Been visiting the Keys since 1992. Had a wonderful visit for a first time in Marathon. Kids loved the pool and dad loved fishing off the seawall. Great location, private, quiet and luxurious. Rented a 19 foot boat from cocos and kept it safely on the sea wall all week. Great location to run out to fishing or snorkel the reefs. The Sargassum is everywhere in the Keys now and this location gets a reprieve because it doesn’t build up on the sea wall. It moves on which is nice. Saw a sea turtle and also the manatees swimming by were breathtaking.

Great house for a family getaway!

Very nice house. Comfortably fit 6 adults. It was nice being right on the water and the saltwater pool was great. Easy access to lots of restaurants and Sombrero Beach. Close enough to Key West for day trips. Greatly enjoyed our stay.
