Picturesque View

We all had an amazing stay here and never wanted to leave the house! We either cooked dinner at the house or brought back take out food while we appreciated the picturesque view from the deck. The pool was a perfect size for the kids and they played there for hours. Also, the owners have a paddle board and kayak available to use right off the dock! No need to rent kayaks or paddleboards. Also, the water was calm enough to paddle right near the house. We saw so much cool wildlife. It was like we were on our own private island. We saw manatees, a beautiful turtle and lizards just off the dock. Also, my son fished right off the dock. The owners let us use their fishing poles which was nice! The sunset was amazing and even at night, we were mesmerized by the full moon. Also, there were many places within walking distance from the house. In addition, there was a sidewalk nearby for running or walking. Also, there was a gym within a short driving distance that offered daily and weekly passes. There was even a Publix within a short distance from the house. There are many activities that are close by as well including kayaking, Sombrero Beach and the Dolphin Research Center. The owners are very easy to communicate with and responded quickly for any questions that we had. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to others!

Perfect Location!

We had a wonderful stay! The dock was perfect for fishing, launching kayaks/paddle boards and just sitting with a drink watching the manatees and gorgeous sunsets! The deeper area in front of the dock was great for fishing/docking larger boats. Further out are shallow sea grass beds that were perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding without having to worry about boat traffic! The house was clean and had everything we needed for an awesome week in the Keys!

Great trip!

The listing represents the house well. It was extremely clean, which is greatly appreciated. Communication was fast and friendly. We enjoyed the dock, as many have mentioned. It was ample in size to keep our boat tied up and still offer a view. The wildlife was as hoped—a manatee visited on several occasions. The week flew by with all of the fun activities. I wish we could have stayed longer. The only thing to note, the paddleboard is not an EPS & fiberglass type. I guess it was a blow-up kind with a surface that left anything that touched it blue like a Smurf. We'd have chosen to bring one or two from home if we knew. This point is probably unimportant to most! Other than that, everything was perfect!

A terrific find

This was our first trip to the Keys and we really loved The Lobster House-- a bright and cheerfully decorated beach house located directly on the water with dock off the deck. We had five adults (two parents and three mid 20s adults) and had plenty of room. Comfortable furniture, everything we needed. Check-in/out were very easy. The hosts were quite helpful and reached out to us before and during our stay; they provided helpful suggestions for activities, shopping and dining in the Marathon area and in Key West, which is about an hour's drive south. We enjoyed the back deck with porch and table/chairs providing shade, hot tub, fishing off the dock, green light for night fishing and watching the many fish and sea birds. Neighborhood is quiet and felt safe, many restaurants within easy walking distance. Hope we'll be back sometime-- can't go wrong with this one! Would give more stars if I could!

Wonderful Marathon oasis

Wonderful house, just as described. Had everything you could need. Kitchen well-stocked, beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed seeing Manatees right at the dock, fishing was fun. Beautiful view. Owners were very nice and responsive to a very minor issue; quickly resolved. One note: there is a small airport (non-commercial); private jets, tour helicopters, military, behind the house on the far side of the main highway. If you spend time at the house, you will notice the air traffic. Nonetheless, beautiful, comfortable property, close to tons of activities. This is a can't miss rental.

Best location for stay in the Keys

Beautiful home, best location we could have asked for. When you step out onto the patio, you are steps away from the oceanfront dock. Beautiful view, had so much fun not just fishing from the dock, but watching the fish. As far as we could tell, this was the only house that had a night light for fish. We really enjoyed watching them and catching them. This location is about 5 minutes from Sombrero Beach, a little over an hour away from Key West. We enjoyed eating at Porky's, the key lime sweets and ice cream at Sweet Savannah's, and breakfast at The Wooden Spoon, all close by. A huge highlight was watching the most beautiful sunset at Sunset Beach Park, also only about 5 minutes away. We normally visit the panhandle in FL and stay in a beachfront condo on the beach there. The family agreed this is the closest to the ocean we've ever stayed, completely different type of FL trip. There is a paddleboard available at the house that our oldest son enjoyed using (right off the dock) and the "Ringing the Bull" hook and ring set up on the patio was enjoyed by all. Fishing poles were provided. We bought a few things missing in the tackle box and were good to go. The house is well equipped with everything you might need in the kitchen. Bathrooms are equipped with blow dryers and magnifying mirrors, something these older eyes appreciate. Rooms have individually controlled AC, another feature great for our group. We won't hesitate to book here again on our next trip to the Keys.

Fantastic Property & Location

The Lobster House is wonderful. We found ourselves not wanting to do many other activities because the dock was so nice. We enjoyed many hours of fishing and sunrise/sunset gazing directly on the ocean. The house is recently remodeled with great style. We enjoyed everything about the property and hope to return soon.
