The house was just like listed! We paid to heat the pool & it was well worth it & so warm with the cooler weather we experienced while there. Host communicated well, answering all of our questions & giving us all the information we needed for our stay. Perfect location, less than 1/2 a mile walk to sombrero beach. House was easy to find & had plenty of room for 3 couples!

Great Stay, Again.

We’ve stayed at Tingler several times and it never disappoints. It was nice to see and use the new tiki hut on the back deck. Great place to stay for a week, if we’re back in the area we’ll definitely stay here again.

Great Stay

We have stayed at many Marathon VRBO's in the past and this place is at the top of the heap. Great location, great pool area. Kitchen well stocked with quality utensils. No steps to climb was a plus. Even caught a tarpon off the dock one day. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay!

Amazing Vacation Stay!!!

Lovely home. The pool area is amazing. We even had a mama and baby manatee visit us. Plenty of sun and shade (huge tiki hut with shaded seating) The house was loaded with plenty of amenities. Kitchen, baths, and laundry room were all stocked. Beds were super comfortable as was the living room and kitchen seating. We were a group of three couples. We each had a private full bath.

Perfection

Everything about this property was absolutely amazing!! The setting and location were perfect. We rode the bikes to breakfast almost every morning. We kayaked from the house. We enjoyed the pool daily. Sombrero Beach I just around the corner. Meredith went above and beyond to answer questions and fix minor issues that came up. She responded immediately and was very easy to talk to. We are already booking with her again!! Highly recommended!!!

Just as promised!

Went as a group of 3 couples and the house layout was really ideal, with each couple having their own bathroom. House had all amenities as promised. Super clean with amazing outdoor space! The TV under the tiki hut was perfect for the men, while us women soaked up the sun around the pool. Perfect amount of sun or shade, whichever preferred. We ate outdoors all the time. Double kayak was tons of fun. Loved the bikes too!!! Meredith was promptly responsive for any of our questions. Idea location as well! Walked or rode bikes to the beach daily. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Meredith and Pineapple Properties!

Great Stay in Marathon

Marathon was a fantastic destination for our family of 4 with so much activity within reach. The Tingler retreat was a fantastic place to stay, and we had more privacy than expected on the canal! The accomodations were very comfortable, and the house was great. We really enjoyed the outdoor living spaces. Everything was as expected from the photos in the add, with the exception the bikes older and rusty, as well as all the fishing poles broken. We bought fishing poles anyway, so these wouldn't stop me from renting again. We kayaked and walked to the public beach - Sombrero, which was fantastic for sunset viewing and swimming. There is access to miles of sidewalks for running and biking. We caught a few fish in the canal as well.

Paradise found

Tingler retreat has it all! My family loved every minute of relaxing in this well appointed house. The backyard area was our favorite hang out spot. We spent a lot of time in the pool and chilling under the tiki hut… complete with outdoor TV. Early morning walks to Sombrero beach everyday. Bikes, kayaks, floats, fishing gear, coolers, stand up paddle boards, outdoor games, outdoor grilling… This ranch style house was perfect for all our needs. Stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent and the list goes on. I always bring my own but this property had everything you could possibly think of!

Had an incredible week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Tingler Retreat. It is well supplied with dishes and cookware, clean linens, pool toys, beach chairs, bikes and kayaks. The back yard is it’s own retreat and very relaxing. Enjoyed sunsets on the beach a short walk away and visiting Key West for a day. Our family all agreed we could stay here again - we had a great time!! Communication leading up to our stay and during was quick and appreciated.
