Waterfront Private Home-7 BR, 6 Full BA, Pool, 80' Dock, Parking, Screened Porch

Welcome to 'Sombrero Sunset House' located in the heart of Sombrero Beach in Marathon, Florida! This prime waterfront location provides our guests everything they need to have a fantastic vacation in the Florida Keys. This is truly the one of the best locations in Marathon and it screams location, location, location!!! We love this home and want to share our little slice of paradise with you. As you will see, we have a unique and affordable waterfront home with 7 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms and plenty of room to accommodate multiple families or larger groups. Licensed to sleep up to 16 guests, there are 6 bedrooms with King beds and 1 bedroom with two Twin beds. Each bedroom has Smart flatscreen TVs, ample closet space and new dressers to store your personal items such as luggage and clothing.

This home was tastefully updated in October 2021. The updates included a new metal roof, new interior and exterior paint, completely new interior furniture, including all bedroom sets, living room (3 sofas) and dining room table with 8 seats, new tiki hut, privacy trees between the neighboring property, new pea gravel driveway, new artwork, new hurricane sliders, new stove, new washer and dryer, new patio furniture with seating for 16.

The list of positive attributes for this home are plentiful. Some of the amenities include a private pool, 110' waterfront with about 80 foot of private dockage, ample parking for 6 or more vehicles plus 2 boat trailers and a very large and spacious back yard. There is plenty of room for all of your vehicles, boats, water toys and trailers. Additionally, the back yard is completely fenced in for privacy and there is a lot of seating areas for our guests to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. There are long water views from the back yard and clear unobstructed views of the golf course from the front. And for those who like sand between their toes, Sombrero Beach is only minutes away.

Attached to the back of the home is a large enclosed screened patio with two outdoor tables and seating for 16. The back yard has a huge tiki hut with seating for 8, 4 lounge chairs, 8 Adirondack chairs, and 2 separate outdoor tables. Our guests can soak up the sun by the pool or sit inside the screened/shaded patio and enjoy the ocean breeze. The community is extremely safe and you can take morning or evening walks along the golf course’s pedestrian pathway out front. There is also a large balcony off two of the upstairs bedrooms boasting even more privacy and beautiful water views. At night, you can sit by the water, look at the stars and enjoy the peaceful serenity that this property has to offer.

The kitchen fully stocked with a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker utensils and cookware. Linens, bath towels and starter toiletries are provided along with a full-size washer and dryer.

If you play golf, all you need to do is walk out the front door onto one of the nicest golf courses in the Florida Keys. The golf facility also has multiple tennis courts and the City of Marathon has a free skate park nearby with basketball, baseball and tennis courts.

And let’s not forget the star of the show which is the ocean and water activities. For our boaters and fishermen, this home is only minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The fishing in Marathon is world class!!! From Mahi and Tuna to Sailfish and Grouper, the fishery is plentiful. You can fish, snorkel and dive within minutes of leaving the dock as the marine life and coral reefs are extraordinary. Manatees, snook, tarpon and even dolphins are often seen in the canal. Fishing off the dock is a ton of fun and the kids can catch fish all day long.

Further, there are many great waterfront restaurants in the immediate area along with creature comforts such as Publix, Walgreens, CVS, banks and gas stations. Additionally, this home is within minutes of several local attractions like the Dolphin Research Center, Aquarium Encounters, Turtle Hospital, Pigeon Key, the Seven Mile Bridge and Curry Hammock State Park.

For our adventurers, there are local Snorkel and Sunset cruise charters which take you to amazing nearby coral reefs such as Sombrero Light and Looe Key. Other local rental shops include kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles.

Need Baby Gear? No need to pack bulky baby equipment anymore. Babyquip.com has you covered for everything you need like cribs, pack-n-plays, strollers, car seats, toys and more. They deliver, set-up and pick-up when you’re done.

Who likes extra charges? Not us!!! The daily rate you pay includes everything. No extra charge for heating the pool, extra persons or administrative fees. And don't forget that we are locals who fish and dive these waters all year round. We love giving advice and tips about fishing and snorkel spots to our guests.

You can find us on FB by searching the name of the home. Our properties require a 7 day minimum stay and check-in/check-out is every Saturday. Security cameras on premises.

FAMILY VACATION
A perfect 3 generation family vacation. Everything you want steps from your back door. From swimming, to fishing, to grilling in the back yard, the home provided everything we could have wanted and more. The location was great, close to restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities. Would highly recommend!

