When to visit Marathon

Winter and spring are the high season overall, and rates ease to their lowest in November, at the height of hurricane season. A nice stretch to visit is March through May, when the days are warm and dry and the water climbs from the mid-70s to the low 80s.

Where to stay in Marathon

Marathon anchors the Middle Keys, strung along US-1 by mile marker (MM), so "where to stay" comes down to how far north or south you are and whether you want a canal home with a dock or an oceanfront condo. The areas below all sit within a few minutes of central Marathon at MM 50.

Know before you book

Fly into Key West or Miami.

Key West International (EYW) is the closest, about 48 miles and an hour down US-1. Miami (MIA) is the bigger gateway at about 2.5 hours, with Fort Lauderdale (FLL) a little farther as the budget alternate.

You’ll need a car to explore the US-1.

Marathon is strung along 13 miles of US-1, so a car is effectively required. Two commuter buses run the highway: the 301 Dade-Monroe Express north to Florida City and the Lower Keys Shuttle south to Key West, each just a few dollars a ride. Both are built for commuters.

Plan on a week, not a weekend.

In Marathon's residential areas, licensed vacation rentals run 7 to 28 nights, and stays under a week are generally prohibited. The exact minimum still varies by property, zoning, and HOA, and oceanfront condo associations add their own age and parking-decal rules.

Fall is the quietest and cheapest.

You'll find the best rates between the summer travel season and winter, when snowbirds arrive. However, you run the rusk of storms during these months. The other season to time is sargassum, the harmless drift seaweed that washes onto Marathon's Atlantic-facing beaches from about May through August.


Marathon vacation rental FAQs

Straight answers to what people ask us most.

How much does a Marathon vacation rental cost?

+
A Marathon vacation rental runs a median of $457/night. A week comes to about $3,094 and a month to about $11,610. Waterfront homes with a private dock and oceanfront condos are the priciest stays. Homes set back from the water bring the median down.

What is the cheapest month to visit Marathon?

+
November is the cheapest month to visit Marathon, at the bottom of the year's price range. It's also the statistical peak of hurricane season. For warm water and lower rates without the highest storm risk, look at the shoulder weeks in late spring or October and November.

Is Key Colony Beach part of Marathon?

+
No. Key Colony Beach, which you can reach from Marathon over the Sadowski Causeway near MM 53.5, is a separately incorporated city, established in 1957, with its own city hall, police, and par-3 golf course. It's condo-heavy and golf-cart-friendly, and its rentals are listed on their own Key Colony Beach page, separate from Marathon's.

Does Marathon have a swimming beach?

+
Yes, though it really has just one: Sombrero Beach, a free city park on the Atlantic side south of MM 50, with sand, showers, and a playground. Coco Plum adds a quieter man-made beach. Most of the rest of Marathon's shoreline is seawall, rock, or canal, so a "waterfront" rental here usually means a dock, not sand.

Are Marathon rentals pet-friendly?

+
Many Marathon vacation rentals accept pets, though the deposit, size limit, and any breed rules are set by each owner, so confirm them on the listing before you book. Coco Plum Beach welcomes leashed dogs.

Is Marathon a good place to visit with kids?

+
Marathon, FL, is a great place to visit with kids. The Turtle Hospital's tour lets kids meet rescued sea turtles, the Dolphin Research Center at MM 59 on Grassy Key has dolphins visible right from the boardwalk, and Sombrero Beach has calm sand, showers, and a playground. Crane Point adds easy hammock trails and a small nature museum.
