Overall it was very nice. The sleeping arrangements were not exactly as it was listed so that posed a problem for us but I think they are addressing it. Had a few other issues which were also addressed quickly. Property was very clean and a great location.

Great place- with 4 bedrooms everyone could spread out when they wanted to. Beds were all very comfortable.
Could have used a couple more chaise lounges by the pool.
Location is fantastic! So close to groceries, Beach and tons of restaurants.

The house was great and the location fantastic! Clean! Pool was great! But there are some things that need attention (fan and light did not work on balcony, downstairs furniture somewhat tired) and the outside could use more chairs, other amenities, maybe a tv. But overall, great house! Would recommend. Loud neighbors across the channel, but that is out of owners and property managers control.

Was glad to leave…
Planned this vaca to stay for 2 weeks. Upon arrival, turning down beds, 4/5 used, sheets were dirty and stained, seemed not to be washed from previous renters. Day 2 saw ants, day3-5 roaches(German). Was treated by the reality office like we were a bother and forced to only communicate through email after an naturally upset conversation on the phone. Needless to say we left on day 6 and money was thankfully refunded to us! Also, living room and all outside furniture is old, worn & stained. Neighbor across the lagoon was creepy with my teenage girls in the pool. What a awful experience for my family of 5.

Good house and location
Our pool turned green Thursday and it wasn't usable tii 415 Friday guessing the pool chemicals weren't right and caused rashes on me and others in the house. Other than that it's a great house an hour or so to key west. It was clean and comfortable seeing how I got stuck in it the last three days of our family vacation slipped disk.

Would book again
Only draw back was lack of kitchen towels and hand towels for bathrooms. Had to run and get toilet paper and paper towel. And the only thing I found uncleanly was the carpet on the stairs.
Otherwise all was good.

Great Time
We had a family wedding in Marathon. Decided to enjoy a vacation at the same time. We rented for 8 days, enjoyed all eight days. The house was perfect for our family and the grandchildren loved the pool. Very relaxing time. Also, you can't beat the weather.

Great place@
Place was very clean and cozy! Would rent again for sure! The pool was warm and the weather couldn't have been any better! We were able to see manatees off the deck, a decent size iguana made his appearance, and other sea life fish. Only thing I wish we had at the house was kayaks but you can always rent those.

Great location, clean, but ameneties could have been better
Overall, I gave this property 4 stars. Took off a star for check-in process and lack of supplies. The check-in process was more difficult than it needed to be. We received a text from the property manager with the code for the lockbox which did not work. However, it did work for the deadbolt on the top of the stairs. After a 12+ hour day of travel, we just wanted to get into the house but could not. We did reach out to the property manager via phone, left a message and sent a text. 20-30 min later we get a text with the lockbox code, no other explanation or apology for giving us the wrong code. Luckily that worked and we were able to get into the lockbox to get the key and finally unlock the door. It would have been nice to be given both the deadlock code and the lockbox code in the welcome text message so we could check-in without issues or waiting for responses. Secondly, we were told that they left a few things to get us started. Not sure what those things were - the house had no paper towels, no tissues, no extra garbage bags, no dish soap, and even though the house had 3 bathrooms, only one bathroom had toilet paper (and only one roll). The other bathrooms did not have any toilet paper whatsoever so we needed to make a trip to the grocery store to get these items right away. I would expect at the very least that each bathroom would have one roll of toilet paper.
Other than those inconveniences, we enjoyed our stay there. The location was perfect - close to Sombrero Beach (1.5 miles), 20 min drive to Bahia Honda State Park (our favorite beach area), and about 1 hour to Key West and 1 hour to Key Largo. A Publix grocery store was located a half mile away. Our kids loved the pool and spent many hours in that. The beds were comfortable and the layout of the house worked well for our family.

Great Family Spot
Plenty of space for the 10 of us. Kids and adults enjoyed the pool and paddled around canal. It was a 2 mi trip to the ocean via canal and about the same distance drive to the beach. Beautiful spot.

