The "Bird of Paradise" is a stunning single family, private pool home located DIRECTLY on the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy incomparable panoramic views of the azure waters of the Florida Keys.

This 2,300 square foot home features a private in ground pool. The Gulfside location of this home means the water at the swimming platform can be very shallow during low tide down to as low as 1.5'. Please take note that dockage is good for flat boats, kayaks & jet skis. Enjoy incredible sunsets and water views from the Gulf Front pool and outdoor area.

This stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom beauty boasts all new furnishings and a brand new gourmet kitchen complete with granite counter tops. The exterior of this home was freshly painted.

Relax and enjoy the splendor of a Florida Keys sunset from the expansive screened porch that overlooks your own private pool.Go on an adventure with the included kayak and paddleboards that you can launch directly from the back yard and explore the abundant sea-life surrounding the area. The lovely Gulf front pool will ensure you enjoy every day in the Keys as you relax around the azure waters. Pool heat can be provided upon request on those rare chilly days. The fully fenced in yard is perfect for your pets to enjoy paradise as much as you will.

This Florida Keys vacation rental features all of the comforts of home including laundry facilities with a full sized washer and dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen with all appliances, cookware, dishes. Your home will also have a toaster, blender and coffee maker for your use to make your stay feel more like a home away from home.

The home has central air conditioning and numerous ceiling fans for those warm tropical days. There are ceiling fans in the dining and living areas as well as in all the bedrooms. The flooring throughout the home is wood laminate and tile to make any sandy feet no problem after a long day at the beach or on the water. In the glassed-in Florida room, you find seating and a dining table overlooking the pool and the Gulf of Mexico. This room is cooled and provides a great place to watch the sunset into the Gulf of Mexico and end another day in Paradise.

Please keep in mind that all homes in the Florida Keys can be subject to sea-grass blowing in with strong winds. The grass is where our sea-life live and reproduce and can cause an odor when it accumulates. Just a small price to pay for Keys living!

The common areas are open and inviting and offer plenty of seating areas as well as a sleeper sofa in the living area. Enjoy open water views from many locations throughout the home. The queen and bunk rooms + living room have smart TVs with Xfinity access while the master bedroom is Xfinity only.

"This was a nice home on on the water. It has a private dock which reaches far enough out into the bay that we were able to fish from and caught several grunts and barracuda"

"Ideal Location, Great Views, and Lovely Pool"
We stayed at Bird of Paradise and had our holiday of a lifetime. After reading the previous comment we were worried about the seaweed but took a chance because we wanted a private pool along with access to the ocean. When we arrived we were pleased to find no weed and no smell. Just a clean, fresh new looking house with great bayside views. We enjoyed all that Marathon has to offer with great diving, restaurants, shops but most of all the fishing was superb! Coco Plum was great and very easy to deal with. Looking forward to returning again next year.

A great family vacation

Beautiful Vacation Home 
5/5 Stars

"This place was amazing. Beautiful view to wake up to and to go to bed too. The pool was a definite amenity for our group. The house and accommodations were great. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it for anyone wishing to have a tropical scenery, and the convenience of shopping, dining, boating or just relaxing by the pool."
