* Please Note* This home is directly on the water, as all direct waterfront homes in the Florida Keys natures Seasonal Tradewinds may push surface grass to the shoreline of the property.

For this purpose we have a break wall in place that prohibits the grass and ocean debris from coming ashore on our beach. You can access the water from our "floating dock" where you can launch your boat, paddle boards, and kayaks to avoid this seasonal grass.

We also provide complimentary starter of 2 rolls of toilet paper per bath, 3 rolls of paper towels, 1 box of trash bags, 1 bottle of laundry detergent, and 1 box of dryer sheets, along with a hand soap in each bathroom.

About the host: Since 2006 I have been visiting the keys and since 2018 it has become my home! I originated in Illinois where I owned and operated a restaurant for over 30 years and I bring my hospitality experience with me in hosting guests in our home we lovingly call Seaside Sandpiper! My mission is to create joy in the people we serve and to insure our home becomes one you love as your own during your stay with us.

Why this property? Seaside Sandpiper has something no other home has in Marathon. The unique ability to be your own private resort or a venue for your family reunion, wedding, wedding renewal of vows, business retreats and much more! We fell in love with Marathon's laid back family friendly environment and we love this property because it encompasses everything Florida Keys! From the outstanding fishing, snorkeling and diving to the beautiful scenery, our home makes that possible. Did we mention, Sombrero Beach is just a short walk away! Seaside Sandpiper allows you access from our floating dock to the ocean via our kayaks and paddle boards or you can enjoy the ocean view from our huge zero entry pool!

Guestbook comments from the host:

Overall -a perfect set up for a large extended family with a range of ages. Many outdoor activities on the property. The pool and hot tub are amazing . The house is huge with private corridors (bed and bath) for individual families to be near one another. Kitchen and dining perfect for our large crowd. Hosts Carmen and Sherry very helpful thru out the week *Some improvements that could be made easily- improved wifi and tv service (basketball fans had trouble watching the NCAA games, when the littles needed down time out of the sun, Netflix connections were not good) cleanliness (this house could use a really good deep cleaning) , some of the hinged exterior doors wouldn’t stay closed in the wind,and a safety concern- you can’t lock this house up at night or if you are leaving it on a day trip. All that aside, EVERYONE in our family had a wonderful time here, and we hope to be back again some day!


Mar 2024

24 family members stayed for a week at Seaside Sandpiper. Everyone remarked about having the right amount of privacy and common space. Centrally located in the Florida Keys easy to access other activities. The pool/hot tub beach side is amazing! Tiki bar with TV for watching sports or whatever is your thing. There is a shared dock for kayaking/paddle boarding from or rent a boat and keep it there. Fishing from the dock was great fun too. We saw a Manatee from the dock too. Dolphins swam by several mornings. We also enjoyed watching the sea birds. Grocery stores, restaurants and other activities were close and convenient. Great family vacation! I highly recommend this property.


Jan 2024

The property was great! There was plenty for our family to do for the kids and the “ big kids”. Plenty of privacy for us to spread out and have our own spaces. Convenient to stores and the beach! Our family created amazing memories here we will never forget this place! There were minor issues with showers and the elevator. But that’s houses. We understand that! Sherry is as great to deal with and very helpful. Thank you!


Feb 2023

The house accommodated our 9 grandkids and 8 adults perfectly. Catching tarpon and redfish off the dock was an unexpected surprise.


Jan 2023

Great house for large group! Our family was celebrating my mom’s 80th birthday. We were 13 adults and 6 children 7 and under. The house was perfect for us! So much for the kids to do and space to eat and sleep. Great mornings drinking coffee looking at the ocean while Kids played in the sand, brunch cooked in the tiki hut while kids played in the pool, and grilling dinner out by the basketball court! Awesome to have 2 washers and dryers. The ice machine was a great bonus too. Location was perfect. Publix being so close, easy walk with kids to sombrero beach and fabulous new playground. Great nature center up the road. Theatre of the sea is an easy 40 min. Drive. So worth it. I also highly recommend Castaway waterfront restaurant. Delicious and great service. Great at accommodating all 19 of us with reservations. Thank you Sherry for being a wonderful host!
