All the rooms are extra spacious and provide a restful retreat after your busy day. Just imagine waking up making coffee in your own room and sitting outside your deck to the beautiful Gulf Waters, a dream come true. It's Paradise . Slip away into breathtaking views, gulf breezes and access to swimming right off our deck and dock. Explore our crystal clear waters.

There are several other snorkeling diving sites in Marathon. Marathon has two beaches. Sombrero beach which is beautiful during the winter months.

In addition, there is a great community park with tennis courts, basketball/hockey courts, skateboarding, soccer fields. baseball fields, shuffleboard courts, boccie ball, picnic areas etc. Marathon is also full of great restaurants and bars, a movie theater and a live theater with performances throughout the year.

Amazing ocean wildlife

This property was perfect for our family. Some stayed in the pool the whole time while others fished off of the dock. We caught such a variety of fish that we had to google what they were. From the dock we saw manatees swim by, saw rays and even had some dolphins put on a show! Centrally located and it was perfect for multiple ages. This was our favorite place to stay in the keys so far!!

Amazing

We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time. Everything was perfect and the hosts were very responsive when we had a question. The home, screened porch and tiki hut were very comfortable and we spent many hours out there enjoying the pool and the gulf view. We highly recommend this property and hope to return.

Best week!!!

Best trip we had with adult cousins!!! We all needed to get away and had the best time and weather. Saw a manatee with her baby, dolphins, hammerhead shark, Pelligans, comerants and had a tarpon come every night in the light by the dock. Loved being out on the dock morning and night. Hope to come back in a couple years!!!

Phenomenal!

Sunsets on the Gulf is absolutely amazing! The house is very spacious with all modern amenities, yet cozy & beautifully decorated--the 6 adults in our group had all the privacy we wanted as well as great spaces to congregate, both inside & out--super clean & very well-equipped. Words pale to adequately describe the breathtaking views of the sunsets & the gulf--endless sky & water! An expertly landscaped & stunning waterfront! property! Incredibly beautiful pool & large hot tub, both very well-maintained! The pier, simply spectacular--we fished (a lot!), kayaked, star-gazed, watched varieties of water birds, dolphin, manatee, sand shark, loggerhead turtle & shiny "dancing" tarpon in the night lights! Also great for boat docking, but we were just too busy enjoying the property this time! The Tiki Hut was our daily go-to--night & day, perfect for grilling, outside dining or just relaxing in the shade! Beautiful, quiet neighborhood; convenient to great shopping, restaurants & other sight-seeing (if you really want to go out, but not likely, hah!). Maria is an excellent, very responsive host & made everything so easy (thanks!)! Though tempted to keep it our own little secret for return trips, it wouldn't be fair not to share what a little piece of heaven SOTG truly is for others to enjoy as well:0)

Sunsets on the Gulf

We've stayed here 3 years in a row! The house is EXACTLY as it appears in the listing. Perfect for couples. The outside is where this home really shines. We spend most of our time in Marathon outback enjoying the pool, the tiki hut and the gorgeous view. We spend late nights fishing off the dock. Maria, the host, is VERY responsive to any request or problem. We will be back!

The Best.

Our favorite place to stay, anywhere. We've been staying here for years and continue to find new things to explore in the area. The dock is perfect for our boat and the kids love fishing and snorkeling around it. The home is stocked with everything you'd need and Maria is extremely attentive to your needs. Please don't stay here, its hard enough already to find an open week :) Can't recommend enough. The Best.

Amazing place in an amazing location

This was a family trip with my sister and her husband and kids, my parents, and my husband, myself and our kids. Even with 10 of us in the house, we never felt crowded. The space was perfect for our family! I was lucky enough to stay in the periwinkle room which was like its own little escape. From the moment you step in the backyard, you feel like you are on a tropical vacation! We spent so much time relaxing by the pool, fishing off the dock and enjoying the shady area when we needed a break from the sun. The house is extremely well stocked, so if you are looking to cook, snorkel or need a raft for by the pool every is right there for you. We were close to everything we wanted to do including a day trip to Key West and two trips up to Islamorada to shop and eat. I have rented houses in the Keys a few times now over the years and this one is definitely a favorite! Maria was so easy to work with and obviously cares about her guests comfort and enjoyment. I hope to get back there soon!

Spring Break 2024

We had a great time at the house. We could have stayed at the house the entire week without exploring the rest of Marathon. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The sunsets from the dock were amazing. The screened in porch is a great place to read and have a drink while the kids swim. Every single bedroom has its own bathroom and gives everyone their privacy and space. There is plenty of snorkeling equipment along with beach chairs. Don’t forget to go kayaking either. It was a great week and we hope to go back.

Beautiful property

Our party consisted of 6 adults in our 60’s. Everything you could possibly needed is provided. All of the kitchen cabinets were labeled so we could easily find what we needed. The best part of this home was the backyard. The pool and tiki hut were fabulous! Also, sitting on the dock watching marine life swim under and below us was incredible! We saw manatees, nurse sharks, sting rays and a barracuda right off the dock! The host was very responsive to any questions/needs we had. We would definitely come back.
