Location was great with direct ocean access. Pool was perfect for multiple adults and kids. It was especially nice that the pool gets shade from the house in the hot afternoon. The ice maker outside is a must have in the keys. It saves daily trips o the store to refill coolers.
As a note to the owner, the fridge ice maker in the kitchen was broken and it is a pain to get ice downstairs every time. Also, need more silverware and basic utensils. We had to wash forks after every use.
Overall a great house that can accommodate a few families.

We had such a wonderful stay in Marathon, and this home was a perfect fit for two families, with four grown children. The canal, floating dock, pool, bedrooms, and additional refrigerator- made our 10 day stay amazing. The location in Marathon is close to everything, and just a little to close to Paradise Flavors for afternoon ice cream/popsicle treats!! Jay was extremely accommodating and prompt to jump on all the issues we were presented with. A note to all renters- if you make a mess, break things, ruin/steal kitchen and cleaning supplies- you are just making life for the next renter miserable. Just be a decent human and leave the home as well as, or a bit nicer than you found it! We reported the issues to Jay, who immediately had everything handled with the Handi-Man and supplies shipped in... a huge thank you to him for jumping on the issues and being a wonderful host!!!! Thank you for opening your home and sharing paradise with us! We look forward to returning soon!

We had a great week. The location is great in marathon
Nice having the ice machine and freezer outside. My two year old loved the pool. The cleaners were still cleaning at check in time so we had to wait over an hour to get in the house.

Property is great for a group of friends or family to spend time together. Pool was fantastic and being able to keep the boat on the bulkhead made for easy boat days, having ample parking for a trailer was a great bonus as well. Would definitely come back.

The property is great - pool was awesome for me and the family - there are a couple areas in the house (bedrooms) that need attention near the ducts. Overall the property was good.

We stayed 2 weeks. First week couples(6 people) and 2nd week family (10 people) plenty of space for everyone . A lot to do right in the property. Pool was such a plus. My son brought a sailboat and that with the kayaks provided a lot of activities.
Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

This property was the perfect place to bring the children and grandchildren for a family vacation. The property was clean and included so many extras. The pool was especially perfect for young children and the adults alike. The steps allowed the young children to play while adults relaxed. There were daily visits from the manatees. There was plenty of space for three different families and two dogs. Location is close to restaurants, grocery store,fishing charters and the beach, but not on a main Street. The host was very responsive to any needs although we had very few. Would definitely stay here again.

This house was perfect for our extended family vacation! It was in a great location for fishing and close to all that Marathon has to offer. It has a lovely bait cooler and ice machine. The pool was great for all ages. Plenty of bedrooms and hang out areas for everyone. Two fantastic carports that kept our vehicles shaded from the sun. Exceptional property!

We can't wait to return.

Excellent location, right on the canal.. Children loved seeing schools of fish, manatees, having kayaks was a plus, the swimming pool and pool equipment for kids was also a plus. Kitchen well equipped. Furniture and outdoor area could be updated and upgraded.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great week! Love the location of the house just minutes away from the ocean by boat. We had fun watching the manatees in the canal everyday. our kids especially love the pool and how they keep it so warm so they could swim at night. Had all the extras like paddle board, kayaks pool toys, chairs for the beach. There’s a coffee shop and ice cream bar right down the street. Also, a clothing gift shop, Birkenstock store and another ice cream shop a little further (walking) overall loved this place. Would stay again!

The house is very large and very well located in Marathon. There was a small problem with the pool when we arrived, but the owner immediately contacted the pool company, and it was fixed the next morning.
It was convenient to have a dog park next to the house.
Internet could be better, my partner had a little trouble working (50 mbps).

Property owner is great to work with! He responds quickly to all communication. Location is excellent - close to grocery store and a great little coffee shop. The house is pretty much as described. It would have been nice to have a working coffee pot and toaster. We would definitely stay here again!

I was surprised things we didn’t think we needed and needed the property had. Loved the location and the spaciousness. There was more then enough room for all of us. The pool and access to water with paddle boards was a bonus!
5.0 / 5.0
We can’t say enough great things about this rental. Beautiful property inside and out. There were a total of 11of us and we had plenty of room for everyone. The location on the channel was ideal for a few of the fisherman in our family. We’ve been to the Florida Keys many times, but this trip was by far the best. The owners have made this rental and its extras family friendly. We have used VRBO for years and this rental did not disappoint. Thank you, Jay, for your hospitality and we would love to stay here again!

