Beach House Waterfront, Private Pool, Boat Dock on Gulf with Amazing Sunsets! draws praise for its quiet, private setting on Grassy Key, a gorgeous pool and landscaped grounds, a dock with wildlife views, and a central location near Marathon.
Guests often highlight responsive communication and easy check in, with many repeat stays. Common drawbacks include seasonal sea grass and odors on the small beach, biting insects, and occasional issues with pool or cookware cleanliness; some also note that sunsets are not directly over open water. A calm Keys escape for relaxation.

Facilities
Pool and dock are standout features, and the landscaped grounds are well maintained; kayaks are provided and many guests enjoy fishing and wildlife viewing from the pier. Seasonal sea grass can collect along the shoreline and produce odors, which can limit beach use.

Loved the house and location! It was well stocked with everything we needed...pool floats, beach towels, kayaks etc. The pool area was the prettiest I've seen in any vacation house we've stayed in. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the property manager. Would definitely stay here again!

We have rented many VRBOs over the years, and this one is by far the best one we've had. The quiet location off the road, and near Marathon, made it easy to get to restaurants, groceries, shopping and more! If you want to be in the middle keys, this is the place! From the moment we walked in the door, we were in awe. The view is just amazing! Still can't stop looking at our pics. The deck, with plenty of seating, and a grill, were used daily to enjoy lazy mornings and tasty dinners. So many fish were caught on the dock, and we appreciated the frozen bait provided. We used the Kayaks and the pool daily. The landscaping was spectacular and well maintained. We could have easily spent the entire week at the house with all the amenities! The interior was spotless and everything was in working order. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, we slept easy after returning from our days exploring. It was a dream to stay here and we will cherish the memories for years to come!

House, location, overall quality of the home was great, but what is up with the seaweed? There was no white sand as seen in the pictures, only seaweed, and a lot of it. It was so thick you couldn't rake it with any ease whatsoever, and it stunk like a swamp! The views...amazing. The pool and landscape...wonderful. The property manager was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. We will return if the beach is better taken care of.

Our stay was very nice... the house was very well stocked; communication with property manager was prompt and very helpful. Loved sitting on the porch or the chairs on the grass (no other outdoor seating out of the sun). The grounds were very well kept and beautiful... the grass yard was gorgeous and quite rare for the Keys. We did get bit by no-see-ums, and the turtle grass was quite thick on the beach. This made it not so fun to launch kayaks. There really is no other way to do it for 'old folks', but to go right through it (sinking almost knee deep). I have to say, it did dissuade us from using them more. The kayaks were definitely used, and the fleet could use a 'refresh'. There seems to be resident turtles off the dock that made daily appearances. Also, I have to say, it was great having bathrooms off of each bedroom (ideal for 2 couples travelling together).

We have stayed at this property since 2011. She feels like home every time we come. The pictures of the property are accurate. No, you cannot see the sun set on the water, but after it goes down the sky is simply amazing! Breath taking!! The grounds & pool are well maintained. We were visited every day by a turtle off the pier. Saw some sting rays too! Already booked for next year!!

This is a wonderful property. Very clean, spacious, perfect spot in the middle of the Keys. Plenty of activities around this area. We kayaked with the kayaks provided, we swam and snorkeled around the dock and beyond. The pool area was gorgeous as well. The peace and serenity the property provided was immeasurable. I highly recommend this property!

We had a lovely time in Grassy Key. This home was probably one of the best appointed homes I’ve stayed in. It seemed to have just about everything. The views are spectacular. Large windows to take in all the sights. The yard had amazing landscaping. Great location if you want to travel north or south. This is not the fault of the owner, but staying on Grassy Key comes with its downsides. As the name suggests the sea grass washes in and with it can be a terrible odor from time to time. While the pier and fishing dock are a great asset to the home the amount of bird droppings made it difficult to enjoy that.

This place is paradise, and we didn't want to leave. Its simply perfect. The listing and photos are accurate, communication leading up to the stay was great, check-in was a breeze, and WOW what a view. House and grounds were clean and immaculately kept up. We loved the pool, and views at the end of the dock. From the dock we saw mangrove snapper, barracuda, small nurse sharks, rays, lobsters and more... Its a great quiet location, close enough to everything, yet felt like you were miles away from all the stresses of the world. We can't wait to come back soon.

My wife and I stayed here and enjoyed our time due to how private and secluded the location and neighborhood is. However, there were a few things that really made us wonder if the property was being kept up with. First off, the pool looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week when we arrived with multiple iguana poops in it. My wife and I didn’t feel comfortable going into the water even after the pool crew came as they didn’t really do anything to sterilize. We found multiple dirty dishes left from previous guests in the dishwasher and a cockroach in the oven mitts running around. Mold was in both the coffee machines so we refrained from using them at any point. Overall, the house needs some work and more attention from the cleaning staff.

