Muffett's place is excellent! Centrally located in Marathon, but far enough off of Hwy. 1 that you don't hear the traffic, and you couldn't get any closer to the water. My husband was very happy with the onshore fishing also. The apartment is also kept immaculately clean and has everything you could need for your stay. We've already booked for next year!

The property was ok, host lives upstairs and is a people person. There was dust on some of the cabinets and the ac filters, but nothing unbearable. The shower curtain could be changed. The property could use some updates, but overall was fine for my husband and I. There is limited parking if you have a larger vehicle. The second bed folds down from the wall in the living room/kitchen area. The second bathroom is outside, it does have a shower to be used prior to getting into the pool.

This property was absolutely stunning! We had the most wonderful time. The views of the Gulf, the sunsets....saw Dolphins and loved watching the pelicans. Muffet has thought of everything for a perfect stay. The living space was cozy and comfortable. We loved hearing the history of the space and the functionality was amazing. It's secluded and quiet, yet mere steps away from the hustle and bustle of Marathon. We biked most days to the beach....did a few day trips to explore, but our favorite times were relaxing at the property. We did not want to leave and are already planning our return trip.

Muffet (the host) is such a nice person. Considerate, helpful, laid back and quite funny. Very accommodating. The "apartment" was great. Had everything we needed. The property is a quiet oasis in a very busy area. Plenty of room and very beautiful spot. Fishing from the dock was very productive using chum from the bait store right down the street. Almost every sundown was spectacular! This is a very special spot. Highly recommend.

This was our third stay at Muffet’s beautiful home. Her home is spotless and the perfect amount of space for me and my husband. The entire property is a very peaceful area to get away from the stresses of life. She is such a kind and welcoming host and treats you like part of her family and allows you to feel at home when staying there. We can’t wait till we can return again.

Amazing stay. The property is just magical. We spent a lot of our vacation at the property. Best sunsets in the keys. Muffett is the best host and makes sure everything is perfect. We have stayed here many times and its our favorite spot in the Keys. Our home away from home. Close to everything yet very private.

Yearly lobster trip

Location was perfect 2 streets away from the boat ramp couldn't ask for better accommodations everything you could possibly need and more. First time we ever stay where the host lived on the same property, was a little concerned at first but Moffett was very nice and accommodating. The place was spotless Had great weather the week we stayed

What a special place with so many personal touches that make a beautiful property feel like a home away from home. This worked perfectly for our family of three and we were so thankful for Muffett’s hospitality. It was a quiet place with beautiful sunsets and access to both a pool and private water access for snorkeling and swimming. We left property a few days but mostly just enjoyed all the beauty on site.
