The Manatee Bay has the best of all worlds. It has a large custom fiberglass pool situated next to a 20 ft+ deep and beautiful swim able and fish-able lagoon. The Lagoon is filled with all sorts of different wildlife, including an occasional manatee, turtles, and all sorts of fish. It is the perfect place to learn to Paddle Board, Snorkel, or Kayak. There is Quick access to the open Gulf at the end of the lagoon, with a large dock out into the deep water with room for 3 boats. The back deck of the manatee that overlooks the lagoon is gigantic, plenty of space for socializing and taking in the view, or getting a suntan. It also shades part of the pool so that you can enjoy some of the pool even after you have had enough sun. The manatee even has a heating system for the pool, one side of the deck is totally screened so that nothing can interrupt your good time.
The open floor plan of the Manatee Lagoon is great for large parties; the big great room and open kitchen make a perfect location for spending your vacation during meal times. The underneath of the home is totally open for covered parking out of the Keys Sunshine. Marathon License #PLR2003-00134

    In a good location, dock for rental boat was fine, parking fine, air con worked fine but very noisy and lots of black mould on vents, appliances worked ok. BUT couldn’t use table on screened balcony as plastic rattan unraveling on table and chairs with sharp pieces sticking out, cushions in chairs absolutely filthy, screen hanging g off door so mosquitoes just flew through, so had to spend evenings inside (not what we were looking forward too. BBQ grill filthy too. Windows dirty ( I actually cleaned some to get handprints off, not how I want to spend my holiday) one bathroom no running water in sink and tap fitting on bath loose and looked like it would pull out of wall so didn’t try to use it. Some Kitchen cupboard doors hanging off when opened. There was a smoke detector in a bowl on table with no battery, to be fair we did find one above main bedroom door working, but would have thought a house of that size needs more than one. General waste bins were only emptied once, although note on fridge said to put out twice a week and recycling bins were full when we arrived and still same when we left after 2 weeks. We were only a couple but house accommodates 10, there was only glassware plates etc for maybe 6 people(didn’t affect us but still not right). I had read reviews saying house needs tlc, but was disappointed

    Can't say enough great things about this rental. First off the location is amazing with lots of fish and birds nearby with kayaks to explore the area. Couldn't really have asked for a better experience and will consider staying again.

    The location of this property is excellent — close to everything and in a beautiful setting. However, several issues need attention for this home to reach its full potential.The dock bench was not secured and bent backward off its brackets, making it unusable. The end of the dock was also unstable and a bit unsafe.The pool was cloudy during our stay, and all the pool deck chairs were falling apart. All the showers had visible mold, and one of the bedrooms had holes in the wall. The master bathroom had a leaking toilet and a strong urine odor.On a positive note, the upstairs patio/ grill area was very nice and functioned well without any issues. Also the kitchen was clean and functional. With some repairs and maintenance, this place could be truly top tier.

    We had a great time in Marathon, FL at Manatee Bay. We rented a 24' boat from Coco's boat rental and spent our days in the Florida Bay and Atlantic, exploring sand bars, fishing, and snorkeling or just cruising. We docked our boat and enjoyed the wildlife we saw on a daily basis from the pier, and it was nice to come back to the pool for a relaxing evening. The house is as represented. I believe it is in the process of being updated. There are no overhead lights or ceiling fans in the bedrooms and the switches do not turn on the lamps. Just a little aggravating and dark in the bedroom when getting dressed. The beds were comfortable. The screened porch was wonderful for our meals and enjoying the scenery without fighting insects. A really nice place to stay and hope to visit again.

    We enjoyed the dock, porch, and pool very much. Manatees, pelicans, and even a shark were novelties for us as New Englanders! So many cool restaurants within a 15 minute drive. Minor cosmetic issues other reviewers mentioned, but didn't put a damper on our experience in the least. I was anxious about cleanliness, but was happy to see that the house was quite clean. We would 100% stay again!

    The location itself is nice and close to everything. The heated pool and hot tub were great, especially due to the chilly weather we had while there. The A/C worked great. The house definitely could use some TLC- the recliners in the couches don’t work, there is junk sitting under the house that should be removed, tile has chipped off the pool, the fence around the pool is not sturdy, not all wall sockets function, and the plumbing could use some work. Property manager responded quickly to an emergency that occurred. Good price point for marathon but what you pay is what you get.

    We have rented a house in the Keys for 20 or more years! This property had some great features and some not so great features. To start, the kitchen was big and sufficiently stocked, the pool was nice and cool everyday(Which has never been the case in the Keys). There was enough table seating, which is also rare. The dock was nice and fit our 36 foot boat; there was always some sort of wildlife on or under the dock! We had visits from pelicans, seagulls, frigate birds, Swallow tail kites, parrot fish, tarpon, barracuda, and the best was the manatees! The place wasn't cleaned great and the king bed was broken in the middle, we had a few other small issues as well. Everything was handled in a quick and timely manner! There are 2 full bathrooms and 1 bathroom that is split between 2 bedrooms, you share the shower but have your own toliet and sink. Overall I would stay here again!
