Had a great stay here. Very nice and great location in the keys.

Très joli appartement dans une résidence avec une belle piscine Belle étape sur la route des keys

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.

Beachfront Condo w/ Ocean Views in Marathon
This is a beautiful ocean-front condo!! It is equipped with everything needed to spend a week or many weeks. The view is incredible, the beach is very nice and walkable. It is quiet, relaxing and the pool is at least 85 in January!! Enjoyed our week very much and hope to come back for a few weeks next time!!
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!
Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Marathon

Castaway Cove: Pet-friendly 2/2 condo near beach!
A great spot for our family of five. Easy access to old Key West and all the local attractions. Great pool and hot tub to relax in after a long day of walking around. The condo was very well stocked and had everything we needed. Thanks for making our time in Key West so comfortable!

Paradise - Pool, Hot tub, Mini Golf, Dockage, Fish
Although the place wasn’t ready when we arrived, Ryan was a great communicator! He addressed every issue we had (which were NOT within his control) and responded in a timely manner. He offered a fair solution and allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy paradise! I’d highly recommend and hope to be back sometime soon!

Paradise Cove!30ft Dock Pool BBQ
Loved our rental in Key Colony. The house was beautiful and the kids loved the private pool. The place felt just like home.

Oasis in The Keys-Kayaks-Paddle Boards-Cabana Club
Our family of 8 stayed for a week and found the accommodations absolutely perfect. The beds were comfortable and clean. I loved the ceiling fans and feeling the ocean breeze through the sliding screen door at night. Plenty of closet space to unpack and the outdoor living area was a dream. We played shuffleboard and grilled out a lot. Excellent lounge chairs made stargazing a delight. Great shower pressure and plenty of towels provided. Washer and dryer worked well, as did all of the kitchen appliances. Only 3 out of the 4 bikes were useable; one of them needs a tune up; handlebars were loose and made riding unsafe. Be warned there are no bike helmets. We didn’t use the paddle boards or kayaks because it was a very windy week and the current was strong but they looked to be in good repair and there were multiple life jackets and water shoes and pool noodles available. Loved the pool and beach access at the clubhouse!

NEW PET FRIENDLY Waterfront Single Home-Pool,Beach
This home was great! There was six of us staying in this rental. It was spacious for all of us. We loved sitting outside on the patio by the canal. We were able to walk to a local restaurant, beach and pool. The house was very clean and the neighborhood was super quiet. Overall a great stay and Mary was an excellent host!

Waterfront w/pool and hot tub
We had a great time at this location. They had everything we needed and Key Colony is a perfect spot to vacation.

Vibrant Beachfront Villa
Had a wonderful wonderful weekend. Would highly recommend this unit!

Pet Friendly Half-Duplex Cottage w/40' Slip Option
Very friendly and making sure you feel right at home! Checks in to see if everything’s going well, if there’s anything they can do or that you need! Great place and will definitely be back and staying again!!

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.