Beautiful Home on the Canal
We have visited Marathon many times before, and typically bring our boat. So the canal was a must for us. This was a beautiful home, very clean and pretty well stocked with essentials. The property management group was in good communication throughout our stay and easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. The pool was so convenient during the hot days and was a favorite for our kids. The beach is about a mile and a half down the road and Publix just around the corner. We loved our stay.

Another great trip to Marathon Florida
This was our second time staying in one of these houses on Sombrero Beach Rd. Great location. House is very accommodating for 8 people. Had two issues and they were resolved immediately. Will be back again for sure!
5.0
This house worked perfect for our family vacation. We had 5 adults and 2 children with plenty of room. The pool was immaculate and very warm for those cooler nights in January. We swam every night and enjoyed watching the boats in the canal. The beach was not close enough to walk to every day, but it only took 5 minutes to get there and there is plenty of parking for free.Our only problem was there is not enough towels and we had to wash them about every day, when we arrived there was only 1 wash cloth in the place, but they quickly brought more by when asked. There is enough supplies to get you started, but not for a week so you will need garbage bags, dish soap, dishwasher soap and laundry soap.The only complaint about the house is that the furnishings are not very comfortable. It all has hard surfaces and sharp corners, not very good for a 2 year old running around. The deck furniture was extremely uncomfortable. The patio chairs and table by the pool were good though.We had a great time here and would recommend this rental.

Great experience. Very clean and well stocked for dishes. We suggest toilet paper holders in bathrooms and better directions for trash/recycling. Possibly add a fan in the bunk room, no circulation of air.

Way too short a stay!
We arrived Saturday pm and loved the amenities close to our door such as Wallgreens and Publix. We also very muched enjoyed the pool since we were confined as per asked for the CODV-19 virus. We left 4 days earlier than planned due to our government warning us to come back and boarder closings possibilities.

Great Location!
This property was in a great location to many activities on Marathon. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth. We were required to start laundry and take garbage out, not a huge deal. The house did not have laundry detergent, trash bags and only had one roll of paper towels though so we had to purchase all of these items. We did have 8 people and ran out of toilet paper the last day, so maybe a few extra rolls supplied would be great. We would recommend this property and look forward to renting here again.

Great property
We really enjoyed this beautiful house on the canal. We really liked the nice clean look. Everything was in great condition. The sheets and towels (including many beach towels) are soft.
It’s in a great location. Having the boat dock was so nice, as we brought our boat down. It takes about 30 min to get to the ocean. Having a water hose and fish cleaning station on the dock was a nice bonus. (There was enough room for parking the trailer and our 3 cars in front of the house.) Sombrero Beach a little over a mile down the road. It’s a very nice beach area. Publix and Winn Dixie are very close as well.
We paid for the pool heat (February) and it stayed warm and enjoyable. Definitely worth it.
We really enjoyed hanging out on the balcony and at the table under the balcony by the pool. These areas made the house seem bigger than it really was. Unfortunately, the main dining table only seats 4. That was the really the only downfall.
If ever we are in need of this size of house in the area, there will be no need to do any research, we will definitely rebook this house!

New house with everything you need.
Stayed here with my extended family of 8 and even though all of the bedrooms were filled, it never seemed crowded. Since the house is new, everything in it is new and in great working order. The property, house, and pool are well kept. The large dock on the back was put to good use with our boat rental. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the ocean through the no wake canals and it is about a mile to the beach down the end of the road. It is a good location for grocery stories and restaurants. Since it is in the middle of the Keys, it is a good location if you want to jump over to other islands. Having beach towels and even fishing towels was a nice plus. The kitchen table is a little small and there is a counter with some bar stools but we ate most of our meals outside at the large table under the deck. You can't go wrong with this house.

The property is fantastic! Great location
This house is awesome, comfortably fits 10. The beds are so comfortable and the sheets are super soft. I find this to be a huge bonus, we have stayed at many rentals and the beds and sheets are always ok. The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you need to cook or bake. The pool is great and the outdoor areas are also great. The dock is nice, we rented a boat which made it super easy. House seems bigger then the sq footage and the bathrooms are nice and roomy. House came with beach towels as well, another bonus. Sombrero beach is right down the road and really nice. Management was very responsive and quick to respond to anything before we got to house and also while we were there if we had a question. Overall I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Well worth the money.
