Oceanfront, ground-level home with a pool. Great location for lobster season!

DIRECT OCEANFRONT, fully updated, ground floor, single Family Home; 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6 comfortably). The home is all new and beautiful!! 50 feet of deepwater dockage with immediate access to the Ocean and Gulf and a gas dock right around the corner. Amazing views of the Atlantic and beyond. Now, with a pool just steps away from the ocean.

This carefree classic 'Keys' home is located in a very quiet, established neighborhood. There are no mobile homes, vacant lots, or trash of any kind anywhere near the home. Conveniently and centrally located with various food options, including the really good local fisher market and restaurant within walking distance! The Lobster House has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and sleeps up to 8. The kitchen is completely furnished with everything you will need to cook your catch! There is a large covered patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with a barbecue and plenty of seating for a crowd. The pool is just ten feet away from the ocean. Dock up to a 40 ft boat out your back door; water is 7 feet deep at the dock at low tide. Boat rentals are available just 3 mins away. Fishermen, we have it all! Bait freezer, cleaning table, and a new grill to cook your catch! And the green light brings the fish in at night.

If you have any questions, just hit the "contact host" button, enter your dates, and it will be sent directly to me. Please feel free to contact me anytime, day or night. Looking forward to helping you book your amazing oceanfront vacation.

Perfect Location!
We had a wonderful stay! The dock was perfect for fishing, launching kayaks/paddle boards and just sitting with a drink watching the manatees and gorgeous sunsets! The deeper area in front of the dock was great for fishing/docking larger boats. Further out are shallow sea grass beds that were perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding without having to worry about boat traffic! The house was clean and had everything we needed for an awesome week in the Keys!

Great trip!
The listing represents the house well. It was extremely clean, which is greatly appreciated. Communication was fast and friendly. We enjoyed the dock, as many have mentioned. It was ample in size to keep our boat tied up and still offer a view. The wildlife was as hoped—a manatee visited on several occasions. The week flew by with all of the fun activities. I wish we could have stayed longer. The only thing to note, the paddleboard is not an EPS & fiberglass type. I guess it was a blow-up kind with a surface that left anything that touched it blue like a Smurf. We'd have chosen to bring one or two from home if we knew. This point is probably unimportant to most! Other than that, everything was perfect!

Lobster House
Had a wonderful time at the Lobster House. Weather was great, saw manatees and sea turtles. The tarpon were active at night by the light.

A terrific find
This was our first trip to the Keys and we really loved The Lobster House-- a bright and cheerfully decorated beach house located directly on the water with dock off the deck. We had five adults (two parents and three mid 20s adults) and had plenty of room. Comfortable furniture, everything we needed. Check-in/out were very easy. The hosts were quite helpful and reached out to us before and during our stay; they provided helpful suggestions for activities, shopping and dining in the Marathon area and in Key West, which is about an hour's drive south. We enjoyed the back deck with porch and table/chairs providing shade, hot tub, fishing off the dock, green light for night fishing and watching the many fish and sea birds. Neighborhood is quiet and felt safe, many restaurants within easy walking distance. Hope we'll be back sometime-- can't go wrong with this one! Would give more stars if I could!

Wonderful Marathon oasis
Wonderful house, just as described. Had everything you could need. Kitchen well-stocked, beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed seeing Manatees right at the dock, fishing was fun. Beautiful view. Owners were very nice and responsive to a very minor issue; quickly resolved. One note: there is a small airport (non-commercial); private jets, tour helicopters, military, behind the house on the far side of the main highway. If you spend time at the house, you will notice the air traffic. Nonetheless, beautiful, comfortable property, close to tons of activities. This is a can't miss rental.

Best location for stay in the Keys
Beautiful home, best location we could have asked for. When you step out onto the patio, you are steps away from the oceanfront dock. Beautiful view, had so much fun not just fishing from the dock, but watching the fish. As far as we could tell, this was the only house that had a night light for fish. We really enjoyed watching them and catching them. This location is about 5 minutes from Sombrero Beach, a little over an hour away from Key West. We enjoyed eating at Porky's, the key lime sweets and ice cream at Sweet Savannah's, and breakfast at The Wooden Spoon, all close by. A huge highlight was watching the most beautiful sunset at Sunset Beach Park, also only about 5 minutes away. We normally visit the panhandle in FL and stay in a beachfront condo on the beach there. The family agreed this is the closest to the ocean we've ever stayed, completely different type of FL trip. There is a paddleboard available at the house that our oldest son enjoyed using (right off the dock) and the "Ringing the Bull" hook and ring set up on the patio was enjoyed by all. Fishing poles were provided. We bought a few things missing in the tackle box and were good to go. The house is well equipped with everything you might need in the kitchen. Bathrooms are equipped with blow dryers and magnifying mirrors, something these older eyes appreciate. Rooms have individually controlled AC, another feature great for our group. We won't hesitate to book here again on our next trip to the Keys.

Fantastic Property & Location
The Lobster House is wonderful. We found ourselves not wanting to do many other activities because the dock was so nice. We enjoyed many hours of fishing and sunrise/sunset gazing directly on the ocean. The house is recently remodeled with great style. We enjoyed everything about the property and hope to return soon.
