Inside
Five bedrooms over two floors
Laid out for two or three families traveling together, with the two biggest rooms kept well apart from the rest. Six televisions through the house, a kitchen stocked for cooking real meals rather than reheating them, and all linens and towels provided.
- Master, upstairs King bed, en suite bathroom, and a private balcony off the room
- Junior master, upstairs King bed with a second en suite, so there are two private bathrooms on the top floor rather than one
- Guest bedroom, upstairs Queen bed, sharing the hall bathroom
- Guest bedroom, upstairs Bunk bed with a trundle underneath, sharing that hall bathroom
- Guest bedroom, main level Queen bed, with a full bathroom on the same floor. Both reachable without using the interior staircase
- Living room Queen sleeper sofa
Traveling with little ones? There is a pack and play, a high chair and a baby gate here already, so none of it has to come with you.

Location
The Tides at Vaca Cut, Marathon
Vaca Cut is the channel that runs straight through the island, which is the whole point of being here with a boat. You can be out in the Atlantic or out in the Gulf within minutes of leaving the slip, and you pick which on the day rather than at the planning stage. The community is gated and quiet, and restaurants, the aquarium and a park are close enough to walk to.
- Walking distance Restaurants, Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters, and a park
- Short drive Sombrero Beach and Coco Plum Beach
- 40 minutes Islamorada
- 1 hour Key West
If you are towing, the ramps are at MM54 bayside and MM48.7 bayside. MM48.7 is the easier run, because you can stay on plane until the canal entrance. We recommend having a car while you are in the Keys.
Good to know
Sleeps up to 12. This is a City of Marathon occupancy limit rather than our preference, and it counts everyone staying, including infants and children. The city sets it by bedrooms, two per bedroom plus two, however the beds happen to add up.
Like most waterfront homes in the Keys, this one is up on stilts, so the main living floor is a flight of exterior stairs above ground level. Once you are up on that floor, one bedroom and a full bathroom are on it, reachable without the interior staircase.
One boat, up to 35 feet, in slip 6. Jet skis are welcome too, but if you bring a boat as well it cannot go in the slip. Whips secure the boat at the dock and there is a short video showing how to use them, with the QR code in the notebook at the villa. A broken whip is $500, and that is a genuinely avoidable bill.
Pool heating is $125 per week, plus taxes and processing where applicable. Let us know when you send your guest details and we will send a payment request.
Seven night minimum. Check in from 5pm, check out by 10am.
Cancellation is a full refund if you cancel more than 60 days before arrival. Inside 60 days there is no refund.
No pets, and no smoking anywhere in the house.
