This spacious property sits directly on the Gulf. Most rooms in the house has views of the Ocean. The deep water dock allows you to bring and dock your own boat. All the rooms are extra spacious and provide a restful retreat after your busy day. Just imagine waking up making coffee in your own room and sitting outside your deck to the beautiful Gulf Waters, a dream come true. It's Paradise . Slip away into breathtaking views, gulf breezes and access to swimming right off our deck and dock. Explore our crystal clear waters. Part of the experience includes Kayaking (included 2 doubles with life vests) right from our steps. Relax in the Sun, use the 10 foot Jacuzzi Spa, and wait for the extraordinary sunsets that change by the minute. Beauty and relaxation surround you without ever leaving the property. However, your vacation will most certainly be enhanced by taking in some of the most notable beaches, restaurants, and shopping. We personally love the Old Seven Mile bridge that offers, walking and biking with unforgettable views. Sombrero Reef is beautiful for snorkeling or swimming and its about 3 miles off-shore. There are several other snorkeling diving sites in Marathon. Marathon has two beaches. Sombrero beach which is beautiful during the winter months. There is also Cocoplum Beach, which is a natural beach. We recommend a drive to Bahia Honda State Park where there are beaches on both the Ocean and Gulf sides. There are many different areas you can go to from our property. In addition, there is a great community park with tennis courts, basketball/hockey courts, skateboarding, soccer fields. baseball fields, shuffleboard courts, boccie ball, picnic areas etc. Marathon is also full of great restaurants and bars, a movie theater and a live theater with performances throughout the year.

Our family had an amazing time during our stay in Marathon. The house was perfect, plenty of room and space for us to sprawl out, and the outside views were incredible! The host was very responsive and helped make our stay memorable. Would definitely recommend this property to others and looking forward to returning!

A beautiful home with plenty of space for your entire family. Beautiful views. We caught multiple fish daily, saw sharks and dolphins off the dock. The owners thought of everything, come with just your clothing as everything you need is there. Home was clean, the neighbors are very nice.

We've stayed here 3 years in a row! The house is EXACTLY as it appears in the listing. Perfect for couples. The outside is where this home really shines. We spend most of our time in Marathon outback enjoying the pool, the tiki hut and the gorgeous view. We spend late nights fishing off the dock. Maria, the host, is VERY responsive to any request or problem. We will be back!

Our favorite place to stay, anywhere. We've been staying here for years and continue to find new things to explore in the area. The dock is perfect for our boat and the kids love fishing and snorkeling around it. The home is stocked with everything you'd need and Maria is extremely attentive to your needs. Please don't stay here, its hard enough already to find an open week :) Can't recommend enough. The Best.

This was a family trip with my sister and her husband and kids, my parents, and my husband, myself and our kids. Even with 10 of us in the house, we never felt crowded. The space was perfect for our family! I was lucky enough to stay in the periwinkle room which was like its own little escape. From the moment you step in the backyard, you feel like you are on a tropical vacation! We spent so much time relaxing by the pool, fishing off the dock and enjoying the shady area when we needed a break from the sun. The house is extremely well stocked, so if you are looking to cook, snorkel or need a raft for by the pool every is right there for you. We were close to everything we wanted to do including a day trip to Key West and two trips up to Islamorada to shop and eat.
I have rented houses in the Keys a few times now over the years and this one is definitely a favorite! Maria was so easy to work with and obviously cares about her guests comfort and enjoyment. I hope to get back there soon!

We had a great time at the house. We could have stayed at the house the entire week without exploring the rest of Marathon. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The sunsets from the dock were amazing. The screened in porch is a great place to read and have a drink while the kids swim. Every single bedroom has its own bathroom and gives everyone their privacy and space. There is plenty of snorkeling equipment along with beach chairs. Don’t forget to go kayaking either. It was a great week and we hope to go back.

Our party consisted of 6 adults in our 60’s. Everything you could possibly needed is provided. All of the kitchen cabinets were labeled so we could easily find what we needed. The best part of this home was the backyard. The pool and tiki hut were fabulous! Also, sitting on the dock watching marine life swim under and below us was incredible! We saw manatees, nurse sharks, sting rays and a barracuda right off the dock! The host was very responsive to any questions/needs we had. We would definitely come back.

This house and all its amenities are fabulous. What you see on the VBRO website is exactly what you will experience. I can’t say enough about our family 2023 Christmas. Such wonderful memories were made. We are very grateful to these owners for sharing their piece of paradise!

My husband and I, two other couples and my elderly parents enjoyed a wonderful week despite the weather. Beautiful sunsets and a perfect location for our boat with a nice dock. Great pool and tiki hut. Thank goodness for the inside spa because the weather was bad. We had 1.5 days of sun but with the layout of the house and size no one was on top of each other. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and lots to do in the area makes it another great option in the keys. The only part we felt lacking was a second fridge would have been nice. With 4 couples who all cook and we don’t eat out, we could have used the space. But next time we know and can adjust our packing and shopping. Because we will be back for sure!

