This place is amazing!!! We instantly felt at home! The host provides everything you could ever need to have a perfect vacation- bicycles, kayaks, fishing poles, a private dock with a fish light that attracts fish, a pool with toys- we could not have asked for a better time! They even have a manatee that makes daily visits. We will definately stay again!

Great vacation location with handy travel and check-in information provided prior to arrival. The house was wonderful with clean and well-maintained grounds and pool. Views were spectacular and the covered tiki was a welcoming outdoor element. We will return to Mockingbird Pointe again in the future.

Absolutely the best home we've ever had the opportunity to spend our two week vacation in Marathon! Philip and Linda were amazing hosts. Communications were excellent from the moment we arrived. Philip called to confirm everything was in order at their home, which it was.The homes amenities were outstanding! From the bikes, kayaks, fishing equipment, full kitchen, and wonderful pool, everything was provided. We've already made plans to return next year! Thank you again, Philip and Linda, for sharing your amazing home with us!Regards, Peter and Michelle Hill

Relaxing Retreat

Our stay was amazing! The house is wonderful! It is situated among large trees and lush landscaping making it feel private and secluded, but is also close to stores and restaurants. The wrap around porch and pool area were very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. Philip and Linda are great host!

Amazing property. Feels so private and secluded. Very nice full size pool that actually feels refreshing in the summer heat. Great dock access makes docking your boat very easy. Kids caught more than 40 fish from the dock, but the many tarpon hanging around were too elusive unfortunately. Owners are great. Kids want to come back next year!

We loved everything about this house! The tropical landscaping is gorgeous and adds to the private and secluded feel of the property. The dock was a hit. We saw fish, sharks, and a manatee. Plenty of room for our 22 ft boat. We had everything we needed and more. The host was quick to respond to our questions and truly the luckiest person to own this beautiful home

Let me preface this review by saying I'm a "Freshwater Conch" who went to Key West High School and have returned to the Keys over and over for high school reunions and just to vacation.This is a Beautiful property in the heart of Marathon, which I think is one of the best Keys mainly because it's not overrun with tourists. Only an hour from Key West, this perfect waterfront home is comfortable and nicely appointed like an island house should be. The landscaping is beautiful and hanging at the pool is relaxing, with the waterfront just feet away.We used the bikes and the kayaks and even fished a little bit off the gorgeous dock. Mockingbird Pointe has everything you need to enjoy your waterfront stay.To sum it up, we plan on moving to the keys one day and we thought this house would be perfect type of house to live in and enjoy the Keys life during our retirement!I highly recommend this VRBO and owners Phil and Linda who made our stay so perfect. Great proactive communication and attention to detail!
