Had a great time here. Towels were clean everyday, coffee was available at the bar at our convenience, check in was simple as well as the door lock, happy with our decision to stay here, This is our 2nd time here and we will be back again.
Very cozy and clean place, very safe area, and across the street from shopping and groceries. 5 minutes drive to
beautiful Sombrero Beach. Will stay there again, if available, the next time we travel to the area.
What a great place to stay! Close to everything and they have their own bar and taco truck! Music is live every Tuesday and Friday from 6-9. We stayed in teal cabin and loved it!

Clean room & very comfortable bed. Family style atmosphere despite the tiki bar, not exactly our style but great for families! Perfect location and one of the best places to stay in Marathon. No beach view or access though.

The individual cottages are really nice if you are looking for something other than the big hotel chains. You won't find the standard amenities here....a little more othe rustic side, but that's what we were looking for. Staff's English was not the best, but again not an issue for us.
The room was clean and access was easy. The kitchen furnishings were sparse, and the WiFi was very unreliable.

Room was great and clean. Had a sweet cat that roamed the premises. Parking is limited to 1 vehicle but that was fine. Definitely would stay there again!