Pleasant and quiet waterfront home.
This property was everything we where looking for as far as atmosphere, and it was a nice place to relax, after exploring the keys every day. The owner was quick to answer any questions or concerns and even was understanding when we had a mishap with an animal. The only thing that could improve this place further is the addition of a Roku or firestick for the televisons. None of our party watches cable and only one TV had YouTube or Netflix. Plenty of towels, laundry supplies, kitchen utilities, and even bluetooth speakers avaliable it was a great addition to our stay!

This property was just perfect for us! The location was perfect, the house was perfect, the pool was perfect, along with the grill, the kayaks and everything else! Would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous Family Friendly home!
Wow! The view, the pool, the kayaks, the baby safety items, the well stocked kitchen!!!
This home is amazing! I have never been at such a child friendly home! Fixed gate at the top of the stairs was great!
The Sun shelf on the pool was perfect for the 4 year old and 18 month old to gain confidence to swim on their own within the first few days with swim vests. The pool items, swim vest and connect four was a huge hit! Plenty of beach towels!
The best part is the spray fountains around the pool. Fun in the daytime and beautiful at night! Hammock was fabulous and enjoyed.
The downstairs living area was great for quiet play in the evening before bed, build a puzzle and just visit.
The bathroom downstairs is perfect for space and great shower.
Downstairs beds are firm and better for children than adults.
Fooseball table in the foyer was a hit.
Wonderful kitchen that was well stocked for cooking. Lots of windows to look out on the canal.
The porch was wonderful and we spent many hours watching the other boats come in, the tide move in and out, a school of fish that was there everyday. Loved seeing the manatee and pelicans.
3 bedrooms upstairs, one is a master with a crib in an adjoining space was a real bonus for us. High chair and toys were great!
The home has been loved by many I am sure. Normal wear as expected.
The owner was very quick to respond to all questions.
Would definitely love to return again.
Thank you for opening your home to us.

Filled our needs
The pool, dock, canoe, paddle board, and kayak were great! Our family used them a lot and made our stay at the house very enjoyable. Could use more drawers in 2 bedrooms and closet in 3rd bedroom upstairs should be to put clothes & shoes, not vacuums and cleaning stuff. Loved the back porch and foosball table. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Very kid friendly
We had 4 grand children with us ( 2 1/2 years old down to twins at 11
Months old ). At no time did we feel the place was unsafe for them. That was the hardest thing to find was a kid friendly place. This is definitely the place. Winn Dixie and Publix are a mile away. The kitchen was accommodating and if you wanted to go up it to eat the food was delicious everywhere we went. The neighbor Rob was so nice and he will take you out on his charter boat fishing. We flew into key west airport which is only an hour and 10 minutes away. And we also visited there a couple days too. Sombrero beach is right by the Publix and the kids loved it. This was a very great memory making family trip.

Great centralized location in Marathon!
From booking to departure, Jay was great! He provided prompt responses to all questions prior to arrival & throughout our stay. And I love that we were able to bring our doggos!!
The home provided everything we needed for our week-long trip.
We slept in the master bedroom & the bed was very comfortable! The bathroom also had a nice big shower & tub - the shower was great but we didn't use the tub (too hot for a bath in August!).
The kitchen was very well stocked (better than most I've stayed in) which is a big plus! They even had a cabinet dedicated to plastic cups that could be taken down to the pool area. My boyfriend loved the stove-top with the griddle in the middle & the ice machine & outdoor freezer by the pool were clutch - great idea!
The pool area was nice & very well kept. We took full advantage of the bikes & kayaks, which was nice to have already on-site. We also rented a boat for a few days & were able to dock it right next the house which was super convenient (note: there aren't any stairs leading down to the wooden dock on the canal so you may need a little help getting back up to the pool area from the dock).
We took a shuttle to Key West for the day & were close enough to a bus stop that we walked to catch the shuttle. You can also walk across the street & book a helicopter tour!
Restaurants we enjoyed were:
La Nina (great Cuban sandwiches & a good hogfish sandwich). The Key Fisheries is also a good place to stop for lobster rolls & a shark show - they have all kinds of fish & nurse sharks that hang out right there at the dock of the restaurant.

Another great vacation in the Keys!

Family fourth
Perfect spot. Easy docking, quiet canal, the house was great for the 12 of us and had enough space and more for six adults, two adult sized teen boys, a teen girl, tweenage and two others. Bikes were a plus, kayaks were fun, pool was the perfect place to cool off after fishing. Communication was great. Easy access to house. Plenty of parking for 3 vehicles and a boat trailer. We had rented a boat and one family brought theirs. No docking issues.

Keys on the canal
The downstairs ice machine was a great bonus. Kids had plenty of space to play games or pool. The kitchen is fully equipped including some food items and condiments. We used the kayaks and brought our own paddle board. We saw manatees and had coffee on the balcony. It truly was exactly what we were hoping for.
