Great holiday!
5/5 Stars

We had a fantastic time there - two families: 4 adults and 4 kids. I reckon we could have had double that and still been fine! The accommodation was large with lots of separate but big areas - great mix of external and internal rooms, facilities were great too. The pool and tiki area encouraged a very relaxed approach to things and the kids practically lived in the pool. The temptation was to stay in the whole time and we cooked in a lot - especially with the fish that we caught using the boat we hired and docked "in the back garden". The kayaks drawn up on the lawn were a nice touch too. Very few bugs & great weather in April. We did get out to some restaurants, down to Key West with some parasailing, scuba and snuba thrown in. We would definitely stay again and were kicking ourselves for not arranging a longer stay! Highly recommended.
Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Great accommodations!
5/5 Stars

Great vacation destination. Super accommodating for a large group. All on one level with lots of privacy. Multiple families have their own space. Very comfortable house with lots of beds and sitting areas. The pool area is wonderful. BIG pool and the hammock is a favorite napping spot under the tiki hut which offers lots of shade. (May need to start a sign-up sheet for time slots:). Screened-in porches are awesome for escaping the bugs, although there weren't many bugs while we were there. The dock area is very nice too. Easy to throw a line in from the dock. Super for having your own boat - or 3 boats. Great waterfront and dock space. Perfect canal for kayaking. The kitchen is roomy and functional. We cooked in most of the time and it is stocked well. The grocery store is a quick drive away. Nice, quiet neighborhood and a nice walk to the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

A thoroughly happy vacation was enjoyed by all for one week at this home on Marathon Key. The house is large, well furnished and the staff was very pleasant and attentive. The pool was perfect and the boys were happy fishing. The house is arranged so that the night owls have plenty of play space and the early risers can have their space too. The neighborhood was wonderful and convenient to Publix and plenty of restaurants as needed. We spent most of our evenings grilling by the pool and even enjoyed a trip to Key West one day which was perfect but everyone was most happy at Tiki Time. Obviously, we will return!

Booking was easy and the staff was very responsive. We had a late addition change and they took care of it immediately. My family and I stayed at this property 6 years ago and we liked the space. With such a large group we had plenty of room for everyone and the location was great. The biggest surprise this time was the many upgrades that were made. It made the house more inviting and the stay more comfortable. The pool area is great and the tiki area was wonderful too. It allowed you to stay out the sun and it was a great area to eat as well. Everyone in the family enjoyed it.

House was a perfect choice for a crowd. You thought of everything to make our stay pleasant. The numerous beach towels were fabulous. The decore was beachy and fun. No too fancy to make us uncomfortable and nervous about bring in sand and sitting on furnature. We were all adults and respectful of the property, but felt comfortable hanging out there.
