Our stay was very pleasant! Arrival and departure were prearranged which was so easy. The place was well stocked with necessities, well kept, and quiet. We enjoyed the tiki bar. Being centrally located, we visited the many local restaurants and sights. There is a grocery store nearby. We were able to rent a pontoon boat on site for the day - very convenient.Thank you, Kate, for following up to assure our stay met all our expectations from start to finish.

Fishing trip with daughter

The property was very clean. Excellent communication from hostess. Perfect location from the pool, literally across the parking lot. Tiki bar was nice but expensive. There is a Walgreens and Publix grocery store right around the corner. Nice location to drive to other parts of the Keys. I would strongly recommend this location. Bring your own games, Yahtzee, cards, etc… this would have been nice to have during downtime at night, but this is at the bottom of anyone’s needs. Just a suggestion.

Everything perfect!

We enjoyed our stay at the Mad Mahi in Marathon very much. The place was easy to find, very quiet and had everyhting we needed. The bed was VERY comfortable and we had breakfast on the balcony. It was just so quiet and peaceful and we liked it much better than staying at a hotel. Kate was very relyable and communication with her was great. Access to the place was contact less what we prefered. We totally recommend that place!!

Nice quiet relaxing place.

Outdoor pool bar was fun and relaxing. Front desk staff was super nice. Host was helpful and nice. If you don’t mind looking at docked boats in the channel, from the front door, it’s a good place to stay. The view from the balcony is not so good. It’s only the parking lot and outside of pool area. Bedroom sliding door has thin white curtain, so it’s Not a dark room at anytime. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

A nice place to stay with restaurant, pool & Tiki Bar on site plus a free pass to a private resort.

We had a nice stay however there is an AC unit in the bedroom that we needed to turn off at night bc it was so loud. Very comfy bed with a nice layout overall. One other complaint was there was construction going on during the week on the balconies and the loud construction noises started right at 8:30am.
