About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Brand new 5bed/6Bth pool w/76 ft of Dockage- 2 Homes Next Door Available as well
A beautiful home that can only be described as a luxury beach cottage, on exclusive Dodge Lake. Another Lily of the Keys design, this luxury home is thoughtfully laid out with five bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom boasting floor to ceiling tile, solid glass doors, and an additional half bath for guests. The home is fully furnished with king-size beds in each bedroom, as well as 50-in TVs. The living room has two large couches with an 85-in flat screen TV for a great entertainment experience. But you are not going to want to watch TV with the incredible view that overlooks beautiful Dodge lake. Even doing the dishes will be a joy with the window over the sink providing a view of the lake. Custom concrete pool with sun ledge, and patio area leads out to the approximately 76 foot TREX Deck dock. The home is located less than 1000 ft from the public boat launch, so this is the most convenient vacation rental for boaters in all of Marathon.I personally love key west when i was in my 20s... Marathon is where i like to be. I have owned vacation rentals in Marathon since 2005. I rented vacation homes from others here before 2005... and was always disappointed in the condition of the homes. I thought... "I can do better"

Fun fishing dock!
The house was perfect for our crowd of 10. The property managers were so attentive with special requests and more. We had an issue with power to the hot tub one evening and they had a repairman there is about and hour, fixed the issue and had us enjoying again in no time.

Beautiful property excellent view!!!
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home.
From the moment we put the key in the door we were blown away with the wonderful view. For over forty years we have visited Florida and this is the first house we have stayed in where I could say that I honestly couldn’t think of a thing to improve it, all of us immediately felt at home as it was all the little details that made it.
We were visited by manatee and iguana and to see different fish in their natural environment was a bonus. We want to thank Tim for the use of his beautiful home and Jessi for her help, she went above and beyond…. We will be back😊
