Nice place. Clean and comfortable. Great having the dock to fish (even without a boat). Ice machine was a huge plus for packing a beach cooler.

We would love to stay again. We had a couple of hiccups at the start which were taken care of right away. Convenient to town. Quite. Affordable. Someone mentioned before the long canal ride out. There are two ways out. One to get gas which takes a bit. One straight to the Ocean that takes no time. Ice machine on the property. Excellent.

We are two boating/diving/fishing families and this is our 9th year staying in Marathon, but first time at this property. Our stay was for 2 weeks.
It’s spacious enough for two families (with 4 teens) without having wasted space. The home is well stocked, clean, and maintained. The, ice maker, parking space, and location is excellent! Plenty of room for all of our dive/fishing gear, kayaks, and paddleboards.
The proximity to Sombrero beach, Sombrero Lighthouse, 7 mile bridge and reefs for diving is so convenient!
Communication with the owner is also a plus! He was super helpful and responsive.
Definitely a great stay and highly recommend this place!

Overall Restful
Our whole group loved the porch and big kitchen space! Time spent in the house was comfortable and the canal access leading to both the Atlantic and Gulf was perfect for our time on the water.

great property and Harvey was great to work with
The house is great with an open floor plan and a bunk bed room perfect for kids. The ice machine was a savior as well as the bait freezer. A floating dock would of been nice for the boat but the ladder worked well enough. The fish cleaning table was amazing. Throughout the process Harvey was easy to contact and very helpfull. Will be staying again.

Great week
My girlfriend & I as well as a few other couples stayed for mini lobster season. It was a great clean house, everything seemed to work as it should. Harvey was very helpful with everything and answered any questions quick. We had 2 boats which fit on the dock, it was tight but we got it. Overall a great choice for a rental.

The mold smell was overwhelming as soon as we walked in the front door! We took pictures of the mold and texted them to Harvey. I believe that they are knowingly renting a moldy home because Harvey says “there is no mold in the entire UPSTAIRS of the house” and “the two floors are separated with no air flow between them structurally.” Harvey said he needed “proof” of mold upstairs. We took out the upstairs AC filter and made a video of the mold covering and growing through it. Completely disgusting! We had to leave because of the heavy mold smell and allergy symptoms.
After sending the video, they asked if we would be interested in staying in the house if they bleached it. We declined and received a very long ugly text from Harvey saying that we were lying, trying to get out of our rental agreement and “we will not refund your money.” This property is materially misrepresented and a moldy mess. Nowhere in the listing does it say that you are renting only an upper portion of the home. The entire downstairs of this home has been stripped to the studs, with large amounts of mold growing on the walls, windows and water stains marking the concrete floors. Harvey replied “All mold is not dangerous. What you saw is not dangerous. Mold growing on wood is not some major catastrophe and when I had it inspected and verified that it was safe that should have been the end of the issue.”
Harvey claims an AC company inspected and verified that the mold in the building was “safe” and that they would sign “paperwork stating such.” Upon review of this AC company’s website, they do not offer mold assessment or remediation services. They do not appear to be licensed by the state of Florida to perform these services either. I wish VRBO allowed renters to upload customer photos as part of their review because you’d be shocked if you were able to see the images. We would not recommend staying at this property.

Amazing house
This house is exactly like the pictures show. Amazing huge second floor outside deck with covered seating and table to enjoy relaxing. We had the whole place to ourselves there are no other units attached the entire house and huge dock out back was ours. We fished right from back canal. You can bring your boat and dock it right behind the house. We had a great time and would definately recomend renting this home. Amazing home in an excellent location.

This house was in a nice location and accommodated our boat just fine. The house was clean and spacious. Beds were very comfortable. When we got there the ice machine did not work. The owner called someone out and it was fixed right away. Very responsive.

