We had a wonderful time at this home . Spent lots of time in pool and hot tub . Grilled out on the beautiful patio with pergola . Kitchen had everything you need. The housd had plenty of towels and natural light and hreat vibes. Easy check in and great communication with mgmt co.Thank you so much . See ya next year
Check in was easy and everything was clean and cozy. Only complaint we have is not having the hot tub in working condition. But our stay was wonderful none the less, we were on Marathon Key after alll, sunny 75 and water..how terrible could it be
The minute we walked in, the place was very clean. As I looked around the little additions were very nice. We loved the location, and the beaches were very close. Wonderful location.

Lovely getaway
We loved our stay at the Sea Salt Harbor! It is very spacious, cozy, and gives off the “beachy” feel. Great amentities overall- the laundry room, playpen, cooler, and nice fire pit in the back patio. Very nice place, I would highly recommend!
I absolutely loved this property! What a fantastic gateway. A relaxing beautiful home, in a quiet secluded feeling space. Near plenty of great spots! Will definitely visit again given the chance. All the stars!

Pretty and Clean and well equipped.
Nice house near a few beaches and state parks. Plenty of fishing and boating. 1.5 hours from Key West. Very nice overall.
The house was very nice main bedroom didn’t have a dresser but it had a walk in closet. Living room furniture needed a cleaning but was comfortable. Kitchen area was great. The back yard area was very nice! Used swim spa it was very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location! Cozy and comfortable for family!
Loved staying at this cozy home. Large rooms, full bathrooms, great open space for cooking and spending time with family in the living room ( loved the added board games) The location is beautiful, nice to take a walk in the mornings and see the neighborhood. We came for my sons football game and stayed the weekend. Only 1 hour drive to Key West if you want to spend the day there which is what we did. But would have been nice to stay the weekend and use the pool and enjoy the beautiful outdoor space. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.
Couch & chair need replacing. Everything else was great!

It is always our goal for our guests to be able to use everything the home has to offer. We take guest feedback seriously and have forwarded this information to the local staff so they can address your concerns and hope for another opportunity to host you for a truly exceptional experience.
House was located in a great area. Swim spa did not work for our trip and the furniture could definitely use cleaning. Communication with the property manager was easy. They did attempt to get the swim spa working and were told that it was fixed by the pool guy. However, it did not work despite them trying to get it fixed. There's plenty of towels and the beds were comfortable. There was no frying pan but plenty of other cooking utensils. House was more than adequate for our needs and we would stay again if in the area.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're delighted to hear that our home was a great fit for your group and that you'd consider staying with us again—we’d love to welcome you back. That said, we're truly sorry the swim spa wasn't operational during your stay and regret any disappointment this caused. Our local manager has confirmed that it is now back in good working order. It was a pleasure having you as our guest, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We really loved the location in Marathon very easy to get to stores, restaurants, and activities.
Loved the quiet neighborhood away from other resorts. Missing beach supplies chairs & umbrella we left two chairs there for future use. Propane tanks empty unable to grill and cullugan water empty. Could use extra blankets and tables of some sort in master along with a couple of fans for bedrooms. Otherwise very well supplied with kitchen and other toiletries. Very comfortable beds and visiting areas.

A mediocre stay
The house was beautiful but we ran into a lot of issues with the house. This was supposed to be a special vacation for my girlfriend as I was proposing but the pool didn't work correctly, the fire table would not light a fire, we were locked out, no fresh water for drinking, no cable TV, or streaming services that were advertised on the listing, there was hair in the shower drain that was never cleaned out before we came, the beds are stuff and uncomfortable. The location of the house was perfect. We were close to everything and the neighborhood is quiet so you get lots of privacy. Vacasa just needs to better manage the property and make sure everything is in order before the next guest.
