Vacation rentals in Fat Deer Key

This was a great place to stay in marathon. It was close to lots of different activities. We were close to key west.

We had a great time at “Home near beach and restaurants” in Marathon. I would say the high points of this place were: - It was very clean - It was very comfortable in terms of the shared living space as well as the two bedrooms and baths. - We ate in 5 out of 7 nights (but one of those was pizza) and the kitchen was very well stocked. - I loved having a working icemaker in the refrigerator - And the air conditioning worked wonderfully (it was very warm outside). - We enjoyed going to the beach multiple times and there was beach “stuff” included that we definitely made use of.

Beautiful ocean views and great local recommendations from the host! Some aspects of the interior were a bit dated, but with multiple areas to enjoy the outdoors (offering full shade to full sun and everything in between), we didn't do much inside except sleep. Kids spent hours per day in the pool and adults most enjoyed lounging on the jetty with 345 degrees of ocean views. Board games (and a ps3) were available for the occasional down time. The location allows for a feeling of privacy on the ocean while offering many hidden gems for dining and activities nearby.

My family and I stayed for a week and the house had everything we needed and more! The space was clean, comfortable and had lots of extras for the outside like pool floats, bikes, paddle boards, kayaks and more. The added touches inside like dish soap, hand soap, cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner was unexpected and a huge help. I was slightly surprised that this was an attached home, but there was still plenty of privacy and the location was extremely convenient. The hosts were very friendly and responsive and we would definitely recommend to others.

This is a fantastic property! Right across from Sombrero Beach but still peaceful and private. The house and yard is like an oasis. Host and management company are WONDERFUL! Highly recommend!

We loved our latest stay in Marathon. We traveled with two families (2 teens, 2 older children). The house layout was perfect for our group. It was nice to have the kitchenette downstairs by the patio slider for pool snacks (small microwave) and clean-up from beach days/pool days. The beds were all newer, stylist beach decor, & ample space. There is lots of indoor and outdoor (covered and uncovered) table/conversation seating. The pool and hot tub were great. We spent many nights in the hot tub looking at the stars and relaxing. Although, you on a canal with other houses, it’s very quiet. The canal had fish, sharks, and even a cute manatee that visited in the morning. Our kids loved fishing daily. As for location, it’s perfect. You’re only a few miles from Sombero Beach, Sunset Beach, and 7 mile bridge. Publix, bait shops, restaurants all within a short drive. You cannot walk to beaches, but we didn’t mind this. There is a bike trail on Aviation Rd. Near the house.

Our stay at John's place was amazing. The location was perfect as we went up and down the Keys spending time in Islamorada and a day in Key West. We walked the neighborhood and to Sombrero Beach. The set up for our boat was fabulous. We were able to leave it in the water to use everyday. The best part of John's house was the outdoor area in back. We stayed out there more than anywhere, of course the weather was perfect. Thank you for sharing your place with us John. We hope to be back!

Excellent location in a quiet upscale neighborhood. The house was like new, everything was clean and fresh. Very well equipped kitchen and baths. Lots of space indoors and out, with a beautiful small pool! Would definitely recommend this property for a peaceful getaway in the heart of the Florida Keys!!!
