Fabulous vacation home in Marathon! Check in was easy, the host was extremely responsive, house was clean with a well stocked kitchen. A short walk to the beach with a clean pool and a great dock for fishing (even has a green light). We would stay here again!
Very nice house and big enough for the two families to stay. Close to Sombrero Beach. Location was perfect. A few minor issues were handled quickly by Julie. I appreciate her responsiveness.
Beautiful Home in Walking Distance to Sombrero Beach!
Our group was five couples and we each had our own room and bathroom. The kitchen, dining and living area, the large porch on the second floor, and the pool accommodated us well. The beach was a 9-10 minute walk.
Location was great - short walk to beach close to Publix and activities especially when it was rainy and only in the 60s. Plenty of room for 7 to stay with a spare bedroom. Wished the 1st floor bedroom had a regular door instead of a louver door - we could hear voices of those who stayed up later.
Everything about our stay was AMAZING! Julie was incredible from the initial booking to checking out. She was very helpful and informative of local happenings for July 4th.
We have stayed in many houses in Marathon and this by far was the best! The location was perfect! We could walk to the beach, fish off the dock and meander through the waterways to get to the ocean and gulf!
My only complaint is we should have stayed longer!
This was the perfect property for our big family of adults. Everyone had space and room to get away as well as plenty of gathering areas. Easy walk to the beach, dock space for jumping on kayaks and the green underwater light allows for some really cool evening fish viewing. The house itself is very clean, well appointed and decorated nicely - appliances work well and plenty of servingware for a group - the elevator was a fun lifesaver when it came to getting bags and groceries upstairs- owner was very responsive to all of our questions - highly recommend!
For a family vacation with 7 adults and 2 children, this property was perfect. We had plenty of room for everyone. The home is beautifully decorated, was well stocked, and very clean. With the heat, the pool was a welcome break. The kids enjoyed the kayaks. This home is close to the beach, shopping, grocery stores, and plenty of restaurants. What a memorable vacation.
clean beautiful home everything we needed was provided
tucked away with lagoon to kayak,great for adults & teens
julie was very friendly and helpful with any question
This was such a lovely home to visit. The three floors with 5 spacious bedrooms gave everyone their own space, and there was plenty of spots to gather for meals and pool time. The view of the canal at sunset was beautiful. The location was great; the market is down the road, you can walk or bike to the beach, and there are many excellent restaurants just a couple of miles away. Our hostess was gracious and always available. My elderly father used the elevator and enjoyed the suite on the first floor. It was clean and beautifully decorated. I would stay here again.,
We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Slam! The location was amazing- we were able to walk to the beach daily. The elevator was super helpful for groceries and luggage! We loved the view from the decks and the pool (we paid extra to have the pool heated which was well worth it!) We were a very short drive from Publix, Winn Dixie, and the giant surf store (definitely a must-see). Sombrero Beach was lovely! We only had 6 people staying at Grand Slam, but we were part of a group of 26 and everyone else’s houses were within a 2 minute walk from Grand Slam so it was very accessible! We didn’t use the kitchen much (we mostly cooked at the other houses) but it was beautiful and well-stocked! We would definitely stay here again and I highly reccomend this house! The host, Julie, was very easy to communicate with- and very helpful with answering all my questions quickly! :)
This was our third time staying on Sombrero Beach Road and the best experience yet. The last two times we stayed at a VRBO managed by a company. This house, managed by Julie, was much cleaner and better stocked with amenities. The location was great! And although we didn’t have any issues that needed immediate attention, I had Julie’s cell phone number so I could have contacted her directly if we needed anything. Overall great experience and hope to come back again soon!
This was the MOST communicative & responsive hosts, the most beautiful & best-stocked rental home we’ve ever stayed in! 6 adults & 4 teenage boys who lived on the dock the whole time! Location was perfection! Made for a glorious lobster mini season. Gorgeous kitchen with anything you could ever need. Beautiful views. Plenty of space. Chilled pool was amazing after long boat day. Gorgeous sunset views. Just can’t say enough about it all. We hope to be back soon!
We loved our time in Marathon at Julie and Scott's place. The location is ideal - near Sombrero Beach - and Marathon is my favorite place to stay in the Keys because of it's central location. It's a short walk to Sombero beach from the property and the dock off the back of the property provided an opportunity for a pontoon rental and a chance to see (literally) over a dozen manatees - including babies. The home worked perfectly for my family (2 adults, 2 kids) and my BIL's family (2 adults, 2 kids) - there was more than enough room for us all to stay comfortably. The pool was a perfect place to cool off after a hot day at the beach or walking around Key West (only about an hour drive). I would rent here again in a heartbeat (and we've already talked about coming back).
Quick note: We had some concerns with TS Debby approaching at the same time as our arrival and Julie was fantastic with communication and help. Also, we had a few small technical issues at the house during our stay which were swiftly addressed - and I mean swiftly - handyman/tech came out the next day and the issue was fixed.
Just a great all-around experience! Thank you Julie & Scott!
This place was perfect for our family group of ten ! Plenty of room, beautiful accommodations, yet comfortable. The pool is small but the kids enjoyed having one. The location was easy access to restaurants, boating services, grocery store, and places to visit, such as the Turtle Hospital, Dolphin Research Center, 7 Mile Bridge, etc. At night the light under the water made it possible to watch the fish swim by the dock. We were very pleased with our stay!
You won't regret staying in this home. It was fabulous! The Villa was beautiful - clean and fully stocked with everything you need. Bonus: We caught tarpon off the dock and had manatees visit us every day - all week. The owner couldn't have been more delightful. She was accommodating, helpful and kind. Do yourself a favor a book this one! Deb Crisp - St. Petersburg.
Great VRBO experience. House was clean and well stocked. Pool and dock were perfect for what we needed. Loved the location near to sombrero beach and short ride to the mouth of sisters creek. Will be a go to house for us in future trips to keys.
This vacation rental was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect place for our family to spend Christmas in Marathon, Florida. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had great amenities that made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. Everything we needed was provided, which made relaxing and spending quality time together effortless.The host was wonderful—very responsive and thoughtful—and offered great local suggestions that truly enhanced our experience, from places to eat to things to do in the area. This home exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for the beautiful holiday memories we made here. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic, family-friendly vacation spot.
The house was amazing! Short walk to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked compared to most places we’ve stayed. Getting the kayaks and paddleboards in and out at the dock was interesting but made for funny stories and pictures. Loved having our own pool. Would absolutely stay here again!
Our family of 8 had such an amazing time here! The property was beautiful and clean, so close to the beach and shops too. The communication with our hosts was wonderful and very responsive. We had no problems what so ever on this trip and we will absolutely be back! Thanks Scott and Julie!
