We had a great trip to Marathon, Florida for my daughter’s wedding. The Octopus is nicely decorated, comfy beds, great shower, beautiful kitchen and lots of room to spread out. The kitchen island is very spacious but lacks electric outlets for phones or devices. Parking is great for 3-4 cars but the carport parking area is very dark at night and needs outside lighting. The local property management team (iTrip Key West), has a very nice staff but they were slow to respond with questions or requests. Overall, our trip was filled with great memories in Marathon.

Clean- Nice Place to Stay

House is well laid out for it's size, Property was clean. My only feedback would be to have a house book. As the one who booked, I was constantly referencing emails for rules, check out procedures, etc. Having that info available on the property would be very helpful.
