About this property

Ground level house with pool and canal to ocean

VACA-22-386
This ground level house with two master bedrooms and two full bathroom house is located in a quiet marathon neighborhood. It has an open floor plan with a large open kitchen, dining and living room perfect for entertaining overlooking the canal through six double-sliding doors to enjoy the scenery outside while sitting indoors. This serves as the perfect area for entertaining family and friends. There is a screen porch overlooking the canal that's great for sipping your morning coffee or for late night entertaining.

The house has two master bedrooms with two queen size beds in each along with two full size newly remodeled bathrooms.

WIth over 75 ft of dockage on a deep water canal, you have plenty of room to dock your boat, jetskis or kayaks, etc.

Don't be surprised if you wake up to manatees in the canal, as they often visit. The canal is clean enough to even swim in it. But, there are nearby sandbars that within a short boat ride can be enjoyed.

The newly remodeled pool overlooks the canal and tiki huts situated on the dock along with a BBQ grill and "fish cleaning" table great for entertaining outside and still keeping an eye on the kids swimming in the pool.

Attention all Fishermen because our favorite feature is our "bragging post"!!! To hang your catch and pose for pictures. The house has a garage "No Parking Inside" but equipped with a bait freezer and commercial ice maker to fill up all your coolers every morning.

Marathon is a major fishing destination with several charters departing from local marinas every morning so you don't have to bring your own boat to fish. You can also choose to rent one nearby and have it delivered to the house before you arrive.

Bountiful reefs around marathon make it a popular fishing, diving, snorkeling and lobstering area.
And you can choose to disconnect from the world and just enjoy doing nothing but sitting by the pool sipping your favorite drink.

Last minute Thanksgiving getaway

We are a family of four- 2 adults and 2 teens, and the house was more than comfortable for us. The pool and bar area are the perfect addition to the canal front view. Great location in Marathon, FL. We had a great time and will be back!

Best vacation ever!

This house is the best vacation we have ever taken. The pictures do not do this house justice. It was clean, spacious, and quiet. Anything you need is within 3 miles, and having the boat docked right outside was awesome. We will be staying here every time we go to the keys!!

Family Spring break 2024

Our family had such a wonderful time during our stay. We could barely get our grandchildren out of the pool. The rest of the family loves to fish and spent so many hours doing just that right outside the back door. Morning coffee on the back screened in patio was the best. Would 100% recommend this property for your next stay in the FL Keys.

What makes this property unique

This property does not sit on stilts, so there are no stairs to deal with. Everything is on a ground floor. Quick access to the ocean through a short canal ride.
