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

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.

We enjoyed our stay. Beds were very comfortable - plenty of linens - beach towels, etc. Bait freezer is a definite plus. Pool is very comfortable in the morning but a bit warm in the afternoon - plenty of pool inflatables. Grill is clean and easy to use. Canal is very narrow - we had a 27' boat and had great difficulty turning it around every day - scratched the cowling on the motor because of width - keep that in mind if you have a larger boat. In the kitchen, owners need to invest in steak knives - very few sharp knives to cook with - pans need to be replaced - teflon coming off pans. Unit has an odor when you walk in - maybe previous smokers - couch is holding odors. Maybe replace with vinyl or leather so odors are not held. Pineapple Properties (Meredith) was very receptive when contacted. We appreciated this. Just a few minor changes would increase this rating to a 5 star. Thanks for your hospitality. Vicki

We are so happy we booked with Pineapple Properties! Meredith was quick to reply to my silly questions. The house was clean and well stocked! We loved the kayaks and games in the house and being on the canal gave us unlimited fishing and fun! This was our first time in Marathon and we truly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend this property!
