Angler's at Sombrero is a newer 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! 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 or so 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 soap, bath bar soap, laundry pods, laundry detergent, trash bags, basic kitchen/bath cleaner, dishwasher detergent that should be enough to last a week. We also provide all the bed linens, baths, and pool/beach towels and two propane tanks.
It is mandatory that the guest manage their trash throughout their stay. A Pineapple Properties team member will take the cans to the street for pick up on trash days and also return them to the spot where they belong. You just need to ensure your trash is taken to the cans and does not pile up during your stay.
We do 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.
$45 Management Fee is Damage Insurance covering up to 3k in damages.

A blast with bikes & kayaks
We enjoyed biking almost every day along with kayaking almost every day when it wasn't raining or windy. We also really enjoyed the lighted sidewalks for evening walks to the beach. Paying the extra for the pool heat was well worth it as our weather was not the warmest but still a wonderful week in the keys. The little things like having toilet paper, dishwashing soap, dish soap and soap for every bathroom really is a wonderful touch as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Marathon. We also enjoyed the beach chairs, toys and the stand up paddle boards as well. The pans for cooking were also excellent. Thanks again.

This place is awesome! And so Well Equipped!
Loved this place! Came down for a holiday getaway with the family and was perfect for all of us. Unit was well equipped with kayaks, bicycles and all of the water toys for us to not to have to bring a lot of extra with us (perfect for flying in as we did) and since we rented a boat for the week, it made it easy to go out fishing and diving but just jumping on a going. Also, Kitchen had everything we needed, and the heated pool was perfect for the granddaughter! Merideth and the Pineapple Properties team were a pleasure to deal with as well. Overall, couldn't have asked for more!

Dockside
We just returned from our week vacation in Marathon. The house was perfect for our family, we had 9 people and it was very spacious. The bedrooms were nice size. The house was very clean and had everything you would need for the week. Everyone in our group was happy with the arrangements. The outside was also clean, the pool and Tiki Hut was perfect for our nights. We didn’t bring our boat this time but there was a boat dock. Next time we are bringing the boat. Meredith was very helpful, always available for any issues. Which there weren’t any. We will definitely be back Thank you again for everything

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.
