P36 - Charming and immaculate 2 Bedroom, 2 bathroo
Great place! Very spacious, nice dock and out door and area to enjoy with the pool! It was nice having a large deep freezer for ice and fish!

Chiquita Waterfront Home
My family and I really enjoyed this home the pictures do not do it justice it’s beautiful. The owners are very responsive and we were even able to check in a day early ! The canal was awesome , a boat is a must and so much fun. We saw manatees and iguanas. The private pool was fun all together a great experience.

Ocean Escape 97
Omg what can’t I say about the house. Beautiful! Very friendly neighborhood. Extremely clean and beautifully maintained. The host were available and responded so quickly. We loved it and will be back! Thank you so much for sharing paradise with us!

Beachfront Villa - Florida Keys
We had a great stay at Loretta’s place. The location offered a good jumping off point to explore the keys. The beach nearby along with canal access and kayaks was a huge plus. The garden area was nice though the mosquitos were intense. The place accommodated our group of 7 ppl well and everything was clean and well furnished. Overall, the place worked great for our group and we’d stay again!

NEW PET FRIENDLY Waterfront Single Home-Pool,Beach
Great place to stay for family vacation or guys fishing trip. Plenty of dock space to park the boat and easy access to the Atlantic. House is clean and all amenities worked as they should. Would definitely recommend to a family or friend. Mary was a great host who provided all information without even requesting it.

“La casa azul” step 3’ to a private pool
We spent an amazing week in this home. Very comfortable and quiet. The pool was amazing. Will definitely be back.

Waterfront Sunsets, Great Price, Relaxing Spot!!!
An absolutely immaculate and very well equipped property in a stunning location overlooking the marina. Highlights were sitting on the terrace watching the glorious sunsets and standing on the jetty looking at the sharks and other fish swimming around (free fish food is supplied which attracts them!). The Backyard Cafe located at the Key Largo Fishery is a minute's walk away - it's very laid back and serves great fish dishes and drinks; there was also live music on the weekend. Thank you Ray, we loved your place and would happily have stayed forever!

Bohemian Beach Bungalow
I can’t say enough great things about this beach bungalow! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and thoughtful touches that made our stay truly special. The bungalow itself is cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated with a laid-back coastal vibe—exactly what you want for a beach getaway. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a solo retreat, or a peaceful base for beach adventures, this place is a gem. We left feeling refreshed and recharged, and we’re already dreaming of coming back!

Waterfront Escape -VACA-23-408
we were a family of 6 staying and had more then enough room. the house was perfect and had everything you needed. we enjoyed fishing off the deck and watching the manatees everyday day swimming by. the backyard was absolutely perfect to hang out and relax. Carmen is a great host and communicates fast. would absolutely stay here again.

Waterfront Cozy Cottage with Boat Ramp & Dock!
Wish we could’ve stayed longer. It was a perfect home!

Sombrero beach oasis, great location, many amenities
Incredible for a family vacation. 🏝️The property feels very private, clean, well decorated, and many amenities. We tried out the paddle boards and spent a lot of time in the pool. When going to the beach, Aileen already had chairs and towels to bring! This property really is a gem. Thank you Aileen!

Paradise - Pool, Hot tub, Mini Golf, Dockage, Fish
Plenty of room for all the family and their families. We enjoyed all the backyard amenities with pool, kyacks, boat dockage and fish cleaning station. There was sufficient seating for everyone and a great area to hangout. The only things we struggled with was TVs didn’t work properly in some of the rooms, no washcloths or kitchen towels available. With that being said, we will definitely consider renting Ryan’s place again in the future!

Flakey's
Cheryl’s place is in the perfect location in the heart of Islamorada. Listening to the live music on the back deck to wind down every night was an added plus! Cheryl was super accommodating & definitely thinks about bettering her guests’ stay. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Private 4/3 Pool Heater/Dock/Kayaks/Bikes,etc
Our family of five adults, plus two additional relatives, had the most incredible stay at this property. While we had planned several excursions, we found ourselves spending the majority of our seven-day trip enjoying everything this place had to offer. From fishing off the dock to kayaking and paddleboarding, the outdoor amenities were top-notch. The pool area was the perfect spot for relaxing and spending quality time together. One of the standout features was the amazing outdoor freezer—ideal for storing our fresh catch of Mahi from our charter trip. Inside, the kitchen was impressively well-equipped, making cooking a breeze. Every detail of the home was thoughtfully curated to provide comfort and convenience. This stay exceeded our expectations, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a well-appointed, adventure-filled getaway!

Boater’s Paradise 3br/2.5ba at Coral Lagoon
Larry was an excellent host who did everything to make the stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend staying at Larry's place and will definitely stay again if in the Marathon area.

Spacious lux home, private pool/spa, 80' dock
The house was exactly how it was described online. Everything was well marked. Lots of stuff to do at the home. Very spacious and well maintained. There were only 7 of us, so lots of extra space. The pool is on the perfect side so your not blasted with the late afternoon sun. However, there is a huge umbrella in case it is needed. Kitchen is fully stocked so nothing was needed. There is a BBQ grill as well as a flat top which is nice for outside cooking. The only thing I would recommend is to bring your own pillow if your a particular pillow person (we love our feather pillows), house pillows were not feather ones. If you rent here and have a boat definitely go to the Sombrero Lighthouse to snorkel. Never saw so many fish in one place. The Conch Cafe and Coast to Coast pizza are both great food restaurants and walkable from the home. Publix is so close it was a daily visit. Truly enjoyed the week stay!!!!!