Our overall stay was great. Our 11 yr old grandson walked in, saw the ocean and said “I’m very happy, very happy!”
Couple of hiccups. Kayaks were missing, we looked everywhere we could think of but no luck, I finally contacted Maria, only to be told they were out for repair and would arrive in the morning. A heads up on the this would have been nice. They actually weren’t delivered back to the house until late Monday afternoon.
The next item was the pool, no pool cleaning during the week and we couldn’t find a slimmer to clean ourselves Family had a great time in Key West one day, but the rest were spent at the house

Such a beautiful tropical oasis! This home and property is absolutely stunning! There were 6 of us, my husband and myself and our two adult children and their girlfriends. It was plenty big for us all and we each had our own area! The views are spectacular! Also the underwater light under the dock brought out all kinds of fish. We were really hoping to see a manatee or dolphin like others have seen before us, but you can’t control nature! We did rent a boat with their dock space and went out everyday in the Gulf and Atlantic! The pool is perfect along with two jacuzzi’s! The little tiki hut area for grilling was perfect and this house has a ton of amenities! Kayaks, fishing poles, places to clean fish, and places to put your bait! The kitchen is well stocked and the area is close by restaurants and groceries! I can’t recommend this place enough! We will definitely be back!

We rented this property for our family and friends for the week of our sons wedding in The Keys. We could not be more delighted! The photos don't do it justice! The views are breathtaking! Everything was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone (there was 10 of us). House was very clean! Pool, hot tub was delightful. Kids loved taking advantage of the fishing poles and kayaks to explore the area. Tiki was a perfect place for us all to relax in the evening. Maria was a joy to deal with! Definitely recommend!

The property was absolutely amazing. There were things for the kids to do, things for the adults to do. The dock and water was perfect for fishing. We caught tons of fish every day. You can snorkel right off the dock. The house was very well stocked and had everything we needed even with backups for things we forgot. The host was very easy to work with as well. We plan to come back.

The house was perfect with everything you need for a week and plenty of space for two families. Communication with the owner was easy. Location was perfect to explore the entire Florida Keys from Key Largo to Key West. Sunsets definitely did not disappoint. Saw parrotfish, manatees, barracudas, nurse sharks and more from the dock. Beautiful home and I hope to get to visit again!

I can't rave enough about this house, it was completely stocked, very clean and absolutely gorgeous. The owner is wonderful and communicated in a timely manner. The view is breathtaking and I can do the sunsets all day I think I was hypnotized by them. My kids loved the pool I think my oldest went all week without a phone which in itself was awesome. Do yourself a favor and rent this house for a week we had a blast and plan on booking again.

This property has it all. The location cannot be beat and the amenities serve your every need - kayaks with life vests, snorkeling equipment we used for lobstering, toiletries in case you left anything at home, and outdoor fans to keep you comfortable.
We rented a 27ft boat and the dock layout was great. The underwater lights were perfect for night fishing and we saw tarpon, sharks, sailcats, and a manatee. We stayed for two weeks and did not elwant to head home. We would come again and this was our second stay.

4th year staying at "Sunsets on the Gulf" and again, it did not disappoint! Our family of 6 adults and 3 children had another fantastic week at this beautiful location with 180degree views of the Gulf from the pool, Tiki Hut, dock or relaxing back yard. The inside is very nicely appointed, with ample & comfortable room for a big family and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. We love staying at Maria's home, located in a central location of Marathon, and can't wait until our next return!!

This house is so perfectly stocked with everything you will need for an amazing beach vacation. Everything is labeled and easy to locate within the house. The accommodations are comfortable and the amenities are fabulous! This is our second time staying here and we can't wait to come back. The house is set up to comfortably accommodate young kids, older adults, and everyone in between. We were easily able to dock our rental boat during our stay. Our son is an avid fisherman and didn't stop fishing off the dock the entire time. He has many fish stories to tell after this trip, including catching a huge tarpon off the dock. The layout of the house allows for everyone to gather with ease. My kids loved the "kid room" and the beds that pull out into two kings. The owners did a fantastic job with furnishing the outdoor spaces with high end polywood furniture. We honestly felt like we were at home during our stay. I enjoyed morning walks around the neighborhood and loved how easy it was to get to the grocery store. I cannot recommend this house enough and we will absolutely be back.

We stayed at this beautiful home for a much needed vacation. It’s everything you could ask for in a rental. We spent most of our time outside and watched the sunsets every night. The beds were so comfortable, the sheets were soft and the house offers plenty of privacy for each guest with a full bathroom for each bedroom. We saw dolphins swimming by and caught fish off the dock.
Maria is the perfect host. Very attentive to the needs of her guests and always available by text for any questions.
We will be back!

The backyard area was absolutely amazing. We spent 95% of our time out there. The water and the sunsets could not have been better. The pool, the tiki hut, the furniture, and the dock was perfect.

This is our second time staying at Sunsets on the Gulf and enjoyed our time just as much (if. not more). Property is on gulf with amazing views and sunsets. With direct access to gulf we got to kayak, paddle board, and fish. (We rented the paddle boards.). The house is perfect for two families and is clean. Owner is responsive and super helpful with anything that comes up. We enjoyed our stay!

Our trip here with 4 adults and three children under 12 was fabulous once again. I believe this was our fourth time here, and we’re still in love. Maria was very quick and responsive to fix one small issue, which we really appreciated. If you have a boat, there is so much to do on the water and finally the winds cooperated for us to do so this year. Even without a boat, the marine life around the shore and dock is quite amazing. Lobsters, sharks, tons of fish, dolphins, tarpon, barracuda, crabs, and the list goes on and on. We’ll be back again for sure!