Amazing Host
The property had a plumbing leak the day before our arrival. We had people coming from all over the country so I was in panic mode. The host was amazing in arranging alternative lodgings for us. He kept in close contact with us and even stopped in to check on us that we were doing well. He went above and beyond for us for what turned out to be non-profit for him. Thank you so much to Jay for saving our vacation!

Beautiful Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time with our family. The house was a perfect layout for the 4 generations, ages ranging from 4 months to 87 years old. The main floor bedrooms were very useful for the great-grandparents and the infant and baby's afternoon naps. Highly recommend this place.

This property is as described. Plenty of room for all of us. We each had our own rooms with plenty of seating in the common areas for everyone. The house needs a little TLC but overall did not effect our trip at all. We had a issue during our stay and the owner was very quick to respond and have it fixed. all in all was a great location and very spacious house. Would definitely stay again if we have a large group going. Jay thanks again for everything!

Birthday retreat with family and friends
This Marathon house was the perfect escape for our mixed group. We planned this trip for a birthday celebration and excuse to visit the Keys. The house had plenty of kitchen space for group meals and very close to grocery store. Fantastic restaurants nearby or fresh fish and lobster at local fish stands. All of the bedrooms exceeded expectations - everyone had plenty of space. We spent most of our time in the pool and backyard. Bring your fishing poles and a light to entice the fish off the back deck at night. We also brought a boat - the location was easy access to the Atlantic or gulf- we really enjoyed seeing the manatees and tarpon in the canals. Super easy to recommend this property to our friends and family.

GREAT KEYS VACATION
The house was everything the pictures showed, Clean, great location, modern, and very spacious. We loved the fact that the house had a private pool, large screened in area which we spent a lot of evenings hanging out, after site seeing or fishing, with a large dock we rented a boat. We highly recommend this place,

Great family vacation
A great vacay experience from start to finish. Jay was informative, helpful and responsive from beginning to end! Finding such a wonderful location that could accommodate our four families so comfortably left us with memories for a lifetime. The pool was perfect for all our ages 6-68, but the canal fishing was an unexpected highlight. Manatees swam right to our seawall along with many zebra fish. Also, plenty of fish were caught and cooked. Our rented boat provided easy access to nearby snorkeling. We’ll definitely keep Jay on our speed dial for future vacay opportunities.

This location was perfect for our vacation. Beaches, shopping and restaurants. The house had everything you could need. Large enough that even with the 16 people staying there it was comfortable and relaxing. Room around the pool was fabulous. Plenty of eating area inside or on the screened porch.

Relaxing Quality Family time at its best
We had 15 family members stay in this home for a week and we were never on top of each other! There is plenty of room inside for everyone and the outside space is awesome too. We really enjoyed watching the kids swim in the pool while we enjoyed the breeze sitting under the cabana. The kids also had a great time fishing of the dock and watching the dolphins, tarpon, barracuda and manatees from the dock. We really hope to come back to this house again sometime soon. Thank You!

The Best
This was a family vacation for 11 people. The house was very clean and had the amenities listed in the description. The Host was great at communicating with us prior, during, and after our visit. There is ample parking space in the driveway. We rented a boat that was docked at the house. It was super easy to navigate to the ocean. Each time we stood at the dock we would see various species of fish, nurse sharks, birds, lizards, and insects. Sombrero Beach was a short drive away. We spent most of our evenings in the pool or poolside. Grocery stores and convenient stores were close by, as well as restaurants and attractions. Plenty of room for everyone as a group but it also allowed space for those who wanted it. Our family looks forward to visiting again soon! Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful home Jay and Kristen.

Great property for a large group!
We loved this spacious home close to grocery shopping and attractions in Marathon! We had 6 adults and 8 teens in the home and never felt crowded even when multiple people were working in the kitchen to prepare meals! We greatly enjoyed the outdoor areas of the property especially the heated pool and the screened in patio where we could eat and play games! We had great success renting a boat from Yacht Haven which was also located along Sombrero Blvd. and there was plenty of dock footage to park the boat that we rented! We loved that there were so many bedrooms and bathrooms which allowed for privacy amongst the 3 families that were staying at the property. The owner was helpful and responsive and seemed genuinely concerned that we were happy and satisfied with our stay and trip in general! We definitely plan to use this property again when we come back to the Keys with our group of friends!

This house was perfect!! We had 4 couples with 8 children between us ages 6mos to 8 years old and we all had plenty of space and privacy as well as common areas! The pool is heated and oh so wonderful! The hot tub is also a nice retreat! We rented a 26 foot power boat for fishing and the dock was great for that. Easy to navigate around the channel and fish off the dock too. Even had a surprise visit from a manatee!! Much needed and very well enjoyed vacation! Jay is very attentive and has lots of great tips for local attractions too!!
