Best trip!
My family (10 of us all together) stayed at this beautiful property and could not have been more pleased! It was spacious enough for all of us and close to all the things we wanted to do! Beth was super responsive anytime we reached out to her! The only thing I would note is that the house is in the DIRECT landing path for the airport down the road. It was a little startling when some of the jets were flying in. This is nothing against the house itself, just something to be aware of.We hope to be able to stay at this amazing home again!

We had our 92 year old grandma with us down to our 6 month old nephew. The house was extremely functional for that with room for everyone to still have their own space. The location is amazing on the canal only minutes from open water.

Wonderful stay!
Our group consisted of 3 families, including 5 kids (ages ranging from 1-14), and we had an amazing stay at this property! We docked our boat at the house and it was a great location for getting to both the Gulf and Atlantic quickly. We enjoyed the pool at the house and there was plenty of seating in the living area for everyone to relax in the evenings. The owner was responsive to all questions and the house was just as described. We saw manatees every day in the canal...the kids loved it!

Marathon Stay
Overall enjoyed the stay. I checked the grill to be sure it was operational. It was. I brought a whole Prime Rib Roast to grill as we were having a family celebration. Ran out of gas after 30 minutes. I don’t cook on a gas grill at home as I have a Green Egg. So I don’t know a full tank from an empty one. I do now. Second tank was also empty. I have never rented a house that was not stocked with gas for the grill. So there went $175 down the drain with a dried out piece of leather. Plus in my mind another $40 for a tank of propane.
I also notified the owner that the pool filter had a crack. Pool was losing more and more water each day as the crack only got larger. I was told to call someone else that turned out to be the person that did the cleaning between rentals. The owner answered with “ I am out of the country”. After calling the other person, I was told pool company would be out on Monday. Never came. We ended up refilling the pool each day and shutting the pump down after use in the evening as I did not want the pool to empty.
So my prime rib sucked as I had to go chase gas and we monitored the pool so we could enjoy it for the week.
I was told pool guy comes on Fridays. Nope never saw him. Hopefully the next people don’t have a problem with the pool.

This house has plenty for room for a large family. We had a person with a walker with us so having a ground floor entry and bed/bathroom was nice. The pool was comfortably warm. Very nice outside deck/patio. Nice central location in the middle of the keys. Quiet neighborhood. Close to grocery, gas stations, restaurants, and activities.

Amazing rental for family stay
Me and my adult children just spent a week in the keys and rented this amazing house. It had sufficient space for everyone. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was stocked well. It was great being right on a canal where we got to see manatees everyday, they were awesome. They loved drinking fresh water from the hose. The neighborhood is quiet but we were still able to play music and be out by the pool at night without bothering anyone. I would say the only thing we weren’t thrilled about but it did not impact our fun is that the pool does not get sun. It’s winter so that might be the reason for that. But there is plenty of deck space and chairs for laying in the sun. Overall fantastic experience and would recommend

Our Favorite Keys House So Far!
We brought our kids and grandkids down for the week and this property was perfect for us.There was a large area for parking including room for our boat trailer. The kitchen has plenty of space, lots of cabinets and small appliances that made it easy to feed a crowd. The tiki bar is festive and made a great place to serve food and drinks while the kids swam in the pool. The mini fridge came in handy along with the pool toys. We were very thankful (and pleasantly surprised) for the pool towels. We caught mangrove snapper off the dock, and the kids were eager to see the manatees swim by daily. This home had more "extras" than other places we've stayed and we can't wait to go back.

Tiki House
It was very spacious . Lots of Linens , which was a plus. Two frig’s and a bait freezer was very nice. Nice washer snd Dryer. One of my complaints, not enough receptacles in the kitchen. The step down was a little hazardous, overall it’s a very nice place. I didn’t like paying it all upfront, I wouldn’t do that again. Thank you for a great time.

The place was clean and we had a wonderful time. One thing everyone should know is that the bedroom with the bunk beds is located through the master bedroom. We had our adult son with us anticipating that he would take the room with the bunk beds and just sleep on the bottom bunk. Did not realize he would need to be practically in our room with us. Also the shower in the master bedroom is in desperate need of repair. Other than that everything else was as it should be and we enjoyed our vacation.

Great location, nice home
This was our second stay & planning a third. Location is great! Love the tiki bar, pool, & being on the canal. Many manatee sightings, even more than last year. Home description lists as 5 bedrooms which is true but the one with bunk beds is very small & can only be accessed thru 2nd floor master bedroom. This year we drove down in motorhome & there was plenty of room to park it & our 3 rental cars. Also rented 2 boats & more than enough room to tie them up in the canal. Highly recommend this home

Friend get-a-way
We had a group of 8 friends and we picked this house because it looked like it would be a place we’d all enjoy. It did not disappoint! We loved the secluded pool and to be able to dock our boat next to the house. The tiki bar was a hit and we spent every night out there relaxing. There is the flight path above, but it didn’t bother us.

Well stocked home with a few issues
Home was well stocked with towels, appliances, dishes, etc.
Didn’t realize home was on the flight path of nearby airport, difficult to put kayaks and paddle boards in canal, and not much of a view. Near stores, marina, etc. Pool heater not working when arrived. Owner replaced unit within 3 days.
Beds were comfortable but pillows were pretty thin. Roomy home that accommodated us all.
Daily manatees in canal. They loved fresh water.

Had a great time. Nice restaurants and good eats. Was pleasantly surprised with the house. Kitchen was spotless and well equipped. Downstairs bathrooms also spotless
One bathroom upstairs needed better cleaning
All TVs worked including one outside at the bar. The only problem was with hot water heater on Friday, we had no hot water
This was addressed right away. I would stay here again and would recommend it, however, for our next trip to Marathon we will be looking for a smaller place. Beth, please get back to me with smaller houses 2 bedroom for 3. Or 4 people
