Great place!!

We loved everything about this place! We spent hours everyday in the pool and fishing off the dock. The location was perfect. There were several bars and restaurants in walking distance and a short drive to everywhere else we wanted to go. We will definitely book this house again!

The view

The house was clean and well stocked for all your needs. The view however, was the the best part of the stay. Hanging out in the pool or under the shade of the covered porch just staring at the view was amazing!

Decent home. Location on the water reminds me of us 1. Workers pounding nails over the weekend working on lobster traps. Wish I did better research. Grill needs a desperate update. Angles of pictures make it look totally different.

Not quite

The home was located in a very commercial area with construction going on behind the home. Not much in the way of privacy as neighbors on both sides could be clearly heard night and day. Trash rules confusing and not clearly communicated. When enjoying the pool daily chartered boats would go by full of patrons who can view the entire back yard, close enough to touch.

Worst possible guest experience

Where do I begin, I reached out to the host of this property almost 2 weeks ahead of checking in to request the pool heater to be turned on for our stay since we rented this property in the middle of March and one of the main reasons we chose this property was because of the heated pool. Kevin from Vacasa responded with the daily rate and asked me to confirm to proceed with the daily charge to add the heated pool for our stay. I confirmed that same day to proceed but Kevin failed to notify the appropriate resource to turn on the heater ahead of my stay and the pool was still frozen cold the day I checked in. I had to wait a full 24 hours going back in forth with various reps from Vacasa with all of them giving the same cookie cutter response “we apologize for the inconvenience. Our team will look into this and get back to you shortly”. They finally responded with the lock code to be able to turn the heater on myself. Such an easy solution but took over 24 hours to get. You’d think you’d be assigned one property manager who will be your main point of contact for your stay but instead I spoke with about 10 different reps who have the worst communication within their own organization I’ve ever seen. That was evident in my first communication with Kevin. Talk about a lack of personalized service speaking to a different rep each time I write them. A couple reps even told me they wouldn’t be able to turn on the heater for my stay which is absurd since it’s just an easy flip of a sw

This was our first trip to the keys. We enjoyed the home, great location on the water. The pictures don't do justice for how comfy and roomy the how is. The pool was awesome. Would definitely go back again.

Lots to see while in the pool!!

Well stocked property with pool and dock for fishing. Close to 7mile bridge for walking/biking/sunset. Would stay again. Lots to see in the busy little harbor outside the house. Marathon is bustling as well but nice to be minutes from store etc. House was very clean and kitchen well stocked.

Beautiful spot tucked away right near fun food fishing and beautiful beaches

Really was the perfect house for us. Clean and up to date with a beautiful view of the water. Pool can be heated for a daily fee which made relaxing and swimming at home..a great option when beach weary or just refreshing after a day of fun . We thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous Sombrero Beach Beach along with the natural beauty of Curry Hammock State Park. Sombrero beach is dog friendly as well as the small shallow, clear waters of Veterans beach about 10 minutes South on Overseas highway. The best places to eat in Marathon were very close and some walkable -Lazy Days South, Porkys... and others a few minute drive - Burdines, Castaways, Island Grill and the fabulous Hideaway Cafe on top of the Rainbow Bend Inn. And right next door is Starbucks. The house had excellent air conditioning, water pressure and appliances dishes pots and pans. Washer and dryer large capacity and worked very well. The yard is fenced in so great for my tiny dog but just kept an eye on pool and ocean in case she decided to jump in. Service was great when I called about pool heat or initial questions on how to use locks. Three thumbs up and 5 stars.

Hidden Gem of The Keys

Tucked on the last little road on Marathon, it was a quiet and peaceful. The only noise was the sound of occasional rain and the wild roosters of the Keys. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We liked the location so we could do short day trips and yet have a nice grocery store nearby. It was relaxing to have a pool looking out to the ocean. We would stay here again!

Making memories in the Florida Keys

We had a wonderful vacation in the Keys. The home was perfect for us!! Very clean, gorgeous view and the kids loved playing in the pool. Sunset boat rides, lobstering, fishing and swimming with the dolphins at dolphin connect. We made amazing memories in this home and will definitely be booking this home again! Thank you for sharing your home with us! We loved every minute of our week of paradise.

Pleasantly pleased.

We had an awesome stay! This house has the most well stocked kitchen dishes, utensils, pots and pans, plates, etc than any house I have ever stayed at in all our visits to the Keys. The house was very clean and cheerful upon our arrival. Plenty of room. Open windows for plenty of sunshine and to see the sunrise each morning. Plenty of chairs by the pool. The whole place was beautiful! I can't say enough about how nice this place was. We will definitely be staying there again!

We were relocated to a slum area. A added on trailer with hurricane shutters installed on all bedrooms. Says you can dock 35-foot boat. U can’t. Slopping floors where trailer was added on to. Won’t use vacasa again.
