We are sad to leave today. Our family vacation was packed with fun, rest and wonderful memories. This house was perfect! It had everything we needed. The attention to details was incredible. The backyard was stunning. Online pics dont do this property justice. It exceeded our expectation and we cant wait to book this home again!!
This property was ideal for a group of 8 adults. The house layout, the yard, pool, landscaping, this was a read find. The street is quiet, the location on the canal and views of the ocean were spectacular. Hope to go again
This house was amazing. Clean & spacious inside along with the outside. Pool was wonderful & maintained. Dock was right there for the boats to pull up too. Then a big plus was the ocean was 2 houses away. Definitely recommend staying at this home.

Wonderful Home
Bill has a wonderful home in Marathon that we highly recommend. The home is very nice, roomy and the pool and back yard are a great place to hang out and relax. Bill is very attentive to your needs and I assure you that you will a have great stay and will want to come back.
What an oasis in marathon, FL. Fishing paradise. Accomodations were just right for our family and friends. The owner was very nice and professional and quick to respond. The canal was a little tricky to get in and out of just have to be careful. Highly recommend!
Everything about our stay was great. The house was beautiful and spacious. Had everything we needed. Kitchen was well supplied with all the appliances you would need, nice pots and pans, and lots of serving dishes. Landscaping was very well done. Sitting by the heated pool was luxurious. Lots of fishing of the dock including two small sharks! Beach is a short walk. Grocery store is very convenient. Owner was very responsive and helpful with suggestions. As far as I’m concerned, the only thing that was missing was maybe some pool noodles. But, I could have bought one at Publix for 5. At dawn and dusk, there are biting midgies or no-see-ems. The fan under the tiki hut helps to keep them away. After dawn and dusk they go away. Would highly recommend staying here.

Tropical Oasis
This is my second rental from Bill his properties are phenomenal. The Key Marathon home is ideal for large family and friends looking to enjoy paradise. The outdoor living space is a beautiful, love the outdoor cooker and the tropical privacy! Kayaks are on property and a short ride you out of the lagoon and on the ocean. We paddled to the mangroves, enjoy the sunset and even saw two Manatees. The house is beautiful inside and out with plenty of room to get lost. The ice maker in the kitchen is hands down the best idea. LOL
Bill also gave use recommendation for fishing. We caught five sailfish in a half day fishing trip. You can't beat that!!!
Yes...this place is great! I hope you can enjoy it too!

