Vacation rentals with a kayak in Key West

We stayed at Frank’s place for two weeks and had an absolutely amazing time! The house was spotless, well-equipped, and super practical for our two energetic little ones. The pool and hot tub were perfect. We made the most of every sunset soaking in the hot tub, followed by peaceful late-night floats in the pool under clear, starry skies. We fished off the jetty most days and caught barracuda, mangrove snapper, plenty of sharks—and the neighbors even hooked a tarpon and landed a grouper! The kids loved snorkeling right off the dock, spotting rays, turtles, and loads of colorful fish. We missed the manatees when they came by one morning, but luckily caught up with them later while kayaking through the mangroves. Huge thanks to Frank for being such a fantastic host. One day we had a small issue with the pool, and his team showed up in under 10—absolutely amazing service. We truly didn’t want to leave and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Naomi’s place. The place was perfect for our family of 4. There was so much to do to keep our active family busy. The house was well stocked with everything you may need for meals. Host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We rented a boat and the dock was perfect for storing. We are looking forward to staying here again on our next visit to the keys!

Beautiful views and great spaces! We’ve stayed in Marathon several times in different canal houses with our family of 7, and this property is now our new favorite. We couldn’t get enough of all the beautiful views from sunrise to sunset whether it was on the porch, in the pool, or out by the Tiki Hut. Every bedroom has water views as well. Boat access was an easy out to snorkeling, diving, fishing, or whatever you like to do. There are two kayaks for use, which made for some nice outings to explore the immediate area. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, and even had an extra under-the-counter ice machine. We had a great time here, and would stay again. Thank you to the owners for sharing your property.

This place was great. We close our business down every year for a week so staff can get away and every year some join us for a getaway. This year we came here, the Dolfan house was awesome. The view was amazing and having a boat dock to park the rental boat made it all the better. Idaho’s # 1 steakhouse (Wolf Lodge Steakhouse) will be back next year. Thank You

Absolutely amazing! Tanya’s Airbnb was the perfect venue for our wedding. The space was stunning, beautifully maintained, and created the most magical atmosphere for our special day. Tanya and Lana were incredible hosts—responsive, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful setting and how comfortable the stay was. If you’re looking for a dreamy location with a fantastic host, this is it! Highly recommend! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

Great attached townhome/duplex with privacy fence between the other side. Great private pool just on the canal! The bottom story was perfect for extended family to have privacy but still be close! We even saw a manatee in the canal.

This was the most perfect Airbnb for our vacation. First of all, Marathon is the perfect location if you are looking to explore multiple parts of the Keys. 1 hour to Key Largo, 1 hour to Key West. We could not have asked for a better location. The home looks just like the photos and was perfect for our family of 4 + our pup. The beds were comfortable, the living space had plenty of room for our crew, but the real show stopper was the pool. If we weren't out and about exploring the Keys, we were definitely in/by the pool! A few added bonuses: (1) K-cups for our use for that first morning. This kept us from having to worry about an emergency grocery store trip the evening of our arrival (2) pool floats available for our use (3) bikes & kayaks for everyone (4) EVERYTHING. We couldn't have asked for better - we will definitely be back!

Great place. We would definitely stay here again and again! While not directly on the water there is still access to the water. There was ample air conditioning. Clean and well equipped. Danilo was great and he went above and beyond to be helpful! We heard that the owner was developing across the road so we look forward to seeing that progress.

Very clean and hosts are very responsive. Couldn't find the toaster that was listed. Nice to have beach towels to use for the pool located next door or when going to the beach. Enjoyed having a cooler, beach chairs and umbrella to use for a beach outing. Loved the backyard with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs however the highway runs right behind it and it was a bit noisy. The pool next door was very clean and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and the recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area.

It was great! Everything was as amazing!

We stayed for 11 nights at Wendy's beautiful home. We had everything we needed for our entire stay. The area is very quiet and peaceful. It was so lovely walking up on the water and enjoying breakfast outside. Extra touches like having bikes and kayaks to use were also sooo nice! Wendy was very helpful with local spots to check out as well. We will definitely be back!

Great stay!!

What an amazing stay!! The campground was so peaceful and tucked away from everyday reality. This trip was a much needed escape from our everyday life! The cottage was very new and clean and came with all the amenity’s needed to enjoy all the local beaches. The host was great and responded immediately with any questions we had. We will for sure be back again :)

We loved staying here for the two nights we were on the Keys. The patio outside was great for looking at the stars or sipping coffee and watching manatees. We would definitely return!

Cute spot! There’s a small store nearby if you didn’t bring soap or shampoo. Pools are heated and close by. Beautiful beaches 30 minutes away by car and Duval st if you’re into nightlife. Was very quiet area so if you have loud kids like we did then reconsider haha but overall we had a great time!

Leeann’s place exceeded our expectations! She was incredibly responsive to any concerns or inquiries we had throughout our stay. The added perk of access to Glunz Beach Resort with its beach, pool, and gym made our experience even more delightful. The house was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you, Leeann!
