About the host

Hosted by Jamie MacPhee

Host profile image
We reside in sunny Southwest Florida, and the Florida Keys have always been our all-time favorite vacation destination. After years of exploring each Key’s unique charm and natural beauty, we fell in love with Marathon. We were fortunate to find our own slice of paradise and turn it into a second home, with the dream of retiring here one day.

Until then, we feel grateful for the opportunity to share our home with guests from around the world. We take great pride in offering a clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed space for others to create lasting memories with family and friends.

If you’re traveling with a larger group or looking to book two homes close together, be sure to check out our sister property, VRBO #3065525, conveniently located just next door. It sleeps up to 12 and shares the same peaceful street and beautiful waterfront views

Why they chose this property

After many vacations and thoughtful planning, we chose Marathon for its unbeatable blend of access, beauty, and community. We were looking for a waterfront home that wasn’t tucked away in a narrow canal but still provided safety, space, and open water feel—this home has all of that and more. It’s located in a serene cove, which gives us the benefit of calmer waters, protection from low tides or sargassum blooms, and the freedom to enjoy boating, paddleboarding, or jumping off the dock for a swim any time of day.

The home sits at the end of a quiet residential street and is fully gated for extra privacy and peace of mind. We love the relaxed, family-friendly neighborhood, where neighbors wave hello and everything you need—groceries, restaurants, and shopping—is just a short drive or bike ride away.
