Oceanfront Tiny Villa in the Heart of the FL Keys | House in Marathon

Summary:
Welcome to your happy place in the beautiful Florida Keys! Our oceanfront villa is located on Duck Key right outside of Marathon and next to the world famous Hawks Cay Resort. Halfway between Key Largo and Key West, it’s the perfect location to explore all our island paradise has to offer. Enjoy world class fishing, diving and snorkeling or kick back with a cold beverage and enjoy a stunning sunset on one of our covered porches. And always remember…it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!!
The Space:
Right when you enter the villa, you are greeted by an abundance of day (or shall we say sun) light. Downstairs you find the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and everything you need to prepare a delicious home cooked meal (with all the world class dining options around you might not want to though). The open kitchen leads to the living room with rustic beach decor, ocean views, smart TV, games and covered porch to soak in that sun(-set). There is an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach or a swim in the ocean (which is right outside your back door) and there is a half bath downstairs. A short flight of stairs takes you to the master bedroom with separate covered porch and home office nook, a second bedroom with washer/dryer combo and a shared full bath.
