Canal Home with Direct Ocean Access, 75' dock, Hammock, Coconut Trees & More🌴

LICENSE: VACA020-937.
Write to me with any questions, under the MESSAGE OWNER SECTION and I will be happy to chat with you. This single family home on large lot and cul-de-sac street has been totally renovated with new everything in 2010. Tiled floors throughout, large granite counter top, stainless steal appliances, decorative lighting, modern bathrooms, and a large wrap around balcony with comfortable patio furniture surrounded by romantic white curtains giving you a true resort feel. The home is open, bright, and warm. New leather sectional sofa with 3 recliner (2018). Better then my own home! You can watch all the movies on a high definition 65 inch flat screen T.V. with surround sound. Kitchen area has a desk area where you can connect your computer to High Speed wireless internet (Fee Wifi) for those days where you just got to get some work done. The master bedroom has a king size bed (firm memory foam mattress), flat screen TV, and small private bathroom. The second bedroom sleeps 4 with one queen, top twin XL bunk on top, and twin XL trundle at bottom. Master has streaming T.V. . The home is on a deep canal ocean side (no issue for large boats), 75 foot private concrete dock with electricity and water. Rental includes dockage for ONE large boat. Boat lift on property is not available for renters. The home also has a chain link fence giving you peace of mind that outdoor toys are secure as well as security camera on boat slip area and front parking/entrance (although not needed, its very safe here). Note, no other security cameras as your privacy is respected. You can relax on the hammock under the coconut palms trees while the others in your party clean the catch of the day on our large fish cleaning table with it's own knife sharpener. Home is walking distance to everything you can need (deli, liquor store, movie theater, Kmart, Winn Dixie, Publix, Walgreens, Home Depot, and Park! Perfect for teens that can't drive but like their independence walking or riding bike by themselves to the park, movies, or shops. Family reunion? Inquire about nearby homes which are also available for rental.

Although Marathon is located about midway on the keys chain, it has just about anything you would need during your stay, including marathon airport (charter flights from Miami) and hospital in case you need medical attention during your stay. Key west is just a 45 minutes away. One of the best surprises when i bought this home was Sombrero Beach. This beach is only 5 minutes away by car and maybe 15 minute bike ride. Sombrero beach has white sand, coconut palms, private clean bathrooms, two volleyball courts, children play area with grass, barbecue grills and picnic tables, and the beautiful view of the ocean. A must visit. My teen (adult now) use to love marathon community park, which has its own X-tream skateboard park . This park has four tennis courts, a tennis wall, a combination hockey/basketball court (3 courts), two little league fields, and two soccer fields. There is also, two shuffleboard courts, two bocce ball courts, a batting cage, concession stand, amphitheater, picnic areas, and restrooms. Also, your teen will love to try out the cable wake boarding park! If you want to take a dip in a pool just go to sunset grill and raw bar where they have one of the largest pool in the keys overlooking the ocean at the seven mile bridge (free). Watch the sunset from here while at the bar listening to margaritaville. Enjoy some of the best fishing and diving available in the world. Sombrero reef is 4.5 miles away from our dock. It offers a spectacular reef and is just minutes away by boat ride. The seven mile bridge is probably the premiere location for the greatest game fish in Florida waters, the tarpon. The best part is that you will get top quality at a rate that can’t be beaten.

Wonderful vacation home

Great place to stay with a family of 4. House was clean and had everything you would need for a weeklong stay. Very clean and comfortable. Quiet at night and the location was central to all the keys. Being in the canal was fun. We fished (caught quite a few fish) and kayaked to the harbor and saw Manatee that came right to the kayaks. Just a comfortable place to stay! I would stay here again.

Another wonderful stay!

This is our second time back! We enjoyed marathon and the convenience of the area, It is close to Seven mile bridge (for fishing), grocery store, Sombrero beach, tackle/bait store and many restaurants. The house is sitting on a canal that has many sea life. We have seen tarpons, manatee, various types of fish, and the house is equipped with kayaks to use to explore the waterways. Property itself is super clean, and extremely comfortable to stay in. It also has a jacuzzi that we enjoy and relax in after a long day of fishing. Overall, we love this place!

Family Relax Time

My wife and I, had a week with our daughter, who was on break from college and flew down from Utah. The place was perfect for us to enjoy family time and be able to get on the water and enjoy fishing and snorkeling! Mariellas place was clean,very nicely decorated with comfortable beds! The kitchen was well equipped with high quality cookware and everything you need ! We really enjoyed hanging out in the space below the house . We played ping pong and it was nice to be outside but under shade. We appreciated the kayaks and beach chairs.when we plan for next years trip to Marathon Mariellas place will be one of our top picks!

This property was perfect for our family of four. Everything was exactly as listed and Mariella has literally thought of everything you could possibly need. Location was perfect to explore all of the Keys in both directions. Great food and tons to do in the area. If you’re on the fence, book it, you’ll be glad you did!
