Huge Swim Spa~ Incredible Special Fall Pricing
We really enjoyed our stay. The host, Sherry, gave timely information and quickly responded to messages. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of amenities that were available to us at the house. The Cabana Club was a real hit with my teenage daughters. It had reasonably priced drinks and lunch type meals. They enjoyed just laying by the pool or beach and sun tanning. We saw manatees one of the evenings right in the backyard of the home.

Beachside Unit 22 - Private Beach on Atlantic
Had a great stay here. Very nice and great location in the keys.

When Paradise is Key: Tropical Oceanfront Condo

Beachfront Villa - Florida Keys
This is a fantastic property! Right across from Sombrero Beach but still peaceful and private. The house and yard is like an oasis. Host and management company are WONDERFUL! Highly recommend!

Beachy Keen @ Ocean Point
Excellent stay at Kenneth’s Place. Condo looked just Like photos. Kitchen well stocked, Beach towels and chairs, Pool floats and tennis racquets - everything you could want. Kenneth very responsive to our requests. Easy quick walk to pool, tennis courts and beach. Nice having a restaurant grill at pool And beach. Would definitely visit again!!

Casa Cove 3bed3bath sleeps 8 beautiful decorated
This unit should be a model for how all Air BnB’s should be maintained. 100% satisfied and will save it for future trips to Key West. Judy has thought of everything, we didn’t find ourselves “needing” anything. The private carport was perfect for parking motorcycles. If you’re not familiar with the area you should plan to uber to Duval St. (if you don’t have a vehicle), only a 20 min drive.

Key Largo Village getaway
If you are looking for a place to stay in the Keys, look no further. To start things off, Jenn is the best host you can ask for!! She was extremely responsive and incredibly sweet throughout the whole stay. She would always check in on us at the perfect times and really helped us feel right at home. Best experience I have ever had with a host!! As for the AirBnB itself, it was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for. It is tucked in a private family-friendly neighborhood that does a good job of drowning out any noise from the roads. It was exceptionally clean when we arrived and the amenities were fantastic. Really felt like a home away from home. The location was also very convenient and made our day trips to Miami and Key West a cinch. It is also near lots of amazing local beaches, snorkeling and kayaking spots, and restaurants. We will definitely be staying with Jenn again anytime we are in the area!!

Key Largo Sunrise Resort Style Ocean Pointe 5315
The condo was pristine and actually better than the photos. Bedrooms in particular were really lovely. Our only issue was that the WiFi was out but Sean was super responsive in getting it back up. Plus there was a common WiFi for the building which worked fine. I would definitely rent again.
Vacation rentals with pools in Marathon

Sea Ray Cove, Mini Lobster week NOW OPEN!
We had a great time during our one week stay. The location was perfect! Easy walk to the beach and beautiful canal views. We loved our visits from the manatee! We spent our days outside exploring the Keys and it was lovely to return each evening to this great house. We grilled dinners and enjoyed meals on the screened porch. Sunrise over the canal was gorgeous. We were sad to leave!

Sunset Views, Pool and Dock
We stayed at Frank’s place for two weeks and had an absolutely amazing time! The house was spotless, well-equipped, and super practical for our two energetic little ones. The pool and hot tub were perfect. We made the most of every sunset soaking in the hot tub, followed by peaceful late-night floats in the pool under clear, starry skies. We fished off the jetty most days and caught barracuda, mangrove snapper, plenty of sharks—and the neighbors even hooked a tarpon and landed a grouper! The kids loved snorkeling right off the dock, spotting rays, turtles, and loads of colorful fish. We missed the manatees when they came by one morning, but luckily caught up with them later while kayaking through the mangroves. Huge thanks to Frank for being such a fantastic host. One day we had a small issue with the pool, and his team showed up in under 10—absolutely amazing service. We truly didn’t want to leave and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Private 4/3 Pool Heater/Dock/Kayaks/Bikes,etc
My family and I stayed for a week and the house had everything we needed and more! The space was clean, comfortable and had lots of extras for the outside like pool floats, bikes, paddle boards, kayaks and more. The added touches inside like dish soap, hand soap, cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner was unexpected and a huge help. I was slightly surprised that this was an attached home, but there was still plenty of privacy and the location was extremely convenient. The hosts were very friendly and responsive and we would definitely recommend to others.

EYW Getaway
Edward's place was great! we really enjoyed the home like vibe. It had everything we needed during the stay. The sunset view from the balcony was beautiful.

“La casa azul” step 3’ to a private pool
We throughly enjoyed our stay. We especially loved the private pool and watching the wildlife and boaters in the canal. It was very relaxing and the Florida spring weather was awesome!

Venetian Tropics private heated pool at 82 degrees
I’d like to start this review with JoAn is amazing and super responsive. If you need anything, she will ensure that you will get it. This house is the epitome of what you would expect for a Florida keys home. If you’re looking for a house with a lot of character, in a phenomenal location for Atlantic access and fuel, this is the place. We throughly enjoyed our time staying here and will be back next year. The pool was nice to get into after diving every day, there was a fresh water hose on the dock, a freshwater outside shower and even a fish cleaning station. There is a deep freezer for ice and a tiki bar outside with a sink. Couldn’t be any happier with the house or the host. Thanks again JoAn for letting us use your house.

