Girls week in Marathon

What a great week! The house was beautiful and met our needs perfectly. Well equipped kitchen and the bathroom amenities were a nice touch. The beach chairs could use an upgrade but we made due. We were a little early for the fruits but seeing the baby pineapples was so cool. Marathon is a great central key location for visiting all the keys and has some great beaches - Sombrero. Coco Plum, Bahia Honda (this was our favorite)

Wonderful stay!

We had a an awesome six week stay! A combined working vacation with friends and family coming and going during our time there. We had our 21' boat and trailer with us and the boat ramp is only a few blocks away, which made it so much easier! The home had everything we needed and was very clean! The hosts were available for any questions we had and very helpful. The bonus was all the wonderful fruit trees on the property. The star fruit were in season while we were there and we got the chance to enjoy a few and so did the iguanas, which was fun to watch. We highly recommend this vacation home!
