We’ve stayed at Tingler several times and it never disappoints. It was nice to see and use the new tiki hut on the back deck. Great place to stay for a week, if we’re back in the area we’ll definitely stay here again.
We have stayed at many Marathon VRBO's in the past and this place is at the top of the heap. Great location, great pool area. Kitchen well stocked with quality utensils. No steps to climb was a plus. Even caught a tarpon off the dock one day. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay!
We absolutely loved staying in this property. The house is amazing and had everything we needed. The fishing in the canal was great and we caught snook and tarpon right from the dock.
Great location and amazing outdoor set up. Access to the one bathroom from the pool was the perfect set up! The place is fully stocked with everything you could need! Meredith was in contact with us on check in and check out to ensure everything went smoothly.
We loved our stay! The kitchen was fully stocked, the garage had all the toys, and we caught tons of fish right from the dock. It was a wonderful trip!

Amazing Vacation Stay!!!
Lovely home. The pool area is amazing. We even had a mama and baby manatee visit us. Plenty of sun and shade (huge tiki hut with shaded seating)
The house was loaded with plenty of amenities. Kitchen, baths, and laundry room were all stocked.
Beds were super comfortable as was the living room and kitchen seating. We were a group of three couples. We each had a private full bath.

Just as promised!
Went as a group of 3 couples and the house layout was really ideal, with each couple having their own bathroom. House had all amenities as promised. Super clean with amazing outdoor space! The TV under the tiki hut was perfect for the men, while us women soaked up the sun around the pool. Perfect amount of sun or shade, whichever preferred. We ate outdoors all the time. Double kayak was tons of fun. Loved the bikes too!!! Meredith was promptly responsive for any of our questions. Idea location as well! Walked or rode bikes to the beach daily. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Meredith and Pineapple Properties!
Everything about this property was absolutely amazing!! The setting and location were perfect. We rode the bikes to breakfast almost every morning. We kayaked from the house. We enjoyed the pool daily. Sombrero Beach I just around the corner. Meredith went above and beyond to answer questions and fix minor issues that came up. She responded immediately and was very easy to talk to. We are already booking with her again!! Highly recommended!!!

Great Stay in Marathon
Marathon was a fantastic destination for our family of 4 with so much activity within reach. The Tingler retreat was a fantastic place to stay, and we had more privacy than expected on the canal! The accomodations were very comfortable, and the house was great. We really enjoyed the outdoor living spaces. Everything was as expected from the photos in the add, with the exception the bikes older and rusty, as well as all the fishing poles broken. We bought fishing poles anyway, so these wouldn't stop me from renting again. We kayaked and walked to the public beach - Sombrero, which was fantastic for sunset viewing and swimming. There is access to miles of sidewalks for running and biking. We caught a few fish in the canal as well.

Had an incredible week!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Tingler Retreat. It is well supplied with dishes and cookware, clean linens, pool toys, beach chairs, bikes and kayaks. The back yard is it’s own retreat and very relaxing. Enjoyed sunsets on the beach a short walk away and visiting Key West for a day. Our family all agreed we could stay here again - we had a great time!! Communication leading up to our stay and during was quick and appreciated.
Pictures don’t do Tingler justice. The home, pool and patio were wonderful. We had three generations and everyone had a great time. The pool and tiki hut are amazing. Meredith was quick to respond to any questions we had. Our family can’t wait to go back!

A nice retreat
The house is situated on a canal in a great location for boating both in the ocean and the gulf. The house was very clean and had everything we needed plus bikes, kayaks and pool games. The new tiki hut by the pool was a life savor in the hot August heat. Also the home is very close to grocery stores and restaurants. The property manager answered all my questions promptly.
We stayed here for a week and the property was as nice as depicted online. This is a great location with everything you need! The owners were very responsive and addressed any issues immediately. We had a great time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was Beautiful and very clean. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen had anything you needed and a very relaxed environment. I loved being able to see the pool from the kitchen, kitchen table, and master bedroom. Pool was so much fun to have, although it was a little warm, but we did stay during literally the hottest week of the year. Meredith was very easy to communicate with and ensured we had everything we needed. Location is perfect with this house for what we needed, short canal ride to the Atlantic, short car ride to all kinds of restaurants, grocery, and marinas. The outside hut with the TV was such a fun place to relax. Just an overall perfect trip with a lot or memories made.

Perfection
Finally found the perfect house, they respond fast to answer questions, just absolutely wonderful.
Perfect from beginning to end. Outdoor living space/pool are awesome. We didn't spend much time inside. Right on the canal so we had an easy place to dock our boat. All around a great experience.
This was our second year in a row at Tingler Retreat. House is immaculate. We love the location because we also rent a boat and can tie up right behind the house in a very protected canal. Pool is great. We spend almost no time indoors. Kitchen has everything you need. Great place!
Our family of seven enjoyed this home for a week. Home was very clean and we didn’t have a single issue arise during the week. Home was very spacious and open throughout. Having stayed in several homes in Marathon, we appreciated the extra products in the kitchen (dish soap, trash bags, plenty of paper towels for the week!) Also appreciated the number of large frying pans in the kitchen - something that I rarely see in vacation homes. Bonus- they were stainless steel! Boys weren’t able to fish the canal due to collection of sargassum but they did enjoy the pool. Very conveniently located to the beach, stores and restaurants. We will definitely book our next rental with Pineapple properties as we definitely noticed the difference in the home and it was appreciated!
