About this house rental
Plein Air Point
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Plein Air Point is the perfect combination of modern elegance and laid-back Keys living. Nestled at the end of Patricia Lane in Marathon, it’s surrounded on three sides by a Florida land preserve, a deep-water canal, and the Gulf of Mexico. This is a wildlife refuge teeming with birds and assorted aquatic life.
Plein Air Point is a place to be outdoors: boating and fishing, swimming and snorkeling, reading and painting; a place to plan your next move or start your Opus. And when you feel like soaking up the air conditioning, instead, you won’t sacrifice the view. All but one room at Plein Air Point have expansive views.
A 90-foot deep-water dock provides immediate Gulf access. Launch one of our four kayaks or paddleboards, go for a snorkel, or cast a line just a few steps from the backdoor. There are bollard lights on the dock for night-time fishing. A 35-foot heated pool and separate spa are nestled in a private, outdoor area that is covered in travertine pavers. Beyond that is sand, with slate Quoit boards and room to throw a ball. There’s plenty of under-house shade, comfortable seating options, and a four-burner Weber grill. The quiet neighborhood is perfect for cycling, and we have six bicycles
and helmets.
Most of the artworks (prints) at Plein Air Point were painted by Joan Ross, the artist, and designer whose original vision, along with her husband Bill, brought this home into existence in the late 1980s. This is a second-generation home that has been completely renovated and features a new master suite that spans the entire top floor.
Things to know:

Plein Air Point is a beautiful home with outstanding views. I spent two weeks at this home. The first week was with three of my siblings from Indiana and the second week was with my son and his family. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We visited Crane Park, which is lovely, as well as the turtle center. In addition, we went on a fishing excursion with Infinity Blue, a veteran owned fishing charter. Captain *** was very accommodating and worked well with the younger children. There were minor issues, but they were quickly addressed. We all plan on returning. Thank you for making this home possible.

Very nice home and spectacular setting. Very nicely furnished and equipped. Can't beat the setting, including the iguana on the property.
Excellent hot tub. Pool should have had midweek cleanup with all the leaves and trash debris in the pool blowing in from the street from wind overturned trash cans. Constant problem. Nicest property in the neighborhood by far.

The pictures doesn’t do this Home justice. This property has everything you could possibly need/want in a vacation home. The views are unbeatable! We fished off the dock and caught many different fish. We enjoyed using the stand up paddles and the kayaks! Perfect home for a family, you definitely will have the time of your life there. Bittersweet to have to leave but looking forward to coming back!

Really lovely place, much as it appears in the pictures. We were able to fish, canoe and swim off the dock, and kids had a fantastic time. Marathon is one of the more relaxing places in the Keys, and we just loved it.

We've been vacationing on Marathon since 2017 and we found one of the best hidden gems on the island in Plein Air Point. The views are incredible, the pool cooled us down easily and made for great memories, the beds were comfortable, the downstairs outside ice maker kept our blender busy! The fishing rods, paddle boards, kayaks, bikes and corn-hole made for easy activities. We have already booked Plein Air Point for our 2024 summer vacation!

We loved the house. We enjoyed the pool area and also spent lot of time fishing. Also used the kayaks several times. The pool was bath warm. The fishing was spotty. We had several lines broken by large fish. Our best luck was at night using live shrimp and casting just a few feet from the dock. The manatee paid us a visit and that was great. We had a couple of minor issues in the house which were fixed by Vacasa very quickly. I highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed this house and had an amazing Florida vacation while staying here. The outdoor area is one of the best and most of our time was spent outside soaking up the sun and in the pool. The house amenities were as described and we were all comfortable during our stay. We hope to return to this house again soon!

We rent vacation homes on Marathon at least once every year. This has been our favorite. The home was clean and included everything you could need from bicycles, to kayaks, to paddle boards. There was even snorkel equipment. The views from almost every room were fantastic. The pool was great. Fishing from the dock was great too. Smaller mangrove snappers could be caught all day long. Lemon sharks were almost as easy to catch by casting pinfish over the cut onto the flats. We also caught bonnethead sharks, blacktop sharks, nurse sharks and barracuda. The aquatic life off the dock was amazing. Schools of parrotfish, and mangrove snappers were always present. We also saw French angelfish, Atlantic tangs and even had a manatee visit. We will definitely be back!

My family of 6 stayed at Plein air Point for 1 week in early August. I honestly can’t say enough good things about our stay. My husband enjoyed paddle boarding with the kids every morning from right off the dock. He kayaked as well and one day a manatee swam alongside them! Five of us snorkeled daily from the dock as well. There are many lobsters in the rocks right by the steps and tons of fish! My father in law loved fishing every day with the kids. One of the highlights of the week was the family of iguanas that live in the bushes behind the pool. They visited us daily! My kids couldn’t get enough!
This house has so much to offer. We enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the panoramic views from just about every room in the house!

Everything you could ask for
The ocean views are awesome, the home is very well appointed, the staff is very attentive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. The dock has every kind of marine life you can think of from lobster to parrot fish to manatees along with a nurse shark that visited each day looking for lobster. The pool and hot tub were warm and inviting considering it was 46 degrees when we arrived but warmed quickly back to the 70’s.
The home is well kept and clean.
The iguanas were fun to watch out on the rocks but like to get into the garbage at night.
Many thanks to Vacasa abd the owners for providing a wonderful home and a great vacation experience!

Amazing house, amazing views
The location and the view were perfect. Easy enough for a day trip to Islamorada or Key West. Perfect to stay at the house and float in the pool. Kayaks, paddle boards, bikes!!! No need to leave the house for fun and recreation. Quoits and corn hole games for when we didn’t want the water. And a fire pit with wood for evenings! Perfect!

Loved the house and all beds were comfortable.
Dock needs lights for watching your boat and fishing from the dock. The dock pilings need cleats to secure your boat.

Brilliant Views
My wife and I and our two teenagers stayed here for a week. The views are incredible from nearly every room. The pool and dock on the Gulf, along with the sea kayaks and paddle boards, make it just about perfect.
The spa is fine but a little outdated - not many jets, and they are not very strong, and the manual switchover at the pool pump is a little clumsy. But this did not in any way diminish our stay. The top floor primary suite is exceptional.
The location is close to a lot of waterfront restaurants and other businesses like jet ski rentals and fishing.
The property managers are fantastic! We had a few questions and unexpected issues during our trip and Vacasa was perfect in their communication. They could not have been more attentive.
Would highly recommend this house. Great base to explore thr Keys.

We spent three weeks at Plein Air Point. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent again. The location is perfect and the view every morning from the master bedroom was stunning. We watched manatees, dolphins, rays and many fish in the bay. They kayaks and paddle boards were great and so was the pool. The bathrooms and bedrooms were up to date and nice but the living room, dining and kitchen furnishings were worn and dated. Overall this was a great place to rent and we were sorry to leave.
