About this property

Grouper House, Lux 4BR, 6BA home w/ pool, dock and boat ramp

Step into this stunning and custom luxury home and feel the stress slip away. Located on a Coco Plum canal just minutes from the Atlantic ocean, this home has every thing you need for the vacation of a lifetime. Designed and recently built by us for the vacation rental lifestyle, this home is fresh and ocean themed with elevated coastal furnishings. Play with the manatees or fish right off of the extra wide and long boat dock, swim in the chilled or heated huge saline pool or simply sit on the shaded patio overlooking the canal with a cool drink. We guarantee you will never want to leave! Grouper House is a private and personal waterfront paradise, exceptional in every way. It is one in a small portfolio of five exclusive luxury vacation rental residences in the Marathon area owned and operated by HappyintheKeys, a family owned business.

This extraordinary home offers 4 equal Master Suites with king sized memory foam beds, private bathrooms with individual coffee/wine bars, smart tvs, and dedicated patio space. The dining, kitchen and living areas share a gorgeous sunset view over the ocean canal. A 55 inch flat screen television is in the living area, a half bath is off the great room. A covered porch looks over the pool and canal. The outdoor space downstairs next to the pool has a shaded grilling outdoor kitchen and bar. A commercial ice maker, extra refrigerator and bait freezer are located next to the pool and close to the dock. The expansive pool has a large splash deck and a paver deck with lounge chairs. On the dock is a handy fish cleaning station.

Over flow parking for vehicles, trailers and boats is available across the street in a private lot also owned by HappyintheKeys and available to guests of all 5 residences.

Absolutely perfect week

We (family and friends aged 3-82) rented both the Grouper House and Super Grouper for the week leading up to our son’s wedding. We brought so many ch with us that we didn’t need because the houses were so well furnished! Large platters, boards for charcuterie- they had everything we needed to prepare and serve dinners for all 16 of us!

The property was so beautiful!

It had everything that four adult couples could need. Plenty of personal space with each couple having a king bed suite with their own personal baths. Two extra half baths with one by the pool. Also an outdoor shower by the pool. The attention from Sean and Jose during the weather concerns of hurricane Milton, put our minds at ease. Seriously we are already discussing our return.

Great stay at Grouper House

A great property and very attentive management staff. Any questions were addressed right away. Listing just as in person. Good location in a quiet area with access to waterfront - beach and canal. We were able to paddle and fish off the dock for low key days.

Family vacation at Grouper House

What a great property! My family and I were VERY impressed with the house, the location, the cleanliness, and responsiveness of the Happy in the Keys team. It all made for a wonderful week in the Keys. The cherry on top was when our neighbors in Super Grouper gave us a mackerel fish they caught that day, which turned into an excellent grilled dinner for us. Would definitely return for a future stay again, wonderful experience all around.

Great Place To Go & Relax

Our family, all adults, had a fabulous relaxing time at this beautiful house. The living area was on one floor with including the 4 king sized bedroom each with an on-suite that included coffee and wine bar. The pool was downstairs and it was amazing. Great size for our family. There was also a TV should you enjoy watching movies while in the pool which we definitely did! There were many places to eat and shop in Marathon. We went to Key West to celebrate our youngest daughter’s 21st birthday. Everyone had a blast! If you are looking for an amazing place to relax and enjoy your family or friends Grouper House is a perfect place to go!!!

Happy-In-The-Keys sets the bar for vacation rentals...

Grouper House was well maintained and stocked with all your needs for cooking (utensils), towels, fishing accessories (bait freezer - separate fridge/freezer and ice machine). The layout allowed family and friends time together with privacy where it counts (all masters with coffee bars). A few concerns upon arriving were dealt with by a friendly maintenance staff same day. The private boat ramp is shared with other rentals by the same management company - that was not clear when we rented the space but it was not an issue at all. Parking was more than adequate, and they even had a separate trailer parking area. The management and maintenance team are AMAZING! They provided lots of information about the rental, surrounding area and go beyond to make sure your vacation is relaxing and enjoyable. Worth every penny! Thank you for a great family get away!

OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WAY!

Super Grouper is THE BEST vacation property out there! We've stayed all over The Keys in many different houses, and this home is a stunner! We had 5 couples in our group and the 5 identical master bedroom suites was wonderful. But that's only the beginning. The home is gorgeous and offers beautiful "community spaces" where friends can gather and also has lots of "tucked away" spaces in case you'd like a little quiet time. The kitchen is gourmet and has every amenity under the sun. I could say a million more things about this home. It far surpassed our expectations and we've already rebooked it for next year!

I will return next year for 3rd time!!

We stayed at the Grouper House in 2017 and loved every minute of our time there. We just returned for another week in May of 2022 and it’s only gotten better. The owners came over and met us and it was like we were talking with old friends. I can’t say enough about Marty, Stanley and of course Kim. We didn’t want to leave and wish we had reserved two weeks. Every bedroom is a master and totally takes you away to an island where you can step away from the family fun and take some time to relax. The bedding was amazing. I have already ordered the quilt that was on the bed for our own bed at home. I want to ask them the name of the mattress. So incredibly comfortable. The house and pool were spotless upon our arrival. We ran to Publix got everything we needed for the week and ate every meal at the dining room table and told old family stories. What a great time. The weather did not disappoint either. The reefs were so much fun and we were able to filet our fresh catch on the dock at the dish cleaning station. Just a few hints for anyone planning on staying at the Grouper House. The owners ask that you take everything with you and I totally agree with them especially during these uncertain times. So plan on bringing dish soap, shower accessories, laundry detergent and spices you enjoy cooking with. The fridge downstairs and the ice machine we’re invaluable. The boat ramp worked perfectly and the dock is fantastic. It’s everything you would want in your own home. We will be back again soon! Nancy

Four married couples vacation

This is a beautiful house and it’s perfect for four couples. The location is excellent and it’s private dock, fish cleaning station, and boat launch is an excellent perk for boaters. The ice machine in the lower level was awesome and having an extra refrigerator and freezer down there was helpful. You will need to bring/purchase all condiments, paper goods, garbage bags, dishwasher and laundry detergent. Salt and pepper were the only things in the cabinet. They do start you off with one roll of paper towels and toilet paper in the bathrooms. Unfortunately, the next door neighbor is doing some construction so there was a lot of noise(jackhammering) most of the day, every day. The cable TV was installed on Friday December 10th. The pool guy came at 1:30pm on Friday so we were asked to stay out of the pool until 3:00pm. I’m not sure if this is the regular schedule but we were bummed since it was a beautiful day. Had we known we would have switched our day trip to Key West to Friday.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Portner

Host profile image
We vacationed for the first time in the Florida Keys in 2009. We fell in love with these magical islands and decided to purchase a home and start our business, HappyintheKeys, a Florida Keys lifestyle brand and a growing portfolio of luxury vacation rental residences.

Why they chose this property

We custom designed and built this home, along with 3 of our other homes, for the vacation lifestyle of traveling families and friends. We think the 4 equally spacious and furnished master bedroom suites are perfect for groups of adults and couples, with or without children who are vacationing and traveling together.

What makes this property unique

We custom designed and built this home, along with 2 of our other homes, for the vacation lifestyle of traveling families and friends. We think the 4 equally spacious and furnished master bedroom suites are perfect for groups of adults and couples, with or without children who are vacationing and traveling together.

The ramp, which is used only by the guests of our 5 homes and ourselves, is a handy and terrific feature for those who bring their personal boats. The dock is extra wide and terrific for getting on and off of boats as well as for fishing on the dock. The pool is large and positioned perfectly with the home and dock.
