Year Purchased: 2017
About the owner: My husband and I started coming to Marathon in 2011 and fell in love with the area! We owned and managed a vacation property at a different location for 8 years (vrbo 847647) * See my reviews on that property* We sold that property and bought and completely gutted and renovated this beautiful home. With our growing family, we were ready for a bigger home.
We love to come down to the KEYS with our three young adult sons (21,23, and 26) to fish, relax and reconnect as a family. It is a true paradise!
Why this property? The views are so beautiful and the neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. You can get lost just looking at the water, watching dolphins play, manatees swim by, or just relaxing in the pool. If you can manage to leave the tranquility of this home, take a walk to the beach or a bike ride in the neighborhood. There are nice wide sidewalks to ride your bike. Star gazing at night is another favorite activity.
You will love this peaceful oasis!

True PARADISE
This home is immaculate. From the time you pull up in the driveway to the time you leave you will be mesmerized by this beautiful 4 bedroom home on the ocean front. The bedrooms are very roomy and comfy and the kitchen and living area have such a spectacular view. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you would need and very roomy to cook in. The outdoor living area is off the chart. Plenty of space chairs and tables to relax and enjoy the sun rise or the sunset. The Infinity pool is about as relaxing as you can get. Plenty of room for everyone in your party to enjoy. Walk down the steps to get into the ocean if you so desire or throw a line out in the water and catch some fish. Bikes and kayaks are there for your use as well. We will be returning to this absolutely gorgeous home.

We are so happy to have shared our home with you and your family and that you loved our home as much as we do! We are also delighted that we helped to make this one of your favorite vacations.We would be happy to host you again in the future!
Just what we were looking for!
What a wonderful experience.This home in Marathon is the perfect place to kick back and relax. The owner Pamela was very accessible from start to finish and was great to work with! You can see that Pamela is a very meticulous person and cares very much that her renters feel like they are at home. The home is like new and the floor plan was well thought out. The rooms are well appointed, extremely clean and comfortable and offered us everything we needed to enjoy our getaway...and then some. The kitchen and bathrooms provided us with necessities and "little things" that were needed and there were plenty of clean linens and towels to go around. The ocean views were just awesome and could be seen from anywhere in the home and in the pool. Our favorite time of the day was when we enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. I would also highly advise star-gazing at night to further put you in relaxation mode! The location is great and close to everything. We took a short walk to the beach one day but for the most part felt no need or desire to leave the property. We will absolutely be back!
