About this house rental
This home has a wonderful private and lush tropical setting. It features gorgeous landscaping from the entrance of the driveway all the way throughout the property to the expansive dock. You may get the feeling you don`t have any neighbors because of its ideal privacy that surrounds the lovely pool, patio, deck, and hot tub. There are 3 bright and comfortable bedrooms (Master King, Guest Queen, and Guest with 2 twins) and 2 full baths. The home is in great condition and very tastefully decorated. Enjoy the tropical views from the living room, dining room, kitchen, and 2 of the bedrooms. This home provides everything needed for a relaxing vacation in Marathon, Florida.
The location is phenomenal. The beach is extremely nearby and guests can walk to the beach with ease. Sombrero Beach is a beautiful and newly renovated beach that will make you feel like you are at a 5-star resort. If you want to spend some time with your toes in the sand all you have to do is walk down the street.
You will enjoy this home and the town it is located in. It is a small town with a lot of variety. Located directly in the middle of the Keys, nothing seems to be too far away. Spend a night on Duvall, watching the sunset at Mallory Square in Key West, go mini-golf at Boondocks, or go bowling just 45 minutes away. There are also many attractions in town that you couldn`t experience anywhere else. Some people may be shocked to drive past a turtle hospital. Yes, we have one! Stop in for a unique and fun time. Experience our little piece of SeaWorld by visiting the Dolphin Research Center. You can tour the location and even swim with the dolphins. There are also national parks with kayaking and biking trails. Don`t forget the famous historic 7-mile bridge. It is a must-see for all first-time Florida Keys Vacationers.
Although there is no cable TV, the home is equipped with smart TVs throughout. You will be expected to use your own streaming services
Please note that if you plan to travel with a boat, we can only guarantee that one boat will be able to fit at the dock. Please be sure you are familiar with the dock size and do not assume more than one watercraft can be secured at the property during your stay. Also, although this home is considered “Pet Friendly” you are required to select this option when booking your reservation if you choose to have a pet occupying the home. You will be required to pay a one-time $150 pet fee that is non-refundable. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a forfeiture of your security deposit.

I wanted my three boys to experience the "Keys" vacation. I have been SCUBA diving down there for many years. Everyone thought this was the best family vacation we have had together. Can't say enough good things about the overall experience.

In the past couple of years, we've stayed in many houses, and I have to say, this one was truly impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house itself was charming and had everything we needed, but the backyard and the pool were absolutely unforgettable. We didn't even want to go anywhere else; we spent the entire day hanging out by the pool. The palm trees, the pool, the tiki gazebo, the water features – everything was simply perfect. This house stands out, and I don't think I want to stay anywhere else in this area. If you want to truly enjoy pool time, this backyard and pool won't disappoint. We had a heated pool, and even on cooler days, it was incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommend this property; the Island Breeze service was amazing and provided excellent service immediately.

This was a perfect getaway for my husband and I and our 2 Springer Spaniels. We loved it and booked for another visit before we left.
The grill actually works, that’s a first!
It’s clean, well appointed and just so relaxing.

This is our 4th year staying in the Keys for Thanksgiving, we love everything about it! This house was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were very nice and clean! The tiki hut and grill were also wonderful to have. Thank you for allowing us to stay we loved it!
5.0
The biggest problem with our stay was that there were too many options for things to do and ways to relax! Property could not have been better…with the phrase “I could live here” said many times during the week. House and property were spotless (having been recently updated) and the tiki hut was awesome to visit under. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a great time and we’re able to bring our dogs and our boat. We enjoyed being able to boat with the family and grandkids during the day, take a dip in the pool and relax on the porch or tiki hut in the evening. We grilled fresh caught fish, listened to music and played family games over drinks after the kids went to bed. Everything was clean, nicely decorated and as advertised. We would come back for sure!

There was an issue which led to us not staying here. We stayed at another property. The team at Island Breeze Vacations were great. We have stayed at this property before and it is quite nice. Seconds from Sombero Beach. We stayed at a property on the Gulf side and rented a boat from Wheels2go. Ate at Sparkys, Stuffed Pig and No Name Pub. The house we did stay in was beautiful, quiet and had all the amenities. Planning our next trip, maybe during lobster season this time in the fall.

I actually stayed at a different house, the company upgraded me because there was an issue with original house. They offered two really nice options with the same amenities of the original house. The one I chose was beautiful,clean, quite and offered access to the ocean… everything was perfect! We are looking forward to next year and definitely using this company!

Beds were comfortable . Towels were plentiful ! Pool was fabulous ! Hot tub was amazing ! The inside was decorated exceptionally! The outside space was just incredible … pictures didn’t do it justice . All types of sitting lounging areas … sun shade daytime nighttime … didn’t even rent a boat bc we had such a great time in our oasis here!

We had a very pleasant time and loved the yard and pool area. It was very relaxing and loved sitting in upperdeck reading and lounging by the pool while kiddos swam. Definitely recommend, the house itself is cozy and had what we needed and beds were comfortable and everything was spotless when we arrived.

Easily one of the best properties I've had the pleasure of staying at and I've been booking through VRBO for many years and have stayed in several very nice homes. The property felt like a private resort and we barely felt the need to leave. The beach is close and is a nice sand beach with is rare in the keys. The neighborhood is very nice and the grocery store is right down the road. A friend joined us with her small dog and the fenced in yard was perfect. Will definitely return to this property.
5.0
The house was well maintained and spotless. Since we were part of a group we mainly just slept at the house. The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located. I would rent it again next time we need an extra house.

The house is in great location, close to beach and grocery stores. Outside area with pool, dock, cabana, hot tub and outdoor shower is very nice!

