Personally, this was the first rental where the owner didn't provide the cheapest type of toilet paper to their renters. Not only was the house ideal but so we're the little things (like TP). My wife and her friend saw a lot of sea life and they're marine enthusiasts. And that back porch...not sure if we spent more time inside or there. And that bench on the far side was a genius move. Looking forward to staying here again.

Great time as usual. Good location. Will miss not being back due to family use. Heather is very quick to respond to issues.

We loved the location, sadly the weather was quite mixed! We actually had some heating on!
The house is great albeit a little tired and could do with smarting up a bit, given the cost of the accommodation.
We were unable to swim due to the sea grass everywhere. Sadly the bikes didn’t work either which was a shame(poorly maintained and rusted)
The location is stunning and the sunsets were amazing.

Screened in lanai was awesome.
Seawall provided great views and fishing opportunities.
Home is located near many stores and restaurants

Property has good bones but needs updating. Shouldn’t advertise bicycles and beach chairs if not in working order. Some confusion figuring out where all lights turn on but we managed. Lagoon was difficult to maneuver in and out of-we had a 22’ boat. Heather was easy to work with in booking and communication up to our arrival.

This was our third year vacationing here, and as usual, we had a relaxing and great time. There was so much marine life there. The fishing is great. Two years in a row, we have seen huge manatees passing by. The place always feels bigger than you would first expect. The screened porch takes up the length of the house and has a great view of the ocean, which is so relaxing. The only issue I had this year, was not the owners fault, but rather those that stayed there before us. The guests who stayed before us, did not follow the cleaning instructions the owners instructed in the check-out instructions. Over all though, we still had a great time!

The location on the water is great. Sunsets are directly behind the house and could not be better. Lagoon blocks boat wake or waves on a windy day but is very tricky to enter, especially on a windy day. I would not try with a boat larger than 25 ft. We had a person on each side and front and back to keep from hitting the walls during entry and exit. The next door neighbor is going to watch you like a hawk when you come and go EVERY TIME. The house is clean but there were some dirty dishes in the cabinets including pans not washed so we spent the first half day cleaning. Outside of house could use some cleanup of old ladders, grills, fishing equipment and a little litter. However, would recommend depending on your needs.

Beautiful sunset, nice location for fishing. Clean but heavily dated property. Walkway around lagoon and steps are very slippery, use caution.

This was a perfect get away for my husbands 40th birthday. We decided to make it an adult only trip after booking and it was perfect. You are in the middle of the keys so equal distance to Key West and Key Largo but so much to do right there on Marathon. The screened in porch was perfect for dinner every night and the benches were great to stargaze and catch the cool breeze.

We traveled with our two young daughters and my brother and his wife. The layout of the home was great for our group and we had plenty of space to spread out. We cooked while there and found the kitchen to be adequate for most of what we wanted to prepare. The benches were great for watching the sunsets and the neighborhood was quiet at night.

Great Location but needs a lot of updates
the property is in an excellent location. quiet and beautiful, we even saw a manatee swim by. All of the appliances are old and the amenities in kitchen were all in need of upgrades. The grill was very dirty and we decided not to use it as it needed a good cleaning.

House was older but in good shape and clean. Owner responded very quickly to any concerns. Plenty of room and views are amazing. No kayaks now but we had rented a boat so no issue for us but may be for others. Fishing and marine watching was awesome! Had a great week!

House was very clean. The layout is perfect for everyone to enjoy each other and still have separate spaces. The sunset view is perfect. The baths and kitchen are a bit dated but in great working order and its easy to see how they are gradually updating.
Location is great to get everywhere
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly
