We had a wonderful stay at Pelicans Perch! The condo is clean and comfortable. It had everything that we needed. The views from the downstairs living room and upstairs master bedroom were to die for. The swimming pool was large and sparkling clean. It was down season so we were the only ones in it most of the time. The complex was very quiet and relaxing. There are plenty of restaurants and places to shop nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had an amazing week at Pelican’s Perch. The condo was better than we expected and had everything we needed. The extras, like coolers, a fishing rod, and beach toys were so helpful. The views from the condo were gorgeous and we practically had the pool to ourselves every time we got in. Our family just loved the property and I would go back in a heartbeat. Communication with the owner and property manager was also excellent.

This condo is AMAZING! Very spacious with new updated furniture and the beds slept great! The views were wonderful and the sunrises were awesome everyday! Only 1 small gitch with the internet and it was resolved within the hour by Mickey and owners! The condo had everything we needed and then some - bicycle's, beach chairs, floats, coolers and 2 grills.
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay and plan to be back again!

Comfortable clean place, great location lots of supplies, kitchen essentials (we like to cook a lot). Spacious living area with nice furniture. Wish this could be on one level with less stairs-and no birds at the poolthat would make it perfect! But we want to come back!

This property is absolutely beautiful! If you are looking for peace and quiet, with gorgeous views of the ocean, this is your place! The bed was amazing,so comfortable! Check in was easy and the condo was in excellent condition! I have stayed at several locations and this was my favorite. I did have to replenish most paper products and laundry items but I left what we didn’t use for the next occupants. Fantastic location and if I get back to Marathon I will stay here again!

Great View, Great Location
We arrived and felt instantly comfortable and relaxed. The view was amazing and is how I began my day drinking coffee on the front porch over looking the bay. Also after a hard day at play it was a great way to wind down. The pool was convenient and the kids loved it. We rented a boat and docked it at the dock. So close to Vaca Cut that we had instant access to the ocean and bay side.

Fully furnished condo right on water. Winds blew pretty forceful most of week. Pool was clean and refreshing.

Quiet complex with view right from the balcony
Loved the pool, it’s temperature and the proximity to the condo. Spent much time enjoying the view from the balconies and the rockers. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. Key lock box was difficult to open but contacted Bernie & she quickly responded. Appreciated the items/staples left for our use and we replenished. Furnishings need updating and that is the reason for the 4 stars.

Great location - a very comfortable place to stay.
This was our third stay at Pelican's Perch. The sunrises from the balcony never get old. Watching the dolphins and the pelicans was also fun. The property is well equipped with everything you need, including coolers. The pool is a very nice place to soak up some sunshine.

Christmas get a way
Our family came to enjoy the Christmas holiday together. The condo is nice, had everything we needed. We had the pool area to ourselves most of the time. The sunrises are beautiful from the balcony. We enjoyed many of the local restaurants! We snorkeled the Sombrero Reef, Smathers Beach in Key west, and Bahia Honda State Park. Met a lot of locals and can’t wait to return!

Pelicans Perch
We had a fabulous time at Pelicans Perch! The condo was perched on the Gulf side, not visible by the highway, and very quiet and tranquil. The view was amazing with the large glass doors looking out over the water. We had everything we needed to spend the week and would love to return.

Adequate place and location.
The location and place was nice but could have been cleaner, not sure the owner knows if the cleaning service is subpar.

Great Stay
We enjoyed our stay in the condo, it was much as described and we enjoyed the grounds. There are 20 units in this complex and it was very well maintained. The condo unit is very spacious and has great views from both floors.
The nearly private pool on the grounds was well maintained and clean.
We had a great time bar and restaurant hopping in Marathon and Key West. Looking forward to returning to the area and will definitely want to and enjoy staying here again.

Great Vacation
This is our second time staying at Pelican's Perch and we are looking forward to a third. The home has amazing views and the pool is quiet and relaxing. We enjoy being in the center of the keys to give options to travel East or West for a day of activities. The home has a very comfortable king sized bed that gave me a sound nights sleep. I am 6' 3" and not all beds work for me. Everything about Pelican's Perch was clean, comfortable and relaxing. I love this home!

Nice clean place in a great location
We enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was clean and as described. We had all the amenities that we needed. The location was great, close to everything. We could see the sunrise from the balconies and watch the sunset from the dock. We also fished from the dock and caught some fish. The few times that we needed to communicate with Rex and Bernie they were quick to reply. We appreciated the recommendations they gave us in the welcome packet. We had a great week in the Keys!

The property was exactly as described. Spacious, fully-equipped, clean, beautiful setting, and perfect location. Our host was extremely responsive and courteous. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and swimming in the pool. It was not crowded which was a plus.The condo was located near many of the attractions and great restaurants. The one thing that made this property unique was the "pay it forward" rule which we really liked because there were supplies that might not have been there otherwise. We replaced everything we used and even left items that we hope the next tenant can use.We HIGHLY recommend Pelican's Perch to anyone visiting Marathon. Thanks Bernie!!!!

Perfect Spot!
This was a great place to stay. Had everything it said it had and it was right on the water. The other side was a great place to sit by the ocean without having to go anywhere. Awesome place.
