Owner Info
Joe Curley
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: Grew up in Ohio, lived in S. Florida for 13 yrs but I always wanted to own a home in the Keys.... so I bought one in 2009. A few years later we had a business with 5 great waterfront homes in Marathon, FL. All of our homes have the a few things in common that you won't find in all homes in the Keys:
1. Unobstructed water views (not a canal home)
2. Easy access deep water docks for you boat
3. Kayaks & Bikes
4. Well maintained with modern furnishing and decor.
Why this property? Octagonal shape home with 180 degree water views. Unique location on the saltwater cove with protected dockage and view of both the cove and the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaks: English

Can i rent less than 7 days?
We are a licensed vacation home with the City of Marathon which dictates 7 day minimum rentals. All of our contracts will be for 7 days at the weekly rate and you can arrive and leave on any date within that week's span

We will make our best attempt to rent the home and refund your rental fees. This is the best policy in this industry. Unlike renting through a real estate agent that will keep your fees and re-rent the home

My recommendation is to ship to the UPS Store in Marathon

Thanks Mark. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Best regards, Joe
Great home, great pool, great location!
Having rented this home a few times, it always feels like a hug when arriving because it is so comfortable and feels like home. Besides being close to everything Marathon offers, we're always satisfied spending hours in the pool and relaxing in the Tiki hut enjoying the view and all nature offers in the beautiful canal.

Thank you for the review.
Beautiful views and quiet neighborhood
Everything was exactly as advertised, not any disappointment. The house was well stocked with kitchen utensils, linens and lots of nice amenities. And, it was easier to rent from this owner than we have experienced with many other places. They were great. We really enjoyed our trip and plan to visit again. The only thing we would have changed? The folks renting the unit next door were very nice, we enjoyed meeting them. But, every time they left the house, their little dog barked non stop, often for 2-3 hours. We know this has no bearing on the homeowners but, we will check to see if the unit is rented next time! :)
