Our family enjoyed another amazing week at Hookdown Hideaway. The home is beautiful and situated perfectly to capture views of the ocean and the canal. We loved spending time in the pool watching birds, lizards and iguanas. Looking forward to staying here again!

The house was exactly as described maybe even better. We have stayed at many properties in Marathon as this was by far the best. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything you will need for cooking. There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels. The beds were very comfortable. Easy ocean access and close to Vaca Cut. We are already booking for next year and plan for many more years to come!

What an amazing place!!! I woke up everyday to a full view of the ocean, every morning I sat and drank coffee with a perfect breeze, watching the sun rise. The house is clean, convenient, and has beautiful views from every direction. There’s so so much I could say, but I believe you don’t want to miss the opportunity to stay at this wonderful home.

Incredible Property

It was everything that was advertised and more. Very nicely decorated, perfect layout, and incredible views. The pool was huge and put on a light show at night, which the kids loved. We had the best vacation here and did not want to leave. Thank you to the owners for sharing your property with us.

Complete relaxation

The owners did not leave one amenity out. The outside pool area is amazing. We didn’t spend much time inside, the outside was perfect. We had a great breeze off the water and enjoyed a visit from a manatee the 2nd day there. Highly recommended property!!

Paradise in the Keys

We loved our vacation at Hook Down Hideaway. The home was beautifully decorated, clean, and had everything you could need including beach towels for the pool. What our family most enjoyed during our stay was lounging in the pool/hot tub, the scenic views, sunrises and wildlife sightings. We saw lizards, iguanas, pelicans, herons, tarpon and lots of other birds and fish. Already looking forward to our week next summer.

2025 family vacation

The house is absolutely amazing!!! We couldn’t have dreamed of more. So well stocked we didn’t feel like we were missing anything. The house, pool and water is absolutely stunning. We had such a great time and enjoyed the pool and fishing each day we didn’t want to do much else. We caught sharks every day, saw manatees, beautiful coral fish, crab, lobsters all standing by the rocks looking out. We are definitely going back!!!
