This is a very nice place with all kinds of great things to do just there at the house and plenty more a short drive away! My kids loved it especially the pool hot tub and fishing right off the dock. The host is very accessible and responds quickly. There is even an elevator to haul your heavy bags up!

A bit disappointed this time

Let me start by saying it’s not all bad. 2nd time at the property. First time much better. We came this year to renew our vows which were amazing by the dock just the 5 of us. Permission by Tim thank you. A couple of hiccups some worse than others. We come for three to four weeks as we own a company that’s open all year long. We need long unwinding with our family. The home is where we thrive. Especially this time I had sciatica and driving made it worse coming from Ct. my husband the same back issues. My first complaint, which had been last years as well, BEDS! Too small for couples. Small queen. We gave the second floor to our sons as it is easier for us to be on 3rd floor with kitchen and living room. Our bed had no topper for 2 1/2 weeks before Tim gave us one and it was a full size instead of queen and unfortunately didn’t work made sleeping worse. Our backs were compromised even further. One of my sons left earlier and I slept in that bed to give my husband space. The beds on second floor better softer. New sofa bed I noticed but the only seating and we were five people. Very hard. Outside on 3rd floor deck was where we had our meals, inside high table not convenient. The bar style no back on stools not good and only 4. Chairs outside the material mesh ripped we had to bring up the chairs from 2nd floor deck. We were without tv in 3 bedrooms for 5 days. We are tv people especially when our backs were not well. We are low key vacationers. 2nd floor toilets would flush most of the time and then others you needed to flush them more than 5 times before everything flushed. Water stopped running for a whole day that is not cool. Not Tim’s fault of course. Barbecues filthy couldn’t use. Water bugs in bathroom yuks. Told Tim he put some motels. The steps had some carpet tops and I had to take them off because they kept moving and my daughter n law tripped. A hazardous situation. Tv by jacuzzi didn’t work at all the whole 3 weeks. The elevator which I told Tim about when he was there fixing tvs was so noisy that when my husband would take my dog out at 6 am would wake everyone. Tim was really helpful thank you. My opinion for the amount of time and money spent on vacation in this home there should be a better response to getting these small things done. Yes small I’m a diyer but I was not going to fix things on my vacation. We will be looking elsewhere next year unfortunately as we are planning on 4 or more weeks. Thanks

Nice house in good location

The house was nice, checkin was excellent, however several things did not work properly. For instance, the sleeper sofa in the downstairs bedroom was broken but the 6 year could sleep in it but the bar was very uncomfortable. We used a blow up bed for the 8th person. The stove top stayed red as if if it was hot but it stayed red the entire time. The filtered water on the refrigerator did not work. The thermostat kept reverting back to 78 degrees if you did not adjust to the temperature we wanted every 2 or 3 hours. This was very difficult during the night and several nights you woke up because we were hot and turned the thermostat to 72. When we checked out instructions were to have all dishes put away by 9:30 am. We couldn’t run the dishwasher for our coffee and breakfast so we just wash them. Not sure this is very sanitary. Otherwise we did enjoy the pool and the people we met were very nice. The rooftop was very nice but we could only use it the last night of our stay since the weather was so hot. The hot tub was very nice as well.

This was a great property. Very comfortable for 8 people. My teenagers loved the short walk to the dock and the pool. My younger boys loved watching all the fisherman come in on the dock. The house was nicely stocked and the PM was delightful. We plan on making Marathon an annual trip.

Marathon Getaway

We loved our vacation stay. The location was excellent. We were very close to all of the things we wanted to do and enjoyed the house and the amenities. Our only complaint would be the comfort of the beds. We all had trouble getting moving every morning because the mattresses were not comfortable at all.

We usually stay at rv resorts. This was our first time renting a home in marathon

The house was very accommodating. Clean and the area was lovely. Neighbours were lovely as well. My pet peeve the beds were uncomfortable small and sheets were warm, very noisy every time we moved or turned, very little sleep. In the bedroom we slept in 3rd floor corner ceiling had a big hole, window had a beehive outside of it. Last week 2 houses down we had a family of motorcycles am pm very loud. My 18 year old dog was happy with elevator as well as all of us very convenient. Although I knew all the accommodations ahead of time I should’ve asked about the beds. I will rent again it’s nice to have a house . Thank you appreciate everything.

Pros but more cons

Pros: There is an elevator so nice for bringing up suitcases. The decor is nice. There are several gathering areas that are nice, especially rooftop. Cons: Not clean. Dirty and stained carpet. Dirty surfaces including doors, cupboards. They advertised spices in kitchen but none available. We were told it was due to covid but neighbors had spices in their unit. Hot tub is grimy with dirt and sand. Called for service but still dirty and we have all owned hot tubs so we know you can get them clean. Three separate neighbors who have rented multiple years said this is one they have heard not to rent.

Fantastic Birthday

I rented this property because we wanted to do different things in both ends of the Keys and this property was a central location. Michelle was super helpful in making sure we had a fantastic time. We had issues with getting the fireplace to work and she messaged me back right away and we were able to enjoy the rooftop view and the fireplace. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It was cozy but still had enough room for the teens to have some separate space and enjoy the pool and hot tub. If we come to the Keys again we would rent again.

This property was truly a home away from home! Our family of 4 plus our dog, had plenty of room. The home was clean,comfortable and very inviting. We felt very safe walking in the neighborhood,using the dock for fishing and cooling off in the pool. Property manager was on point in communicating with us when ever we needed her. I would definitely recommend booking this property for your family vacation!