Awesome Property
We loved everything about this home! Everything was clean and exactly as mentioned in the listing. We had four teenagers with us and they loved everything about this place. In fact, I think they spent more time outside than in! We also loved the beach area just a short walk down the road. We made some great memories and hope to be back again!

Beautiful and Relaxing
House is in a great location, close to beach and Publix. Pool area was so nice, surrounded by palms and lush foliage. My son and I saw a huge manatee surface right in front of us while looking at the canal. I would definitely stay again.

2weeks in marathon
The home is lovely and sufficiently equipped. The master shower could use some updating. The outside deck and pool area is awesome- quiet and relatively private. There is plenty of seating areas and shade. Not much negative to say - the cushions for the chaise lounges were shabby and torn and hopefully have been replaced, The beach is a short walk.

Nice pool but that’s about it.
Much to be desired in terms of overall experience. The pool was dirty when we arrived and cleaned later in the evening. The kitchen is really small, has one baking sheet, and not really a sufficiently stocked kitchen. We had to buy a sponge to clean the dishes. This is not really that big of a deal as we knew we’d have to buy additional cleaning products for the length of our stay. It’s just the little things that all add up to make the experience not as good as we had hoped considering the cost of the rental. The sofa bed was broken. Thankfully we had traveled with two cots. Had we not, we would have had kids on the floor. The TVs didn’t have remotes that worked, the towels were worn and tattered and extremely thin. The beds were comfortable but the frames squeaked every time we turned over or moved and all of the fans clicked on even the lowest setting making it impossible to sleep with them on. The dishwasher wasn’t anchored into the countertop and the bottom drawer completely rolled out of the opened door and onto the floor. The dryer made a terrible noise and could not be run at night and as we were leaving we discovered that the hall toilet leaked out of the outside pipe and onto our friends’ car that was parked and charging underneath. Needless to say, I’d recommend anyone considering this rental check with the host to be sure these things have been addressed before spending the money. The space itself is nice (outside of the tight kitchen), rooms were good and the deck and pool/patio space was lovely. We were also about 4 minutes from the beach.

Everything you need
Figure for a week with the family. Pool area is awesome as is its location to the beach. Lodging in the middle keys can be difficult to find, this has you centrally located between Key Largo and Key West.

4Generation Keys Getaway
Tropical Temptation close to shopping, clean beach, groceries, restaurants with bike walking path to all. Channel front with kidney shaped clean pool and mature tropical foliage make this a family friendly sun spot. Decorated with beach theme plus lots of seating inside and out. Keys disease will make us rebook.

Excellent Home!
Look no further you found the spot! There is an awesome dock with a fabulous pool. We lost a necklace in the pool and upon leaving they searched the pool for us and shipped it back to us. Never been more impressed with a host. Looking forward to going back!

Nice location, beautiful area.
This was a nice family friendly house and neighborhood. The property could be amazing with some “tlc” nothing major but it felt like it was maintained by a rental company for sure.

Nice house/needs a little TLV
The house was exactly as described. Location, amenities, were all
Perfect. A little TLC is needed in touching up paint in certain areas. It is a minor thing and in no way affected our time there.

Excellent vacation
Enjoyed the convenience to Sombrero Beach, grocery stores and great restaurants. Loved having the dock to store the boat and made access to fishing very convenient as well. Would definitely plan another vacation here again.

Family stay
First off, we have been using VRBO for years. This was the best experience with owner/manager to date. They were great. Thank you. The house was clean, cool, etc. Pool was great. Parked a truck, car and boat trailer. Plenty of room. Deep water dockage. Ladder on dock for low tide. Electrical did not work on dock to plug boat in but I travel with extension cords. Bought 50' more and was golden, running from the house. (I did not notify manager of this until now. No need. I figured if this was the only issue we had being 850 miles from home, we had it made) Found it better to go out the Atlantic side of Sister Creek, regardless of the direction you were going. Long idle going through Boot Key Harbor, but neat to see a time or two. A lot of mullet activity in canal at house but no activity of kids "fun fishing". Several days we had manatees. Wifes bucket list, check. We put in an public ramp on 33rd street. Go out, swing wide, no shallow water issues. Just pay attention to Boot Key. Shallow water is wide. Come out of Atlantic side of Sister Creek, fade to the right past last marker, head out to the light house, no issues. Lots of traffic in residential canals coming in and out. Wife and grand kids loved hot tub. I loved the bait freezer. Nice touch. Great place. Nice stay. Maybe one day, an ice machine would be really cool. Stayed 1st week of May, 2021.

Seclusion but perfect location
We decided to vacation here as a family trip for 2020. Loved the pool and bike path. The kids loved the playground at Sombrero Beach. The landscaping was amazing and mature. Felt very secluded but easy access to beach, grocery, and water access. We will 100% recommend this property and hope to return.

Keys Getaway at Sombrero Beach
We very much enjoyed the house amenities and location. We spent time at the beach, just half mile down the road and enjoyed time around the pool too. When we weren’t enjoying the house we were venturing to Key West or fishing and both were an easy drive from this location. There were a few maintenance issues w the house due to age, but otherwise it was well furnished and the kitchen was great to cook a few meals when we’re got tired of eating out. My favorite part was the mature landscape and tropical backyard, oh, and the spa tub! We would rent this house again.

The weather did not cooperate but the house made it pleasurable. The pool is a necessity during summer in Marathon. Our family got together on the upper deck every night and played cards-haven’t done that in years. Great family time facility.

Paradise vacation spot
Beautiful pool area, loaded with palm trees. House faces a canal which has some stagnant water that smells. The house is well decorated. The back porch overlooking the pool is the bomb.
