We stayed for a week in March, the place was immaculate and perfect for the two of us. It was well stocked with the essentials. The dock was great for our small boat with quick access to either the ocean or Gulf waters. The beaches were a quick drive away. Close access to several restaurants. The hosts responded very quickly to any questions we had regarding the property, things in the area, etc. If we are in the Marathon area in the future, we would definitely stay here again.
Nice home, great location on canal with nearby ocean access
The home was just as pictured on vrbo, convenient location on the canal just a few hundred yards from the ocean. The home was clean and well appointed, close to restaurants and stores. Parking right in front of the house was very convenient. Maximum number of people I would recommend would be only 3 or 4, it's a nice home, but not overly large. We had a blast fishing off the dock right behind the house - we caught snapper, barracuda, and almost had an eel. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Part of the dock was missing from Hurricane Irma, but it ended up being advantageous because we used the kayaks that were at the house, and it was easier to put the kayaks in the water and get into them in the area where part of the dock was missing. The owner sent a list of things to do and places to eat which was helpful - we loved eating at Frank's Italian Restaurant and going to the Turtle Hospital for a tour.
We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was exactly as stated. We wanted to stay next February but it is booked. Kris and Naja were wonderful hosts! We were sorry to see our time end

Better suited for a fisherman
House was a little disappointing considering the price. Owners were very kind and communicated well with us. Some of the furniture may be new but the sofa and the bed?? Dock was not finished. The view was beautiful! May be ok for a few guys fishing but not a couple.
Location was perfect, clean , quiet so peaceful great having our boat right there close for my dad he is 90 . AC nice and cold easy check was a plus. Thank you!
Clean quite confortable small cottage tucked away in Marathon very close to shopping,fishing,boating and state parks.

About the host
Hosted by Naja Murphy
My wife and I met in 1990, and have been paddling and fishing ever since. We paddled Ecuador's Amazon, Hawaii, and Alaska's bays and even tried some white-water in Whistler. We caught amazing fish in the Florida Keys and Ecuador. However, the clearest waters are in the Florida Keys, and that's why we built our small but fun vacation business in this area. I'd tell you about my boating adventures, but I probably will need my own website to do that.
I would not call myself a professional paddler, but we are a multi-generational paddling family. I crewed in college, and my son did the same. We've explored many of the Gulf-side islands and passes of the Florid Keys.
Two memories stick out the most, catching a wave on a Hawaiian outrigger canoe and lobstering off a paddleboard with an air system in the Florida Keys.
Why they chose this property
This home has direct ocean access. You can literally paddle to the flats in minutes, turn and still see the house. If you have a boat, even better. You will be able to access the Gulf and Ocean in minutes.
What makes this property unique
One of the things I like best about this home is eating breakfast and looking out at the ocean. The difference between this home and others is that you can boat and paddle once you're done with breakfast and become part of someone else great view. The ability to access so many things is truly unique. Whether it's Sombrero reef, the Gulf, or numerous patch reefs, this home put's you at the center of it all.
What about food and beaches? We have excellent dining in Marathon and one of the best beaches in the Keys (Sombrero Beach) - just minutes from. our home. There's even a dog park nearby.
