Absolutely Perfect – Best House We've Booked in the Keys!

We stay in the Keys every summer, and the Sailfish House is by far the best rental we've ever booked. The home is absolutely beautiful, incredibly well-maintained, and had everything we could possibly need for a perfect stay. The attention to detail is unmatched — even the kitchen knives were sharpened, which seems small but speaks volumes compared to other rentals we've stayed in.Chris from maintenance was fantastic and super helpful, especially with showing us how to use the dock whips. Meredith was also amazing to work with — this is actually the second property we've rented through her, and just like the first time, she was wonderful, responsive, and made the entire process seamless.For the first time ever, we are already seriously considering booking the same home for next year. Sailfish House truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly, highly recommend!

The perfect family getaway!

This is an amazing property! Very clean and beautifully decorated. Lots of space for a large group. There were nine of us ranging from three months old to 64.We loved the location on Marathon Key! Key West is only an hour drive, but we spent less more time right there onMarathon. So many activities available there. Snorkeling, parasailing, deep-sea fishing, the aquarium, etc. The view from the house was amazing with so many activity options right there. The pool was wonderful. Ping-pong, corn hole, bicycles, beach, chairs… I could go on. I think we used it all. Meredith was amazing! We would love to stay there again… It was really hard to leave! This will always be one of our favorite family memories!

incredible vacation

We had an amazing time at the sailfish. The location was great. We have stayed in this area before and we love it. They had everything we needed. We brought so much extra stuff that we didn’t even use it. The set up of the home to get/store your fishing gear, bait freezer and proximity of the dock was great. The response from the property manager Meredith was quick and easy. All our questions were answered immediately. One of boat dock poles was disintegrating and we called and it was fixed right away. We are super happy with our stay that we even booked it for next year!

The Tides #6

Excellent property! Easy check in. Property exactly as advertised. Had four adult couples and property had plenty of room and spacious bathrooms for each couple. The pool was a perfect size. The views however, are what make this property exceptional. We spent the majority of our time when there, outside on the spacious upper floor balcony, in the pool or on the dock fishing. Marathon is a great city with multiple attractions and great restaurants, but also roughly a 1 hour and 15 min drive to Key west and a forty min drive to Isle Marado. We were there a week and went to Key West three times one in which we rented a boat for a day on a sand bar in the water. Overall great experience.

Could not ask for more!!

Superb communication before stay, Pete, property management tech, was coincidentally there at check in and was SO helpful with tips and the property itself HAD EVERYTHING! (Pool, snorkeling, biking and fishing supplies, paper products, well supplied kitchen, security, lighting, bbq) All the little things were thought through. Bedrooms met our needs ++, and common areas allowed us to spread out. Our 11 person family reunion was completely set here- Book this place!

Florida Keys Family Vacation

We loved our time with our children and grandchildren at this property. The home and pool area were every bit as nice as described. Everything was very clean. Property management responsive to the couple of questions and needs we had. This property was perfect for our family of 10. Enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets! Nice central location on the Florida Keys.

We had a wonderful stay. Our children loved the games, ping-pong table, hammock and pool. We saw a manatee and several small sharks from the pier. It was a perfect rental to come back to after a long day of exploring and adventuring around the keys.

Super Chill Vacation

We had a very relaxing vacation in Marathon watching the pelicans float down the water. This property is gorgeous, well-appointed, super clean and tucked away in a great location. It had everything we wanted for our family of two adults and two teenagers; pingpong table, pool for floating, games, plenty of space. We had a couple questions during our stay and they were answered and addressed quickly. This property has everything you could need to make meals at home, and is very close to tons of great places to eat. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were spotless, kitchen was well-appointed. Definitely recommend this property for a family vacation!

Great Vacation

Overall we all had a great vacation. The dock was very lively with lobster, nerf sharks, bull sharks, manatee, tarpon, iguanas, sting ray, and several other fish. The family really enjoyed watching it daily and nightly. The pool was cute, the house is amazing, and its a great location. My only complaint would be that we couldn't use the paddle boards or kayak as the codes given didn't work, or the lock was rusted shut, but the current in the channel would only allow a morning or evening ride or take them to a beach.
