All updated home with very accomodating living arrangements. Perfect for our family of 6 (4 children 7,5,3,& 1) 180 degree panoramic ocean view while on the porch, eating at the dining room table and/or inside on the couch. The swimming pool is a bit small, but nicely appointed, well maintained, and kept warm. The tidal pool is the crowning touch. The weekly rental was reasonable and the local boat rental was convenient. Our only disappointment was that it seemed we were the first people in the house for some time so there was a bit of setting up left for us to do, and there was bird poop all over the deck and deck furniture. This house stands out in the immediate ocean side area and we would DEFINITELY recommend staying!! More...

If you're looking for a view of sunrises and sunsets, this is the place. The home was well equipped, convenient to shops and restaurants yet in a quiet area. Perfect for getting to the reef quickly but you have to have local knowledge. We'll be back!

We stayed at thi wonderful house for the month of Feb and absolutely loved it. We spent a lot of time on the upper balcony and in the heated swimming pool.The house is tastefully decorated and clean. It has everything you need. Just bring your clothes.
We enjoyed the stay so much that we are renting again for four weeks in 2010. We love Marathon as well. More...

Plenty of room for a family of 7. Great veiws all the way around. Confortable,clean, plenty of outside space around pool, grounds and fishing. The whole area was awesome.
Fishing,swimming and relaxing made it easy just to stay there all week.
Kitchen has everything, bedrooms and bathrooms nice....love watching the sun come up in the morning.
Lots of birds to watch.
Lots of places to eat close by.
Would come back, I felt it was my home away from home.

We stayed at the rental before the new pool was put in so we only had use of the tidal pool. That was so much fun for all of us! We felt comfortable letting the kids go in there to snorkle and explore without worrying they would swept away by a current or something worse!(us adults would have definitely enjoyed the pool tho!) The house accomodated all of us perfectly and we never felt cramped at all. It was clean but dated at the time we were there. Since they added the pool, they may have updated the place a little bit. We spent a lot of time on the back porch BBQing, snacking and just hanging out. Sunsets were phenomenal! There was also plenty to do in the area with or without the kids. We brought the boat with us and kept it at the dock for easy fishing access (which was great!)
All in all, we would love to go back, but will have to wait until the economy picks back up!
Some advice would be to bring coolers because there was no fridge downstairs for when you're relaxing at the pools and it took the upstairs fridge a few days to catch up. More...
