Photos and Description of the Marathon vacation condo rental
Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)

A premier Florida vacation destination located in the heart of the beautiful and majestic Florida Keys, Marathon. Whether your just here taking advantage of some of the best sport fishing in the world for Marlin, Sailfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), etc., kayaking the scenic mangroves which are an ecosystem by themselves full of exotic wildlife in the water, land and air, sailing or cruising the wonderful waters surrounding the Florida Keys, or snorkeling or diving one of the most beautiful natural coral reefs in the world. Maybe you are just here to relax enjoying Sombrero beach, or maybe just sitting poolside enjoying the music, and the gentle Keys breeze with an occasional bird song. Remember just next door is one of the only golf courses in the Florida Keys. Right in the resort, you will find lighted tennis courts, large swimming pool.

Just take a walk on our docks and seawall and take a look at the beautiful mangrove lined canal, while viewing spectacular vessels from all over the world. While on your walk, you might see an occasional manatee, tarpon, pelican or osprey.

Whether you are relaxing poolside or dockside, taking advantage of the great sportfishing, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, sailing, boating, skiing, motorcycling, bicycling, or one of the other activities or recreations available in the Florida Keys, be sure to bring along your camera. Not matter what you do here; you will want to capture some of your beautiful surroundings and your great moments with your camera. Some travel here just for the photography.

If you're ready to enjoy a great day out of the water, you don't have to go any farther than our resort.

After your day out be sure to stop by our poolside tiki bar.

Enjoy the relaxing music and poolside entertainment by local artists while you sip on a tropical drink bragging about your big catch, great kayaking trip or wonderful dive or maybe just brag about enjoying the beach all day.

Hungry? Whatever your taste the island has many wonderful restaurants to suit your pallet. Right in the resort, you can enjoy the New York Style pizza, pasta, and sandwiches from Marathon Pizza & Pasta.

Disappointing Property

2 of 5
Submitted: April 17, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
The property looked great in the pictures but I must say I was disappointed. First of all, the prior reviews about it being clean did not apply to our stay. The bathroom was dirty and appeared not have been cleaned at all. There was hair in the shower and on the floor. The towels were stained and dirty also. The refrigerator hadn't been wiped down and the stove was dirty.

Also the blinds (verticals) in the bedroom were broken and missing parts so you ended having no privacy and light constantly coming in the room. The safe didn't work either. The drawers in the bedroom and in the bathroom have never been wiped down from previous guests. There was sand and hair in the drawers.

And the view of the water does not apply to this unit. Our view was the parking lot.
The artificial plants were covered in dust. The cooking utensils could use some freshening up too. The pots were scratched and I don't think the oven had been touched in months. The whole unit desperately needs a really good cleaning, new linens and maybe a property manager.

Just a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.
Owner's Response: I never got a call from them, we could have moved them to another unit with a better view, I do appreciate the information and housekeeping did find the damaged blinds after your checkout not before. We are doing a deep clean now that season is over. Batteries on safes, locks and fire alarms are replaced annually. We still feel its the finest unit in the complex and a great value.

A really nice place to stay in the keys

My husband and I just completed a 4 night stay over New Year at this property, firstly I am very glad we booked as when we drove down highway 1, we didn't see a resort that didn't say "no vacancy"
The room was wonderfully clean, and when we arrived the ac had been left on for us,though we had no need to use it again - we're from Barbados and Florida in winter feels nice and cool! it had been updated very nicely when compared to the other units we saw, with a new kitchen and bathroom, lovely floor tiles and nice tropical style furniture, everything worked, the kitchen was well equipped, there was a nice big safe in the wardrobe, hairdryer etc we would recommend this place in an instant, booking was straightforward it was easy to find and although there arn't any great views to be had, who spends time looking out of windows when you have the keys to explore!
We had a great day Kayaking around the Mangroves courtesey of Wheels to go (they also rent bikes) their office is opp Mcdonalds on Highway 1, who dropped the Kayak off for us at Sombrero beach,gave us a great map, we saw loads of wildlife also had a fantastic meals at both Castaways and the Sunset Grille, never got a chance to use the bar or pool at the resort but did have a walk by the canal - again saw pelicans and a giant Iguana!
If we ever go back to Marathon this is where we will stay A+++++!!!!!

MIddle Keys hidden gem

4 of 5
Submitted: July 10, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Upgraded and updated 1BR gem of a condo was perfect for our family of 3. All was just as pictured in the photos listed and well-maintained. The king size bed was clean and comfortable as was the futon on the living area. Nice flat screen tvs that worked great. Owner was great to work with and answered all my questions promptly. The safe in the closet was helpful. AC units new and worked GREAT!Appliances all new and in great working condition. Hot water worked great and shower had good water pressure. Linens provided as well as extra pillows and blankets. Pool was large, well maintained, and within easy walking distance. Tiki bar was open a few nights while we were there, and there was live music one night. Very close to a great beach...Sombrero! Best 4th of July fireworks show we have ever seen...45 minute show! Convenient to 2 grocery stores, KMart, and other shopping for food, restaurants, snorkeling adventures and only a little over an hour to Key West. We recommend Spirit snorkeling, Porky's for lunch, and Castaways or the Key Fisheries for dinner with sunset. Take a day trip to Bahia Honda State Park- only 20-25 minutes away. Tennis courts were nice and fully functional. Easy access to the canal if you have a boat or kayak. Covered parking was available, but only minimal spaces. Laundry facilities on site, but were a bit pricey. We felt had our privacy although this appeared to be a pretty full property, with both renters and permanent residents. Overall, the resort property was in fair shape and appeared to be in transition with property management and maintenance. An older property in need of some tlc, but this particular unit was great! We would go back and would recommend to others! Great value for a week's stay and location was ideal!

Disappointment

1 of 5
Submitted: July 5, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The photos did not reflect the rentals description! King size pillow top bed,wrong! Two full size beds. Porch overlooking canal,Wrong! Overlooking parking lot. The common property is not clean or well maintained. When we entered the condo it had a musty smell, discovered it is the a/c unit. The couch is cloth and dust flew when touched. The unit was dusty, blinds ,furniture etc. The refrigerator was dirty had to wipe down! This unit is nicely updated, but to nice for this property. I will not recommend this property to anyone! The owner has more than one unit in this condominium complex, but only uses one property description, misleading, false advertising!!!!! What is behind door # 1 or door # 2 ????
Owner's Response: Prior renter had not vacated the unit and we offered our personal unit which we do not rent. Later that evening when the unit was ready we asked them to transfer over but they chose to stay "our unit is actually nicer than our rental" All the porches over look the parking lots. the water front is at the front doors. It is truly a 5 star room in a 2 star resort which is in the banks hands as we await new owners. We have stayed for months at a time and love our little resort in paradise. I called renter as he lives where I do to offer him a free stay and he never called back.
