Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Marathon

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.

The stay experience exceeded our expectations. The only recommendation would be to have a listing of recommended restaurants, beaches, boat rental places, etc to go see in both Marathon and key west. We visited key west and found out afterwards where we should have gone.

This spot was great! The home is spacious, incredibly comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. It’s located at the very end of an inlet, offering a waterfront setting but I wouldn't call it picturesque. While we didn’t have a boat, it looked like getting one in and out would be easy for an experienced boater. The house was spotless—you can tell a lot of care goes into keeping it clean. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, with soft sheets that made for a great night’s sleep. Everything related to rest and relaxation was truly top-notch. The home is well-stocked with basic necessities for living, though if you have specific cooking preferences or comfort items, you should make a quick trip to the store. The neighborhood is very quiet, with the exception of some occasional noise from the nearby airport—but that’s just part of being in Marathon. Parking was easy, the pool was great, and everything matched the description perfectly. We highly recommend

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Serendipity. Great location right off Duval Street within walking distance to everything. Private and secluded. The pool is small and shared with 12 units, but it was nice. The courtyard is welcoming and peaceful. Bed was very comfortable. Well appointed kitchen; having the ice machine was great! Hosts communicate well. Parking was tight but once we got a spot we didn’t move the car for the rest of the trip. Overall had a great time at this excellent spot in Key West!

This home was exactly as described. It's close enough to all sorts of attractions and restaurants, but also feels like a private oasis. The back yard was AMAZING with a pool, hot tub, fire pit, and games there was always something to do. I especially loved the pool, even at night! The house was spotless and when I walked in I noticed it smelled amazing in there. The king size bed was comfy, and I love that this house has a washer and dryer so I was able to wash our bathing suits etc. It's very convenient! JC was responsive and also gave us some great recommendations on restaurants to try. I would love to be able to stay here again soon. Between the location, cleanliness, comfort level, and amenities this place has to offer, it is by far one of the best airbnb's I've ever stayed in hands down. Thanks again for a wonderful stay JC!

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.

This was the most perfect Airbnb for our vacation. First of all, Marathon is the perfect location if you are looking to explore multiple parts of the Keys. 1 hour to Key Largo, 1 hour to Key West. We could not have asked for a better location. The home looks just like the photos and was perfect for our family of 4 + our pup. The beds were comfortable, the living space had plenty of room for our crew, but the real show stopper was the pool. If we weren't out and about exploring the Keys, we were definitely in/by the pool! A few added bonuses: (1) K-cups for our use for that first morning. This kept us from having to worry about an emergency grocery store trip the evening of our arrival (2) pool floats available for our use (3) bikes & kayaks for everyone (4) EVERYTHING. We couldn't have asked for better - we will definitely be back!

The house was immaculate and Jim was great! He was quick to respond and was full of great information. He even brought us a hand mixer to make a birthday cake when we realized we didn't have one. The location is ideal, right on the canal with upstairs views to the ocean. We spent many days in the pool, preparing dinner (fresh caught fish) in the outdoor kitchen. I highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back!

Home was beautiful and definitely worth the cost. The extra amenities were also fabulous. Unfortunately the check in did not go smoothly at all. No check in instructions were sent, the 2 addresses provided at the initial booking did not get us to the property. Once the call center did respond, it said "you were emailed instructions" (the check in instructions were actually never received until check out- even once we said we never got them) We found our way to the resort and the staff assisted us getting to the residence address, they were super helpful and gracious. The on site property manager Josie was a absolute godsend, without her we wouldn’t have gotten in either day. The second day the code was not working and we did not get timely assistance . Josie again came to the rescue, even on her day off. While the first 24 hours were definitely bumpy, we had no further issues and had a great stay. If it wasn't for the check in issues it would've been a perfect review.

Property was excellent and very well prepped for our stay. Andrea did a great job of assisting us and support!

What a beautiful place! We still can't get over it. It must be brand new and so well kept. The furniture was so nice and high end, I hope other guests treat it like the gem that it is! More room than needed for two adult couples. Easy walk to neighborhood pool with ocean views. The access to the resort is about an 11 minute walk cutting through a busy street. But was easy to drive over and park at the resort, so not too bad. Can't wait to stay again- it really is a bang for the buck if you compare a hotel ROOM per night VS the villa!

I had an amazing time around, Josie was amazing and the overall attention was great, if you want to relax and have a great time around, this is your place!

Place was well worth the money and the amenities provided at the resort down the road were incredible. Felt like you were in the White Lotus but more family friendly. Gorgeous beach, very updated house and super clean. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence.

Our stay was excellent. The house was beautiful and we had plenty of room. Having access to the resort was ideal for families with kids or teens. They loved meeting other kids in the resort. We always had excellent communication with our hosts which we appreciated it. We look forward to coming back again.

Our stay at this house was absolutely perfect! The home itself was spacious, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. What made it even better was the access to the resort amenities like pools, restaurants, and activities, all just a short distance away. It truly felt like having the best of both worlds: the privacy of a home with the luxury of a resort.
