This little pink house was perfect! Perfect location and the amenities were amazing - bikes, kayaks, special gifts when we arrived! Truly impressive. These hosts know what makes for a great stay and I would definitely stay here again next year. The location is perfect - we rode bikes almost every day - rode to Sombrero Beach and we even rode all the way to the 7-mile bridge and back. The kayaks were a lot of fun - yaked the mangroves by sombrero and also brought them to Curry Hammock for mangrove trip as well. We played games on the deck at night and could hear the fish jumping. The hot tub was fantastic. Although we didn't fish from the doc - all of what you'd need to do so was there! I would definitely recommend this place and would return!

We spent our anniversary at this beautiful home and it was perfect! The home was immaculate, linens were clean and cozy! We had everything we needed ( cooking utensils, spices, coffee) the host even provided us with snacks and fruit so we didn’t have to rush to the store. We spent every night in the hot tub and playing the outdoor games. I will definitely book again. We have four children and the house would be perfect for our whole family.

This is a perfect location in Marathon, close to the beach and everything is a bike ride away. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. The kitchen was well supplied and included a number of welcome gifts including an unbelievable key lime pie. I used the hot tub every day and biked everywhere. The canals were fun to kayak.

We came right before Hurricane Milton. The hosts were great about staying in touch with us and giving us weather updates. The house is lovely, the hot tub was my favorite - just the right temperature even in the heat! We were welcomed with amazing snacks and water. The hosts touched base throughout our stay and worked hard to make sure we had a relaxing time. We've stayed in several rental homes and this was one of my favorites. The location was also perfect.
