About this rental
Gorgeous crystal clear, open water views of the Gulf of Mexico, incredible sunsets. Deep Water Dockage for your boat, snorkel, fish or dive right from the dock.
This is not your typical canal home that are rented throughout Marathon. This one has open water, privacy and an un-obstructed view. This property overlooks a large water cove, deepest point is 25 feet. So much marine life to enjoy right from the dock, including tarpon tailing, manatees, rays and porpoises and snapper. Beyond the cove is the Gulf of Mexico, to the east is Vaca Cut ocean access and to the west 7 mile bridge ocean access. The best part is that there's 75' of waterfront for your boat dockage (up to 32' boat for this rental). There is also plenty of room for your vehicle and trailer.
Accommodates sleeping 4-6 people with one king, 2 twins, and a single roll-away bed (please advise if your party is over 4). Fully stocked with cookware and linens. Just bring your boat, dive gear & tackle! If you don't have a boat, we'll guide you to boat rentals and they can deliver one right to your dock.
Experience the Keys laid back lifestyle and enjoy the GREAT Water views! Flat screen TV, cable, DVD players, high speed wireless internet access, board games and cards for night time family fun.
Feel free to call or e-mail any questions you may have...our goal is to make your vacation and stay, wonderful, relaxing and memorable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there room to park a trailer and a dock for my boat
Yes and Yes
Where is the nearest boat launch?
Just down the street off Aviation Blvd
Can i bring my dog?
Yes but we must approve. When you inquire tell us about your dog: breed and weight
Can we rent your home for one night?
The City of Marathon regulates all vacation homes to 7 day minimum stays. All of our contracts will be for 7 days but you can arrive late or leave early - still a great value with more comfort and amenities over a hotel
Can i have more than 6 people in this home?
No. Again the City of Marathon regulates occupancy - besides you would not be comfortable. Ask us about a larger home

Paradise outside your window
Recently rented this beautiful apartment with this amazing view. This place did not disappoint, saw dolphins and sea turtles almost every morning. Joe was very easy to communicate with and made our visit effortless.

Hi Cindy - Great having you as a guest. Thank you for taking time to write a review. Best regards, Joe
Great views
Spent much time sitting along the dock taking in the calm, restful atmosphere as the view was amazing. We even had a manatee come swim up to dock. Duplex was very spacious. Good communication with both the owner and property manager.

Hi Janet, Thank you for staying with us and for taking time to write a review. Keep in touch on your next visit to the Keys. We have another home on the same cove, one by the 7-Mile Bridge, and one other construction on Tingler Island near Sombrero Beach. Best regards, Joe & Mary
Great Location
Duplex was in a great location. Quick access to ocean ! Rented a boat and was able to keep it right out front. Unit was nice and had basic necessities. Used the two kayaks several times - they were nice to have available.

Thank you for the nice review.
Great location home from home.
My family and I had a great week here. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need. Great amenities nearby and some superb restaurants just minutes away. We loved having a sunrise coffee by the water watching the wildlife and a quick kayak around Shands key before going out for the day. The whole rental process was very easy and trouble free. We will return!

Hi Steven, Thanks for taking time to review our vacation home on Aviation. Keep in touch on your next visit. We have 3 other great options as well as the home you stayed in. Best regards, Joe & Mary
Wow! Great vacation rental
This rental provides a wonderful relaxing vacation destination. The view is amazing with an occasional manatee or nurse shark swimming by. Kayaks and bikes provide exercise and adventure. Rental itself is cozy and contains all the necessities.

Boating paradise
The location was great. The access to open water was one minute away with our boat which gave us the opportunity to go and see the sunset every night. The lagoon is filled with sea life: We saw, manatees, parrots fish, juvenile green turtle, small barracudas, snappers, tarpons, nurse shark. It was a delight for your eyes and we used the available kayak to get close and personal to the wildlife and islands near by. Joe and Mary's home was very clean and very comfortable. Debbie the manager was always attentive to our needs and very kind. I would highly recommend this home to any ocean lover. We'll be back!!

Can't wait to return.
The home was clean and well maintained and the location and views were priceless. Owners Joe and Mary were great to work with. We have been going to the keys for decades and this was the best spot so far.
