Everything was top notch. Communication from the owner was excellent and was able to accommodate us on our needs. Most well equipped rental I’ve ever stayed in. You could literally fly in with your clothes and essentials and be set. Beautiful location and sunsets.

Perfection in the Keys

Beautiful, private complex in the heart of Marathon. Marlin House 52 is updated, well-furnished and appointed. Lots of amenities that made our stay extra comfortable and enjoyable. Owners thought of every personal touch including a welcome bag for our arrival. The resort-style pool and grounds are well-maintained. Close access to restaurants, activities, shops. Owners are exceptionally friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway from winter

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO in Marathon Shores! The condo was incredibly well-stocked—just like home—with everything we could possibly need. From the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy living space, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The location was perfect, and the host was absolutely wonderful—responsive, friendly, and truly made us feel welcome. One of the highlights was relaxing on the deck and balcony, watching the breathtaking sunsets over the water. It was the perfect way to end each day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again!

We've stayed up and down the Keys and this is our new favorite place! If you're bringing your boat, it's extremely convenient docking and the slip is directly in front of the house. House was very well appointed and stocked with essentials...so much so, I didn't need most of the supplies I packed! Condo was clean and very comfortable. You can tell owners take pride in their unit.

Beautiful Property - Great Host!

Indigo Reef is a gorgeous community well hidden amongst a very bland commercial area right off the highway in Marathon. We were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in such charming and lush surroundings as we drove into the resort, and our unit did not disappoint. The incredible views to the water and sunset aside, Marlin House was well stocked, clean, and beyond comfortable for myself and my bestie for our girls' getaway in the Keys. John was super responsive with the couple of issues we did encounter, but went above and beyond to make it right, and we had a fantastic trip. Having a boat-slip right across the lawn from the unit was super convenient and we loved renting a boat for a couple days to explore the surrounding waters. I would highly recommend Marlin House and Indigo Reef for families with kids, girlfriend trips, couples, and boaters alike!

We had a great time at Marlin House! I have stayed at several vacation rentals and the kitchen was probably the best stocked with plenty of dishes, pans, bowls, and utensils. The sunset views were great and the ease of getting our boat in and out was great. Our family loved the huge pool! Oh and the beds were comfortable as well!
