Relax and Enjoy Keys Style 3BR /3 B W/ Heated Pool and Canal



Bring your boat to this 3 bedroom / 3 bath recently updated home with 50 ft of deep water dockage and a custom HEATED swimming pool (small pool is not). House will comfortably sleep 8 with 1 king bed, 2 queens and two sleeper sofas. Each bedroom has it's own private attached bathroom. You will love waking up or relaxing on the water as the only thing that separates the house from the water is the dock. Master suite has been completely updated with new tile, finishes and standing tub. Boot Key harbor is only 3 houses down the canal. The home is very peaceful and has very private tropical spa like pool in the front with a beautiful flagstone wall. You will instantly feel on vacation as you sit by the pool, kayak or paddle board in the harbor, fish in the canal, go for a bike ride, or take the short 3.5 mile drive to Sombrero beach. We are also minutes from 7 mile bridge if you want to visit Bahia Honda park or take the short 45-50 minute drive to Key West. Sorry no RV parking. There are no bridges and no limits to open water based on low tide.

I only accept Saturday to Saturday stays - Thank you!

Please call or e-mail me if you have additional questions. (I usually respond within the hour). Please notice the water outside of the sliding glass doors in both the family room and the bedroom. You are literally right on the water! We catch jacks, mangrove snappers, chubs, barracudas and grunts off the dock for a quick lunch and the pelicans and herons always join you when you are cleaning fish on the concrete fish cleaning station. There is a fishing kayak, a ocean kayak, a 2 man ocean kayak, 3 paddle boards and 4 bicycles included with the rental. The heated spa like pool located in the front of the house is awesome with a bench running the length of it and a separate smaller pool that is great if you want to get away from the splashing kids. All new furniture, AC unit downstairs and appliances.

Saturday to Saturday rentals only from January - August. Please email me if you are looking for alternative dates in September through December.

Good stay, bad winds for fishing
Stayed with a group of older guys for fishing. David was very responsive to the few questions we had. Best of all, he delayed the cleaners coming in, so we could leave at our leisure on Saturday which was greatly appreciated. Dock had everything needed, fishing cleaning table; water, even a little float to launch provided kayaks. Kitchen had everything needed. Brand new grill outside. Beds were comfortable, plenty of seating in various places throughout the house. The only negative was 20+ winds all week. So we were forced to relax more, which was okay for some of us. Thanks David, hope to rent there again.

Marathon Get Away
The owner of this VRBO was very accommodating with booking our last minute vacation. We had A/C issues due to dirty filters, but he was very quick on getting a vendor out in an attempt to resolve the matter. Turns out there were deeper issues than just dirty filters. The property itself would be a very nice place to stay if the caretaker did that, took care of the property. There was a lot of shotty work done and cut corners on projects, leaving the overall experience much to be desired. Make sure you bring all paper products, as there isn't even one roll of toilet paper and/or paper towel available upon arrival. I feel for anyone who comes in late on their arrival and has to use the restroom ASAP. This place has a ton of potential, if just a little more time and effort was put into the care and maintenance of this vacation rental and if a little bit more comfort features were available to the guest.

Vacation Dream
Loved this house! Pictures compared to in person experience was very close in comparison. All 3 rooms were spacious and comfortable as well as bathrooms. We enjoyed all parts of the home, the pool was excellent in size and temperature, my kiddos even learned how to swim, barbecue area was very convenient, and dock was great for relaxing and seeing manatees pass by. We didn’t bring a boat but the dock was big, my husband fished everyday off the 7 mile bridge and used the cleaning station which was very convenient. We had an excellent time and wish we could have stayed longer! The host was readily available and answered all my questions while at the property and always helped me with my concerns.

Wonderful for our multigenerational family
The property is spacious and nicely decorated. The appliances and fixtures were top of the line. I wish I had those bathrooms at home and the refrigerator amazed everyone! The pool seemed to be in use all the time. We saw manatees from our dock daily. We caught a variety of fish from the dock, too. The only thing that was bad for our group was the height of the dock. My dad is 81 and couldn’t get down into the boat unless close to high tide. The ladder is not sturdy and the area is very tidal. This would not be a problem for most groups who travel though. We really loved the property. One other thing to note is that being located behind Boot Key makes it a no wake zone for 15+ minutes until you are in open water. Sombrero Beach is right at the end of the no wake if you go left and 7 Mile is right there if you go right. It is an awesome fishing location.

Marathon Key West, Florida.
The house was not very clean. Shower in bedrooms downstairs were sad. The spouts were falling off. Kitchen sink faucet was falling off. Couldn’t really use. I felt bad as I had reserved for a sibling vacation with spouses and everyone was very disappointed in the place. Fire alarm battery died and kept beeping so I replaced battery as it was very annoying. Landscape company came and trimmed palm trees while we’re there and my husband had a situation with some nasty talking from one of them. Was completely uncalled for. Electric went off we tried to cook breakfast one morning. We were using toaster, stove and oven. I guess too much for circuit breaker. Keep tripping them. So we had to reset twice. Will not use this owner again.

