Waterfront Home w/ Dock beside the 7 mile bridge

Family vacation in Marathon: We planned a vacation for two and since it was school break. week-ended with 4 adults and 2 children. The house was perfect. The grandchildren loved the loft especially the "shark" comforter.The kitchen was stocked with just about any utensil we could need. The house was clean, had more than adequate linens and the waher/dryer was a huge plus.The deck and canal provided entertainment for all ages.The location was excellent and peaceful. The use of texting for information was very good, and the one time I needed to speak to someone for information,it was easy.

Well appointed and maintained vacation home in a great location - on a lagoon with lots of wildlife, beautiful shaded porch with table, lounge chairs, landscaped for privacy. Perfect for two couples - with opportunities for walking, biking, kayaking, fishing, dining, shopping right outside the door. Spent time daily on Pigeon Key bridge - biking, walking, watching rays, sharks, turtles. Minutes to great beaches - Bahia Honda and Sombrero - and all of the dining/ shopping options in Marathon.Kitchen was well appointed with all manner of pans, blenders, utensils, knives to do whatever cooking/ baking/ eating in was desired. Beds were very comfortable and living space suitable for gathering with four people - porch provided additional shaded living space for hanging out and eating.Ground floor utility room/ laundry was perfect for storing bikes, fishing equipment, kayak gear, etc. A couple of minor issues that arose were quickly dealt with by the Island Breezes team of Robin and Randy (i.e. toilet tank running continuously).Exceptional rental… we will be back!

Island Breeze was one of the best vacation homes we have ever rented in the Keys. Very clean and great location. The dock was very large and perfect for our 30ft boat. Lots of fish and life in the bay. Caught plenty of fish right off the dock, but they get pretty smart after a while. Caught Tarpon right outside of the lagoon and 7mile bridge fishing was minutes away. The ice maker was a plus. Saved us a lot of $ from buying ice. Bait freezer was nice and large too. Beds were also very comfortable. One thing they could add that would attract fishermen would be a bait cage, buckets, cooler, and possible pinfish trap. We did donated a couple buckets and a cooler for future renters to use. I highly recommend this place.

I will not bash this property because the bed and deck were fabulous but I'll be honest about the home! 1) Island Breeze Realty was great to work with on the rental. 2) I had to order a TV in order to watch ESPN and other channels. Their TVs recieved about 12 channels and 5 were in Spanish. Two tvs were about 20 years old and there was a smart tv was in the guest bedroom but you needed a ROKU code to add anything to the 32 inch television. 3) The furniture in the den was old and small. All the cushions were worn out. 4) There wasn't a can opener with the kichen utensils and utensils were marginal. 5) The floor fan was so loud that it couldn't be used. 6) The deck was large and had a great view. The deck furniture sat so low and you couldnt see over the hand rail while relaxing. 7) There is a house about 20 feet away. The steps going to the houses are shared. 8) The house is quite tight for 2 couples. One family would be okay. 9) The neighbors next door live there and are wonderful. 10) There is a sewer plant close by so be prepared for the occasional odors. 11) There is an ice maker under the house. The ice maker in the house doesn't work so be prepared to go up and down 20 steps. 12) Great fishing from the pier and wonderful location for boating in the gulf and ocean. 13) Sunset grill is a short crawl away. I feel the amount of money I spent for 3 weeks that it should be better.