Your Keys Getaway!
My husband and I stayed here during a trip to Key Largo at a friend’s destination wedding at the Lighthouse. It was only a 5 min drive to the venue which was very convenient. The street was so unbelievably quiet given how close it is to the main stretch of highway. We stayed out on the balcony for over an hour one night and only 2 cars drove by the whole time. Conveniently located to a lot of delicious restaurants. Ana was responsive. The place was clean and cozy. Not near any water and there is no access to it, which she does state clearly in the description but the photo makes you think maybe you can walk to the water. However, that area (in the photo) is restricted so you can’t access it. Luckily, in Key Largo, there’s plenty of places to visit that are on the water, so it wasn’t too much of a bummer. It was a clean, quiet, private, and cozy place to crash for the few days we were there which was exactly what we were looking for. And I appreciated the huge mirror! Recommend.

May availability 70ft Dock, Near Beach VACA23-16
Jeffrey’s place was a wonderful landing pad for our week in the keys. Lots of small details thought out that add up to a relaxing stay. (Beach towels, coolers and beach gear, family games, etc.) Kids didn’t wanted to live there forever!

Key Largo Waterfront Home with Tiki & Boat Dock
We have found our home away from home when we visit the Keys! Penny’s house was not only exactly as described, but something about it just felt like home. We came home and immediately booked another stay. Penny was responsive, friendly and we enjoyed sending her pictures from our stay. Our daughter is 4 and learned how to fish during our stay - The core memories were endless! We enjoyed daily manatee visits, so much fishing, and visiting local restaurants! Princess the sweet community kitty has a special place in our heart, please feed her during your stay :)

Harrison's Hideaway-Sleeps up to 4, K & F Sl Sofa!
We came to Naomi’s listing. We did not know much about the location. Everything was within walking distance. Naomi communicated effectively. We will be here again.

Sunsets In Palms Paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed this house! The backyard is amazing with plenty of space to play cornhole, throw frisbees, and enjoy the beautiful weather. We saw a manatee behind the property and with the provided paddleboard got to see it close up as well! The house was clean and had all desired amenities . We will definitely be back.

Florida Keys Getaway - Slps 4 - Ocean View
Would come back again. Very peaceful and good location. Host was very responsive and friendly.

Plunge Pool Villa on Blue Water Lagoon
place was great. Definitely would come again. Deborah was a great host very helpful

Banana Cabana
We really enjoyed our stay and the location was great, home was cute, clean and well maintained. The property was beautiful and meticulously cared for with amazing views and fun outdoor activities including kayaks, paddle boards, corn hole and "harmless" hatchet throwing! Definitely would visit again

Your guide to Marathon
All About Marathon
The Florida Keys stretch from Key Largo, near the mainland, out into the ocean to Key West. About halfway between sit the 13 islands, including Grassy Key, which make up the city of Marathon. Along with a few other nearby islands like Duck Key and Key Colony Beach, the area draws visitors looking for a getaway destination with top-notch boating and fishing and family-friendly sunshine. While there, you can lounge at the natural beach area of CocoPlum and the shady, well-equipped shores of Sombrero Beach.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Marathon
As befits a sunshine and beach destination, the summers in Marathon bring some extremely hot weather. The average highs stay above 90 degrees Fahrenheit throughout, with significant humidity. Those muggy days coincide with the rainy season, bringing large amounts of rain from June through November — which just happens to be hurricane season as well. If you’re visiting during this time, keep an eye on the hurricane forecast and be aware of the dangers. The most pleasant times to visit Marathon are spring and fall, when highs average in the 80s, though the former is drier than the latter. Winters stay fairly warm, making it an appealing destination when the rest of the country cools off.
Top things to do in Marathon
Sombrero Beach
For a pure, relaxing, classic beach day, Sombrero fits the bill better than anywhere around. Aside from the natural assets — soft sand and swimmable water — the city park offers plenty of shade, picnic areas, volleyball courts, a playground, and bathroom facilities. Between April and October the local loggerhead turtles lay their eggs here, so at times portions of the beach are closed to the public to protect the nests.
Drive the Seven Mile Bridge
This cinematic stretch connecting the Middle and Lower Keys will leave you feeling like you’re (nearly) driving on water, due to how close the bridge dips to the aquamarine scene below. Built in the early 1900s, the original Seven Mile Bridge was retired in 1980 and earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. You can drive the modern version and see why this bridge is a popular setting for blockbuster films.
Curry Hammock State Park
The 1,000 acres of this secluded park protect ecosystems essential to life in the Florida Keys. You can kayak or paddleboard through mangrove swamps, by rockland hammocks, and over seagrass beds, marveling at marine life such as manatee, dolphin, spotted eagle ray, and horseshoe crabs that make this park their home.
