Knight's Key Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Greatcsunset views. Grestbroom for the rate"

Dragonfly Lite – A tropical oasis with your own heated saltwater pool to enjoy!

10/10 Excellent

"The BEST vacation home in Marathon for a small family!! My family of four (including two boys, 3 and 6) just ended our stay at Dragonfly Lite and are already dreaming of going back. The property is clean, comfortable and a perfect base for exploring Marathon and the surrounding Keys. The beds are super comfortable for sleeping and the AC keeps the house nice and cool for a break after you’ve been in the sun all day. Outdoor shower was just as awesome as we remembered! Kitchen and grill area are perfect for cooking any meals! We had a great suggestion from Jerry this trip to try Kings Seafood Market and cooked a few amazing dinners of shrimp and fish. You can walk to a few great restaurants, Porky’s was our favorite this trip! We also walked to Lazy Days South for dessert at sunset and to the 7 mile bridge for sunset one evening. (Beware of the bugs with this walk but the views are a must see whether you walk or drive.) Our other must do’s from this trip were Bahia Honda Sandspur Beach (just over the 7 mile bridge from the house) and the Butterfly Conservatory (Key West.) We spent the majority of our mornings exploring Marathon (beach, snorkeling, jet skis, aquarium, shopping) then swimming in the pool mid day, and enjoying fresh seafood dinner early evening before watching the sunset. If this sounds like your dream vacation, you have found the place! Thank you so much to Jerry and Lynn for creating this perfect piece of paradise and sharing it. We will absolutely be back!!"

W15 - 3 bed, 2 bath Caribbean Bungalow with Dockage

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for a one week fishing, boat launch not far on north side and short ride thru 7 mile with east navigation to canal and dock at house. Hose on side of house for easy end of day cleanup"

Bob's Harbor View is a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat nestled near the picturesque Seven Mile Bridge.

10/10 Excellent

"Clean house, fast response."

Sea Forever Sunsets On the Ocean all year round 4 bed 3 bath, dock and pool

10/10 Excellent

"If you are here for the fishing, this has got to be one of the best houses in Marathon. Sharks, Tarpon, Grouper, Snapper, Barracuda, cast netted bait all right off the dock. Boat access to the Ocean and Bayside all instant without a no wake zone in sight.The house is a little tired, but works well, room with bait freezer and tackle storage, view from the balcony and main bedroom is beyond stunning. Lots to watch all the time. The pool is great and the kitchen/living room shares the great view and has loads of space. Dolphin pilings have seen better days and can make getting on and off the boat a bit sketchy, but they work well and are needed due to the location. The channel in front of the dock is in fact 30 feet in places, the deepest water for miles, including the bridges!Other than the main bedroom, the others don't have a view to speak of and all share a single bathroom (you need to exit the house and go downstairs to use the 3rd bathroom) and the outdoor space, although functional, is mostly just rubble, the tiki hut is a nice addition.If looking to book this house, take some time to check the status the new build to right, which is half finished and the old Hawks Nest to the left that has just been demolished. If construction was going on when you are there it would be VERY invasive.If you are not keen on fishing and want something with immaculate outdoor space, then look elsewhere, but if you are here to fish, this house is unbeatable."