Anglers Terrace, Condé Nast Traveler's Best Airbnb
Our family of 9 loved the house! The pool, corn hole, and roof deck were all huge hits with the kids. The house is perfectly situated on Marathon, close to all the restaurants. Quick drive to Bahia Honda. We will definitely will be back for another visit to Andy’s place.

Private Pool Tropical Oasis - Centrally Located
We had a great stay at this beach rental! The house was very clean and well-maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to local shops and restaurants. The owner was also very responsive and helpful, quickly addressing any questions or minor issues that came up. Highly recommend this rental for a hassle-free beach getaway!
Marathon home rentals

Tiny Home on Waterfront | Bay Views | Deck | Pool
We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The location is incredible, right on the water. On our first night, we watched 12 manatees swim by from the porch. We also enjoyed using the kayaks, which was such a fun bonus. I can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

Reel Island Retreat #273 Venture Out in the Keys
Absolutely adored our little home away from home on the water! Swimming behind our little house was perfect for the kids. Our home was EQUIPPED with everything you tend to forget when going on a trip.

Blue Ocean Bungalow Spring discounts-NOW available
The house was really nice, clean and a real home away from home. It accommodated my family of 5 with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. It was located on a canal where we were able to enjoy the manatees and pelicans. It was centrally located and only a short distance from the beaches, snorkeling, wind surfing and excellent restaurants. We will definitely stay again if we visit the keys

Serenity Bay Estate-FL Keys Best Kept Secret! Beau
Stunning location, very comfortable with plenty of space for 10 people. When we arrived we never felt like leaving. Beautiful pool and hot tub surrounded by palm trees, sandy area with great fire pit, gorgeous outdoor eating area and kayaks to drop from pier. Very private location with spectacular sunsets! Fabulous!!!!

Private 174ft Dock, Boat Launch, Sombrero Beach
We had a great stay here, beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Kids loved fishing off the dock - although the boat ramp was unavailable, we were able to use the ramp at the marina down the block ($30 each drop). Hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful when we had a question. Wed definitely stay here again next time in Marathon.

Waterfront Oceanside, 60 Ft Dock, As seen on HGTV
We had a wonderful time staying at Tim’s place! He was an excellent host who was always available if I had a question. The house is in a beautiful location. We enjoyed sitting on and fishing off the dock. The house had everything we needed for a fantastic stay and a very enjoyable vacation. I can’t say enough good things about our experience at the home. We were able to meet Tim and he was a lovely host. Thank you for a great vacation! We hope to come back in the future!

Beautiful Renovated Home in Marathon, FL
What a great place in the Keys and incredible host! We loved being in Marathon but staying at Yery’s made our time in the Keys even better. We were close to an incredible seafood restaurant called Kings Seafood and an ice cream shop just walking distance. The Sea breeze was beautiful every morning. The place was pristinely clean and very comfortable! The shower was so nice we are now redoing our own shower so we can have the same shower head haha! We will definitely be going back!

Marathon 3BR Canal Pool Spa Special WK May 4-11
Great peaceful place to stay. We saw manatees, tarpon and many other species in the canal. Also had some short visits from different types of lizards and iguanas. The pool and hot tub were amazing everyone in our group enjoyed them. The dock was a great place to keep our rental boat. I would 100% come back.

Your guide to Marathon
All About Marathon
The Florida Keys stretch from Key Largo, near the mainland, out into the ocean to Key West. About halfway between sit the 13 islands, including Grassy Key, which make up the city of Marathon. Along with a few other nearby islands like Duck Key and Key Colony Beach, the area draws visitors looking for a getaway destination with top-notch boating and fishing and family-friendly sunshine. While there, you can lounge at the natural beach area of CocoPlum and the shady, well-equipped shores of Sombrero Beach.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Marathon
As befits a sunshine and beach destination, the summers in Marathon bring some extremely hot weather. The average highs stay above 90 degrees Fahrenheit throughout, with significant humidity. Those muggy days coincide with the rainy season, bringing large amounts of rain from June through November — which just happens to be hurricane season as well. If you’re visiting during this time, keep an eye on the hurricane forecast and be aware of the dangers. The most pleasant times to visit Marathon are spring and fall, when highs average in the 80s, though the former is drier than the latter. Winters stay fairly warm, making it an appealing destination when the rest of the country cools off.
Top things to do in Marathon
Sombrero Beach
For a pure, relaxing, classic beach day, Sombrero fits the bill better than anywhere around. Aside from the natural assets — soft sand and swimmable water — the city park offers plenty of shade, picnic areas, volleyball courts, a playground, and bathroom facilities. Between April and October the local loggerhead turtles lay their eggs here, so at times portions of the beach are closed to the public to protect the nests.
Drive the Seven Mile Bridge
This cinematic stretch connecting the Middle and Lower Keys will leave you feeling like you’re (nearly) driving on water, due to how close the bridge dips to the aquamarine scene below. Built in the early 1900s, the original Seven Mile Bridge was retired in 1980 and earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. You can drive the modern version and see why this bridge is a popular setting for blockbuster films.
Curry Hammock State Park
The 1,000 acres of this secluded park protect ecosystems essential to life in the Florida Keys. You can kayak or paddleboard through mangrove swamps, by rockland hammocks, and over seagrass beds, marveling at marine life such as manatee, dolphin, spotted eagle ray, and horseshoe crabs that make this park their home.
