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.

Based on the median Marathon nightly rate on FloridaRentals.com.
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.





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.
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.
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.
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.
