Ideal Location for Boaters — Easy Water Access + Beautiful Home

We stayed at Turtle Cove to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our friend Michelle’s birthday, and it could not have been a better choice for the 4 of us. The house was spotless, well-kept, and had everything we needed for a relaxing week in the Keys. The outdoor area was our favorite part. The pool and hot tub were beautiful, and the fish cleaning station + private dock made boating and fishing super convenient. Getting in and out on the water was easy, and coming back to the pool in the evenings was perfect. We had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend this home to anyone, especially if you’re bringing a boat. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

It's wonderful to know you would highly recommend our home and stay with us again. We would love to host you all again in the future!Warmly, The Turtle Cove team"

Wow, What a place.

I have been renting various vacation accommodations in the Keys for 25 years. This one was to date the nicest. This place checked all the boxes. Everything has recent paint. The whole place was spotless. Tons of room. Plenty of room for a boat trailer. The beds were comfortable. The towels and bedding were newer. The place is surrounded by vegetation to give privacy from the neighboring properties. Hell, even the kitchen knives were sharp. The communication between Jennifer (The owner) and Gail (The property manager) was on spot. Thank you to Jennifer, Gail and to the crew that keeps this place up!!!

Great Location and Amenities

We had a great stay. The weather was perfect. We had 6 adults, our two adult sons and their girlfriends, so the house worked perfectly for us as we could separate the men from the ladies with the sleeping arrangements since the house had two floors. We all enjoyed the great pool all week which offered water volleyball and water basketball ball. The hot tub was a hit with the kiddos as well. The house had all of the amenities that you would want in a vacation house. Easy access to the ocean side for fishing, sandbars and snorkeling. 7-mile bridge and vaca cut were not far away. No issues with getting in and out of the canal. A pod of manatee's swan through one day. Centrally located for easy access to bait, Publix, shopping and restaurants. We had ownership transition prior to our stay but everything went smoothly from Margie to Jenny. Gail the property manager communicated perfectly. We will be back again.

Great stay

Our family of 6 spent a wonderful 3 weeks at Turtle Cove. This home with 2 separate living spaces was perfect for us. Everything was very clean when we arrived and the amenities were as described in the listing. We loved the central location in Marathon, the quiet street with friendly neighbors, the heated pool, hot tub and having the canal for kayaking, fishing and watching for manatees and tarpon. Communications with the owners Margie and then Jennifer couldn’t have been better and Gail the house manager stayed in touch to make sure we didn’t need anything. We loved our stay and can’t wait to get back.

Excellent location

Excellent location. 5 minutes and your fishing. No issues getting in or out even at the lowest tides. So easy and quick to get in and out went on sunrise and sunset cruises several days. Saw manatees in the canal every day. Did a day trip to Key West and saw Key Deer on the ride. Took the kids to the Dolphin Research Center and the Turtle Rescue. Several great restaurants, grocery stores and bait and tackle shop no more than a 5 minute car ride away. The only issue I had was with the bait and tackle shop. I called before driving down to Marathon to make sure they had plenty of chum otherwise I would have brought a couple of cases with me from the Miami area, and they kind of chastised me saying "Of course we have plenty." like I was an idiot for asking. Well of course they ran out mid week. I was able to get more chum at Publix just not my normal brand.

Birthday Vacation

I booked this house as a surprise for my husband for his birthday and we were very pleased! The house was perfect! Clean! Had everything we needed. The parking is a little tight so definitely put your boat in the water before you arrive to the house. Having the hot tub this time of year was the perfect touch. Will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home

We had a wonderful time at turtle cove. The house had everything we needed. Loved having the pool, tanning deck and the hot tub. The neighbors are very friendly. We saw manatees in the canal 3 separate times which was amazing to see them! The house is close to everything.
