About Jeffrey M. Welbaum

Our family is comprised of a public servant, retired French & Spanish teacher, Air Force Officer, and Spanish teacher. Our family was raised in Troy, Ohio where Jeff and Peg currently live.

Jeffrey M. Welbaum purchased this condo in 2002
Why Jeffrey M. Welbaum chose Marathon

The views from the balconies are spectacular. The Gulf water is less than 16 yards away. The pool is beautiful. The dock on the Vaca Cut is a great place to fish. The condo is centrally located beetween Key Largo and Key West. The condo is spacious, 1,400 square feet of interior living area plus the two balconies. The condo is a lot better than it looks in pictures.

What makes this condo unique

The two water front balconies are located on the east side of the building. This provides valuable afternoon shade while sitting on the decks. Even during the hot summer afternoons, the balonies are surprisingly comfortable with the shade and sea breeze.

The best local beach, Sombrero, is about a 5 minute drive.

Also within 5 miles are two beaches, golf courses, and tennis and basketball courts. Drive another 10 miles and you will pass three more beaches.

Awesome Vacation Spot

This experience was amazing for us. The condo made our experience the best because it was so clean and comfy. It was a nice place to know we could come back to after exploring all that the keys have to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed everything the condo had to offer, including the pool, location, view, and spacious living space. We had a blast and would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a good time in the keys.

Great place in Marathon

Thanks to the owner Jeff for a great rental. The unit was very accommodating. We had everything we needed to cook fresh seafood dinners & sit & relax after going to the nice beaches in Marathon & especially Bahia Honda [just to the South]. We've been to Florida many times & this was a very nice rental. Clean, nice beds, nice layout, use of bikes, nice pool, & great views. And the way it was represented on the internet was exactly what you got, which is not always the case. Highly recommended!!!!

Wonderful Vacation!

Submitted: March 3, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We had a great experience and the condo was wonderful! Very clean and well supplied with everything you need to feel at home. Lots to do in the area and enjoyed riding the bikes each day for exercise and getting down to the beach. Central located in the keys short drive to Key West for a fun day. Enjoyed the ride on a Air Boat by Zak. Jeff was easy to work with and very helpful with all his information on places to see and eat. Would love to return next year again and HIGHLY recommend this condo and location
in Marathon.

Pelican Perch Has It All

This is the second time we have stayed at Pelican Perch and we will return again. The views are spectacular especially the sunrise. The small community is quiet and friendly. Jeff meticulously maintains the property and is a delight to work with. We have been coming to the Keys for 36 years. Pelican Perch is centrally located to everything that is the Keys.

Awesome place to relax

5 of 5
Submitted: February 18, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
The condo exceeded our expectations. The photos did not do justice to the upstairs bedrooms. The owner was resourceful and extremely helpful in supplying information. The sunrise from the master bedroom was every morning worth waking up for. We enjoyed the dolphins at Hawk's Cay and the Dolphin Resource Center. We were in the wrong season for surfing around the condo; there was no fish. A bonus on New Years Eve was a two-hour long life concert at the restaurant across the Gulf and the awesome fireworks at midnight. For the rest it was a great place to relax. We hope to be back!
