Perfect out of town peacefulness

The accommodation is about 8 miles from Marathon itself so sits perfectly located by the ocean for peace and quiet but close enough to some fantastic restaurants and shopping areas.Accommodation is very spacious with all amenities catered for so you just need to turn up and sit on the beach straight away.Firepit is perfect for an evening of stargazing as it's so dark sat there.Andy was a great host and always answered any issues we had.I'd highly recommend this accommodation if you want chilled out peace and quiet right at the heart of the keys.Make sure to visit Marathon Steak & Lobster restaurant along with Castaway, 2 absolutely superb eateries about 15 mins away by car

Perfect Spot

I never liked Marathon but my husband convinced me to try it one more time. I am so happy he did. Your place was perfect. The area is quiet and not hemmed in by other homes, but close to beaches and restaurants. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed inside and out. The view was wonderful. We loved to watch the stars come out at nite. We will not hesitate to come back for a longer stay.

Nice comfortable rental, as described not a swimming beach but great views over the Atlantic. Great mid Keys location. Owner responded to the few problems that we had. Nice birding right across the highway in some backwater ponds!

Great Vacation!

This property was perfect for us! The location offered us the ability to explore other areas of the Keys with ease. The property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The view was absolutely beautiful and offered plenty of both sun, shade and room for all guests to have space. Perfect!

Wonderful Place!

Absolutely beautiful views and a perfect location! The apartment was a great size for the 2 of us. All our favorite places are nearby. Loved being able to sit down on the beach and up on the deck. Plenty of shade from the palm trees. Water is typical keys. We loved it and will definitely book again!

Great location. Great value

My adult sons came along with my husband and I for a week long getaway. We love the keys and because we were right on the water, I was able to still feel like we were "together" while the boys fished. The home is comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking. The master bed was quite comfortable and the roll away cot as well. The fold out queen left a lot to be desired..... All and all it was a really nice stay.

This property is wonderful!! You open your door to see the ocean each day. Nothing is more peaceful! Andy was very accommodating and communicative answering any and all questions quickly. The kayaks were a nice touch and the fire pit was a nice way to end the evening. Would definitely stay again!

It was certainly pleasant. I was disappointed that the beach was not conducive to swimming, given the rocks and debris.

Great Beach House!

This place is amazing! What could be better than your own beach? The house was clean, has a nice kitchen, a grill, kayaks, a firepit, an outdoor dining table, an indoor dining table and covered parking. The only issue that I found was you could hear the roadway traffic at night (which you cant do anything about). The owner was very pleasant to work with and answered all my questions before and during our stay there. I highly recommend staying here!

A perfect home base to explore the keys!

This place is a perfect home base to explore the keys! Half way between key largo and key west. The apartment was clean and comfortable and rite on the beach with grassy flats resort just two doors down. We were lucky enough to be there for their full moon party. I would recommend this rental and absolutely stay here again.
