If you want a place that'll actually stay cool in the keys heat this is the spot!!! We've been too the keys often and stayed at many vacation properties and this one is the best temperature wise! I'd rather be comfortable! The seaweed and sandfleas are not for the weak!!!
We had a wonderful time at this property. The home was clean and well cared for. The furniture was comfortable and in good shape. Everything you needed for preparing meals, including some spices. (No storage containers for leftovers, so buy ziplocs if you're like us and always have leftovers.) The view was gorgeous. We saw so many birds at low tide picking through the sea grass for their meals. The kayaks were a definite bonus. The water was clear and shallow. Definitely bring some good water shoes if you're not a fan of walking through the sea grass to get out onto the water. The bed and the pillows were comfortable. Linens and towels were provided, along with access to a washer and dryer. The only "challenge" we had was extra noise - the air conditioners were noisy, and the road noise was there, but expected with where the house is. The neighboring house is very close. It is also a short term rental with lots of yard games and a couple of units. (Cornhole would be an awesome addition to this property) They were inside and quiet by 11, so it wasn't too bad. We used the fire pit one night and enjoyed it. The location was fantastic. Right in the middle of the keys, so a good spot to head out and explore from. Marathon is close and has everything you might need while in the keys. I would stay again!
A tranquil beachfront getaway with white sands, swaying palms, and stunning ocean view
This was the perfect vacation spot for my husband and I. Perfect sunrise & Sunsets about 49 minutes from Key West. A 10 minute drive to Sombrera beach. This was perfect to get a at from daily hustle and bustle and relax. Was perfect quiet get away just what we needed .
We loved our location as we were trying to find a place central to things we wanted to do. We went to Key West a couple of days. We also spent a day in Islamorada at Theater of the Seas. Andrew was easy to contact and very responsive to our questions. We stayed 7 nights and only saw our neighbors one night. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We only were given 2 rolls of toilet paper for the week so it was close to running out but we made do. There could have been some soap for the bathroom to wash hands but we made do by just buying a bottle at the dollar store. We looked everywhere but didn't see a pizza cutter....other than that we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place and we are already thinking about coming back someday! Thank you for a wonderful 10 yr anniversary week! kitchen
Amazing ocean front views. Sunrises spectacular right out the front door. Cleanest place we have been in. Andy was very quick to respond to our questions. Never have returned to the same place when visiting my son but I will definitely return to this place. Thank you Andy.
Love the basically private beach, proximity to "downtown" marathon and options for outdoor activities. There is really nothing neg to say. Thanks again andrew
Our second trip to Marathon. We stayed on the other side of the same property this trip. Beautiful place, very clean. Sunrises are a must see. Absolutely breathtaking and the view at this property couldnât be better. Had a wonderful, peaceful trip. Canât wait to go back and canât imagine staying anywhere else.
Such a wonderful location and property. Great for exploring the keys. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Lovely folded towels at the start of our stay was a beautiful touch. Very quiet and plenty of lovely restaurants and attractions nearby. We would love to stay again! Thank you

Great location. Nice upgrades in kitchen and bathroom. Living room ac didnât work correctly. It was reported but never fixed. The dining room fan and light didnât work. Kitchen light went out on the 3rd day. The light socket on lamp by from door was falling apart. (Unsafe) The outside beach area was covered with trash. I spent about an hour picking broken glass and trash. It wasnât the situation but we made the best of it and had and great time. We wonât go back.
First of all...the very first picture online is not the property. I'm not sure where it is but it is not this property. The property is right on the ocean and is a nice beach but does have lots of grass in the water. The bedroom picture, the picture with pelicans on the dock are also not this property.
The owner is not very communicative. There was supposed to be an inspection while we were there and I left him a message about it. No answer from owner, no text or any kind of communication.
The stairs and the wooden railing need to be updated. The stairs themselves are warped and the railing is loose so be careful. The AC in the living is not working the way it should but it did keep the room cool enough to be comfortable.
Positive things are that the couches, table etc were awesome. The kitchen has everything that you need but it doesn't have a dishwasher. It didn't matter for the two of us but it might for others. It also has an icemaker in the refrigerator but it doesn't work so you have to break out ice cubes from trays and refill. The property was very clean but the outside was more scattered.
We did have a good time. The property isn't perfect but it was comfortable and was a nice place to come home to at the end of a busy day of touristing in the Florida Keys!
location is great. close enough to marathon for easy access to activities and restaurants, but far enough away to avoid heavy traffic and crowds.
clean property. excellent communication with owner when needed. nice private beach on which to sit and relax or read or just bird watch. have already booked same property for christmas this year.
We loved being on the water. The creatures that live in the water in the Keys were remarkable to see. The area around the property was quiet and well kept. The inside of our bungalow was very comfortable and well stocked. We loved it and will most likely be back next year.
This place is beautiful. Itâs not really for swimming due to all the sea grass but it was perfect otherwise. The property manager was very fast at responding to questions. Itâs centrally located which was fantastic! The house itself could have used a good cleaning due to cobwebs and ants but otherwise it was the perfect size for the two of us! We loved it!
