The Neighborhood:
Staying in Marathon means being right in the heart of the Florida Keys, where world-class fishing, boating, and island adventures are part of daily life. This home puts you in the perfect spot to explore both the natural beauty and the vibrant local culture of the Keys.
Just a short drive away, you’ll find Sombrero Beach, a family-friendly stretch of soft white sand with calm waters — perfect for swimming, picnics, and watching unforgettable sunsets. For marine life lovers, the Turtle Hospital (about 10 minutes away) offers an incredible behind-the-scenes look at sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation.
Fishing and boating enthusiasts will appreciate Marathon’s many marinas and easy access to both the Gulf and Atlantic. You’re also close to Crane Point Hammock, a nature preserve with walking trails through tropical hardwood forests, a museum, and scenic overlooks.
Hungry after a day of exploring? Guests love local favorites like Island Fish Co., known for its oceanfront dining and fresh seafood, and Papa Joe’s, a cozy spot for comfort food and cocktails. For everyday convenience, Publix is just minutes away for groceries and essentials.
Even better, Marathon is centrally located in the Keys. Drive about 1 hour north to experience the lively nightlife and famous sunsets of Key Largo, or head 1 hour south to vibrant Key West, where you’ll find historic landmarks, live music, and iconic Duval Street.
Whether you’re here for relaxation or adventure, Marathon’s mix of natural beauty, family-friendly attractions, and authentic island charm makes this neighborhood one of the best spots in the Florida Keys.
Getting Around:
Marathon is best explored by car, making it easy to reach beaches, restaurants, marinas, and attractions spread across the island. The home includes private under-unit parking, so you’ll always have a secure spot for your vehicle.
For those flying in, the Florida Keys/Marathon International Airport is just a 5-minute drive from the property, while Key West International Airport is about 1 hour away, and Miami International Airport is about 2 hours away.
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available in Marathon but can be limited, especially late at night. Taxis and local shuttle services are another option if you prefer not to drive.
Public transportation is minimal in the Keys, so we recommend renting a car to make the most of your trip. With a car, you can easily explore nearby favorites like Sombrero Beach, Crane Point Hammock, and the Turtle Hospital — all within 10 minutes. Day trips to Key Largo (about 1 hour north) or Key West (about 1 hour south) are also a breeze.
While a few restaurants and shops are a short drive away, most attractions aren’t within walking distance, so having a car ensures you can enjoy all the beauty and activities Marathon and the surrounding islands have to offer.
