About this property

Salty Anglers: Waterfront Heated Pool, Dock & Walk to Sombrero Beach in Marathon

  • Welcome to Salty Anglers, a private waterfront vacation home in Marathon, Florida, just a short walk or bike ride from beautiful Sombrero Beach.

    This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sleeps up to 10 guests and combines relaxed Florida Keys living with the features families, boaters, and anglers value most: a private heated pool, deep-water dock, fish-cleaning station, outdoor living spaces, and convenient access to the surrounding waters of Marathon.

    Whether you're planning a family vacation, fishing trip, boating getaway, or simply want to relax by the water, Salty Anglers provides a comfortable home base in the heart of the Florida Keys.

    Private Heated Pool & Outdoor Living

    Florida Keys vacations are meant to be enjoyed outdoors, and Salty Anglers gives you plenty of space to do just that.

    Spend the afternoon relaxing beside your private heated pool, enjoy morning coffee on the wraparound porch, or gather for dinner outdoors after a day on the water.

    Outdoor features include:

    Private heated swimming pool
    Waterfront setting
    Wraparound porch
    Outdoor dining
    BBQ grill
    Comfortable outdoor seating
    Private deep-water dock
    Fish-cleaning station
    Dock water and electrical power

    The private pool is ideal for cooling off after a trip to Sombrero Beach or relaxing at home when you simply don't feel like going anywhere.

    Spacious Coastal Living

    Inside, Salty Anglers offers an open and comfortable layout designed for families and groups traveling together.

    The spacious kitchen, dining, and living areas provide plenty of room to gather while still allowing everyone to spread out.

    Home amenities include:

    High-speed Wi-Fi
    Flat-screen TVs
    Cable television
    Fully equipped kitchen
    Stainless steel appliances
    Double oven
    Dishwasher
    Washer and dryer
    Generous indoor and outdoor living areas

    The kitchen is well equipped for everything from preparing breakfast before a day of fishing to cooking fresh local seafood for dinner.

    Comfortable Sleeping for Up to 10 Guests

    Salty Anglers features 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, with beds for 8 guests plus a queen-size pull-out sofa.

    Primary Suite – Ground Level: King bed, sitting area, Jacuzzi tub, and multi-head rain shower
    Second Primary Bedroom: Queen bed with private bathroom

    The layout works especially well for families, couples traveling together, multi-generational vacations, and fishing groups.

    Private Deep-Water Dock

    Guests bringing a boat can enjoy the convenience of keeping it directly behind the home at the private deep-water dock.

    The dock includes:

    Water
    Electrical power
    Fish-cleaning station
    Convenient access to Marathon's surrounding waterways

    After a day of fishing or boating, return directly to the house, rinse down the boat, clean the day's catch, and relax by the pool.

    Salty Anglers is approximately a 5–10 minute boat ride from the Seven Mile Bridge, depending on conditions and vessel speed.

    A Great Choice for Fishing & Boating

    If you're not bringing your own boat, Marathon also offers numerous fishing charters, dive operators, boat rentals, and sightseeing excursions.

    Walk to Sombrero Beach

    One of Salty Anglers' biggest advantages is its location close to Sombrero Beach, one of Marathon's most popular beaches.

    Walk or bike over for swimming, sunbathing, a picnic, or a relaxing afternoon by the Atlantic, then return home to your own private pool.

    Having both Sombrero Beach nearby and a private heated pool at the house gives your group the flexibility to enjoy the Keys however you choose.

Warm pool, great location & everything you need

Salty Angler vacation rental has a great location close to the beach, grocery store, and dining. The house is spacious, comfortable and very clean. Best of all the pool was warm and really made our week since the weather was cool and cloudy during our stay. We were able to fish off the dock and see a manatee swim up. When the sun came out the beach was close by and very beautiful. We played a lot of corn hole in the back yard with their boards. You won't be disappointed with this rental. The owners/property managers were outstanding as well.

Wonderful Property for boaters

We had a great stay in this beautiful home. We traveled with our three grown children and each of their significant others. Our son-in-low is a charter fishing captain and he brought his small boat for us to use everyday. This home, dock, location and provisions made for the perfect get away. We loved the house and it was perfect for four couples. We are huge eaters and I am a gourmet cook and everything in the kitchen was perfect. I appreciate that there was laundry detergent, clean beach towels, extra pillows and anything else we needed for a great stay. The location was perfect for us. A beautiful boat ride out of the canals and then we were about 17 N miles off of the humps where we fished and caught tuna for sushi dinners several days. It was a quick ride to the seven mile bridge and sand bars. We also drove to Key West for a day and it was a beautiful one hour drive. Publix and Winn Dixie were less than a mile drive from the driveway. We will definitely be back with friends and family whenever we want to stay in the Keys.
