Enjoy the Keys state-of-mind in this fully-renovated, modern-coastal Florida Keys stilted beach house located in the desirable Sombrero Beach neighborhood. Ideally located, our house is within walking / biking distance (0.8 miles) to one of the nicest beaches in the Keys, Sombrero Beach (ranked in top 25 beaches in the US by TripAdvisor- #22). We are a short bike ride or two minute car ride to Sombrero Beach (walk/bike path).

Relax in the evenings sipping your favorite beverage under the stars in the back porch overlooking the dock & canal. Enjoy sunset dinners in our Adirondack dining table overlooking the channel. Pull up a chair to the dock and watch the fish surround the underwater LED lights. Downstairs picnic table next to the spa and bar makes for a great evening enjoying the stars and tropical Keys vibe.

Excellent hosts

We had a great stay. The house was perfect. We only ever stay at vacation homes and this was the most stocked well appointed home we’ve stayed at. We didn’t have to buy hardly anything extra. Cleaning and toiletries and supplies. More than enough bikes, kayaks, SUPs, beach chairs, towels, fishing poles. Hot tub was great. Dock was great. Comfortable and quality furniture and items in the house. Nice short bike ride to sombrero beach. The hosts were the most eager to help and please we’ve experienced. All of the positive reviews were right this place and these hosts were wonderful.

Perfect location, accommodation, and hosts!

We stayed here for spring break with 2 adults and 2 teens. The hot tub, kayaks, SUPs, bikes, and positive reviews stood out when booking, as I rely heavily on reviews! We biked almost daily to Sombrero Beach for sunsets or quick grocery runs to Publix. We also biked to Starbucks, 7 Mile Bridge, and dinner. The canals were perfect for SUPs and kayaks. We fished off the dock, caught a few nice fish, and even saw a manatee. We enjoyed the hot tub almost every night and played games like bags and the swinging hook game. The rental also had snorkeling and beach gear, plus a cooler for our beach day. We flew into Key West, making the drive to Marathon easy. The location was ideal for booking local activities like a fishing charter, parasailing, and a snorkeling trip to Sombrero Reef—all within 10 minutes.Hosts Monica & Roly were great, providing excellent communication, answering questions, and offering helpful recommendations. The unexpected snacks and local dining suggestions were a nice touch. The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, with everything we needed. Beds were comfy, and fans were provided in each bedroom. We loved the air fryer in the kitchen! A great rental, and we’d definitely rebook if we return to Marathon.

Pink Cottage was Awesome

This is a perfect location in Marathon, close to the beach and everything is a bike ride away. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. The kitchen was well supplied and included a number of welcome gifts including an unbelievable key lime pie. I used the hot tub every day and biked everywhere. The canals were fun to kayak. I was very pleased with everything and will be back.

Wonderful home, great communication, everything you need and more! A must rent!

Unfortunately, both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton hit Florida right before our visit. We were hesitant to even visit worried about the safety of the property and the condition of the beaches and the community. Monica and Roly were very communicative and reassuring that our visit was welcome. We had a wonderful time.! Their place is very nice, comfortable, clean and equip with anything you might need for a relaxing and fun filled vacation. We even got a great tip on a beach that was definitely the rose of our trip. The only thorn of the trip was having to leave! Thank you both for your hospitality!

Great Host/Location/Everything

We came right before Hurricane Milton. The hosts were great about staying in touch with us and giving us weather updates. The house is lovely, the hot tub was my favorite - just the right temperature even in the heat! We were welcomed with amazing snacks and water. The hosts touched base throughout our stay and worked hard to make sure we had a relaxing time. We've stayed in several rental homes and this was one of my favorites. The location was also perfect.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this awesome pink Beach House. We rented a boat and did lots of fishing, and that worked really well for us. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked, and plenty of room for everyone in our family. Our boys enjoyed playing cornhole, and the parents loved the hot tub. Such much attention to details that made us feel very welcome! Close to 2 grocery stores and a quick bike ride to Sombrero Beach.

This little pink house was perfect for our family of 5 plus an infant. Our host went out of their way to have everything we needed for our grandson- sleep n play & a high chair. The extra's like the use of bikes, kayaks, & hot tub is what caught our attention. We were very comfortable all week & had plenty of things to do. We even saw 4 manatees in the mangroves on 1 of our adventures. Sombrero Beach was a bike ride away. Our hosts answered all our questions quickly. Would definitely book here again!

The house was incredible and was the perfect place for our family of four to spend a week in the Florida Keys. The beautiful interior decor really added to the relaxed, tropical atmosphere. We loved riding the bikes and the house's proximity to Sombrero Beach. The fire pit and kayaks on the canal were great touches. Also, the house was in the ideal location, both being close to the beach and right in the middle of the Keys, making it easy to explore the area. The colorful sunsets that we could see from the house were stunning too!

We had a lovely family vacation (6 adults) at this home. The host was very gracious and responsive, providing every amenity large and small, indoors and out, that you could want. The welcome snacks after a long day of travel were a nice gesture, and the Old Florida mango salsa was a huge hit! The key lime pie made a wonderful birthday treat. Our sons especially appreciated the fishing poles and bait cooler. The homes and school on Sombrero Beach Road are a lovely Florida Keys style, with a daily flow that gets you moving with the Florida sunshine. The walking/bike path leads in one direction to beautiful Sombrero Beach, the other to Publix/Walgreens. Jogging, biking, kayaking, paddle boards, snorkeling, etc.-this vacation home has it all!

Amazing week in Marathon!

My family had an amazing time in Marathon over the holidays. Our flights were cancelled but Monica and Roly were so accommodating. We had to shorten our time but loved every minute of our time in paradise. The house was perfect for us and we took advantage of all the accessories they provided: bikes, kayaks, fishing poles, beach chairs and beach towels. We were welcomed with a few gifts from our hosts which was a nice surprise. Highlights from our trip: walking the old 7 mile bridge, fishing off the dock (we did not have much luck), a reef fishing charter (took our catch to Lazy Days for them to prepare and it was the best fish we ever tasted), Docksiders for live music, a day trip to Key West and relaxing on the deck. We highly recommend going to Key Fisheries for the lobster role and stone crab claws. Everything we ate was amazing and we hated to leave. On our last night we took a sunset cruise with Marathon Mermaids and that was a nice way to end our week. I highly recommend this property and we hope to go back!
