If you’re on the fence about this house, just book it. It’s perfect. As clean as a house can get, has everything you need, location is incredible, very private back yard, quiet dead end street, amazing back yard with pool and tiki bar, blue tooth outdoor speakers. Dock, fish cleaning table and commercial ice maker was super convenient. We spent the month of March in this house with our family of 5, our dog and our boat and will definitely be back. Look no further, I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

We had an amazing week in the keys at this rental. The property is everything it says and more (it is immaculate and well stocked) and the hosts were very kind and responsive. We fully enjoyed the kayaks in the nearby mangroves along with the pool and the bikes it provided a vacation that we didn’t even have to leave the house (although we did make sure to experience the keys during our trip at nearby restaurants and the turtle hospital) key west is only an hour south and islamorada less than an hour north. We had a perfect week and already trying to figure out when we can make it back.

The kitchen was fully equipped with every convenience. Grill and Kayaks outside. The pool was large with plenty of chaise lounges. Pool was in the sun all day and heated to requested temperature. Cleaning service came in mid stay to change sheets and bring clean towels. Owner sent restaurant recommendations. We rent every winter and not always do the homes and outside areas check all the boxes. This home nailed it both inside and outside! We would definitely rent this home again!

⸻We had such a wonderful stay! The location is perfect—close to fantastic restaurants and just minutes from the grocery store, which made everything super convenient. The pool and tiki bar were a blast and made relaxing even more enjoyable. It’s truly a fisherman’s paradise; we spent lots of time fishing off the dock and were even lucky enough to see a couple of manatees swim by! The house itself is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very well maintained. The owners were incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even better. We can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend staying here!

Outstanding vacation property in Marathon

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay in Marathon just to get away from work and have a quiet week together. This place checked all the boxes for us – very clean, well maintained, exceptionally well outfitted from the kitchen all the way down to outside toys – bikes, fishing rods, etc. The pool and tiki bar area were fantastic, and we spent a good deal of our time lounging outside and enjoying them. This place did not disappoint and we will be returning in the very near future.

Best Vacation

We spent 2 weeks at Harbor Hideaway and had the best vacation. The property grounds, Tiki hut, pool & views are incredible. The house was perfect and immaculately clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking and dishware needed, which for us is very important as we like to cook in a lot. Larry was always available and helpfull. He responded to any emails I sent within minutes. We have been using VRBO for years and this is one of the best house we have ever rented.

This is our 3rd year staying in the Keys for Thanksgiving. We have absolutely loved everything this home had to offer. Top notch details, down to the beautiful art work. Our kids took full advantage of the pool, everyday. We were able to rent a boat for the week and keep at the dock. Ten out of ten recommended this property.
