We visit the keys every summer, this was our first time renting this house and it was great! Even though it’s behind the airport you can’t hear the air traffic from inside the house. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids!

This is a great house with a very helpful property owner. We love the screened in porch, the pool, the dock, and the view of the airplanes. Beds and rooms were very comfortable and clean. Quiet street with little traffic!

The place is beautiful! The neighborhood is very quiet, the house was clean and had everything we needed. We loved hanging out at the pool after a busy day. The pool gets afternoon sun. Lots of jelly fish in the canal along with manatee. Favorite place to eat was Sparkys and The Key Colony Inn for happy hour $5.00 appetizers.

We loved our stay. The house was laid out perfectly. The deep freezer under the carport was nice to store ice in. The parking was plenty for our boat trailer (22ft boat) and 2 SUVs, plus some! The step-down dock made it perfect for getting in and out of the boat. We were entertained by the air traffic from the airport. It's pretty awesome to watch FWC and others patrol the sky for mini season. The only complaint we had was the A/C difference on the bedroom end of the house (more than likely due to poor duct installation). Kids sleeping in the living room had to freeze so the bedrooms could cool down and be comfortable. We just slept with doors open and managed just fine. We had to use 33rd St to launch our boat due to the Aviation Blvd ramp being closed. However, we did take our boat out at the Aviation Blvd boat ramp at the end of the week. Communication was a breeze with the owners before, during, and even after our stay. We would love to return in the future!

Everything was great for our week in Marathon. The small touches made a big difference. The owner even left two fishing poles and tools out on the porch in case someone didn't have a pole. All is as described. Wonderful week!

The house is perfect for 2 families. The location is behind the airport so yes there is plane traffic during the day. The bulkhead has a great cutout with stairs to access your boat. The canal is 7-12 feet deep and 25 feet at the mouth coming into canal. There is actually decent marine life in the canal from manatees, mangrove snapper, nurse sharks, barracuda, parrot fish, and more. This makes the boating access 24 hours a day with any tide. Many places in the keys are only accessable at mid to high tide and this place has no restrictions to tides. The boat ramp is very close on aviation blvd is not busy, even on a saturday but it only allows double axles or less for launching. The house itself is a normal 3/2 thats all tile which is set up very well. Beds and bedrooms are decent sized and the bathrooms are as well. Air conditioning works well and the screened in porch is lifesaver when the bugs come out. Having the BBQ grill on the 2nd floor is lifesaver as well considering the kitchen is right there as well. The fiberglass pool was clean and didnt burn anyones eyes. The deck and dock worked out fine for our 21 foot boat. The lights on the deck and dock are very nice and help a great deal at night. Parking for boat trailers is more than adequate and there are hoses located all over the house. The house has some extras that add a very nice touch. There is a deck box full of pool floats and noodles. There are 2 fishing rod set ups, box fans, chest freezer, and hoses

The house is a great place to stay in the middle of the Florida keys. It was clean, cozy and had great amenities like the pool and dock. Would stay here again!

Stayed here March 18-28 2023 everything was great. Occasional noise from airport but nothing terrible. Had a problem with gas grille one night, not sure why, it had worked the previous night. Pool was just right. Saw manatees in the canal. Host were very accommodating and friendly, and on site while we were there but rarely seen.

Wonderful house. Wonderful hosts. The house is very well taken care of and is quite beautiful. We saw manatees, tarpon and nurse sharks in the canal. It's a quick boat ride to the gulf. We spent a lot of time in the heated pool. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen complete.

My MO brother and wife and my CA sister never made it to our two-week family reunion. Luckily my husband’s MD friend joined us in the lovely 3 bedroom home on a canal, with a private pool. The location is excellent if you like airports. I completed my daily aqua pt exercises as hubby plays golf nearby. We enjoyed sunsets at Sombrero Beach and on our 8-Mile Bridge walks.

We enjoyed our stay in Marathon. Larry kept the pool heater on which made the pool warm enough to swim in, even when temperatures were cool out. We enjoyed fishing in the canal in the backyard and it was cool to see manatees in the canal.
Location is great and only a couple minutes to the main road in town. The neighborhood is mellow and mostly quiet (you will hear some plane noise from the nearby airport). The home is comfortable and well equipped. We would stay here again.

Great location and plenty of space
We stayed at this property for mini lobster season. All communication was prompt, property was as described and was in a great location. Boat ramps close by, and a five minute idle to the gulf. Highly recommend this property if you are planning a trip to the Marathon area of the keys.

WONDERFUL HOME:)
House was very clean and comfortable! Slept 6 perfect! Definitely could accommodate 8! We had everything we needed to cook a meal (minus food). Pool was clean and well maintained. The canal was perfect for launching our kayaks to watch the sunset in The Gulf!
Checkout was super easy! And they didn't make us clean house before we left! That's a great bonus feature:)
You won't be disappointed in this rental!!

This is a beautiful property. It was so clean and comfy. My family enjoyed every day spent there.
This property was so beautiful and peaceful. My family was so impressed with how organized it was. The cleaning system in place was so easy to follow. All dishes were non stick so cleaning dishes was a breeze. The neighborhood was quite and peaceful. I would recommend anyone who is planning to vacation in the Keys to rent this property. It was so beautiful and nicely kept.

Perfect vacation spot for a family or adults only
Located in the heart of the keys. So much to do in this area and a short distance to explore other keys. We really enjoyed sombrero beach. My husband did a half day charter and caught quite a bit of yellow fin snapper that we brought to lazy days to have them cook for us. We did a day trip over seven mile bridge down to key west. House was clean, beds were comfortable and pool was delightful. Hated for the vacation to end. Look forward to going back next year.

Perfect house for our family of 5
Our family of 5 (3 kids ages 12-16), really enjoy our stay here. The house was very clean when we arrived. The whole house is very spacious, especially the kitchen. We enjoyed the pool, which was the perfect temperature. The location is very convenient too. Larry and his wife were very helpful and quick to respond to anything we needed. We appreciated their booking flexibility, which for us was a Monday to a Monday stay. (We found many places will only allow Saturday to Saturday reservations.) We would definitely come back here!

Spotless Vacation Rental
Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay in this very spacious house. Right on the canal so we were able spot some great wildlife right at the dock! Manatee, nurse shark, parrot fish, jellyfish and various birds. We rented kayaks for a week and enjoyed paddling out for sunset. We didn’t use the pool much as it was shaded for the most part at the time of year. But we went to Sombrero Beach a few times.
Larry and Terinda were great hosts and helped with anything we needed. Highly recommend this rental and would stay again.

Very Clean and Comfy
I have stayed in many VRBOs and this was the cleanest ever! My bed was so comfy I never got that ' I cant wait to go home and sleep in my own bed' feeling. The heated pool (pool toys and towels included) and screened porch were awesome. The kitchen had everything we needed and a large refrigerator. It was the perfect stay for my husband and I with our 3 adult children. We did not want to leave and would definitely rent this home again!
