About the host

Hosted by Heather Bennett

Host profile image
Our family lives in multiple states from the East Coast to the Midwest. We have been here as young adults, with our newborns and now with our grown kids. We have so many treasured memories centered around this home and wish to share the beauty of the keys with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Media Luna has been in our family for over 3 decades. As the next generation to own and take care of this unique and beautiful property, we are looking forward to even more wonderful sunsets, time in the water and memories to last a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

A breathtaking view from every bedroom and the living space along with a large screened in porch with plenty of seating really take advantage of the open water views. A covered carport keeps the car cool on a hot day as does all 3 of the NEW air conditioners. The only private seawall in Marathon offers perfect protection for boats and a great place to rest and relax as well as outstanding snorkeling a few steps from the home. Picture worthy sunsets are always worth celebrating!
