Great location with a short boat ride out into the Atlantic. Very nice accommodations. No complaints at all. Everything we needed was onsite upon arrival. Look forward to returning.
Great month long stay. Perfect location. Loved the house, heated pool and boat dock. Quiet and relaxing. Biking to the beach was a breeze. Couple things - downstairs bathroom fan/light didn't work and there was no furniture on upper deck. While the kayaks were appreciated, bikes would be better, as you can bike everywhere in Marathon.
We had a wonderful stay at the Snorkel Shack. The 4 bedrooms are quite large and well equipped. They even had a pack and play available for my 1 year old. We were able to make several meals using their beautiful kitchen and outdoor grill. The beach was a 20 minute walk or short drive as well. Overall, it is a great place for a family vacation that included grandparents.
This is a big house. We really enjoyed and appreciated the size of the bedrooms and the size of the common areas (including the large outside areas). It was also really great to have three full baths which gave everyone their own private spaces. We also really enjoyed the pool. The pool is located on the side of the house and has full sun most of the day.The house is conveniently located. It is within walking distance to Sombrero beach and Publix, without being on busy Sombrero Beach Road. The garage area was great for storage. It has a second refrigerator that was great for storing drinks and there were also many pool toys available for use.The only downside was that there were no beach chairs or beach umbrellas available for use. It was a bit of a surprise to us given how close the house is to the beach. Great stay in a really great area.
