Greer H.Perfect location and home for exploring the Keys.
This beautiful home was perfect for our family reunion. The 4 king bed en-suite bedrooms are spacious with super comfortable beds and bedding. The family room/kitchen/dining area is a wonderful space to hang out - the kitchen is well equipped and there’s a great outdoor gas grill. We enjoyed the ground level patio/pool area the most. Just a wonderful place to relax and swim. Plus we had fun watching the sea turtles and manatees swim up the canal. There were a couple of friendly iguanas who also liked hanging out by the pool. The home is about an hour’s drive to Key West where we enjoyed some water activities - parasailing and an adventure shark feeding tour. There’s plenty to do in and around Marathon - the Turtle Rescue center and Dolphin Research center are worth a visit and don’t miss out on walking along the 7 mile bridge. We found some great restaurants and the family favorite for an ice cream treat was Conch Custard. The house hosts were just so kind and hospitable and were always prompt in responding to our messages. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

JC (Jeffrey D.Perfect!
This home was perfect for our trip to sunny Florida. Marathon itself was a great little spot and this home offered everything we needed. 3 couples stayed here with room for more! The pool was great for unwinding after a busy day. The home was clean and everything was labeled to make clean up easy. We will definitely stay here again!

This home is magnificent!!! Our family of seven adults had plenty of room with four “master like bedrooms” with king beds and their own bathrooms!!! Nicole is super with communication and anything you may need!!! We will definitely rent again if ever in the area!!! Close to grocery stores (Winn Dixie and Publix) and close to some great places to eat! We were able to fish right off the dock at the house. Rent this home…you will not be disappointed!!!

Bobby S.Lobster Week 2023
We had an excellent stay at Kracken's Cove for our lobster season trip this year! The property was in excellent shape, in a fantastic location for where we wanted to dive and fish and had plenty of dockage for both our boats. The house is well supplied and the four master suites makes it easy for multiple couples to split the rooms. Nicole, the owner, was a fantastic host and very hospitable, and even helped out to get us in a little early. If I had only one complaint about the week was the neighbor next door was over extending his dockage which made us tie up side by side for half a day but that was quickly resolved and we had no other issues the rest of the stay. Otherwise overall a fantastic stay and I highly recommend the location! We shall return one day!!

We wanted a place to spend our family vacation and this house was just perfect! It has everything you can think of, pool for the kids, boat dock, and enough room to separate if you wanna have some quiet time. Nikki and Wayne are amazing hosts. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for opening up your beautiful home to us!!

Greg O.Paradise in the FL Keys!
The house was amazing - photos show exactly the beautiful backyard and the bedrooms and kitchen. Perfect location midway from Miami to Key West. Great restaurants nearby and the house has plenty of room for 4 couples, even though we were only 3 couples for our stay.Everyone enjoyed the home - it was very clean and had everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Nicole was awesome and is very responsive! I would definitely stay here again and again and we're looking to book again - June was a great month to be there. The pool got a lot of use and the heat was not that bad...I would highly recommend this location and house and also having Nicole to turn to for any questions on dining, shopping etc. She is awesome!Thanks again Nicole! We were VERY VERY Happy with this location and your home! BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to come back!

Nicole P.Wonderful vacation!
We vacationed with two families of four (4 adults, 4 children). The house was the ideal size. It was beautiful with well thought-out amenities including the pool, tiki bar, dock, quality appliances including huge washer/dryer, tankless water heater, and most importantly very comfortable beds! It was perfectly located close to restaurants, a grocery store, the beach, aquarium and more; but far enough off the main road so you could enjoy your vacation with small children worry free. The owners were extremely accommodating and by far the easiest I've ever rented from. We will definitely be back!

Jessica J.Maximum Relaxation
This house was AMAZING! Had everything we needed, and everything we didn't know we needed. Pool, canal views, wildlife, games, etc. Perfect for our large friend group. Everyone even had their own bathrooms! The food in the area was so good, and there were plenty of excursions nearby (fishing, kayaking, snorkeling).This place and our host went above and beyond all expectations.

