Stephanie C.Family vacation.
We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The hosts were absolutely amazing. The lazy river pool was our favorite place to be. The grill ran out of propane one night and we messaged the host and within literally 2 minutes they were bringing us a full one. Thank you for everything, we definitely will be back.

"Thank you so much for the wonderful review—and sorry for the late reply; the response we originally had never posted. We’re thrilled the lazy river was your favorite spot, and I’m glad we could get a fresh propane tank to you within minutes. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Lazy River Vacation!"
Rebecca W.Fun Family time
The lazy river was a daily treat and the 3rd floor porch had a steady breeze - even in August! The house is an easy walk to stores and a cafe as well as Captain Hook’s Marina. The hosts were absolutely lovely and helped in the blink of an eye whenever we asked for anything. I cannot recommend this rental strongly enough - just do it!

Janet L.Private Paradise
We could not have stayed at a better place in Marathon. The owners Roger & Amy are great hosts. We hardly saw them but it was nice knowing if we needed something they were close by. The view from the observation deck was crazy beautiful and peaceful. Morning coffee & sunset cocktails with a 360 degree view, were amongst the highlights. The lazy river right on the property provided HOURS of relaxation and fun. We spent most of our time out there and used the outdoor kitchen most of the time. It will definitely be a CORE memory for our family and we can’t wait to book again. We also enjoyed fishing off the dock, seeing the manatee in the canal and kayaking out to the open water right from the property. WOW!!! This place is nothing short of Incredible. The only bad thing was that we couldn’t stay forever. Thank you Roger & Amy for opening your place up and sharing this private paradise. We will be back as soon as possible.

"Janet, Thank you so much for the 5 star review! You're definitely the kind of renters anyone would live to host! We're happy to hear how much you enjoyed our place. Most people don't know that my husband and I built everything on the property from the ground up, with lots of help from friends and family. Thanks to people like you, we feel all of our hard work has made something fun and unique. It's our idea of paradise and happy to hear that it is yours too! Come back again soon! Amy & Roger"
Benjamin David S.Awesome
Had an wonderful stay with the family.. Loved morning coffee on top balcony with one of the most amazing views in the keys. (Morning and night) Living area was beautiful and comfortable with all the amenities. With the lazy river and hot tub It was hard to leave to go see the sights.

"Ben, We're ecstatic to see the 5 star review from you! The observation deck is one of our favorite features too. We've watched sunrises and sunsets, fireworks all around 360 degrees, rainbows, satellites and more. The lazy river never gets old. It makes me wonder how many miles we have all gone around and around it. Thank you for being great renters! You left the place super clean! Come back again soon! Amy & Roger"
Heather O.Amazing place!!
What an amazing place and great people. We loved the lazy river! We recommend searching for the hidden words and pics in the tiles inside the pool. We had a wonderful time and we highly recommend it. We hope to come back again soon. :)

"Thanks for staying with us Heather and family! It was a pleasure having you stay here. You left the home very clean and well taken care of. We couldn't have asked for better renters. We hope you can come back soon!"
The pool is 100% yours for the entirety of your stay and you will not have to share it with anyone.
