Direct Oceanfront - Labor Day Week Discounted!

DIRECT OCEANFRONT, fully updated, ground floor, single-family Home; 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths. The home is all new and beautiful!! 50 feet of deepwater dockage with immediate access to the Ocean and Gulf and a gas dock right around the corner. Amazing views of the Atlantic and beyond. Now, with a pool just steps away from the ocean.


This carefree classic 'Keys' home is located in a very quiet, established neighborhood. There are no mobile homes, vacant lots, or trash of any kind anywhere near the home. Conveniently and centrally located with various food options, including the really good local fish market and restaurant within walking distance!
The Lobster House has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and sleeps up to 8. The kitchen is completely furnished with everything you will need to cook your catch! There is a large covered patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with a barbecue and plenty of seating for a crowd. The pool is just ten feet away from the ocean.
Dock up to a 40 ft boat out your back door; water is 7 feet deep at the dock at low tide. Boat rentals are available just 3 mins away. Fishermen, we have it all! Bait freezer, cleaning table, and a grill to cook your catch! And the green light brings the fish in at night.

If you have any questions, just hit the "contact host" button, enter your dates, and it will be sent directly to me. Please feel free to contact me anytime, day or night. Looking forward to helping you book your amazing oceanfront vacation.
Pool heat or chill is available for $250 per week. You are welcome to arrange this in
advance. But if you're not sure, try it out when you get there and just let us know if
you would like us to turn the heater/chiller on.

Family vacation

We had a great stay on the water in beautiful Marathon. There were a few hiccups with things in the house but the owner was extremely responsive in assisting us. The house is centrally located in the keys and offered a great place to anchor our stay for exploring many of the keys.

Perfect Location!

We had a wonderful stay! The dock was perfect for fishing, launching kayaks/paddle boards and just sitting with a drink watching the manatees and gorgeous sunsets! The deeper area in front of the dock was great for fishing/docking larger boats. Further out are shallow sea grass beds that were perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding without having to worry about boat traffic! The house was clean and had everything we needed for an awesome week in the Keys!

Nice place on the water

We enjoyed our week at this house. We had great weather and really enjoyed being right on the water with lots of outdoor seating. Hot tub was also nice. We saw manatees and a dolphin but we didn’t swim much cause we also saw what we think was a good sized shark our first day. The neighborhood is nothing special and not a great area to go for walks with the busy road but the house was very nice. Lots of great restaurants in the area too!

A Little Slice of Paradise

The beauty of this property is outstanding. The amenities and proximity to everything we wanted to do made our trip so much fun. We watched manatees off the dock, fished, lay out in the sun, and enjoyed the hot tub and patio. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space and enough bathrooms, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed! Having a washer and dryer was a big bonus too! The owners were easily available whenever needed, and any hang up was quickly taken care of so our trip could be as relaxing and laid back as possible. We will definitely be booking this property again- I cannot recommend enough!

Amazing Vacation

The Lobster House was exactly what we wanted in a vacation rental. The home was spacious, and with 6 adults, three bathrooms was a plus. However the overall flow of the house was great. Huge open concept where we were able to gather as a family. The patio/ dock is crazy good! We ate under the roof, complete with ceiling fan. We used the hot tub and loungers, and fished from the deep water dock each day. We also saw Manatees several times from the dock. You cannot go wrong with April and Mark’s rental. Truly one of the best VRBO rentals we have ever stayed in.