“Amazing Sunsets” we never saw as the sun set in the West, not in front of us which pictures present. Sometimes got a bit of pink in the sky. “Gourmet” kitchen it was not. Had to wash most pots and pans before using and some were not usable at all. Unfortunately we had lots of smelly seaweed on beach and very noisy screaming children all day long next door in pool. House is in need of lots of attention. It was not the vacation we saved for and hoped for. Quite expensive for the value. One positive is that the location is quite good, close to many good restaurants and Marathon.

Our family of 4 enjoyed a great week at this beautiful property. The views are spectacular. We spent a lot of time on the pier reading and fishing. Fishing was great off the end of the pier using live shrimp. The no-see-um bugs were quite active in the sand, so we spent much of our outdoor time on the pier and deck. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.

Nothing bad at all about our stay or the property except we think it would be better to have more silverware but well stocked with everything else. However, we do have a concern for those renting the property in the future that as you approach the entryway at the front door there is about a two inch gray step up that blends in with porch slats at entrance. Therefore , one can easily trip coming or leaving even with the light on. We are concerned that this could potentially be a liability to the owner. Thanks for a great time and the beautiful property. What you see in the pictures and when you get there are identical. That was a first for us and we were pleasantly surprised. Wonderful time and Wonderful property! The Desderio’s

Our stay was very nice... the house was very well stocked; communication with property manager was prompt and very helpful. Loved sitting on the porch or the chairs on the grass (no other outdoor seating out of the sun). The grounds were very well kept and beautiful... the grass yard was gorgeous and quite rare for the Keys. We did get bit by no-see-ums, and the turtle grass was quite thick on the beach. This made it not so fun to launch kayaks. There really is no other way to do it for 'old folks', but to go right through it (sinking almost knee deep). I have to say, it did dissuade us from using them more. The kayaks were definitely used, and the fleet could use a 'refresh'. There seems to be resident turtles off the dock that made daily appearances. Also, I have to say, it was great having bathrooms off of each bedroom (ideal for 2 couples travelling together).

We had a lovely time in Grassy Key. This home was probably one of the best appointed homes I’ve stayed in. It seemed to have just about everything. The views are spectacular. Large windows to take in all the sights. The yard had amazing landscaping. Great location if you want to travel north or south. This is not the fault of the owner, but staying on Grassy Key comes with its downsides. As the name suggests the sea grass washes in and with it can be a terrible odor from time to time. While the pier and fishing dock are a great asset to the home the amount of bird droppings made it difficult to enjoy that.

Our family of 4 enjoyed a great week at this beautiful property. The views are spectacular. We spent a lot of time on the pier reading and fishing. Fishing was great off the end of the pier using live shrimp. The no-see-um bugs were quite active in the sand, so we spent much of our outdoor time on the pier and deck.

Loved the house and location! It was well stocked with everything we needed...pool floats, beach towels, kayaks etc. The pool area was the prettiest I've seen in any vacation house we've stayed in. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the property manager. Would definitely stay here again!

We have rented many VRBOs over the years, and this one is by far the best one we've had. The quiet location off the road, and near Marathon, made it easy to get to restaurants, groceries, shopping and more! If you want to be in the middle keys, this is the place! From the moment we walked in the door, we were in awe. The view is just amazing! Still can't stop looking at our pics. The deck, with plenty of seating, and a grill, were used daily to enjoy lazy mornings and tasty dinners. So many fish were caught on the dock, and we appreciated the frozen bait provided. We used the Kayaks and the pool daily. The landscaping was spectacular and well maintained. We could have easily spent the entire week at the house with all the amenities! The interior was spotless and everything was in working order. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, we slept easy after returning from our days exploring. It was a dream to stay here and we will cherish the memories for years to come!

House, location, overall quality of the home was great, but what is up with the seaweed? There was no white sand as seen in the pictures, only seaweed, and a lot of it. It was so thick you couldn't rake it with any ease whatsoever, and it stunk like a swamp! The views...amazing. The pool and landscape...wonderful. The property manager was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. We will return if the beach is better taken care of.

The location of the house and house itself were excellent!!! However, we went in August and house is somewhat secluded, which is also part of its charm. But it meant that the ants and no-see-ums were a constant nuisance, lots of bugs in the pool daily, and the seaweed had the beach swarming with sand fleas. All that said, my family and I had a great time. The pier, the sunsets, and morning were spectacular EVERY day. The fishing was great - snapper to small fish to tarpon. Also the location was great - 15min from everything in Marathon, about an 90min from Key West, and only 90min from Key Largo. Property manager was also great. thank you Holli !! We will happily return, maybe in the cooler months.