Great house and owner
This was our first time renting a house and Harvey made it a wonderful experience. He answered all our questions and fixed a few small issues very quickly. The house is beautiful with a lovely deck. Will definitely consider going back.

Sun and relaxation
Property was nice, but needed some things fixed. Ceiling fan switch in guest room was broke and the fridge needed a deep clean. Front door knob and lock needs to be replaces, I locked myself out and was able to slide a credit card in the lock to get back in the house. Great location, very close to everything.

Fantastic Stay with Plenty of Entertaining Options
We loved our stay at Rock Resort. The house is clean and came with a fully equipped kitchen. The back deck is amazing, and the property is in excellent condition. We fished, kayaked, and walked down to the beach almost every day. This place is a moderate walk down to Sombrero Beach, which was huge benefit to us. The check in process was very easy and Harvey Rock was easy to work with as our contact for the house. We would certainly come back in the future.

What a place!
This is a great rental. One of the best I have had. We were on vacation for some fishing and this place was perfect. An added bonus - the owner actually answers his phone! Thanks Harvey.

Super clean house in an excellent location
We stayed in this house for one week in July 2020, and we had an excellent vacation. The house was super clean from the moment we stepped in, as opposed to many other rentals that we stayed in recently, and Harvey provided all the relevant information ahead of our arrival, and also during our stay. The house has a good layout with high quality furnishings and everything you might need during your stay, and the location is excellent, in a very nice residential area, 5 minutes from Sombrero Beach, on a nice canal, and very close to a large shopping center with Publix, Kmart, Walgreens, and many other stores and restaurants. Marathon is also an excellent choice for exploring everything that Florida Keys has to offer, from Key West to Islamorada. Thank you Harvey and hope to be back someday!

Ideal location close to everything for an authentic Keys vacation
Location is spot on - close to Sombrero Beach, supermarkets, restaurants, snorkeling tours, Turtle Hospital, and fishing. We used Marathon as our base because its in the middle and were able to explore Key West, Key Largo, Islamorada without having to drive more than 1 hour 15 minutes.
The pictures are accurate but in reality its a much bigger home with lots of room to spread hour, places to lounge and plenty of place for dining. The channel in the back has access to fishing for the kids, a cleaning table, lounge chairs just to enjoy the nature and passing boaters/kayakers. The deck upstairs is where you will want to have your dinners and grill the fish you catch. It is furnished with what you need to spend quality time outdoors. There is a good washer dryer set on the same floor.
The inside has huge bedrooms, bunk beds with trundles and spacious bathrooms and closets. This home is well taken care of, is clean, there is a sense of pride and warm, well decorated with beach house feel.
I am not associated in anyway with the owner. I have successful & popular 5 Star rated properties on AirBnB at a major ski resort town in California as my standard of comparison. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to make quality family and vacation memories while being very comfortable in an ideal location.

Hard to pick a favorite!
I fell in love with the kitchen at first (who wouldn't) and then the deep soaker tub, the comfy king bed, the sunsets, the walking path to the beach, paddle boarded to Boot Key and saw a manatee (see more standing than with kayaks). The home was clean, comfortable, and easy to access. It had everything we needed for our stay. We actually only packed carry on luggage as we didn't want to check and lose our bags. Harvey was very responsive in advance with all the questions I had while packing. I loved the colors and décor and felt right at home in this gorgeous well kept house. You can watch the sun rise over the Atlantic from the kitchen window or chairs on the front patio, if you don't want to walk to Sombrero Beach. The commercial ice machine provided plenty for fishing off the dock, the boat, picnic lunch in a cooler, or for drinks! I sleep well in ac, but want to enjoy the outdoors whenever awake. Everything you want is within an hour so we weren't stuck in the car. My husband loved not having to do anything, and being perfectly content in the shade on the back deck or watching the sunset. The kids loved walking around Key West, parasailing, jet skiing, seeing the Key Deer, and also the Marathon Turtle Hospital! So much to see, can't wait to return! Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
