The house was gorgeous and Meredith was checking in on our satisfaction throughout. Such as great place for a family group vacation (9 adults). Pictures are spot on, and yes, the water is that clear.We'll stay here again when back in Marathon. Location is great for day trips to Key West and Islamorada, and any other small key along the way!
We had a fantastic stay at Pineapple Tides! The location and amenities were outstanding. Meredith was great to work with and extremely accessible. One thing I think future guests should know is that because of the location of the property on Vaca Cut, the current behind the house is very strong at certain times and can make docking a boat difficult . We loved our time here and would definitely come back!
We had an amazing stay at this property! Our group of 11 fit comfortably, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The home was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a stress-free vacation.The location was fantastic—set in a gorgeous tropical setting that truly felt like paradise. We loved exploring the area, and there was so much to see and do nearby. Whether lounging at the property or heading out for adventures, every moment was wonderful.Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a perfect group getaway. We’d love to return!

What a great location.
This house has everything for your vacation. Owners have this supplied so that all you need is to bring your clothes. Beautifully decorated. The pool is awesome while viewing the boats and currents at Vaca Cut. We had an excellent stay and will come down again at some point. 5 stars.

Amazing property
We had a great experience here. The property was immaculate. Everything was very well kept. The house was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the boats pass. Very easy to access the dock for some fishing. The pool was a great size. Location was great. We were able to see plenty of fish and lobsters in the waterfall near the property. Only a few short minutes away from grocery stores and attractions in Marathon. We love to cook as a family and found that the kitchen was well stocked with pots and other kitchen appliances as well as plates, bowls, and other utensils. Overall, our entire travel party thoroughly enjoyed staying here.
We were extremely happy. The place was gorgeous, bedrooms good size and the pool was great. Definitely pay extra to have it heated.Great family vacation!
Our rental was everything we hoped it would be. Great location and had everything we needed for our stay. The property manager was super responsive too!
The house is great! Exactly as it looks in pictures. Our family had a nice week long stay. The host was very easy to work with - very clear communication and easy check in. We don’t have any issues. My only comment about the house is that it is very vertical (lots of interior stairs), so anyone with mobility issues or small kids should be aware.

Great house and great rental agency!
Pineapple Properties is the best rental company we have worked with by far. They communicate clearly and they are responsive before and during the booking. The house was in great condition and was very clean. The condition reflected the pictures provided in the listing. The houses are close to each other but the landscaping keeps each home feeling private whether using the interior or exterior spaces. We enjoyed watching the almost constant boat traffic moving back and forth through the cut. The dedicated pier space made boating very accessible, even for just an evening cruise. The current in the cut can be strong and docking requires some previous boating experience, but is was similar to other locations we have docked. The house is roomy and well stocked with towels, linens, games and kitchenware. All appliances worked. We decided to buy a box fan to keep the morning mosquitoes at bay and asked if we could leave it at the house. Pineapple replied that they would send someone out to purchase one for us. We ended up finding one in the downstairs closet. (The mosquitoes were only bad in the early morning and late evening. The fan and mosquito coil pretty well kept them away during those times.) Marathon has most amenities in town for vacationing and diving. We saw a hammerhead shark, moray eels, a goliath grouper, a stingray, two sea turtles and lots of fish and lobsters while diving and snorkeling. It is a little over an hour drive to Key West and worth the trip. We would certainly consider renting this house or another house from Pineapple in the future.
