Our grandchildren enjoyed the pool. I was pleasantly surprised by the kitchens amenities, and would not have had touring as many utensils as I did. I especially liked the bench at the foot of the king sized bed which made it easy to put on my shoes. A beautiful "Keys" vibe!

Had a fantastic stay at anchors away - nicely central for other parts of the keys - house was clean and nicely appointed had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Good beds very comfy extremely important when away from home - the washer broke on during our stay and the management company had a replacement within a few days, good communications, quick reply to any questions - would highly recommend and hope to revisit on our next trip - our visit was for 19 nights and we were very sorry to leave - excellent

Enjoyed the house and the pool was a bonus! Great location! My only complaint is that we were unable to use the grill. Everything was clean and in order.

My Fiancé and I stayed for a week, wonderful rental- very clean, centrally located making for an easy commute to most attractions in the Keys. We had an issue with the hot water not working due to an issue with the fuse- issue was immediately remedied by the rental company. Would recommend this property and we will definitely book it again for future vacations!

The property was centrally located on a quiet street. It was close to everything…beach, grocery store, restaurants. It was close to the ocean, and we were able to reach deep water in our boat in about 20 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and spending time together as a family!

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and charming- we like bed this vrbo rental. The pics do not do this property justice. Ideally located in Marathon, this rental is convenient to all keys. Owners were very nice. We used the small pool and hot tub daily!

John thank you for the review and feedback. We are glad you thought Anchor’s Away was an awesome place to stay. We hope to host you for your next visit to the Keys.
This property was great and had everything we needed for our week long stay. We were able to keep our 22ft boat in the water on the sea wall. Something to keep in mind, if you have a boat trailer around 18ft or larger, parking will be an issue due to the location of the pool.

Anchors Away stay in Marathon Fl.
When I booked this stay, I had no expectations. When my wife and I arrived, we opened the front door and said "Wow". This is awesome. I was surprised on how big the family room was and the kitchen. Great view from the kitchen table. The master bedroom was huge! The bathrooms were so nice! We said, this is an unexpected treat! We saw a manatee in the back yard canal the first day. They thought of almost everything for the guest who stay here. Everything is clean! Well done.
Pros: -Bed and pillows are amazing -Dishes are great quality and coffee cups are a 10 -Pool was an unexpected plus we used it almost every day and hot tub -Couches comfy- Cute Decor- out door shower- outdoor fridge- BBQ- Wrap around Deck- Laundry- Big TV's
Cons: -Noisy planes from airport- Neighborhood rooster wakes you up at 6am every day. Thats it.
We did pretty well I'd say. I plan to come back. Scott made things easy for me too. Thanks to him.

The property looked newly refinished, was clean, well maintained and comfortable. We liked the open roominess and big kitchen. The central location made it easy to get where ever we needed to go.