Our "Framily" (friends & family) had the absolute best vacation last week! The house and pool were very clean. The house was equipped with everything that we needed and more. The property is very convenient to many restaurants, beaches, shops, grocery stores, etc. We loved fishing off the dock, nightly pool time, and enjoyed the beaches and things to do nearby! I didn't know there were so many chickens in the FL Keys, but we loved them! David was wonderful to work with and quick to answer any questions we had! Would defiantly recommend!

Upon arrival we realized the house did not contain basic supplies needed to meet the requirements of checkout and quality of stay for the price. There was no toilet paper, trash bags, spray cleaner, (so we purchased all for our stay), and most of the remotes did not have batteries. There were 8 bath towels for 8 people. When I reached out to David he was quick to respond, and someone dropped off more towels the next day. Nothing else was addressed. We changed the air filter that was so caked with dust and dirt. Many of the curtains, and fixtures such as bath faucet and toilet paper holder were falling off the wall. One bath tub had half a glass door and the curtain had to be rigged to keep from leaking water out while showering. The front yard had multiple trash cans and an old toilet sitting for pickup. We placed the trashcans on the road line for pickup per instructions and the toilet was still there when we left. I do not feel new renters should be dealing with previous renters trash. The location and neighbors were nice and the house had nice amenities such as dock, and pool. Overall we had a pleasant experience but there is some work to be done as well as management issues for the price paid.

Nice Family Vacay
We had a wonderful family vacation with our kids. Marathon is our go to spot for vacation every year and this year we decided to rent a house that we’d never rented before. It was very clean and check in was very easy. The house itself is located very conveniently on the island to all amenities. We have children with a very big age gap and there was something to do for all of them. The only issues that we had with the property was there was no door to the master bedroom. The 2nd bedroom, located on the first floor, didn’t have a properly fitting door to the bedroom so there wasn’t any privacy. Which, I didn’t even think to ask, but that’s my mistake. Otherwise, the pool is great for the kids and it was a breeze to access the ocean with our boat. The house was fully stocked with kitchenware and all appliances. I would recommend bringing a playpen if you have little ones. We had a great time and really enjoyed our week. There was room for everyone and different spots outside, if you needed a break. The neighborhood is very quiet with a police station and ER a couple of streets away. Everyone in Marathon is very friendly and helpful. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. We visit yearly to catch up with our adult kids and just have everyone together before school starts up again.

Very nice house. But a problem for large boats
The house is very nice and very comfortable. However there's a large hidden sandbar in the harbor just outside the canal that you have to turn into to get to the house. It is virtually unmarked and locals say boaters commonly run aground there. We ran aground and got stuck and incurred $2,000 in damage to our boat.

Great Time in Marathon
This is our second time staying at this property in the last five years. We enjoyed it both times. However, I could tell this time around, five years after our first time, that the property needs a bit sprucing up. Nothing major just maybe some paint touchups, new or reupholstered barstools in the kitchen and some new outdoor furniture. But it’s definitely a very nice property and we had a great time.

This property is truly paradise, very clean, updated and spacious, easy check-in, the pool was a hit every evening. The beds were comfortable, each bedroom had its own bathroom. We used the kayaks as much as possible. We saw a manatee off the deck, which was delightful!! We did lots of tourist things and ate at all the surrounding restaurants, never a dull moment or lack of things to do nearby. We would rent here again and again! Thoroughly enjoyed!!

Great time with friends!
Our host Dave was excellent! He was easy to communicate with right from the beginning of the booking process! We had a few snags and Dave responded immediately and he even sent the property manager over to check a few things out & fix a couple of issues. We were pleased w her quick response. Our host was also willing to please. He did his best to rectify some of our concerns. We loved the location it was right on the water. We always felt safe. We saw Pelicans, Iguanas and Manatee’s. We rented a boat and was able to dock it right at the house. We also used the kayaks and tried our hand at fishing and crabbing. The house was very nice. The entire main level has all been refurbished and is very attractive and comfortable. there was plenty of room to spread out in. The upstairs bedroom and bath are fine but in need of updating. We were told that was on the agenda. All the beds were very comfortable and we slept good! A few things needed attention but nothing major. Dave got a list of concerns which we know he’ll address or has addressed already. The swimming pool was super warm & clean and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We wanted to go bicycling but the bikes were all rusty. We texted Dave and he bought 4 brand new bikes that were delivered while we were there. We never got to use them but they will be nice for future renters. He also got new pots and pans, wine glasses and a variety of towels. All very nice!! We hope to go again! Thanks Dave

A Nice Place
We stayed for 3 weeks with family and friends. The boat slip was plenty large enough for our 23' fishing boat (rented from Coco's) and parking out front was good for two vehicles. The house was a little dirty when we came in, but we checked in on the Cuban New Year, so it may have been a one-off. We called to request hand towels and washcloths, because we didn't have any in the house and the cleaning service was back within an hour to drop them off. The view of the channel was nice and there was a manatee there nearly every day. The area wasn't loud or rambunctious, we were able to relax in the evenings on the outdoor couch and see lots of stars. We saw Sergent Majors and Barricuda right from the dock. The lights under the dock weren't working. The cleaning lady said that they were knocked out by the recent storm. The pool was very warm, and we enjoyed it most days. We were even able to practice our skills for scuba certification in it, before heading out to the reef to complete those. Overall, it was a nice place to stay. The property owner was extremely responsive to our needs and helped us through a few things. Would recommend for a larger group of people staying together.
