Stayed Feb 27, 2026This property was absolutely stunning! We had the most wonderful time. The views of the Gulf, the sunsets....saw Dolphins and loved watching the pelicans. Muffet has thought of everything for a perfect stay. The living space was cozy and comfortable. We loved hearing the history of the space and the functionality was amazing. It's secluded and quiet, yet mere steps away from the hustle and bustle of Marathon. We biked most days to the beach....did a few day trips to explore, but our favorite times were relaxing at the property. We did not want to leave and are already planning our return trip.

Stayed Jan 7, 2026Muffet (the host) is such a nice person. Considerate, helpful, laid back and quite funny. Very accommodating. The apartment was great. Had everything we needed. The property is a quiet oasis in a very busy area. Plenty of room and very beautiful spot. Fishing from the dock was very productive using chum from the bait store right down the street. Almost every sundown was spectacular! This is a very special spot. Highly recommend.

Stayed Oct 11, 2025Absolutely Amazing Space! The Sunsets were epic! We spent every evening watching the fish and the boats roll by. Our son caught so many fish! He said this was one of his best vacations ever! Would definitely stay here again!

Stayed Nov 9, 2025This was our third stay at Muffet’s beautiful home. Her home is spotless and the perfect amount of space for me and my husband. The entire property is a very peaceful area to get away from the stresses of life. She is such a kind and welcoming host and treats you like part of her family and allows you to feel at home when staying there. We can’t wait till we can return again.

Stayed Sep 20, 2025Our accommodations were very neat and clean. Muffett has thought of everything you may need. The views of the Gulf were spectacular. Plus you could sit and watch the boats come in and out.The pool was perfect to cool off and relax.One of our favorite dinners was right next door at Key Fisheries. We loved our time spent here so much that we didn't want to leave. We are already planning our next getaway here. Muffett was a warm, friendly host. We loved talking with her. We both feel like we made a new friend on this vacation.

Stayed Jun 10, 2025We had a fabulous vacation after a very long drive! From watching gorgeous sunsets and boats along the shore to fishing off the pier, Muffet's piece of paradise checked all of our boxes! We also enjoyed having a place our old lady dog was safe, cool, and comfortable! Muffet was the perfect host! We look forward to coming back someday soon! Thanks for everything!!

Stayed May 29, 2025Amazing stay. The property is just magical. We spent a lot of our vacation at the property. Best sunsets in the keys. Muffett is the best host and makes sure everything is perfect. We have stayed here many times and its our favorite spot in the Keys. Our home away from home. Close to everything yet very private.

Stayed May 20, 2025What a special place with so many personal touches that make a beautiful property feel like a home away from home. This worked perfectly for our family of three and we were so thankful for Muffett’s hospitality. It was a quiet place with beautiful sunsets and access to both a pool and private water access for snorkeling and swimming. We left property a few days but mostly just enjoyed all the beauty on site.

Stayed Jan 24, 2025We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home in Marathon, Fl. Muffet’s place is pure magic. She is right on the water with a cute little place (it honestly is much larger than it looks in the photos), a great outdoor area with small soaking pool, ping pong, outdoor bar, and numerous clusters of chairs for socializing and just relaxing taking in the sunsets. Muffet was also amazing, giving us advice and being a gracious host. She became a friend while we were there. I will miss our relaxing days when home. If you love the Jeys and are looking for the most beautiful place to unwind, this is the place!

Stayed Dec 24, 2024Came for a week over Christmas after the passing of my father. Muffet and her piece of paradise was exactly what this Daddy’s girl needed. We rented bikes locally and used them to investigate Marathon and even took them to Key West for a day as well. We enjoyed all the local restaurants but the Stuffed Pig was a pleasant surprise for breakfast. We will definitely stay with Muffet again in the future.

Stayed Jul 20, 2024Not your usual rental. This one has a great host that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. This place is off the path a bit, so you feel very safe weather you are there or not. There is a great sunset view and nice little pool to relax in. I will definitely try to stay here again.

Stayed Aug 3, 2024Fantastic property and accommodations with superb views of the gulf coast. Sunsets were amazing. Owner made sure things were right and the stay was enjoyable. Marathon Key is centrally located in the keys, so our day trips to Key West, surrounding Keys and Everglades National Park were not all day car rides. Without hesitation we definitely stay here again.

Stayed Jul 11, 2024Muffet is an outstanding host. The property has everything you would need and more. The sunsets are stunning. Marathon is in the middle of the keys so you can get to Key Largo or Key West in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend!!
