Everything about our stay was great! We got to see the manatees off the dock, enjoy the pool, bikes and kayaks. My only suggestion would be to clearly mark the step on the grey decking on the dock. We had someone trip on the step and fall, luckily not into the canal!

This property had everything your family could possibly. The pool was amazing and had pool toys and floaties to use. The sunsets from the top deck was a perfect way to end each day. The bikes and kayaks were also great to use. The kitchen is fully stocked and we never felt like we were missing something. The property was clean and very well taken care of. We will definitely be back!

just got back from a wonderful stay in marathon, we were 5 adults. Very good communication from host, listing was also accurate in every way. Having a home on a canal in the keys is a treat, we rented a boat for 3 days, recommend the cruise through Sombrero Bay and around Marathon, what a great day. Plus, we saw manatees almost everyday in the canal. The included amenities were very nice, we rode the bikes and kayaks frequently. The house itself was very nice, clean, and updated. Close to many things, only an hours drive to Key West and having been to the keys before and drove from Miami Airport, this is the way! Never again. Very close to grocery stores which we visited way too often but that's on us. The pool was awesome and the perfect temp, the manager recommended heat, they were right, agree to the heat for the pool, they also supply many pool floats and toys so no need to bring your own. The outdoor area overall was where we spent most of our time playing cornhole, playing cards at the very nice outdoor table, or lounging in the many loungers and chairs. There is construction going on nearby, this is an up and coming neighborhood, but the house is very soundproof so we didn't hear it while inside. I miss being there already and wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

Very attentive and responsive property manager. Convenient location to all places in Marathon. Pool was well maintained, private from neighbors. Toilet paper and paper towels etc provided. Plenty of seating by pool. Great spot! Will be back.
