Angler's at Sombrero is a brand new development on Sombrero Beach Road, just down the street from Sombrero Beach - a beautiful oceanfront beach! Sandy beaches are not common in the Keys, so it a real asset to have an oceanfront sandy beach just down the street! Sandy beaches are not common in the Keys, so it a real asset to have an oceanfront sandy beach just down the street! There is a sidewalk all along Sombrero Beach Road where you can bike, exercise, or walk to the beach! About two minutes from the grocery store (Publix and Winn Dixie), a minute from the beach, and less than 10 minutes from any of the amazing restaurants and activities in Marathon, the location is perfectly centrally located! Only an hour from Key West and about 20 minutes from Bahia Honda State Park, you can easily make day trips!
We recommend that you have a car during your stay in the Keys.
We provide TP, PT, hand, dish and bath soap, laundry pods, and dishwasher detergent that should be enough to last a week. We also provide all the bed linens, baths, and pool/beach towels.
Airbnb does not have the ability in their software to collect the Marathon County Tax of 5% so we have to send a separate payment request for those funds. They do collect the Florida State Tax of 7.5%.
It is mandatory that the guest manage their trash throughout their stay. Directions about pick-up days are in the manual at the property and in the Welcome Letter sent out before arrival.
We also ask that you clean the grill to the best of your ability before you leave. Do you not use charcoal in the grill as it is a gas grill.
If you would like the pool heated above 80 degrees, there is a $125 fee per week (prorated for longer stays).
$45 Management Fee is Damage Insurance covering up to 3k in damages.

Reviews
This rental home has everything!
We loved our stay at Dockside Retreat! The house was decorated perfectly for a tropical vacation. We used the pool every day. There were pool noodles, kayaks, cruiser bikes etc. We used all of the fun toys. We loved the tiki hut and had so much kayaking in the canals. The location is great. Close to the beach, the grocery store and Highway 1. You will be so happy you booked it!

Family Vacation
This rental has it all for a large group! The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need, and the pool area with the tiki hut offers hours of enjoyment for kids and adults. We took advantage of the bikes provided and made the easy ride to Sombrero Beach just down the road. You can’t beat the location and all the amenities this property offers. We enjoyed our stay at Dockside Retreat and highly recommend Meredith and Florida Rentals!

Awesome house!!!
We recently stayed in the dockside retreat and loved it. We traveled to Marathon with my wife, kids, and mother in law and all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, new, and had everything we needed. Location was great with a beautiful beach right down the road. My kids and I enjoyed fishing right from the dock, and the pool was awesome.
