Great experience from arrival to departure. Jose was very communicative and responsive to any questions or concerns. The house is beautiful and conveniently located to a variety of tourist attractions. I would highly recommend this home and we would certainly stay again while visiting the Marathon area.
We had a party of 7 (4 adults and 3 teenagers) and were comfortable in the house. Plenty of room for sleeping and hanging out during the day. We loved the outside area with pool and dock. We would stay here again.
Wonderful option, perfect for a family & friends vacation. Very nice house, with all the necessary facilities for a lot of fun, very cozy and well located (halfway between Miami and Key West, 5 minutes walk from supermarket/pharmacy, 10 minutes drive from Sombrero Beach). José Muñoz, the host, provided amazing support ahead and during the stay, making everything very easy and very reliable. To be repeated!
House is very relaxing, well laid out open space. The choices of coffee was outstanding. The pool was inviting as well as the dock. We made use of the pool table and cooked several meals in the full kitchen. The location was convenient being near Keys Fitness, Publix, a dive shop, and of course the Theatre.
We had a great stay at this home in Marathon- it is even nicer in person. Plenty of room for the family to spread out & the kayaks & paddleboards were perfect! The home had everything we needed. It is walking distance to Publix - a few little restaurants & the Brass Monkey if you want to venture out at night - lol. It is at the end of the canal so the boat ride out is a bit long (plan accordingly) & there are a couple of restaurants on the water along the way. The home is near some commercial properties but that did not bother us. Would stay again!
We enjoyed our time, had some issues with the air conditioning in the beginning band the owner was very quick to respond and address the situation. The only downside was nothing the owner could help, the one side of the property shares a road with the commercial building that is the mail center. We prefer more privacy. Over all good stay.
We spent a fabulous week at Jose's beautiful house in Marathon. It was even better than pictured and perfect for our family of five. There is ample space upstairs, very clean and comfortable bedrooms and an open kitchen with everything you need. Downstairs is the awesome game room (family ping pong tournaments) and Florida room for relaxing near the pool. We had tons of fun playing in the pool and also exploring the nearby canals by kayak. We loved everything about the house and garden and the location was super convenient to our activities in Marathon. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.
The house was exactly what we wanted. Inside was very comfortable and clean and the outside area was very private with a fairly short ride out to open water.
The downstairs area w/bathroom was great when we were hanging out at the pool and served as a place to organize our dive gear between trips. The game room was also a hit with our kids.
Jose was very quick to respond to any questions. He also provided some local suggestions that I hadn't tried in prior visits.
I would book here again.
Jose was quick to respond to any requests and very good at communicating with us about check in process/location and recommendations. I don't know if its because of the recent hurricane or if it just needs fixing but the screened porch was not bug proof and we ended up not using that space as much as we had hoped due to bites. The rest of the house was great with plenty of amenities to keep us busy. We loved the fish light and feeding the fish in the canal. All of the iguanas and lizards were fun to watch. Overall a nice home base while we stayed in the keys.
Amazing Keys family home with exceptional amenities & service
This beautiful home is located conveniently in Marathon and close to many great restaurants and activities. The interior house layout provided lots of comfort and space for our family to sleep and to spread out and enjoy all the activities it offers including the pool table/ping pong, board games, and movies. The outdoor area was spacious and private. Our family loved swimming in the pool, laying in the sun, using the dock for kayaking and paddleboarding, and relaxing in the screened patio. The home was very clean & organized and all the furnishings were high quality; especially the mattresses, pillows, and bedding. The owner had so many extra touches in the home, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, and goes to no end to ensure the guests are comfortable. The parking area is large and well lit and entry to the home is safe and secure. We have rented vacation homes for years all over Florida and this home is one of the cleanest and nicest we have stayed in, and the owner was a pleasure to rent with.
From the very beginning the communication with Jose was very clear and detailed. He answered all of my questions and then some. He called and checked on us upon arrival to make sure we didn't need anything. The warm welcome was much appreciated. The property is filled with all the comforts of home you may need while on vacation. The beds slept very comfortably. The outdoor space is the main attraction of the house. The comfortable outdoor furniture inside an enclosed patio that included a bar area, dining table area, extra refrigerator along with an outdoor shower and bathroom made for long afternoons outside in the warm air feeling the breeze from the waterway outside the backyard. Jose pays attention to detail and thoroughly cares about you and enjoying your stay at his VRBO. I will definitely be staying there again in the future.
My fiancé and I brought my family down from Georgia for a fun summer vacation. We had an amazing time! With our two dogs the fenced in back yard was perfect. We had a week of enjoying the pool, paddle boards, kayaks, and ping pong tournaments. Jose even checked with us during the trip to ask if we needed any recommendations or anything they could do to make the trip better. Would absolutely recommend staying here. Will definitely be looking to rent a vacation stay with him again!
First let me start off by saying that Jose is an absolutely wonderful host. He reached out a week before our check-in date by sending us a very thorough welcome letter. He also stayed in contact throughout out our stay to make sure we didn’t have any needs or questions. They day after we checked out he sent an email thanking us for staying and hoping that we had made it back home safely.
The property was amazing. EVERYTHING we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable! There were TVs available in every common room (not that we used them much). The kitchen provided everything we needed.
When we weren’t out on the pontoon we rented from Marathon Pontoon Rental (which we were able to dock at the home) we enjoyed playing pool, hanging out in the sitting area, and playing in the pool. We also took advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks and checked out Boot Key Harbor.
We were also lucky enough to see a manatee in the channel. There were also resident iguanas that we would see from time to time. We got to see some pretty fish off of the dock as well.
We were there for a week with our family and a fur baby. We had so much fun experiencing the Keys. The area is beautiful and the vibe is island time. If you don’t know what that is you will learn what is is and come to love it! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The only thing we needed was more time.
Thank you Jose!! We hope to come back in the future!
Overall we were very happy with our choice. The place was cleaned and well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. Having the dockside access was great for kayaking. The property is on the backside of a strip mall so we would occasional hear the trucks driving down the road to unload. Walking distance to the supermarket, drug store and many other conveniences. Close driving to some of the great restaurants in the area. We also brought our dogs with us and they were very happy with their stay as well. The owner was very friendly and easily reached when needed for one small issue. They also sent us a very thoughtful anniversary gift!
Our first time visiting the keys and we were more than happy with the location we chose. The owner was in constant communication with me to make sure everything was OK. The place was clean and house was beautiful. The kids enjoyed the pool and one day we had 3 manatees hanging in the canal. My kids enjoyed hanging in the kayaks right next to the manatees. I would highly recommend staying at this place.
This was a great house and vacation for our kids and dogs!! The house was nice and clean, and there was good privacy in the backyard and pool area. The screened on backporch was a great touch, to hang out and eat dinner a couple nights. The provided baby gate was a very nice and thoughtful touch, esp. with kids and animals walking around. The living room furniture was very nice and comfortable. I would only say that the master bed mattress was a little firm for our liking, but we still slept well. Would definitely stay again!! :)
This was one of our best keys trips in a long time. The home was absolutely beautiful. Tons of amenities and very clean!! The owner, Jose was always available and very thorough with providing helpful info.
Literally this place offers everything you could possibly need to make your stay more enjoyable!
We will be booking again!

Flawless property. We enjoyed our stay here in pure comfort. From the pool to the pool room. For a fisherman access 4 blocks away to put the boat in was a breeze. Marathon has so much to offer. We went to the lighthouse a few times to snorkel. Great time for everyone. Went offshore to fish. Great time for me. Bayside for tubing and sandbar hopping. Thank you for letting us stay here and enjoy a family vacation!!
