Relaxation plus
We enjoyed our stay and were impressed with all the staff! The unit was exceptionally clean and well equipped. Close to shopping and stores. If I had to find something to improve on….the drinks at the pool bar could be slightly less expensive, it would bring much more business. $20 a drink including tip is a bit too much.
There is a bit of work to be done on the balconies as the salt air is damaging.
We loved it and will be back!!

Wonderful Property!!
We were a group of three couples, the house could not have been more perfect! Everyone had their own beautiful room with bathroom. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. We cooked in several nights. The grounds are great, view, workout room, pool, hot tub and pool bar. Perfect week!

Beautiful Property
The house was beautiful and comfortable. It really felt like home. The common area in the house was great for the whole family. The pool area, bar and games were very fun. We went biking and kayak/paddleboarding with the resorts equipment. We checked out table games for nights at home and played pool and cards in the clubhouse the one night it rained. It was an excellent vacation.

We loved Marlin Bay! The pool is amazing, the unit was new, clean, spacious. We loved the amenities - the bar at the pool, the games, the grills out by the docks. We fed the fish at the docks and even saw a whole family of manatees there! Great location as a mid (ish) point between Miami and key west.

Beautiful & Clean Furnished House
This 3 bedroom house was perfect for 3 couples to enjoy. The place was spotless, furnished kitchen made for making some meals along with our awesome memories. The pool and hot tub were very nice. The marina was a great place to grill and met some fun people staying there as well. Stunning sunsets. My only suggestion would be to let people leave their condiments in the fridge and seasonings in the cupboards when leaving. Would have loved to share them with the next guests.

Beautiful complex!
Super clean beautiful resort. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was right outside our condo with a bar, games, palm trees and abundant seating both in the sun and shade, The condo was beautiful and roomy with a huge kitchen. Marathon Key is not the most beautiful key but its an easy drive to get to beauty. We would highly recommend !

Beautiful home and property.
Very nice home that is newly decorated with high quality finishes and furniture. Community of about a dozen homes at a yacht club with beautiful pool on gulf side of marathon right next to Key Fisheries. Most folks in marina were retired folks on circuit tour when we visited. Pictures on site accurately depict property.
