Direct to Ocean! 3BR 2.5B Home with Private Pool, Bikes, Paddleboards!

Everything about our stay was great! We got to see the manatees off the dock, enjoy the pool, bikes and kayaks. My only suggestion would be to clearly mark the step on the grey decking on the dock. We had someone trip on the step and fall, luckily not into the canal!

This property had everything your family could possibly. The pool was amazing and had pool toys and floaties to use. The sunsets from the top deck was a perfect way to end each day. The bikes and kayaks were also great to use. The kitchen is fully stocked and we never felt like we were missing something. The property was clean and very well taken care of. We will definitely be back!

just got back from a wonderful stay in marathon, we were 5 adults. Very good communication from host, listing was also accurate in every way. Having a home on a canal in the keys is a treat, we rented a boat for 3 days, recommend the cruise through Sombrero Bay and around Marathon, what a great day. Plus, we saw manatees almost everyday in the canal. The included amenities were very nice, we rode the bikes and kayaks frequently. The house itself was very nice, clean, and updated. Close to many things, only an hours drive to Key West and having been to the keys before and drove from Miami Airport, this is the way! Never again. Very close to grocery stores which we visited way too often but that's on us. The pool was awesome and the perfect temp, the manager recommended heat, they were right, agree to the heat for the pool, they also supply many pool floats and toys so no need to bring your own. The outdoor area overall was where we spent most of our time playing cornhole, playing cards at the very nice outdoor table, or lounging in the many loungers and chairs. There is construction going on nearby, this is an up and coming neighborhood, but the house is very soundproof so we didn't hear it while inside. I miss being there already and wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

Very attentive and responsive property manager. Convenient location to all places in Marathon. Pool was well maintained, private from neighbors. Toilet paper and paper towels etc provided. Plenty of seating by pool. Great spot! Will be back.

Our stay was overall great. A few hiccups, but Merideth was quick to reply. Beyond the control of the property owner, there was a lot of loud construction in the neighborhood. There was no barrier from the road to the pool area, which was a bit of a surprise and made us feel a little exposed. But by the end of the week, we were used to it. There was an odor in the home which I know was most likely due to being on the channel. However, after a few days, we adapted to it. Again, not anything the owner could have done. Just something to keep in mind if you have people with sensitivities.The area was great (highly recommend Porkies and the AMAZING mini golf) Lots of good snorkeling and the Elks Club at the end of the block is a blast. Overall wonderful stay!

Great house and pool.

We had a great stay! The house was in the perfect location, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and relaxing. We absolutely loved the outdoor space and totally vibed with the setup. Inside, the décor had a charming beachy Keys feel that made it feel like a true getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Our family recently had a week stay at Blue Shell in Marathon, FL. We enjoyed our time at the house, the use of the pool and water access for the boat. Navigating into the canal from open water can be a bit tricky at low tide but is doable and we felt more comfortable after the first time. Southern winds made the canal quite dirty with seaweed and other debris, but that was of no fault to the home owner and would expect with northern winds for the canal to be clean. House was really clean upon arrival and we had no issues while there. We would definitely consider this location again in the future. Thank you!

My family stayed at Blue Shell for a week. The house and the pool were perfect. No complaints at all. Beds were comfortable, home was clean and fully stocked. Very enjoyable stay. The neighborhood was ok and if I wasn't visiting with a boat I wouldn't look for a home on a canal. Sort of stinky and nasty looking

Awesome place. Great pool ! Alot fun things to do!

We had a great time. The pool was awesome as well as the location.

We spent a week a Blue Shell in March and had a wonderful experience. The home is extremely clean,and we found it to be well-equipped and perfect for our needs. The pool was amazing - very few rental homes have a pool this clean and sparkling. There is plenty of seating outside and all of it was clean and it great condition. We opted for the pool heat and were so happy we did since we are native Floridians and would have otherwise not used it as much. We love Marathon and visit often but found this home and rental experience to be one of our best yet. Communication was excellent and timely. We would not hesitate to rent this home or from this agency again.
