Love the location
No major complaints at all. There were a few little things that didn't really matter as far as our enjoyment of the house. The Keys are great.

Amazing!
We loved staying here and would stay here again! The hosts were responsive, kind and let us check in early. If you're reading comments and concerned about some of the negative ones, let me set your fears aside - the house was lovely and the water equipment worked as they should. The furniture/decor is a bit dated but that did not negatively impact our stay. The kayaks all worked great plus there was a paddle board in the basement/garage/storage that we could use. The dock was a bit precarious so just use caution. We loved being right on the water and took full advantage of the deck and fire pit. The house is at the end of the street which is quiet. We were a short drive to Sombrero Beach which was our favorite for a no-fuss beach. If you need a different sunset view, check out sunset beach. Cools views of the sunset but amazing views of the water - we saw so many different types of sea life right off the dock!

Fantastic location!
This is a fantastic location! Paddleboard and kayak from the dock. Saw turtles daily. Private and quiet yet close to restaurants and grocery stores. Just need to replace the bedroom ceiling fan.

Marathon Key Hideaway
We were pleasantly impressed with the quiet neighborhood and scenic view that this rental provided. The house was very clean and well furnished with all the amenities of home. The Marathon location allowed for several short jaunts to Key West and local restaurants.

Amazing View
The view was amazing! Overall the house was a disappointment, so dated. There was no waste basket in kitchen. The master bath tub didnt drain, the toilet ran and the fan in the bedroom went 1 speed , SLOW. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable. One chair on deck was broken, there shoukd be bath fans in both bathrooms . There was no grill and no hot tub. I know pools are expensive, but you couldn't swim in the water out front. Kitchen had some cooking utensils, but limited. The batteries died in the keyless entry, but thankfully there was a lock box with extra keys. The weather was fabulous, but for the price we paid, the house wasn't good for us.
