"This house was very clean and well very well put together. So much to do just at the house alone. Eric was very responsive..." - Bailey

Set your compass for Captain's Quarters, your tropical paradise nestled in Marathon. Minutes from the shores of Sombrero Beach, this 4BR/3BA home casts off into luxury with a heated pool/spa, 2 elite sailing kayaks, a full kitchen with BBQ, and private deep-water dock access. Embark on nearby ocean adventures with top-notch fishing and snorkeling waiting to be discovered!

***What Sets Captain's Quarters Apart:

Ahoy there! I'm Eric, and I'm thrilled to extend you a warm, sea-salted welcome to my remodeled canal cottage.

Imagine waking up to the gentle lull of Gulf waters, as sunlight dances through palm leaves and into your nautically adorned bedroom. Here at Captain's Quarters, each room tells a story of maritime adventure and tropical serenity. It's a place where families can gather under the open sky, laughing around the heated spa while the scent of the ocean fills the air.

My favorite moments? They're spent lounging by our private pool, surrounded by the lush greenery that shields us from the world outside. It's this very private tropical oasis, with its foliage whispering tales of the sea, that made me fall in love with this property.

***Embrace the Sea Life:

“This home is better than the pictures! The whole house was spotless and full of amenities. The canal is beautiful at sunset. We saw iguanas, manatees, and lots of other fish right in the backyard.” – Madison

But the true gem lies at the back - a spacious 75-foot dock on the canal, ready to moor your boat securely. Imagine stepping out of your luxurious abode and onto your boat for an adventure at sea, whenever the mood strikes.

Enhancing your nautical experience, we proudly offer access to two state-of-the-art sailing kayaks, each valued at $10,000.

Glide effortlessly across the waters, explore hidden coves, or simply enjoy the serene beauty of the ocean at your own pace. These kayaks are not just equipment; they are your ticket to an unforgettable aquatic adventure, complimentary with your stay.

For the anglers among you, nothing beats the thrill of docking right at our home with your day's catch, ready to grill and relish. The complimentary sailing kayaks do take up 20 ft of dockage, but that still leaves 55 feet of dockage for your personal boat or rental boat.

The Gulf-side location of Captain's Quarters is a sailor's dream. Protected from the high waves yet right next to Vaca Cut, access to the Atlantic Ocean is but a 3 minute boat ride away.

It's here where the best fishing, snorkeling, and sandbar hopping await. And if you've ever dreamed of swimming in a turquoise fish tank with thousands of vibrant fish, Sombrero Reef will not disappoint.

***A Home Designed for Comfort and Discovery:

"This was a great place to stay with the family. The pool/hot tub combo was great for the kids and adults. The kids also loved all of the game options that the house provided." - Chelsey

I've taken care to ensure that the inside of Captain's Quarters reflects the beauty and spirit of the sea. Nautical vibes resonate through the house with carefully chosen oceanic artwork, bringing the splendor of the outdoors into every corner. The house itself, grounded and sturdy, sits high and dry, a testament to the Keys' resilience and charm.

Families find a special kind of joy here. The property is designed for multigenerational enjoyment, with spaces that bring together the young and the young at heart. Games like ping-pong, foosball, and arcade classics beckon for friendly competition, while the infinity game table offers digital fun for all ages.

***Your Private Escape in the Heart of the Action:

"The house was superb in every aspect. It was extremely clean and the location was great. Eric was very responsive and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed." - Cindy

While Captain's Quarters is your secluded retreat, it's also incredibly central.

A mere few minutes' drive or walk takes you to some of Marathon's finest attractions and eateries. I always recommend the Island Fish Company and Lazy Days South for a taste of the local culinary scene. And if you're keen to explore, rent a boat and venture out to Molasses Key, or simply stroll to Sombrero Beach for a sun-kissed afternoon.

About the host: Our family has visited Marathon for our vacations for many years and we've always dreamed of owning our own little piece of paradise in the area!

Captain's Quarters is that dream come to life. We've put a lot of love and care into the home to make it a wonderful place for a family getaway. We love relaxing in the outdoor kitchen and living space while watching our kids splash in the pool. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is one of a kind.

The home is just a short boat ride to the best sandbar in the area, super close to world class fishing, and right next to the Vaca Cut for quick access to the Atlantic Ocean. It's a quick drive to Sombrero Beach and the neighborhood is perfect for morning or evening walks or bike rides. We're excited to make plenty more family memories and are happy to be able to offer Captain's Quarters for you to make memories in as well. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay perfect.

Enjoy the emerald waters, laid back lifestyle and spectacular sunsets at Captain's Quarters!
