Best Vacation

We spent 2 weeks at Harbor Hideaway and had the best vacation. The property grounds, Tiki hut, pool & views are incredible. The house was perfect and immaculately clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking and dishware needed, which for us is very important as we like to cook in a lot. Larry was always available and helpfull. He responded to any emails I sent within minutes. We have been using VRBO for years and this is one of the best house we have ever rented.

Florida Keys Paradise

The Harbor Hideaway was absolutely Stellar! Everything about the home was perfect, from the beautiful decor, artwork throughout, and pool overlooking the canal way. The location was right in the middle of the keys, overlooking the water making traveling around the area easy. We can’t wait to go back

WOW!!!!!

This house is absolutely stunning! The pictures do not do it justice. Everything was so clean. The house has everything you could possibly want or need. Larry and Eileen did not miss a thing! The beds are super comfy! We took our 28’ boat and parked it out back in the canal. We will never stay anywhere else after this experience!!!! WOW is an understatement!!!!!

Fantastic home

We had a great visit at this beautiful property. Everything has been thought through, from design to decor to supplies. The ice maker is AMAZING and kept us as cool as could be in the middle of summer. We saw a manatee mom and baby off the dock and swam in the pool every day. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and relaxing

We throughly enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful home and very well appointed. The kitchen is fully stocked for any type of cooking you wish to do. The tiki bar and pool area are amazing. We spent a great deal of time swimming and enjoying the patio area. The evening breeze was also great. Our hosts were very nice and extremely helpful. While there we saw manatees, eagle Spottted ray, jellyfish and a nurse shark-all from the dock. We kayaked and also rented their boat. Truly a wonderful experience and hope to come back again. Our little miss Kali also enjoyed being there. Thank you for such a wonderful home.

Outstanding vacation property in Marathon

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay in Marathon just to get away from work and have a quiet week together. This place checked all the boxes for us – very clean, well maintained, exceptionally well outfitted from the kitchen all the way down to outside toys – bikes, fishing rods, etc. The pool and tiki bar area were fantastic, and we spent a good deal of our time lounging outside and enjoying them. This place did not disappoint and we will be returning in the very near future.

Fun with Family & Friends

We had a wonderful stay. The home is beautiful and has a great layout for one family or more than one family. You can stay at home and enjoy the pool and outdoor space or the location is near many activities and restaurants. The Ubinas family has literally thought of everything, and communication with Larry and John has been great. We highly recommend staying at this beautiful home!

Amazing Home, Amazing Location

The house was perfect for our family vacation. The location was close to everything. Our kids never left the pool. Fishing right off the dock! Manatees, fish, Morey eels and nurse sharks visible from the dock. We took the kayaks out into the mangroves. 10/10! Will definitely be staying again.

Hands down, Fantastic place!

Fantastic Place! I can't say enough great things about our stay. Communication was on point from booking all the way til check out. The house has all the amentities you can ask for. Everything from the cleanliness of the property to high quality linens it was nothing less than perfection. The layout of the house is very open and roomy and in the kitchen you can't ask for more. Nice to stay at a house with a lot of starter items for the kitchen, laundry, and baths. Lots of towels, blankets, games, trash cans, and even cleaning products! The pool was clean, warm, and a great size. Kayaks were great quality and easy to get in and out of the water. The tiki bar was a great spot to make a drink or get a little shade. We can't wait to come back!!

Beautiful Home & Amenities

The pictures look unbelievable but they don't do this home justice. It is a stunner. We've stayed in Key Largo, Islamorada and Marathon multiple times but this home was the best of them all by a long shot. Larry is kind, a great communicator and very helpful. We will be back to this home over and over!!

Another wonderful week in the keys

Larry and Eileen’s property Harbor Hideway was absolutely perfect. They have every amenity you could ask for right down to the bottle of champagne in the refrigerator when you arrive. The property is immaculate and very comfortable. Of all the properties we have stayed in over the years theirs is truly one of the best. They were wonderful hosts and provided plenty of recommendations for places to eat. We also like to cook a lot and the kitchen had everything you could want including a rice cooker and pressure cooker. The one issue we had while staying at the property ( and it wasn’t really an issue for us). Is the pool heater had problems because of a pipe leak but Larry took care of it the same day and we didn’t miss a minute in the pool. I can’t wait to book our stay again next year!

Best VRBO rental

I have stayed in many rental houses throughout The Keys and this house was without a doubt the best VRBO we have ever stayed in! The house was absolutely beautiful, better than the pictures! The host had the house fully stocked with anything we needed from pots/pans to spare toothbrushes. If you have a boat this is the perfect location! The host was so helpful and checked in while we were there to see if there was anything we needed. I HIGHLY recommend this house and we will definitely be staying here next time we visit Marathon!

Great Place to Vacation

We had an amazing time. Very relaxing and private with everything you need. Only an hour from Key West if you want to experience that. If not, Marathon has great restaurants throughout. Property was awesome. Owner was great to work with when something was needed or a question needed to be answered. We will be back.

Perfect house

Our family of 5, with two kids under 7, were thrilled to spend a week in Larry and Eileen’s beautiful home. The house is clean and very well-stocked with everything you’d need. The pool was so fun, and provided hours of entertainment. We saw lots of fish and even a manatee stopped by… right there in the canal off the dock! The location is top notch, and within walking distance to restaurants and the grocery store. The owners were awesome with check-ins. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Definitely Want to Return!

This property exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way. Super clean, great location if you like lots of options for activities, private sanctuary by the pool, all the comforts of home. Larry was incredibly easy and great to rent from. Another property we thought about renting used a big agency and we have found it’s so much better to work with homeowners. Larry proved this to be true again! Thank you for a great vacation home!

Magical Thanksgiving week

This is our 3rd year staying in the Keys for Thanksgiving. We have absolutely loved everything this home had to offer. Top notch details, down to the beautiful art work. Our kids took full advantage of the pool, everyday. We were able to rent a boat for the week and keep at the dock. Ten out of ten recommended this property. Lawrence and Eileen were fantastic and made sure we had everything we need. From the bottom of our hearts Thank you so much!!

Perfect in Paradise!

We have been traveling to The Keys for the last 30 years. This home was by FAR the best home EVER. We booked this home for the dock space as it can easily accommodate our 2 boats. But, what we didn't expect is how wonderful everything else was. Actually the property is better than the pictures. Everything was first class from the magnificent pool, tiki hut, luxurious towels down to the kitchen utensils. Honestly, nothing was missing. Larry was on top of everything and always available. Eileen was the icing on the cake. Didn't want to leave this home and can't WAIT to go back!
