It was a beautiful miniature cottage with a nice, fenced-in outdoor toilet and shower. The kitchen in the room was a bit small, but you won’t need anything larger, especially if you are only staying a few nights and eating out for most of them. I would definitely book this room again next time I am in Marathon. The large TV in the room also came with Netflix and other streaming services for free whenever you wanted to watch something.

Always clean quiet and comfortable. Great Island atmosphere. Convenient food venue and tiki bar to unwind.
Tropical Cottages was an amazing place to stay for our Anniversary week. The cottage was cleaned daily and none of our personal effects were touched. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back!
The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially the Spanish lady at the reception.
The bed was comfy, clean room, outdoor bathroom and shower was amazing.
The only thing i didnt like was that they charge you extra $26 if you want to check in early.
The bar prices here are cheaper than most bars in the area and the food truck/trailer food here is good quality.

The Cottage was charming, very clean with a very comfortable bed. Good sized refrigerator/freezer and spacious kitchenette.
The property atmosphere is very nice. The tiki bar area had some music playing but it was not too loud so I appreciated that. Conveniently located in the middle of Marathon and easy access off of US1. The only downside I saw was that there did not appear to be space to accommodate a boat or trailer should I decide to bring my boat with me on a future trip.
This was a truly unique stay extremely private, very quiet. On property there is a tiki bar and taco truck serving wonderful food and great drinks with beer on tap and other choices.
We felt very welcome.
We sat in the Adirondack chairs outside our cottage, and there's also a private area through the French doors in our cottage, number 2.
We arrested in the most comfortable bed. The cottage is well air-conditioned.
Eerything about that college is extremely comfortable
We had delicious tacos and fabulous drinks the night before.
There are a couple of well-cared-for resident kitties on the property who are friendly and the staff was very helpful and attentive.
