Last-minute Christmas Special! Open ocean, fishing, pool!

DIRECT OCEANFRONT, fully updated, ground floor, single-family Home; 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths. The home is all new and beautiful!! 50 feet of deepwater dockage with immediate access to the Ocean and Gulf and a gas dock right around the corner. Amazing views of the Atlantic and beyond. Now, with a pool just steps away from the ocean.





This carefree classic 'Keys' home is located in a very quiet, established neighborhood. There are no mobile homes, vacant lots, or trash of any kind anywhere near the home. Conveniently and centrally located with various food options, including the really good local fish market and restaurant within walking distance! 

The Lobster House has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and sleeps up to 8. The kitchen is completely furnished with everything you will need to cook your catch! There is a large covered patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with a barbecue and plenty of seating for a crowd. The pool is just ten feet away from the ocean. 

Dock up to a 40 ft boat out your back door; water is 7 feet deep at the dock at low tide. Boat rentals are available just 3 mins away. Fishermen, we have it all! Bait freezer, cleaning table, and a grill to cook your catch! And the green light brings the fish in at night.



If you have any questions, just hit the "contact host" button, enter your dates, and it will be sent directly to me. Please feel free to contact me anytime, day or night. Looking forward to helping you book your amazing oceanfront vacation.

Pool heat or chill is available for $250 per week. You are welcome to arrange this in

advance. But if you're not sure, try it out when you get there and just let us know if

you would like us to turn the heater/chiller on.

The view is amazing. We saw manatees, turtles and tarpon daily. Plenty of room for docking your boat and a great pool. We were very sad to leave and will look forward to coming back.

Fantastic Property & Location

The Lobster House is wonderful. We found ourselves not wanting to do many other activities because the dock was so nice. We enjoyed many hours of fishing and sunrise/sunset gazing directly on the ocean. The house is recently remodeled with great style. We enjoyed everything about the property and hope to return soon.

Family vacation

We had a great stay on the water in beautiful Marathon. There were a few hiccups with things in the house but the owner was extremely responsive in assisting us. The house is centrally located in the keys and offered a great place to anchor our stay for exploring many of the keys.