IT'S A "WOW" RENTAL!!!!
Walk in the front door and you can't help but exclaim, "WOW!" A beautifully furnished kitchen and living space welcomes you to a week in the Keys paradise! Step out the patio door and find the living space continues with a very private backyard featuring a heated swimming pool, areas for eating, playing, sunning, grilling, fishing, and the very popular outdoor shower! Our family, with several grand babies, had a fantastic time in this unbelievable rental. Each family unit loved having their own private bedroom and bath area. We enjoyed the very short walk to the sandy shores of Sombrero Beach and the great playground there. The manatee sighting at our own dock was an added bonus! Everything was just as the owner had indicated it would be! As we were packing, I sent several email inquiries to the owner. They were always answered promptly! The owner loves his house, and we love his house! We appreciated how clean and inviting the house is and hope the next time our family needs a vacation home in the Keys, this one is available. It'd be hard to find one as family-friendly as this! Thanks, Bill, for helping make our Christmas week extraordinary!
Marathon is a great place to stay with Publix right up the road you don’t need to stock up on the mainland. This property is absolutely breathtaking and the pictures don’t even do it justice everything is fantastic in good condition and amazing. Check in process was seamless any issues were taken care of by the property manager right away we would definitely love to come back here again.
We came down for mini season. Weather and waves caused us to be home more than planned, but we had a blast! The property is spectacular and the outside was absolutely perfect! The home was incredibly spacious and renovated to perfection! We will be back!
This house was as advertised. It is a beautiful home with all the amenities you would want. Very convenient for dining out, or grocery store and dinning in. We had 4 couples and we each had our own bathrooms and privacy. The house is very well maintained and very well equipped for all your needs. We Definitely Highly Recommend this Property.
Location of property within 100yards of Atlantic Ocean with great boat access. Kayaks and paddle boards available to use in the canals. Cleanliness was outstanding and clear communication with property owner. Very spacious and guest house was outstanding. Only had one recommendation from the people staying in guest house, “ they wish I went colder than 75.” All in all…10 out of 10 stay. I look forward to staying here again.
The house was amazing. Roomy everywhere. The kids lived staying in their own house. Proximity to the open water and the beach is perfect. Just a wonderful place to stay!!!!!
Celebrating early Thanksgiving with our family from across US. Plenty of room for everyone. Good fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding. Spent hours in and around the pool. Property was in a good location for boating. Sharks and manatees in the canal. Nice stay.
WOW! This rental is amazing!! This property is all you need for a perfect vacation in The Keys! The pool, dock, outdoor kitchen, and tiki hut let you know you’re in the keys and provide the perfect vacation without ever leaving the property. The house and cottage are impeccably clean and extremely well decorated. All amenities are high end, including appliances, furniture, and fixtures. The 3 bedrooms in the main house are very private, with each having their own full bath. This is the perfect location to give your family or friends a true taste of the relaxation and fun of the Middle Keys. The owner was easy to contact and always responded immediately. You will not find a better house or owner in The Keys. Rent this house!
This was the perfect place for a
relaxing family vacation! The home is spacious and the backyard and pool are absolutely stunning-a private oasis. The owner was responsive and helpful. We are definitely planning to return next year!
Spend a memorable week with our family in this Marathon, Florida gem. Plenty of room, heated pool, dock to fish and kayak from. Caught mutton snapper, catfish, ladyfish and small grouper. We used the kayaks several times and docked our rental boat for 3 days. Walked to Sombrero Beach and watched a turtle release. Kitchen is equipped with anything you can think of and a propane grill covered with a tiki hut! Outdoor sound system via the sonos app was awesome. We spent a large amount of time in the pool. Publix and K-mart (fishing license) at the end of the street. Thanks to the Blum family for sharing their little slice of paradise!!!
We stayed for two weeks and couldn't have been happier. Property was exactly as described. Back yard was extremely private, house was very spacious and the kitchen was well stocked. Publix and K-Mart so close was an added bonus. Bill was extremely accommodating and answered my texts very quickly. He and his wife even helped us get ESPN working on the main TV remotely just before the game started even though they were cheering for the other team...now that is great hospitality! Concrete dock was beautiful and easily accommodated our 24ft boat we rented. We saw a stingray completely jump out of the water in front of our boat, got a glimpse of a manatee, sea turtle and a dolphin. We caught MANY fish, including a 2-ft hammerhead shark! The iguanas, hermit crabs and geckos were fun to watch. They would visit frequently and "hang" with us at the edge of pool. I recommend this property to anyone, you will not be disappointed.
Every year we go to Marathon for our family vacation. This year we traveled with 2 other families. The accommodations very perfect. We have stayed at many different rental properties over the last 10 years in Marathon. This is absolutely the best place we have ever rented. Very clean, well stocked with towel and linens. Thank you to the owners for sharing their property with us! We will definitely be returning.
This property is beautifully maintained and it was so nicely laid out that everyone had their own privacy when needed. The location is perfect for boating with easy deep water access to both the Gulf and the Atlantic. The property was missing nothing - it was just perfect. The pool was very warm - almost too warm, but it sits all day in the Florida sun. Beware of lots of Iguanas! We named one "Gramps" - he often came out and watched us in the pool or sat with us on the pool deck while cooking out. My only complaint is that whoever is contracted to pickup recycle material never showed up. We'll definitely be back!
This was a great property to stay in. We had 2 families and we had plenty of space. Loved the outdoor area, pool size was perfect-although the water was very warm, nice in cooler months but no so refreshing in the summer, despite that, we used the pool every day and night-probably one of the larger pools of any house I searched in Marathon. Very private too. Kitchen had everything we needed. Fridge was large and we had the other fridge in the small cottage if we needed more space. Loved the 2 ice makers-they came in extremely handy. We rented a boat for4 days while we were there. Docking can be a little tricky, but we figured it out. House is very close to the open water, but parts were very shallow so be careful going out. House is in a residential area so it's nice and quiet. This house had everything we needed and then some! The only thing I would change in this house would be to add more seating to the living area...there is a large couch, but still plenty of room to add a couple of large comfortable chairs. On another note, we noticed a pretty bad smell outside when we first got there...noticed it on the way down as well-turns out when the winds are coming from the south, it blows decaying sargassum (brown sea algae) into the islands. Sombrero beach was nice, but so much seaweed was blown onto shore and the smell was awful so we didn't spend any time there. This has nothing to do with the property, just an FYI. There was an issue with the air conditioning and the property manager responded to us right away and got the issue fixed. We really enjoyed staying at this property and will definitely be back for a visit in the future! We had 2 families with four kids staying here. The adults stayed in the main house along with the oldest child (17) and the other 3 kids stayed in the cottage (11, 13 and 14)-they loved having their own space away from the adults! It was a perfect set up for us. Again, we will definitely be back and stay here again!
The home was perfect and the back yard was even better than perfect.... Tropical Paradise... Most of our time was spent sitting at the table under the tiki hut and in the pool listening to music.... Great music system and speakers... The manatees, lizards, and crabs put on a show everyday for us. The house and yard are very clean and well kept... The out door grill area was clean and plenty of gas. We used the grill a lot... The location is good very close to shopping and a sand beach was just down the road ... My group consisted of five couples we had plenty of room and lots of fun... Do know if your group is over eight there will be an up charge a pretty hefty up charge!!! Over all booking was easy check in was easy owner was easy to work with and security deposit was retuned... I would book this Tropical Paradise again... Shari Jones
We were 5 couples from various locations getting away for varying lengths of time. Some stayed 2 nights, some 4, and the rest of us stayed 7 nights. The most repeated sentence of the entire trip is "this is a GREAT house"! The pool and tiki hut were the hot spots for gathering, and we fished right in the canal. I hooked a shark there! I'm not a big fan of crowded Key West, so I didn't care that it was an hour away. But several of us made trips there for various reasons, and the guys did a fishing trip from KW one day. They caught lots of snapper and the captain gave us mahi mahi to take home and cook on the grill outside. Drogon, the massive iguana, visited daily! (DO NOT FEED THE LIZARDS - Florida rules, y'all!) All of the bedrooms were well appointed and super comfortable. Nice bathrooms. Good kitchen for a crowd. We enjoyed every single minute and aspect of our vacation here! THANK YOU, BILL! Thanks for sharing your wonderful Keys home with us!

Thank you Bill and Monique for use of your beautiful home away from home. We have never enjoyed the Keys so much. This trip was the first Keys trip to include our 4 adult children and we could not have picked a better location. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and Saturday comes way too fast. We hope to visit this amazing place again soon.
