Location, location, location of this property was amazing and a nice neighborhood. Information binder was very helpful. Also clean and provided cooking items. The list goes on. Thank you for a great honeymoon.
The unit was very clean and comfortable. It met our needs perfectly. It is not luxurious, but I also did not want to pay for luxury accommodations since we spend so little time in the room. So it was great for just wanting a clean and comfortable place to sleep without breaking the bank.
The room was compact but just perfect for us. The bed and linens were comfortable and clean. Our whole experience was perfect. There is so much to do in Marathon and its environs. We would go back in a heartbeat!
Beautiful, super clean community. Very cute little apartment! Everything we needed. Super nice for a couple. Very friendly residents and guests at this community. We had a great time! Would definitely stay here again!!
This was a peaceful place to stay in the heart of the Keys. The bungalow was beautifully decorated and offered many amenities like a kitchen, pool and jetty to watch the sunsets. Hans was a great host and the neighborhood was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice cottage
Overall property itself was not what we expected, but the cottage was adorable and decorated very nicely..
Accommodations were neat and clean and just the right size for us. Plenty of amenities…grill, picnic tables, & chairs to lounge in. We will definitely return.
This is a little park that has a great marina, new beautiful pool and very friendly people who gather at the tiki hut nightly for cocktails and banter. Great bar/restaurant in walking distance and perfect location in the Keys. We will be back!
Our host were very accommodating. They have an informative booklet that explains everything in the area. Due to the climate of the Keys you will need your bug repellant for mosquitoes. The community is very quiet, we felt safe. There was a large patio for entertainment and the garden was beautiful. These hosts love their guests.
This was a perfect location for our week in Marathon! Bicycling, kayaking and swimming! Close proximity to some great restaurants as well as grocery stores. The property is very well maintained and perfectly equipped! Highly recommend!
Happy with location. Property just as described on line. Mattress could use replacement. Bottom line, would be happy to visit again.
(May do just that next winter.)
Efficiency unit. Small, clean and homey. Hosts are very responsive. There was a binder with recommendations for things to do and restaurants which was very helpful and appreciated. The jetty is great for views and/or fishing. Marathon is great base location to explore the keys. First time in the Keys. Loved it and would rent again.
It’s exactly as advertised, the jetty is beautiful, plenty of mangroves and grunts to catch (occasionally a tarpon comes by). The view is breathtaking and worth waking up and staying to hang around for! As for location in the keys it is perfectly in the middle, you can go do the downtown barcrawl scene and it’s only an hourish away, Islamorada and key largo are also not crazy far either! The managers are very attentive and very on point about everything, over all a wonderful experience!
Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful! Centrally located in the Florida Keys with easy access to lots of different activities. The neighborhood was quiet and well-kept. The unit itself was well furnished and decorated. The only thing I would ask for is two fishing poles to use, because there were none in the shed . The barbecue grill looked brand new and was very clean. The people we met walking around were friendly, and the pool was a nice extra to have after a long hot day.

About the host
Hosted by Hans Moller
Married couple, Engineer and Teacher. Enjoy spending time in the Keys, fishing, snorkeling,and enjoying time outdoor.
Why they chose this property
We invested in our rental-units after visiting Florida Keys for 20 years. We decided that Marathon, Grassy Key, is the ultimate Keys location. People are nice and relaxed, it is the place you go when you want to get away from the “rat-race”. Fishing, Lobstering and snorkeling is phenomenal. While Islamorada and Key West are fun places to visit, you will find the Marathon area more quiet, it's the best part of the Florida Keys. Key West is only an hour drive away, take a day-trip.
What makes this property unique
Provides more of a good old days Keys experience. But we also provide the modern comforts with quiet Mini-Split AC, TV, WiFi Enjoy our private setting. Listen to the birds, gaze at the stars at night, mingle with friendly people who are in the Keys to have a relaxing and good time. A dock can be rented for $25/night (max 25 foot, Boat insurance is required)
