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

Salty Anglers: Waterfront Retreat with Heated Pool, Dock & Walk to Sombrero Beach

Welcome to Salty Anglers, your private slice of paradise in the heart of the Florida Keys. This beautifully updated waterfront 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation rental in Marathon, Florida has been thoughtfully designed to combine coastal charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or a fishing trip with friends, Salty Anglers offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.

- The Perfect Florida Keys Getaway -

Salty Anglers is ideally located just a short stroll or quick bike ride from the world-famous Sombrero Beach, one of the most beloved stretches of sand in the Florida Keys. Known for its white sand, calm waters, and family-friendly atmosphere, Sombrero Beach is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, picnicking, and spotting sea turtles. From your front door, you’re also minutes from Marathon’s best restaurants, shops, marinas, and attractions like The Turtle Hospital and Dolphin Research Center.

Marathon is often called “the heart of the Keys” — perfectly positioned between Key Largo to the north and Key West to the south. That means you can enjoy the laid-back island lifestyle, go deep-sea fishing, snorkel coral reefs, or take a day trip to Bahia Honda State Park and the iconic Seven Mile Bridge.

Fantastic Time in the Keys

We found this house to be perfect for 4 couples! The pool was the perfect temperature, we really enjoyed having coffee out on the covered upstairs patio, and the dock was perfect for us to rent a boat for 4 days of our stay. We all enjoy walking in the morning, and we found the neighborhood a great place to walk, and everyone around us was very friendly! Would stay there again! Host was very nice and kept in touch with us to make sure we had everything we needed.
