First of all, we LOVE this house! There are some things I’d handle to make the experience for my tenants better though. First of all, that rug under the dining room table has been there since we first rented this house in 2020. To say it is nasty would be an understatement. Secondly, my husband, my eldest son & his wife & my youngest son and his partner were all fairly pleased with the rooms UNTIL someone had to sleep on one of the twin beds in the spare bedroom. One really can’t even call what they slept on a mattress. You can literally feel the springs just by pushing down on what they are using for a mattress, it was more like they were sleeping on a box spring. For the amount of rent charged for this house, but a new mattress!!! Third, a deep clean once a year needs to happen. The back of the louvered door for one of the bedrooms is disgusting. There are cobwebs on the walls. The spare bedroom with the twin beds was not as dirty as some I have stayed at but was not as clean as the other two bedrooms. Now for the things that are not as big of a deal in my mind: it rained at least half the time we were there, I usually bring some board games but forgot. A couple of board games or Uno or something would be nice for those days when folks can’t spend their time outside. Also, maybe an air fryer. The kitchen is WELL equipped, however. The dishwasher does need to be screwed in so be aware of that or it could tumble forward on you, we cook most all our meals.

Disappointed
Well i was reluctant to write this review, but i dont want anyone elses vacation to de ruined.The house is dated but you can tell by the pictures. The selling point was the location on the bay and it does not disappoint. Upon check-in the house had a very dank smell almost like pet urine. After inspection there was no air filter in the ac. Brett was quick to reply and had the filter replaced immediately. Now we have a dog and dog friendly is always good. Unfortunately after 1st day we noticed fleas on the dog and by day 2 she was infested so badly my wife had to bring her home and multiple flea baths. And yes we use frontline so this was a surprise. I trated the carpet, sprayed the house. We notified Brett and he offered a full refund if we left. We had planned this vacation for a year and were unable to relocate so we stayed. My wife was to return for the final 3 days but would not stay at this location so we got a room down the block and asked Brett for a 500$ refund to pay for that room. He agreed and i assumed all was well. We kept the boat at Bretts. Finished the week. After i tried to contact Breet about refund and to this day, 6 months later i have heard nothing. Pretty disappointing.

A little upset!!
Freezer was iced over, had to bust it all out before we could use it, had a lot of other visitor's leftovers in it. Outside grill was so nasty no one wanted to use it, plus two empty gas containers. Tub and shower floors in the bathrooms were way to slippery, one of my older friend's fell while showering, lucky he did not hurt his self to bad, just bruises. Entry gates were hard to open / close, could use a little TLC. Floor at the fish cleaning area is also very slick. Loved the outside shower and the larger yard area. We have been coming to the Keys in the Marathon area for 30 plus years and I'm sorry to say this visit was not one of our best.

Perfect fishing experience!
Perfect fishing experience whether off the dock or docking your boats! Deep water Dock space provided for several boats and a floating dock for kayak launch. Fish off dock included snapper, shark and even a grouper! Mangrove island across canal homed snook and redfish in rooted shade. Location was great for Florida Bay and Atlantic waters. Home location in very convenient to shopping and Very peaceful large lot had plenty of space for truck and trailers. Excellent view of sunrise for early risers. We will definitely return!
