    The previous reviews were spot on. This property has everything you need and more!!! It was the best equipped rental we have ever had. Cannot say enough good things about this stay. Close to all the things... Very centrally located to all the experiences the Keys have to offer. The kayaks and paddleboards were perfect. The bikes were a fun addition and we used them often. The hot tub worked perfectly and was a nice addition on a cooler evening. We fished off the dock several times and though not super lucky did catch some and saw a Manatee one evening! The hosts are very responsive and kind. Great trip and great stay. Highly recommend.

    This little pink house was perfect! Perfect location and the amenities were amazing - bikes, kayaks, special gifts when we arrived! Truly impressive. These hosts know what makes for a great stay and I would definitely stay here again next year. The location is perfect - we rode bikes almost every day - rode to Sombrero Beach and we even rode all the way to the 7-mile bridge and back. The kayaks were a lot of fun - yaked the mangroves by sombrero and also brought them to Curry Hammock for mangrove trip as well. We played games on the deck at night and could hear the fish jumping. The hot tub was fantastic. Although we didn't fish from the doc - all of what you'd need to do so was there! I would definitely recommend this place and would return!

    We had a great time during our stay! They provided some snacks and a key lime pie, which was AMAZING! They have so much to do outside - kayaks, SUPs, bikes, corn hole, fishing rods, ring toss and the hot tub. Thank you for hosting us!

    We spent our anniversary at this beautiful home and it was perfect! The home was immaculate, linens were clean and cozy! We had everything we needed ( cooking utensils, spices, coffee) the host even provided us with snacks and fruit so we didn’t have to rush to the store. We spent every night in the hot tub and playing the outdoor games. I will definitely book again. We have four children and the house would be perfect for our whole family.

    We had a great stay. The house was perfect. We only ever stay at vacation homes and this was the most stocked well appointed home we’ve stayed at. We didn’t have to buy hardly anything extra. Cleaning and toiletries and supplies. More than enough bikes, kayaks, SUPs, beach chairs, towels, fishing poles. Hot tub was great. Dock was great. Comfortable and quality furniture and items in the house. Nice short bike ride to sombrero beach. The hosts were the most eager to help and please we’ve experienced. All of the positive reviews were right this place and these hosts were wonderful.

    We stayed here for spring break with 2 adults and 2 teens. The hot tub, kayaks, SUPs, bikes, and positive reviews stood out when booking, as I rely heavily on reviews! We biked almost daily to Sombrero Beach for sunsets or quick grocery runs to Publix. We also biked to Starbucks, 7 Mile Bridge, and dinner. The canals were perfect for SUPs and kayaks. We fished off the dock, caught a few nice fish, and even saw a manatee. We enjoyed the hot tub almost every night and played games like bags and the swinging hook game. The rental also had snorkeling and beach gear, plus a cooler for our beach day. We flew into Key West, making the drive to Marathon easy. The location was ideal for booking local activities like a fishing charter, parasailing, and a snorkeling trip to Sombrero Reef—all within 10 minutes.Hosts Monica & Roly were great, providing excellent communication, answering questions, and offering helpful recommendations. The unexpected snacks and local dining suggestions were a nice touch. The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, with everything we needed. Beds were comfy, and fans were provided in each bedroom. We loved the air fryer in the kitchen! A great rental, and we’d definitely rebook if we return to Marathon.

    This is a perfect location in Marathon, close to the beach and everything is a bike ride away. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. The kitchen was well supplied and included a number of welcome gifts including an unbelievable key lime pie. I used the hot tub every day and biked everywhere. The canals were fun to kayak. I was very pleased with everything and will be back.

    Our stay here was fabulous! Lots of hang out spaces allowed us to be together in or outside, relax, cook and play games. Bikes, kayaks, yard games allowed for fun outside options. House was clean and well stocked for cooking. We’ll be back!

    Unfortunately, both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton hit Florida right before our visit. We were hesitant to even visit worried about the safety of the property and the condition of the beaches and the community. Monica and Roly were very communicative and reassuring that our visit was welcome. We had a wonderful time.! Their place is very nice, comfortable, clean and equip with anything you might need for a relaxing and fun filled vacation. We even got a great tip on a beach that was definitely the rose of our trip. The only thorn of the trip was having to leave! Thank you both for your hospitality!

    We came right before Hurricane Milton. The hosts were great about staying in touch with us and giving us weather updates. The house is lovely, the hot tub was my favorite - just the right temperature even in the heat! We were welcomed with amazing snacks and water. The hosts touched base throughout our stay and worked hard to make sure we had a relaxing time. We've stayed in several rental homes and this was one of my favorites. The location was also perfect.
