About this house rental

Escape to Marathon, the heart of the Florida Keys! In addition to your private pool with a hot tub, we also offer a beautiful outdoor living area complete with your own Tiki Hut with a TV - enjoy outdoor living at it's finest!

Our waterfront, single-family home, affectionately named “Manatee Cove”, offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and plenty of dock space for your boat with quick ocean access! This tastefully furnished Keys home is located on a quiet side street in a residential neighborhood on the Atlantic side of the Island, just 3 houses from open water.

The open living and dining room space is great for gathering with plenty of seating for everyone … a great environment to sit back, relax, and talk about your daily and upcoming adventures!

Being just a short distance from the Atlantic, you’ll be diving, snorkeling, or have your lines in the water in no time! If you don’t have a boat of your own, there are plenty of rental services or guide services in the area. When you aren’t out enjoying our beautiful Atlantic Ocean or your private pool and hot tub, you’ll enjoy a host of other entertainment options…you will be minutes from Sombrero Beach, Turtle Hospital, Crane Museum and just a short drive to the Dolphin Research Center or Aquarium where you will learn about the wonderful sea life in the area.

In case you can’t get to the outdoors or to our sites or are winding down in the evenings, we have a large screen smart TV in the living area (and in one of the bedrooms) to watch a few of your favorite shows.

There are so many great restaurants to try in the area, it will be hard to pick a night to stay in and cook on your own. But if you do, you’ll find that our kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials. You’ll appreciate the up to date appliances and Corian countertop with plenty of room to prep! Of course, we provide standards: A coffee pot, Keurig, toaster, blender, and plenty of serving dishes.

Upstairs has three bedrooms: One with a King bed, large screen TV, lots of closet space and sliding glass doors to access the outside; the second has a queen bed and the third has two twin beds. The main level has a bedroom with a queen bed and a private bathroom.

Our outdoor living area provides a gas grill and even a bait freezer for your convenience. Additionally, the dock has a cleaning station, electricity, and water.
We have such a great property to offer. Hopefully, the description answers all your questions but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or special requests. We look forward to hosting you and your guests in our home!

Note also that if you have a large group, we have another property two doors down, just 5 houses from the ocean. Look for our sister property, Turtle Cove! This stunning 3br/2ba home with pool, tanning ledge, and hot tub makes for a perfect large group gathering. Between the two properties, we can accommodate up to 18 guests - the VRBO number for Turtle Cove is 1750586.

Note that we may offer last-minute discounts to fill unexpected openings. If you do have a reservation you made in advance, the discount does not apply as it's intended to fill last-minute vacancies only.

Generally, we rent our home Saturday to Saturday from mid-February to the first week of April; all of June, July, and mid-august. We have the flexibility for mid-week stays during the offseason.

Boat size: 30' or less only. We have guests currently booked that have concerns about the depth of the canal coming in so I'm providing more information to help future guests - we have a 30' boat and only have issues during king tides at low tide only. If you are an experienced boater, you can get in and out of our canal no problem. Please reach out before booking if you have questions or concerns so we can provide more details if you require them.

Pets: We prefer smaller dogs, not too hairy - please send us a note first to confirm your pet is okay to stay. It's an extra $25/day (plus tax) for a pet. VRBO should ask you to put in the number of pets and charge accordingly but if their system doesn't pick it up, we'll add it on. If you are unsure, don’t add your pet in now, we will do it later when you decide. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.

Occupancy: Rates are based on the standard occupancy which is 8. You may have up to 10 by ordinance but we charge additional occupancy fees in this case. If you are unsure of your total, book with 8, then update us when you know. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.

The location was perfect. The house was perfect, exactly as described. We had everything we needed to cook at the house the days we didn't go out to eat. The beds were comfy and fit our group exactly how we needed. Could not ask for anything better. The boys had a great time fishing and going out on the kayak and paddle board. We had a boat 2 days and after 1st attempt learned how to easily get in and out of the canal. The tiki hut and pool definately got used everyday. The crabs in the yard are fun to watch from the pool. We had an absolute blast.

We had an amazing stay at Manatee Cove, everyone loved the pool and hot tub, fishing right off the dock and daily manatee visits. Very close to several restaurants, shops and the beach. The house was clean and tidy, lots of games and books to keep you entertained on a not so sunny day. Definitely take the kayak and paddle board for a spin, my husband even fished in the kayak and had a blast. We can't wait till next year!

We had a great stay at Manatee Cove! It was everything as advertised. It was cloudy and chilly the first few days, so we did't use the pool and hot tub very much. After the weather cleared, and it heated up, we used them quite a bit. Very relaxing to sit back and enjoy. We also loved the tiki hut. We are very happy with our stay and may come back next year! Thank you!

We enjoyed the beautiful Manatee Cove for a full week! Kathy is an exceptional property manager ensuring we were comfortable and all of our needs were met. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more! The pool, tiki hut and the amenities the house has to offer are stellar! Quick drive to other Keys and surrounded by some amazing restaurants! Hit up Keys Fisheries a hidden gem indeed! Sombrero beach was beautiful to see the sun rise and set. If you are lucky like we were an entire family of manatees came right up to the dock! Our family enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking up the canal! Stop by Crane Point for a fun filled day of beautiful sites and a fish pedicure!

We had 10 guests in our party and all slept comfortably at the house. I knew it was 2 stories but we didn't realize no access to downstairs. I am glad we didn't bring our elderly moms as the steps would have been rough. The only things I would say were missing for us were some pool toys for the kids. There was a beach ball there and they had snorkels we brought. It is a salt water pool which is common in the Keys and on cruises. By the end of the week we were wishing it was chlorine. The kitchen was well stocked although we would have liked a pizza cutter & round pizza pan but made due with what was available. There was a regular coffee maker and keurig. They had dish and hand soap supplied. Plenty of towels and great washer/dryer. Our family has a preference for smaller salad style forks so the pitch forks were our biggest complaint. We loved the Tiki and spent a good amount of time outdoors. We went on the Miss Islamorado to catch fish and came home catching almost as many off the dock. High tide was best time to fish! 3 of us took out the kayak and paddleboard twice. The bugs are bad and we brought 2 thermocells which I highly recommend as worked well when we remembered to turn them on! There are a lot of mosquitos and no see ums. I used essential oils so rarely got bit but several family members were eaten alive the couple nights we forgot to activate the thermocell unit. It was a great house and I preferred it to the condos we have stayed at in the past.
