The home is lovely, and very comfortable. The location of the home, and landscaping make it feel very private in the middle of town. Having the dock, and the pool are just wonderful. This home was an absolute treat, from start to finish. Check-in was a breeze, any communication was swiftly answered, My family and I try to travel to the keys each year, and I believe we would 100% re rent this home. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable! Book this home you’ll be glad you did. No over the top rules, very reasonable, check out rules were simple too. Honestly can’t say enough wonderful things.

We definetly recomend this house. The house is amasing , it has 2 levels with a view of the ocean, tropical garden and a warm pool. The house is beautiful as is the yard and palm trees. The location is very convinient, there are many restоrants, grocery stores, and many activities, We visited three beaches that were close by. The house has a deck facing the ocean, it is good to enjoy in the morning, for fishing, and kayaking. We saw many big fishes on the deck and one day a sea cow come to us and swam near the deck 15-20 minutes. The host, Lisa is very welcoming and supportive person. She answer and helped us very quickly.Our vacation in this house was perfect. Definetly Recommend!

Beautiful Accommodations, Private & Scenic

The home is absolutely lovely. Clean and comfortable. Having our own pool was fabulous and enjoyed every day. The dock walkway thru the mangroves out to the open water was great. Location is perfect to allow easy drives to Key West or Key Largo.

Mar Azul Marathon Florida

We recently stayed seven days at Mar Azul. The picture sand property description on VRBO's site were very accurate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. It was spacious and the views from the two decks were amazing. The pool was very clean and the water temperature was perfect for us. We would definitely consider renting this place in the future.

Tranquility

We were able to stay at this tranquil retreat for two full weeks. We explored the keys and used this retreat to cool down and refuel at the end of each day. This home offers a great balance between privacy and stunning views. The pool was a tropical oasis. The house and grounds were immaculate! We loved everything about Mar Azul!

Family vacation

This is more than a location to sleep; this is a destination. Our two children (8 and 6) had all of their needs met at this house. Between the iguanas, the heated pool, and the wildlife on the dock, all of their needs were met. Although we did adventure out ( sand bar cruise and sea turtle hospital), we were happy to return to the house. Grandparents joined and thoroughly enjoyed the location. We were so happy with our stay, and we look forward to booking another stay next year.

Marathon Oasis

No joke, this is a multi-million dollar luxury home! Views are top notch! Location is perfect. You literally feel like you are at a little resort. My only word of advice is that it is designed for adults and older teens. It’s just not set up for little ones. (Thank goodness my family is past that stage). Would be a phenomenal honeymoon spot! Master bedroom suite with veranda is to die for! I hope we can return!

Best Vacation!

This property is great! Lisa was wonderful and very helpful. The description was accurate and the photos don't even begin to describe how beautiful it is! The property was very clean and well-maintained. We would definitely recommend this to our friends and family. Annette's Lobster and Steakhouse was excellent food and for good food and GREAT atmosphere we would recommend the Sunset Grill and Raw Bar. For breakfast definitely the Stuffed Pig. Wonderful time and great memories!!

Look No Further!

If you're looking for a one stop shop - this is the place. It's centrally located amongst the Keys with plenty of options to choose from during your stay. It's private and in a quiet location. The view is absolutely beautiful from the decks. The landscaping around the pool is so tropical - makes you feel like you're in private oasis. Fishing off the dock was fun plus we saw dolphins, manatees and more right at the dock - it was so cool! The amenities both inside and outside the home were great - beds were comfy too! For me, the only minor drawback was the dryer - it took at least 2 dry cycles for small loads. Lisa was a terrific host - very responsive. We will definitely be back!!

Tropical Paradise

What a beautiful home, centrally located in the Keys. The house was clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. It’s also conveniently located close to stores, ice cream shops and restaurants, and not far from Sombrero Beach, one of the best beaches on the Keys. We loved the private grounds with the pool, and the walk to the dock through the mangroves, where we were able to easily launch our kayaks that we had delivered for the week. The decks offer a beautiful view where we caught the sunrise almost every morning. Lisa was an excellent host, very attentive and quick to answer any questions. We would love to come back, we highly recommend Mar Azul!
