Choose your joy
We all found this luxurious house to be designed for comfort and privacy. When the water was too ruff for boating, we spent a lot of time on the large screened porch. The warmed pool water was a real comfort after bouncing over the waves or sitting on the porch trying to win a strategic board game. Late night gamming in the living room still left us areas for conversation, reading or sleeping. We enjoyed various local restaurants, cooking our catch and our one-time takeout pizzas. We found an abundance of kitchen essentials and numerous appliances to facilitate cooking or creating your favorite beverage. The bath towels and beach towels were plentiful. The master bedroom was so amazing that it had to be shared for the experience. One couple enjoyed the master bedroom for the first week and a different couple enjoyed the last week of the special luxury. During the daytime, we enjoyed the master bedroom’s very long wall view of the pool, back yard, dock and gulf. At the end of the day, we appreciated the truly darkening drapes that afforded us a wonderful night’s sleep. The master's access to the screened porch helped us to keep an eye on the sleeping baby. We all liked the master bathroom’s well-lit double sink vanity and we LOVED the perfect walk-in glass block shower.

Best place to stay on Marathon
My family and I absolutely loved staying at this property! We go to Marathon every year and this is hands down best property we have ever stayed at. Alida was a wonderful host and very accommodating with any needs we had. Beautiful property with gorgeous views. They offer so many amenities including kayaks and floats. Conveniently located near town with everything you would need like restaurants, grocery store, bait shops, etc. We definitely will be staying at this property again in the future!

All We Could Ask For!
Our family of six adults left this oasis of nature and relaxation with a trove of wonderful experiences to savor. The dock and bay provided innumerable opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, and sitting on the bench to take in the beautiful view and brilliant sunsets. The property also provides a chance to see gorgeous sunrises. The house was very-well equipped; kitchen, an abundance of towels, a great variety of places to gather or to find a quiet spot of shade or sunshine to indulge in a book or a nap. The hammock was a popular choice. The pool was perfect! Warmed by the heater and the sun, it has a wonderful shelf to sit on and soak in the bliss. Beds were comfortable, laundry machines very convenient, a/c excellent, spacious rooms, quiet neighborhood-close to everything! Our entire family appreciated this incredible location that provided such a relaxing respite! Thank you, Alida!!!

What an amazing property!!
I have experience with vacation renting a property and know first hand that this place was exceptional. First off the owner was completely accessible and responsive to my many questions. The property had absolutely everything you could ever need. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and there was a mixer and baking pans, which is not always available in vacation rental properties. The was a little problem with the Keurig coffee machine that was resolved in less than 24 hours with a new machine. The beds were comfortable. The place was immaculate, the linens were a high quality, we didn't need to bring beach towels, there were kayaks and pool toys...I could go on and on. The screened in porch was massive and allowed us to be outside but shaded from the sun. The dock was so long and wonderful. We enjoyed hours and hours of family time in the heated pool. My family has memories that will last a lifetime. I will recommend this property to anyone wanting to spend some time in the Florida Keys. Thank you Alida for sharing your wonderful home with my family.

We had a great time Thanksgiving week! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The dock was definitely a main attraction for us. We saw numerous types of sea life including sea turtles and a manatee that was feeding right under the dock. We will definitely be back to the Marathon area again!

Very nice house with one issue
Our vacations have been beachfront VRBO houses for several years now. This house was one of the best for comfort, ease of use, kitchenware (I like to cook and this was well outfitted). Not super luxurious but very comfortable. Very nice pool, great dock for a swim or sunset cocktail. Highly recommended. But there is one issue which is not the fault of the homeowner and which made the house less enjoyable. The area is having a problem with a seaweed inundation called sargassum. The waterfront of many of the homes in the area is packed with this seaweed which gets trapped and slowly rots putting out a bad smell of rotten eggs. Its quite unpleasant but it is something you eventually get used to. If that is going to be an issue for you, check with the owner to see if the problem has been resolved. Eventually this will disappear by itself.

Nice Property
Good amount of room inside. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms had plenty of space. Kitchen and living area was roomy also. Outside the pool was nice. The parking area can accommodate up to about 6 vehicles under the house area if parked one in front of the other. (IF BRINGING A BOAT), the dock is nice to dock and tie up to and there is water and electrical outlets at the end of the dock. Only downside is parking a trailer. The main road is very narrow and has no room to turn around at the end or anywhere else if you have a trailer with you. I had a trailer for a 20 ft boat and the only way to get it to the house to park it was to back down the main road about 150 yards to get the right angle needed to be able to back in the driveway and park partially under the house and unhook and leave on the far side in the parking area. Not a deal breaker but if you know how to back a trailer it can be done in about 3-4 minutes. Smaller the trailer the easier it will be. (I would not recommend a trailer for a 20 ft or bigger boat, I was at the limit with mine)Public boat ramp is about 10 minute ride in the boat and about 8 minute drive by vehicle. Overall good property.

No place like it-we love it here!
We've stayed in the Keys once per year for 5 -6 years. This property is not "fancy" but has everything we need for a perfect Keys vacation. The layout of the home is ideal. You can sip coffee from the master bed while enjoying the view or from the living room or the screened in porch. We have had just us, as well as us and our two "kids" here with us (18 and 22), and even with their friends at various points in time, there's still plenty of room to spread out. Ample parking in the shade underneath the house and space to spread out all your "gear" for snorkeling, fishing, SUP board, Kyacking, whatever you enjoy doing. You can fish off the dock or just observe the plentiful nature from the screened porch. We bring our boat and there's plenty of deep water for our 24 ft Keywest outboard. The nice large pool is a bit warm in July but still a necessity to cool off in the hot summer heat. The property is off the beaten path so private and quiet but still plenty close enough if you want to enjoy going out to restaurants, etc. They must spray for mosquitos because off of the property they can be an issue but seem to be controlled here. We looked for a place to buy in the keys that checked all the boxes that this one does and it is virtually impossible to find. It is a true treasure that we appreciate even more after trying to find one like it to purchase. House is very clean, very well equipped, easy to check in and out, owner is responsive-just great overall.

Something for everyone
The house was wonderful!! From upstairs the ocean was always in view. The property had everything we needed. Kayaks, a great pool (heated was so nice), the dock was awesome to fish from, a grill, K-cup coffee machine, beach towels, and close to restaurants and other activities. The best part was being next to other people but feeling like you were the only people on the island; very quiet. If we had questions, Alida was very quick to respond and a great help to us. Overall, this was the best property we have stayed at in the Keys and we have been coming here for 10 years. Thanks for a great trip.
