Vaca cove vava
The house was beautiful, it had everything we needed. Except for one thing it should have slept 10 and it only slept 84 bedrooms three heads, double and queen,beds, and one had two twin twin twins. My grandson slept on the couch in my five-year-old in a playpen. It would’ve been nice if the sofa or loveseat would’ve pulled out into a bedThat is my biggest complaint

Corporate Rental
Excellent location and comfortable rental. Kayaks, pool, dock, deck, outdoor areas were a nice plus and well maintained. We had issues with a slippery tub and requested a non-slip mat, but it was not provided over the next 6 days we were there. Hopefully this has been fixed. Overall, this was a nice property, and we would rent here again.

Inaccurate sleeps amount
Vrbo said the unit sleeps 10 but does NOT. It sleeps 8. It was extremely u comfortable for a tall 16 year old to sleep on a couch!!!!! We assumed the couch was a roll out but it wasn’t! Total fraudulent advertising. There were cockroaches in 3 of the bedrooms. Bathroom fan leaked after rain storm. Furniture is old and needs replacement.

We loved the home, took the kayaks out daily, enjoyed the pool and the manatees in the bay, and loved walking to restaurants and short drives to all Marathon had to offer. Thank you for a great stay!

Anniversary Vacation
Beautiful property. The pictures were “spot on”! There were a few glitches - sliding doors did not lock, the hot/cold hoses were switched on the washing machine and the exterminator serviced the condo while we were there.

Great Getaway
Great place to stay with plenty of room for our party of 6. Location was great and kayaks were nice to use. Hot tub was a great extra snd the pool was always a nice temperature. Tv in the living room didnt work but we weren't there to watch TV.
