Florida Keys Home Has it All! Open Gulf Access/Waterfront/Dock/Pool/Spa/Sleeps 8

We really enjoyed our stay at Catch of the Day. It is perfectly located. Has wonderful views. Plenty of dock space. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Greg and Melinda could not be more friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great vacation.

Great house. Best location on the island!

Enjoyed the property and location for boating.

Had a fantastic time. Everything u need is within 5-10mins. Dock was great, fished off it everyday. Would rent/stay again! Owners are great people.

Our visit to Marathon was outstanding, made possible by staying at Catch of the Day. The home is beautiful, accommodating, clean and comfortable for 5 us. We brought our boat and the dock was perfect with easy access not just to the Gulf but 15 minutes to the Atlantic. The owners were great, informative, helpful! Would love to come again!

Greg and Melinda are terrific to work with. They allowed us to ship our fishing rods to them prior to our arrival and when they didn't arrive (thanks USPS), Greg was gracious enough to loan us fishing poles. They also worked with us on our arrival time as we had a few stops along the way from the Ft. Lauderdale airport. (Hint - we flew into Ft. Lauderdale and out of Miami, and rented a car from Ft. Lauderdale, returning to Miami, and both the airfare and rental car were cheaper than flying in and out of the same airport.) The house is large enough for the whole family. The beds were super comfy, the kitchen well stocked, the washer and dryer definitely came in handy, as well as the outdoor grill. We used the grill almost daily. Greg and Melinda even had disposable pans for use on the grill. The hot tub and pool were sparkling clean and we basked in the sunshine on the lounge chairs provided. Although we did not have our boat, the dock is large and if you rent jet skis or kayaks, you are in the gulf in a few minutes. My husband also had fun fishing on the dock. I think one of the best parts of the house is the covered deck right outside the kitchen that runs the length of the back of the house. There is a dining table and chairs and we ate most meals out on the deck in order to enjoy the view and the perfect weather. There are also a table and chairs that look out from the front of the house, and we sat there and enjoyed our morning coffee and watched the sun coming up. I would highly recommend Greg and Melinda's house. It's conveniently located to lots of restaurants and shopping and fishing, yet on a dead end street that is very quiet. We had a wonderful stay and we definitely want to return. You couldn't ask for better owners to work with, either. We appreciated how easy it was to communicate with them, before, during and after our stay.

Outstanding the house was excellent. The pool was awesome perfect for fishing and relaxing Gregg and Millinda were awesome hosts

For the past 8 years our family has been renting a vacation home in Marathon to celebrate Xmas and bring in the New Year. Each time we have found a place along the Atlantic coast, in accommodations ranging from 6 to 20 guests. This year we decided to try Gulf Coast side, since our family gathering was expected to be smaller than previous years. What first caught our attention about Greg and Melinda’s home was the easy access and view of the Gulf of Mexico. The addition of a heated pool and hot tub sold it for my daughter. The house layout and 360 degree upper deck/porch did it for my wife. When we first arrived, Greg and Melinda were waiting for us to provide a guided tour of their home. It was easy to tell from our conversation and the presentation of the home that they take great pride in creating an enjoyable atmosphere for their guests. We, however, had already experienced their generous hospitality months before we arrived. Our small family gathering quickly started to grow to the point that the property could no longer accommodate everyone. After expressing our dilemma to Greg and Melinda, they volunteered to contact and visit the local hotels in Marathon to find us additional lodging. Within two days they were back in contact with us providing various options and rates below seasonal pricing. The majority of my time was spent fishing off the boat dock, that extends the length of the property. We did book two charter fishing trips: one was fishing the flats and the other was fishing the sunken wrecks. Both trips were in the Gulf, because the wind and waves were too high and strong in the Atlantic while we were there. Another blessing for being on the Gulf Coast side this year. After the charters we were cooking fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner which we enjoyed serving outside on the upper deck dining table. Because of the view and gentle breeze along the upper deck, it became our common gathering place for meals, conversation, reading, and nightly board games. During the warm afternoons the younger family members would splash away their time in the heated pool, while the older folks tended towards the hot tub. The central location of the house in Marathon made excursions to the local nature attractions very easy. This year we visited the Florida Keys Aquarium Encounter, Crane Point Museum, and the Turtle Hospital. Over all this was probably our best vacation to Marathon. Thank you for providing the place to make it happen.

We decided on the Florida Keys for our annual brothers and wives trip this year. We took our trip in the first week of January 2019 and wanted to explore up and down the Keys area, so the Catch of the Day home in Marathon was the perfect, central location. The home had everything we needed for our stay, plenty of towels, paper supplies and kitchen utensils. The accommodations were awesome with a wrap around deck to enjoy all the views, our own private pool and a brand new, hot tub that was very relaxing! The owners, Greg and Melinda, keep their house very clean and well maintained. They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and had many great recommendations for restaurants. Thank you to Greg and Melinda for a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation!

Greg and Melinda's home provided my family with a very good impression of what staying in the Florida Keys for a vacation should feel like.the landscaping around the home, the home's location, the homes amenities, like the heated swimming pool, the new hot tub, fishing from the 60-foot dock into the canal, the wraparound porch of the home, and the large covered deck in the back of the home to eat breakfast or dinner or just lounge, all were added comfort to our stay at"Catch of the day". Well done Greg and Melinda thank you!

This was our second visit to Marathon. When my husband found this house on HomeAway he immediately fell in love with it. It had everything we wanted. The pool, the hot tub, and the most important of all the dock. We reserved a boat before we got there, so all we had to do was get settled in, head down the road a couple of miles and in no time the boat was sitting right in our backyard. We all did a lot of fishing and some days the boys went out and us girls just hung and relaxed by the pool. We took a day trip to Key West, watched the sunset at the Sunset Grill, took a ride to Islamorada. There is so much to do. The house was perfect. So clean, fully stocked kitchen, exactly as described. Thank you Greg and Melinda for sharing your beautiful home!!

The owners were especially courteous and helpful, among other things buying new beach chairs when we asked about them. Marathon has a plethora of funky fun and good restaurants, and at least two beautiful beaches.
