"I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know we had a wonderful vacation last week at the 745 98th st. house! It was a beautiful home and having a pool this time around made a huge difference for our kids. Working with you was a breeze and your customer service is top notch! " "Everything was exactly as shown in photos and description. Location in the Keys was perfect. Less than an hour from Key West (away from craziness) but close to grocery, drug and retail stores. Plenty of parking for two cars and boat trailer. Public ramp only a couple miles away. Would highly recommend!" "My family and I just spent 28 great days in Marathon. We rented a 3 bedroom, 8 person house on 98th Street (MA843, between MM 52/53). The experience was phenomenal. The house was even better than envisioned. The ground floor had a fairly new pool, a great Tiki Pavilion, foosball, pool/ping pong table and a much used storage room with a bait freezer. Not to mention lush landscaping, extreme privacy, and the dock. The Tiki hut was perfect for the area and gave us an alternate place to dine and hang out. It was great coming back from a day on the water and jumping in the pool. The location also offers a direct ocean access marked channel right outside of the mouth of our dockage. There is plenty of parking for up to three vehicles and a trailer, which was nice. Next door was a wonderful County park with a workout area, dog park, and Tiki huts that you can fish from. The main living area had three decent sized bedrooms, two baths, a nice living room, kitchen and screened in balcony. The space was laid out nicely and gave everyone enough space to enjoy the house. The main shower has an awesome set of water features that give a great aqua massage. Barbara McKee was our agent and was very responsive during the whole rental experience. The microwave died and a replacement was set up within hours. My only negative was that the wind was pretty bad for tarpon fishing. Can't control Mother Nature, but had an awesome time anyway with family and friends. I highly recommend it. Great places to eat: Fisheries, Island Fish Company, 7 Mile Grill, Wooden Spoon, and Stuffed Pig. Great Beaches: Sombrero Beach, Bahia Honda, Currey Hammock. Great Trips: Key West Butterfly Conservatory, Turtle Hospital. Great snorkeling: Sombrero Reef, Looe Key. My family has been going to Marathon since the 1960's and this was a great trip." Steve W.
