Another Great Stay
This was our 3rd stay at this perfect home. The location is ideal.The property has the most beautiful landscaping that gives it a very secluded feel. We enjoyed the pool everyday and the screened porch at night. We kayaked, took bike rides and just appreciated our surroundings. Phil and Linda are wonderful and caring hosts. They are always available if needed. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. We look forward to returning next year!

perfect getaway, this is keys living
This is a superb Keys rental that feels like your own secluded resort. Owner is kind and super responsive with all communications. The home is as per advertisement, clean, and stocked. We loved the screened porch which we sat out having coffee breakfast and evening drink. All the rooms have opening doors which in the morning was fab to let the keys breeze flow through. The heated pool was a treat, the garden tastefully landscaped and very private. We enjoyed fishing off the dock catching many variations of fish, at night the dock light was cool to watch the fish and wildlife such as manatee pop by. Kitchen well stocked with coffee, sugar, spices, soap etc... Would defiantly return and recommend to anyone.

We had a great Spring Break at your home. Thank you for sharing. The location was fantastic. The kids loved riding bikes and we all enjoyed fishing right off the dock catching tons of fish. The pool was also fantastic.

We loved the house and location. We felt like we were at our own tropical resort. Private and relaxing. We had plenty of room to dock our rented boat. We saw Manatees off the dock!! The pool was so warm and enjoyable! We are hoping to book again in the future!

Fabulous property for our vacation
This was our first trip to the keys and this home was perfect. Property was easy to access, clean and had everything we needed. Pool was perfectly heated for night time swimming. Caught many different types of fish off of dock including Snook and Tarpon. Also had daily visits from Manatees which was magical. Would not hesitate to book this property again.

This house was way more beautiful than the pictures could show! It was like our own private resort. Thoughtfully equipped with comfortable furniture and beds everywhere. We love Marathon and the house was in a perfect location. The owners were prompt in helpful with any questions asked. My favorite place was sitting in the pool under the umbrella. Loved our stay!

20th Anniversary
We have been anticipating and planning this trip for well over a year. The home was everything we wanted and more. The check in process was so easy. The property feels secluded and tropical. It was close enough to everything with that private feel. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Phil and Linda were so easy to get a hold of. They even sent over extensive info on where to go and where to eat. It was perfect. We spent a couple days just enjoying the outdoor pool area. Absolutely beautiful. I can’t say enough about how amazing our stay was.

Peaceful Paradise
The house was absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. On the weekend evenings we could hear the live music from a local bar but it added to the ambience of the island vibe, not loud at all. The Iguana which I’m sure calls the area home was always a little exciting and the Manatee that visited us on the doc a few evenings were incredible. We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home.

Perfect
The property was accurately portrayed in the listing. Clean, landscaping and location amazing. Importantly the use of the fishing rods, bikes and kayaks certainly was a real nice touch and used. All in all, exactly what we hoped for. Only issue, and not the owners issue, was that the garbage cans and recycling bin was full from last renters. Plus we had to sort out the garbage mixed in with the recyclables. Minor issue, but not with the property.

The house and property is amazing, a tropical paradise! The landscaping and pool area is top notch with amazing views, plus lots of wild life (manatees at the dock and iguanas, lizards all over the property). The house is phenomenal and the screened in porch is the best!

Perfect Location
This property was in the ideal location. Very close to the beach, shopping, restaurants and activities. The landscaping around the house made it feel very private but also had great views from the back of the house. The pool area was wonderful. Great place to relax. Inside of the house was comfortable and cozy. I would definitely stay here again.

Great vacation spot
Loved the location of this home and the outdoor things such as the kayaks and fishing gear was a great touch !! Loved to fish off the docks and enjoy the water view from the hammock. Wasn’t over touristy but close enough to go to other spots and come back to the privacy our home and backyard provided.

Fun outdoor space
We loved our vacation. We swam and fished every day. Lush tropical landscaping surrounded the pool. We caught the most fish off the dock than we have ever caught before- snapper, pork fish, black drum- you name it! A short bike ride to Publix and to the beach- super convenient!

Quiet, clean, great view
The description is accurate but the real thing is even better. We got lucky and found a cancellation and I see why this house books up really early. The outdoor space is amazing. Pool has a little shade somewhere all day. Pool lounges are super comfortable. Umbrella and chairs in the pool were great and kept us cool. Screened patio has great view and chairs are comfortable. Hammock chair is nap worthy. Inside bedrooms have plenty of room. Baths are updated and clean. Kitchen (and outdoor grill) made cooking a breeze. Tv room can seat 7 comfortably. The bikes, kayaks, coolers, beach umbrella, pool noodles, footballs, and fishing rods were all a great bonus. The house sits on a large lagoon, not the tiny canals like most of the houses in Vaca Key. Pulling off Hwy 1 (signalized intersection, so easy in and out) you immediately relax and get into vacation mode. Plenty of really good restaurants within 10 minute drive. 2 good grocery stores, 5 minutes. Sombrero beach, a good beach for the keys, is very close, very easy to get to and felt very safe. With decent weather, easy to bike to beach, bars, grocery etc…

We absolutely loved the house, location, and amenities! The kayaks and bikes were so nice to have. The pool area is so beautiful and the hammock was the perfect spot for some relaxing time and watching the sunset. Fished everyday off the dock. Took kayaks out and paddled to the local sandbar. So much to do and enjoyed every minute of it!!

There are not enough words to describe this property. From the location to the landscaping and decor, you will find yourself continually wandering around taking in the beauty that is in this place. The best review I can possibly give is that I booked another stay here before I left! Once you have found what is quintessential Keys, no need to look any further. Book now!
