Family Vacation

This house could be a very nice vacation home for families or anyone, but unfortunately this house is not being kept up to what it is being advertised. It is not clean at all. This place needs a deep cleaning and the home needs to repairs done correctly instead of cheaply.

One problem after another vacation stay

Prior to booking this stay I disclosed I had three small dogs under 15 pounds along with two boats that we were bringing on vacation. Apparently both were a problem once we checked in but the owner/property manager never said anything to us until we got there. Within 24 hours things started to go wrong with tub drains backing up, faucet falling off the kitchen sink, gate lock to main pool broke and other pool gate is in major need of repair which was a real safety issue with our small children. Our first night we all looked for a blanket for our beds and not one bed blanket was to be found. The next morning we were dropped off a bag from Dollar General with one samll blanket and two used lap blankets filled with hair. OMG!!! The kitchen was ill equipped with disgusting trays, one dirty cutting board and lacking serving trays, salad bowels, NO Potholders and one old dish towel for the week. After burning two meals on the stove we figured out stove is not working properly and burners cook on one setting only- high. The home is in a wonderful location but home is poorly maintained, dirty furnishings, soiled carpet on staircase and lack of good property management and cleaning. Not the vacation we had hoped for with the maintenance man coming by everyday to take care of another issue.

We were surprised it was a duplex. No kayacks but listed on amenities. Needs updated furniture and a good cleaning. Loved the pool and dock for boat. Kitchen well stocked and beds comfortable. Overall a good vacation spot.

Love this place

This house is in a great location, has everything you need and is very nice. Only thing I would say is if you are planning to paddle board or something like that it is hard to get on and off the dock. But other than that it was amazing and would recommend to anyone.

Spring Break Heaven

This property was everything we needed for our Spring Break out of the frozen tundra and into paradise! Perfectly located, with bikes for the teenagers to get to the beach and go shopping without worry! Fishing was excellent, there were manatee in the canal behind the house, and the pool was perfect for our daughter to hang out in all week! With shopping so close, running for a refill of anything was no big deal! Marathon is an incredible place to vacation and this house was everything we needed!

Clean nice house for the money

The house was centrally located at mile marker 50 in Marathon with super close convenience stores gas stations and restaurants. Pool was clean the dock was nice. The house was adequate for eight adults with four bedrooms and three baths. The only negative was the 25 to 30 minute boat ride from our dock to open water.

Overall Very Good

Pros: convenient location, comfy beds, nice pool & pool area (plenty of chairs and shade), new washer, dryer & dishwasher, great neighborhood for biking, balcony off of the living room, shaded carport, open floor plan, good-sized kitchen. Cons: local maintenance man is kind of rude, a few things are broken (kitchen faucet handle, micro handle, TP dispenser), poor shower pressure due to oversized shower heads, and needs a deep cleaning.

Our stay

Great location in Marathon. House comfortably slept our group of 7. Pool was nice and having a washer dryer was great. When we arrived the microwave handle and kitchen sink faucet were held together by duck tape. The bikes had flat tires and no pump to pump them up. They did drop off 2 additional bikes for us to use.

Has potential

The house definitely needs a deep cleaning and some maintenance done. There was absolutely no cold water. The location is good. It takes about an hour to key West or islamorada. Publix and Walgreens are very close, just a couple minute walk. The listing says 5 minute walk to sombrero beach, more like 30-45 minutes one way. We did see manatee in the canal behind the house!! The pool was really nice. There are 4 beds and only 2 throw blankets in the whole house. The kitchen sink handle did fall off but the maintenance guy came the next day to put it back on. Overall the house did the job but wouldn't stay there again.

Nice place but wouldn’t stay again for the price

Nice place but lacked routine maintenance, upkeep, and cleanliness. Entire place needed deep cleaning. Had to clean bathrooms and floors first. Outdoor grill was unusable and we had to buy parts to be able to use, animals in trash cans every night as there were no lids, outdoor freezer was unusable for food and could be used for bait only, couple kitchen appliances were broken, patio furniture was really rusted, patio side table falling apart, kitchen faucet broke (George came to fix), small bedroom lamps had to be unplugged to turn off, refrigerator/freezer shelves broke. We had to repair toilet paper holder as it was broke, the vanity knob, and hang upstairs closet door back on. Wouldn’t stay there again.

Maintenance Needed - not clean

Not as clean as it should be, when I did call George about this he came to see what I was referring to , ( baby bottle with milk found under tv, coffee stains on cabinets, filthy trash bin) Refrigerator was very loud, blender was cracked could not be used, handle on kitchen faucet was broken. Water pressure was minimal especially in master bath. No bikes were provided as stated in description , when I called George he finally agreed to bring a few. Overall we had a good vacation but I wouldn’t rent this house unless the owner does a major cleaning and maintenance.

This place was just OK

The property has what appears to be long term maintenance and cleaning issues. The appliances had problems. Kitchen sink faucet handle broken. Refrigerator was very loud. Microwave handle broken. Many lightbulbs were out in canned ceiling lights. The kitchen supplies dishes,utensils, etc. very limited.The sofas were TERRIBLE - DIRTY, AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. The sunset was beautiful, but the sun is so blinding, without curtains or blinds, it was hard to enjoy. The owners changed the cable tv to streaming without notifying us. When we called they did come out with a bag full of Fire Sticks, power supply and remotes. They were in the house about half a day doing the conversion. George, the maintenance man was responsive but did not fix a lot of the items (fridge, microwace, sink, light bulbs,, etc) stating he would fix them after we left. This place needs to be updated, replenished, and cleaned top to bottom. The location is good, but everything else could be so much better. We did enjoy our stay regardless of these issues but it was not worth the cost and we will not rent there again.

Duplex in the keys for mini season

I'll start with positives...comfortable beds, close to the beach and less than a block from grocery stores, roomy enough for the 5 of us (not sure how it would work for 10 ppl), fairly well stocked kitchen (except for utensils..mostly spoons). Negatives... this is a duplex, meaning if you have people next door they may use your parking and dock space, which is what happened to us, the place needs major upkeep and a good cleaning, there was dog hair in the sliding doors, couch, pillows and sheets with wear stains, the pool had papers and lots of leaves at the bottom, grass was overgrown, the ac filter was covered in gray nastiness, things falling apart like toilet paper holder and sink faucet. One afternoon I arrived after being out all day looking forward to hanging out at the pool and the lawn maintenance people were there cutting grass and trees which I feel could have been scheduled for a date when no one was using the place perhaps.

Good stay with even better potential

This is a nice unit. It has a ton of potential. Some general upkeep pertaining to paint, linens, towels, etc is needed. The reported 15 minute ride through the canal system to open waters is every bit of 30-35 minutes. Nice to have four bedrooms and they were kind enough to allow pets. We enjoyed our stay.

First Time in Fl keys

Location, location location it's so close to Publix and winn dixie you could walk there. Coast to Coast pizza is amazing for authentic NYC style pizza. The house was as described and well kept. The only suggestion I have is for bath mats for getting out of shower. Fl land crabs in the front and back yard were cool to see when they weren't hiding from us. Had manatees off the deck haning out for a good half hour. Pool was perfect after a day at the beach or on the boat. Sombrero beach is under 2 minutes away by car. Must check out 7 mile bridge for sunset and Bahia Honda State Park for snorkeling. Would definitely stay there again.
