  • Two kayaks  Straight off the dock and into the canal
  • For the fishing  Fish cleaning station, and 15 to 20 minutes down the canal to open water
  • Balcony  Second floor, looking down the canal, good for the sunrise and the sunset both

The yard is fenced and belongs to this side of the villa.

Location

Angler's at Sombrero, Marathon

Sombrero Beach Road at mile marker 50, which is about as central as Marathon gets. The grocery store is barely a minute away in one direction and the neighborhood beach is down the street in the other, oceanfront and sandy, which is a rare thing in the Keys. The road has a sidewalk the whole way down to it.

  • About a minute  Grocery store
  • Down the street  Sombrero Beach, with Coco Plum Beach close by
  • 5 to 10 minutes  Restaurants and things to do around Marathon
  • 15 to 20 minutes  Open water, if you are heading out by boat
  • About an hour  Key West

A car makes life a lot easier while you are down here.

Good to know

This villa is one half of a duplex. The boat slip is yours for the stay, up to 30 feet, and it is one of two on a 60 foot dock, so the home next door ties up alongside. The pool, the hot tub and the yard are yours alone.

Like most waterfront homes in the Keys, this one is built up on stilts, so the main living floor is a flight of exterior stairs above ground level. There is a bedroom and a full bathroom on the first floor, which is worth knowing if stairs are hard work for anyone in the group.

Sleeps up to 10. This is a city occupancy limit rather than our preference, and it counts everyone staying, including infants and children.

Pool heating is $150 per week plus taxes and card processing, prorated on longer stays. Let us know before you arrive and we will have it ready.

Up to two dogs are welcome, subject to breed approval, at $75 per dog plus tax and processing. We may ask for a refundable damage deposit.

Cancellation is a full refund if you cancel more than 60 days before arrival. Inside 60 days there is no refund.

The primary renter must be 30 or over. Children and infants are very welcome, and there is no smoking. Damage insurance is bought at the time of booking.
