Favorite House in Marathon

We loved this house. Quiet neighborhood, inlet hidden from the wind, HUGE pool. We didnt spend much time inside since the pool and tiki hut were so perfect but the house is beautiful (even nicer than the pictures), very clean and the kitchen had everything you need. We stayed here with our two kids and they loved it just as much (especially the bunk beds :). We will be back.
