“Come Sail Away” in Marathon
We were there for one week. The house was very good, clean and comfortable. It backs onto the sea and the view of the water was great. House had a beach theme decor going on that was not overstated, which was good as sometimes the decor of these types of places can get a bit too kitschy.
Check-in was seamless and property manager was responsive by text when a question arose about putting out garbage and recycling for pick up.
A couple of minor quibbles:
- there is debris that washes up on the shoreline constantly. While it would not be reasonable to expect the debris to be cleared daily, perhaps a once a week clean out of the debris by the property manager would have been appropriate.
- there is no cable or satellite TV. There is an internet based programming platform which was substandard and we could not get it to function most of the time. While most of our stay was spent outdoors, it would have been good to just have some live sports to watch if we wanted to in the evenings. Cable or DIrecTV is still the way to go, at least for the time being.
- no beach umbrellas. We went to the local beach a couple of times (excellent beach btw) - it would have been good to have had an umbrella. There were plenty of beach towels and chairs at the property, but no umbrella. Small detail certainly - but would have been a nice touch if an umbrella was included.
Overall the property was very good and we enjoyed our stay there.
