. The only suggestions we would make would be is to 1) add a fence on the far side of the house to secure the yard. This would be a plus for dog owners. And the second suggestion is to heat the pool. We were informed, before we contracted, that the pool was not heated. Most of the year it wouldn’t need to be, but it certainly needed to be this January! This is the perfect vacation home for anyone, especially for handicapped or families with children (no stairs!). We have been renting in Marathon for many years and this home was our favorite!

Great place

I originally chose this house because it was all one floor and my husband cannot climb stairs. The owner was so accommodating for our special needs. The house was clean and welcoming. The big screen tv was wonderful. I am a caterer so I cooked almost all the meals when we were there and the high end Kitchen Aid appliances were wonderful. The owner answered my emails promptly. We will definitely stay there again.

Amazing Place! Perfect for a long fishing or lobster vacation.

We were excited when we saw the photos of this place, but when we got there we were blown out of our minds! The setup is perfect! Dock for your boat with cleaning station (and they had cleaning knives for you), tiki bar to sit back and enjoy a drink, pool is perfect to relax in any time of the day, a back porch that is screened with chairs and table to sit in relax in, and a sun deck between the patio and the dock to layout in the sun (or setup cornhole). That’s just the outside. Inside it is very roomy and cozy, and they have everything you need, including a commercial ice maker and deep freezer! Our group had a great time and this house provided the best venue for our gathering. Definitely will be back here!

Best vacation ever!

This house is the best vacation we have ever taken. The pictures do not do this house justice. It was clean, spacious, and quiet. Anything you need is within 3 miles, and having the boat docked right outside was awesome. We will be staying here every time we go to the keys!!

Marathon Gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was wonderful and centrally located. We weren’t able to enjoy the pool, because the water was way too cold, so that was a bummer. We did get to see a manatee in the canal and an iguana visited us as well. Highly recommend this place!

Peaceful paradise

This property is probably the only place I’ve stayed where I thought the reality was even better than the pictures. The house was roomy and comfortable and the entire property was beautiful and well thought out. The hosts thought of every convince from the ice maker and bait freezer to extra gas cans if you needed to get gas for the boat. The pool and grill area is perfect to kids to play and adults to relax. The location is quiet and private but convenient to stores and restaurants. My family of 3 generations ages 4 to 60 all had an absolutely wonderful time.

The property exceeded my expectations.

The property was exceptional from the street to the rubber rails on the sea wall. Not living in the area, it would have been helpful to know about the shallow water at the end of the waterway. Having an experienced captain with us it was not a problem. I know it is not the property owner responsibility to let renters know about shallow water but for novice boaters it really would have been helpful. That being said we had no problems and would like to return for another stay in the future.

Ideal vacation home in Marathon, Fl

Impeccably maintained water front home inside and out. Everything you need after a day of fishing or just relax around the very well thought out pool entertainment area. This will be one that i return to many times in the future. I highly recommend this vacation property and very much appreciate the host attention to detail and fantastic communication.

Perfect Vacation Rental

House was in excellent condition. Everything was very clean. It had everything you need while on vacation. It was in a very convenient location in Marathon. The canal leading to the ocean was great to have if you are boating. Pool area was clean and had shade. Could not ask for a better vacation rental experience. Owners were very responsive and allowed us an early check in since the house was ready early. Their communication was great.

Wonderful!

The house is spacious, comfortable, and beautiful. We saw manatees in the channel, the pool, ice maker, grill, and the beds were great. There were 8 of us, two families of four. It was a windy week, boating didn't really happen so we really enjoyed the house more than we planned and loved it. We hope to be back!

Hidden Gem

I hate to leave a positive review in fear we may never be able to stay here again! We had 8 people in all - 4 adults and 4 kids. It fit all of us comfortably. There was plenty of seating, inside and out. It is perfectly located to easily get to Islamorada or Key West. Pool was a hit! Ice maker was a hit as well! We brought our boat with us and had no issues tying up at the dock.
