Escape the chaos and come enjoy this fully renovated chic waterfront home ready for your next tranquil vacation. Fish right from the dock or bring your boat and head out to boot key harbor towards the Atlantic Ocean. Property has a 35' deep-water dock, a bait freezer, and a fish cleaning table. We have manatee families and pelicans that frequently visit the canal. You can also just relax and enjoy the views on one of the chairsby the dock or spend the evening by the firepit under the starry night sky. These are just some of the simple pleasures at the Salty Air Retreat
There is a Kayak available as well as 2 beach cruisers. Propane and Charcoal grill are also available as well as outdoor shower to rinse off after a lengthy fishing trip.
House is very centrally located with just a 1-hour drive to Key West and 45 minutes from Islamorada. There is plenty to do locally as well, as Marathon has many attractions. The Turtle Hospital is located 2 blocks south and is a mere 4 min walk from the front door. Aquarium Encounters is another family favorite. You can swim with sharks as well as pet and feed the stingrays and turtles. Crane Point Hammock Park has a ton of history, great trails, and ends with a fish pedicure.
The old historic 7-mile bridge just recently reopened for walking, running, and cycling. It is a 3-minute drive from the property. In Spring 2022, a 60-passenger tram will take visitors across the bridge to historic Pigeon Key instead of the ferry.
There is also a new walkway that goes under the 7-mile bridge and connects you to Sunset Grille and Raw Bar for waterfront dining. Island Fish Company, Burdines and the Beach Bars at Tranquility Bay as well as Isla Beach Resorts are also fantastic waterfront dining.
Marathon also has one of the best beaches in the Florida Keys, Sombrero Beach and is located less than 10 minutes away. Bahia Honda State Park is about 15 minutes away from the property.

    This place had everything and anything you could ever need at a VRBO home! It was clean, full of supplies, in the perfect location (we kept our boat behind the home), easy access out to the Atlantic/Gulf, and so much more. The home was cozy and felt like our home away from home. It was a treasure!

    This place is one of the nicest we’ve stayed in over the 7 years we’ve vacationed in the Keys. Located perfectly to get to all we love and quiet despite being just a block off Hwy 1. Clean and well stocked. Bikes were listed as amenity but they had rusted out and we had to rent some. The 2 person kayak was awesomeGreat place that we recommend and would return to

    We had a fabulous vacation staying at the Salty Air Retreat. I call it small but mighty. It’s a great location right in the mid keys and all the comforts of home. The few easy issues we had, we were able to get in touch with the host and it was remedied immediately. The porch in the back was so relaxing and we even saw a Manatee!! The kids loved being able to kayak right from the back yard. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything and then some for small appliances. It was also great having a washer and dryer so we didn’t have to overpack. Highly recommend and when we come back this is where we will stay! Thanks!

    Lovely home, nice spot, location was great. We left a life jacket in the master bedroom closet that we bought, hope that was ok. We would stay again. The owners mentioned manatee, family, and a couple of pelicans that come and visit quite often and we saw them almost every day!

    Cozy, clean, and a great location on a canal in Marathon where you can kayak and fish. The unit is well equipped with kitchen appliances, beach chairs…and more. Two thumbs up!

    The duplex was spotless and very well stocked with the needed kitchen spices, appliances and tools. We appreciated the 12 cup drip coffee maker!! The neighbors were awesome and shared the fish catch with us. Central to our activities. We will be back again. Kevin and Paula
