Home was very clean but also warm & inviting. We had travel delays and the owner assured me it was no problem. They also were very prompt to respond to any questions. I would definitely stay again if we come back to the area.

Had such a great time here, we loved the spacious house, extra freezer for bait, and the view from the balcony. Great location near Vaca cut for easy bay access.

The house had a great view. It was very easy to relax in and enjoy. The hot tub was great and very nice to relax in. Our entire stay was excellent, with no problems at all. The house is beautiful and was just right for the two of us. Very easy to communicate with the owners and they were very quick to respond. We would stay there again in the future. Thank you.

Thanks so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear the place was clean and spacious and met your expectations. We appreciate the note about the cookware—definitely something we can look into upgrading. Hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay at Reel Catch. The house was clean and everything was in working order. The dock was perfect for our 18' boat and parking the trailer under the house was a breeze. We would definitely return to Reel Catch when our plans take us back to Marathon Key.

We have been to Florida quite a few times and this was our favorite so far! The house was perfect, it was clean and they provided some essentials to get us started. They have a dock right out back that we fished on every night and caught a bunch of fish and even had some amazing visitors (3 manatees and a nurse shark) we went to the Cabana Club a few times, all of the staff was so friendly and the pool was spotless, they have a bar with some food as well and a private beach. Marathon was quite but not to quite! Highly recommend visiting Key West and also going to Bahia Honda state park and doing their snorkel tour it was perfect and not expensive at all. We will be back!
