Welcome to Salty Anglers, your private slice of paradise in the heart of the Florida Keys. This beautifully updated waterfront 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation rental in Marathon, Florida has been thoughtfully designed to combine coastal charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or a fishing trip with friends, Salty Anglers offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.

The house was very well appointed with everything needed to make the stay enjoyable and comfortable. We had an awesome family vacation with no problems whatsoever.
We were so pleased with Salty Anglers- the host was so accommodating and just a pleasure to work with! We're already looking to see of the availability for our next trip down!
The stay was great, the house was well supplied, had everything we needed. Communication with the owner, Bill was very good. He was quick to respond to any of my questions. Would definitely stay there again!
Beautiful property and fantastic host! This was a return trip for us to Bill’s home and can’t how nice it is and how welcoming Bill is. He went out of his way to put in a stair gate for our toddler! Definitely our go to place when we visit the keys! Thank you so much Bill!
We found this house to be perfect for 4 couples! The pool was the perfect temperature, we really enjoyed having coffee out on the covered upstairs patio, and the dock was perfect for us to rent a boat for 4 days of our stay. We all enjoy walking in the morning, and we found the neighborhood a great place to walk, and everyone around us was very friendly! Would stay there again! Host was very nice and kept in touch with us to make sure we had everything we needed.
Great property just as described. Very clean. Spacious with room for everyone. We especially liked the boat dock and pool. The large kitchen and living space made a great spot for hanging out with the family. Would stay here again!
We had a blast in Marathon, the house is absolutely beautiful, very clean and the pool was great. Definitely the best home we have rented so far. Bill was easy to communicate and extremely nice.
This was a great stay. Bill was a pleasure to work with and the house was well kept and in a great location. I will definitely be going back to Marathon in the future.
Perfect location, perfect property. No issues and well set up with the necessities down to complimentary shampoos and conditioner, sun screen and bug spray.
Enjoyed my conversations with the owner who was very accommodating and sincere.
All guests loved the property
There were just 2 couples staying in this property without a boat. It was wonderful. Very clean, nice amenities, quiet and a very responsive host. Good central location, close to one of the best beaches in the Keys.
