    The host was great in communication. The home was very clean and inviting. As it being a pet friendly home, every once in a while you could smell wet dog in the living room area. Im guessing from the throw blankets and area rug.The little things were above and beyond the other vrbos we have been to, such as the kitchen having so many essentials, the bathrooms even had toothpaste and toothrushes along with soaps.The lower outdoor space was very relaxing and had an ice machine, beach towels, and the pool was bigger than we thought it would be. We appreciated that it was heated as the weather was cold, windy, raining for most of our stay.

    Hands down the best vacation rental we have ever stayed at. Very clean and tastefully decorated and furnished. In excellent condition as well. It was so comfortable to hang out and just relax both in the house as well as outside under the cabana. We enjoyed the kayaks. We didn’t use the bikes or pool but this home has SO much to offer. The location was close to Sombrero Beach and Crane Hammock which we loved. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare food including spices and such. Can’t say enough good things to finally stay in a place where the reviews actually matched our expectations!

    What a great week! The house was beautiful and met our needs perfectly. Well equipped kitchen and the bathroom amenities were a nice touch. The beach chairs could use an upgrade but we made due. We were a little early for the fruits but seeing the baby pineapples was so cool. Marathon is a great central key location for visiting all the keys and has some great beaches - Sombrero. Coco Plum, Bahia Honda (this was our favorite)

    We had a an awesome six week stay! A combined working vacation with friends and family coming and going during our time there. We had our 21' boat and trailer with us and the boat ramp is only a few blocks away, which made it so much easier! The home had everything we needed and was very clean! The hosts were available for any questions we had and very helpful. The bonus was all the wonderful fruit trees on the property. The star fruit were in season while we were there and we got the chance to enjoy a few and so did the iguanas, which was fun to watch. We highly recommend this vacation home!

    The home was great - exactly what we were looking for. The amenities were outstanding and the owner was excellent! She was very accommodating considering the unanticipated wildfires in the area. I would stay there again.

    Everything was outstanding! The most beautiful peaceful setting and such a stunning house. Beds were super comfy, linen was all impeccably clean. Fab washing facilities, fully stocked kitchen. The outside area is the highlight, we spent the entire 5 days sat out there with our three young sons. Fishing and relaxing and having fun in the beautiful pool. We saw a manatee swim past and caught some brilliant fish and sharks! We would 100% love to come back and stay here! Incredible place!

    We were all thrilled with our stay here. In Marathon very convenient to all of the Keys (we visited them all!) House was so comfortable and everything you could need was available - kayaks, bikes, pool towels, beach chairs and umbrella, spices galore, so many towels you didn't have to wash them every day! very comfortable bedding and living room furniture. You could tell great care was/is being taken to make this a great home. Melynda was very responsive, helpful and friendly. I would 100% stay here if I come back!!
