Perfect getaway from winter

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO in Marathon Shores! The condo was incredibly well-stocked—just like home—with everything we could possibly need. From the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy living space, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The location was perfect, and the host was absolutely wonderful—responsive, friendly, and truly made us feel welcome. One of the highlights was relaxing on the deck and balcony, watching the breathtaking sunsets over the water. It was the perfect way to end each day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again!

We loved the location, sunsets, and how all the details were thought of. Coffee filters, garbage bags, beach items, towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash. All those little things made it easy to unwind and enjoy our stay. The pool is perfect size and was used daily. We loved it!

Perfection in the Keys

Beautiful, private complex in the heart of Marathon. Marlin House 52 is updated, well-furnished and appointed. Lots of amenities that made our stay extra comfortable and enjoyable. Owners thought of every personal touch including a welcome bag for our arrival. The resort-style pool and grounds are well-maintained. Close access to restaurants, activities, shops. Owners are exceptionally friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Age ranges in my family from 17 to 86. Place is set up with all the amenities you would need including a boat slip and great pool. Very quiet location with very short ride to good restaurants, water activities, and surprisingly nice beach. short trip south to Key West and short trip north to Islamorada. 5 stars across the board.

The little things

John and Wendy were so welcoming, accommodating and engaged in ensuring we were comfortable and happy while we stayed in their Indigo Reef oasis. The unit was well maintained and had so many little touches that allowed you to feel like you were in your own home - and yet subtly guide you to find the things you were looking for without being painfully obvious that you were in a rental. We’ve stayed in a number of units at Indigo Reef, this was by far the most well decorated and cozy thus far.

We've stayed up and down the Keys and this is our new favorite place! If you're bringing your boat, it's extremely convenient docking and the slip is directly in front of the house. House was very well appointed and stocked with essentials...so much so, I didn't need most of the supplies I packed! Condo was clean and very comfortable. You can tell owners take pride in their unit.

Beautiful Property - Great Host!

Indigo Reef is a gorgeous community well hidden amongst a very bland commercial area right off the highway in Marathon. We were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in such charming and lush surroundings as we drove into the resort, and our unit did not disappoint. The incredible views to the water and sunset aside, Marlin House was well stocked, clean, and beyond comfortable for myself and my bestie for our girls' getaway in the Keys. John was super responsive with the couple of issues we did encounter, but went above and beyond to make it right, and we had a fantastic trip. Having a boat-slip right across the lawn from the unit was super convenient and we loved renting a boat for a couple days to explore the surrounding waters. I would highly recommend Marlin House and Indigo Reef for families with kids, girlfriend trips, couples, and boaters alike!

Marathon Gem

Indigo Reef is a secluded, beautifully maintained, gulf front townhouse property that is situated back from the Overseas Highway. The Marlin House (#52) was great for so many reasons. First, it has some of the best views of the Gulf and the amazing sunsets., the house is very comfortable from the beds to the LR and porch furniture, which was important to us as we stayed here for 6 weeks. The pool is one of the largest in the keys and very well maintained. A huge plus for us is the property is pet friendly, and our dog Maya had a great time playing with all the other dogs on the grassy lawn. We aren’t boaters, but if you have a boat this property would be that more awesome than it is as each townhouse comes with a boat slip. John and Wendy (owners) were also easy to work with and addressed our questions quickly. Marathon itself is a busy Key, especially in February, but you’ll find the The Marlin House is a secluded gem.