Tina Ericson Booked But Our Family Also Stayed (my Name Is Shannah G.Amazing home on a canal with private pool!
This amazing Marathon rental was perfect for our 2 families to stay and play together! The 4 bedrooms with attached bathrooms gave everyone their own space and privacy and the open floor plan worked for everyone. The upper deck and lower patio area with private pool were our favorite places to hang out all hours of the day. We rented kayaks and a paddle board and explored the ocean floor and mangroves. A sweet manatee came right up to our dock and hung out for awhile. We toured The Turtle Rescue hospital and learned so much about sea turtles and we even got to see a rehabilitated turtle get released into the ocean! Sombrero Beach is only 3 miles away and Key West was only about an hour drive away. We visited 3 times. Sunset Watersports gave us an all day experience of a lifetime with parasailing, jet skiing, banana boat rides, snorkeling and kayaking. 10 out of 10 would do it again in a heartbeat! The sunset at Mallory Square is a must see! Duval street has so many shops, bars and restaurants. There was so much to do and see. We can't wait to return!

Tina E."Perfect Paradise Family Get Away in Marathon"
Luxury at it's finest. This family friendly home is beautifully decorated and sits at the end of a canal. It has a stunning heated pool and plenty of room to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The possibilities are endless at this property. You can fish from the dock, rent kayaks/paddle boards to explore the vast ocean marine life. You might just get a visit from a manatee. Niki (the home owner) was prompt to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. We highly recommend this rental and look forward to visiting again.

Jill C.Fabulous tropical getaway
What a wonderful vacation home, in the heart of Marathon! Our family of 5 adults and 2 children had plenty of room to stay and this home is perfect for a worry-free, relaxing vacation. Each bedroom is a master suite with comfortable beds and beautiful bathrooms. We really enjoyed the downstairs pool area..my children were in the pool every time we were at the house! We relaxed on the multiple seating areas and utilized the outdoor bar for adult cocktail time. We cooked dinner one night on the outdoor grill and ate around the table on the top deck. The dock behind the house is situated in a private canal. We were able to easily maneuver our own boat to and from the gulf. There is also a super friendly manatee that lives in the canal! He visited us daily. We enjoy fishing while in the Keys, but we did visit nearby Sombrero Beach for the first time and it definitely won’t be our last visit there. I highly recommend this vacation rental…Nicole was a gem to work with. Extremely accommodating and very quick to respond with questions. We hope to go back to this same home in our future Keys trips!

The house and host are absolutely wonderful. The amenities of the house are more than plentiful. There is nothing that hasn’t been thought of. We had a party of 8 adults and had so much room. The outside area is just as wonderful as the inside. We are already planning on returning! Nicole is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Lisa E.Amazing
We had a wonderful time in the Keys and this house was perfect for us! We have four couples with us so have four masters was what we were looking for. There was so much space here inside and outside. The kitchen and living room is very large. The space made it nice for all of us to work in the kitchen together and hang out and play games. We rented a boat and we really liked the location since we didn’t have to travel to far to get out to the ocean. We did alot of fishing over by the 7 mile bridge and It took us no time to get there! The pool area was also very large and the water was the perfect temperature. We also really appreciated how attentive the owners were to our needs. We will be back next year and will be recommending this place to our friends!

Yvonne N.Excellent Stay!
My family and I stayed one week at this house in Marathon and we LOVED it! My husband and I have 3 adult children and their significant others, and this house allowed us to be together but yet have 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms for privacy. Economically, it is much more reasonable to rent this house than to purchase 4 hotels rooms. In addition, the pool is outstanding, completely private, and our young grandchild had so much fun learning how to swim. This house is ideal for 4 couples or a family with children needing their own space. The house was also extremely clean and Nicole was such a wonderful host, always accommodating, and always eager to answer my questions with kindness and concern. I felt an instant connection with Nicole, someone that I could trust and genuinely cared that my family enjoyed our stay at her home. The location is also close to an array of activities but yet a private location for you to enjoy with family and friends. You can't go wrong with this home and I will recommend to friends and family. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.

We have a large family and this place had more than enough space to accommodate us. It was nice having a bathroom for every bedroom and the house was well laid out and very clean. The beautiful pool and patio space was great for our kids as well as dinner with friends. We also enjoyed seeing the manatees from the dock, as they swam up the canal. Our stay really felt like we were at a nice resort with all of the amenities. Niki and Wayne were very responsive and friendly. We would highly recommend this place to those looking for a relaxing vacation as well as those who are more adventurous and ready to explore all that the Keys has to offer.