Our stay was very nice... the house was very well stocked; communication with property manager was prompt and very helpful. Loved sitting on the porch or the chairs on the grass (no other outdoor seating out of the sun). The grounds were very well kept and beautiful... the grass yard was gorgeous and quite rare for the Keys. We did get bit by no-see-ums, and the turtle grass was quite thick on the beach. This made it not so fun to launch kayaks. There really is no other way to do it for 'old folks', but to go right through it (sinking almost knee deep). I have to say, it did dissuade us from using them more. The kayaks were definitely used, and the fleet could use a 'refresh'. There seems to be resident turtles off the dock that made daily appearances. Also, I have to say, it was great having bathrooms off of each bedroom (ideal for 2 couples travelling together).

This place is paradise, and we didn't want to leave. Its simply perfect. The listing and photos are accurate, communication leading up to the stay was great, check-in was a breeze, and WOW what a view. House and grounds were clean and immaculately kept up. We loved the pool, and views at the end of the dock. From the dock we saw mangrove snapper, barracuda, small nurse sharks, rays, lobsters and more... Its a great quiet location, close enough to everything, yet felt like you were miles away from all the stresses of the world. We can't wait to come back soon.

This is a wonderful property. Very clean, spacious, perfect spot in the middle of the Keys. Plenty of activities around this area. We kayaked with the kayaks provided, we swam and snorkeled around the dock and beyond. The pool area was gorgeous as well. The peace and serenity the property provided was immeasurable. I highly recommend this property!

My wife and I stayed here and enjoyed our time due to how private and secluded the location and neighborhood is. However, there were a few things that really made us wonder if the property was being kept up with. First off, the pool looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week when we arrived with multiple iguana poops in it. My wife and I didn’t feel comfortable going into the water even after the pool crew came as they didn’t really do anything to sterilize. We found multiple dirty dishes left from previous guests in the dishwasher and a cockroach in the oven mitts running around. Mold was in both the coffee machines so we refrained from using them at any point. Overall, the house needs some work and more attention from the cleaning staff.

“Amazing Sunsets” we never saw as the sun set in the West, not in front of us which pictures present. Sometimes got a bit of pink in the sky. “Gourmet” kitchen it was not. Had to wash most pots and pans before using and some were not usable at all. Unfortunately we had lots of smelly seaweed on beach and very noisy screaming children all day long next door in pool. House is in need of lots of attention. It was not the vacation we saved for and hoped for. Quite expensive for the value. One positive is that the location is quite good, close to many good restaurants and Marathon.

We had a lovely time in Grassy Key. This home was probably one of the best appointed homes I’ve stayed in. It seemed to have just about everything. The views are spectacular. Large windows to take in all the sights. The yard had amazing landscaping. Great location if you want to travel north or south. This is not the fault of the owner, but staying on Grassy Key comes with its downsides. As the name suggests the sea grass washes in and with it can be a terrible odor from time to time. While the pier and fishing dock are a great asset to the home the amount of bird droppings made it difficult to enjoy that.

Nothing bad at all about our stay or the property except we think it would be better to have more silverware but well stocked with everything else. However, we do have a concern for those renting the property in the future that as you approach the entryway at the front door there is about a two inch gray step up that blends in with porch slats at entrance. Therefore , one can easily trip coming or leaving even with the light on. We are concerned that this could potentially be a liability to the owner. Thanks for a great time and the beautiful property. What you see in the pictures and when you get there are identical. That was a first for us and we were pleasantly surprised. Wonderful time and Wonderful property! The Desderio’s

Our stay was very nice... the house was very well stocked; communication with property manager was prompt and very helpful. Loved sitting on the porch or the chairs on the grass (no other outdoor seating out of the sun). The grounds were very well kept and beautiful... the grass yard was gorgeous and quite rare for the Keys. We did get bit by no-see-ums, and the turtle grass was quite thick on the beach. This made it not so fun to launch kayaks. There really is no other way to do it for 'old folks', but to go right through it (sinking almost knee deep). I have to say, it did dissuade us from using them more. The kayaks were definitely used, and the fleet could use a 'refresh'. There seems to be resident turtles off the dock that made daily appearances. Also, I have to say, it was great having bathrooms off of each bedroom (ideal for 2 couples travelling together).

The house was nice but the rotting Seaweed all over the beach made the stay less than desirable. No fault of the owners or house. We picked the wrong time of year. Smelled like rotten eggs and two of us got bad rashes from the water. Totally our fault for not doing better Reasearch. House was nice just wrong time of year.

Overall, the trip was great. We had two issues which led to a little disappointment. The first issue was the beach. The beach was covered in decaying grass which made access to the water difficult. With the wind nearly always blowing towards the house, the smell was a little off-putting. Obviously, this is nature and difficult to prevent, but others should be aware. The second issue was the dock. It was not made clear in the listing that docking a boat here was not advisable. We had rented a boat but were unable to dock here and had to leave it at the rental. Otherwise, the property is beautiful and as listed. Very quiet.
