"Fantastic We had an amazing time staying at Jeff and Mary's home. Everything was smooth from the beginning until the end. The home is even better than what we expected. It literally has every thing you could possibly need. We enjoyed sitting outside listening to music around the pool. The kayaks were a lot of fun! I really liked paddling to the end of the inlet and watching the sun go down! The beds were super comfortable and we had plenty of room to mover around. We made some amazing memories and cannot wait to come back! 6/13/2022 at 4:31 PM"

"The property was just what we expected. Easy access to the ocean and quiet neighborhood. We were on a family vacation and needed a boat dock. The property had all the amenities for a great stay. The kids loved the pool and the beds were very comfortable. Manatees swam up to our boat in the canal regularly. 6/14/2022 at 11:49 AM"

"Great vacation spot Beautifully decorated, almost new condition. Lots of amenities. Responsive owners. Very good location. Friendly and helpful neighbors. In water boat slip. What's not to like? Nothing. 2/28/2022 at 2:58 AM"

Great House

"What a great house The house looks brand new. Super clean. We loved the decor, very beachy. If you need anything to enjoy a vacation in the Keys this house has it. If you need information on what to do the owner can help. When ever we had a question the owners responded right away. Super nice people."

Great Vacation Rental

"This vacation rental was great and definitely will rent it again This home was absolutely beautiful and in a perfect location for shopping and out to the open waters to go fishing. Everything was there to accommodate our family. We loved the pool and sitting outside at night on the outdoor sectional couch which was so comfortable. Thank you Jeff and Mary for sharing your awesome home!"

Gorgeous Home Well Appointed

"Beautiful House The house is exactly how it is pictured online, beautifully decorated and very clean. Our favorite spots to hang out were the pool and screened in patio. We appreciated all the little touches that mean a lot; the house was stocked w/ everything we needed (and we replaced what we used), the follow-up call to make sure everything was going well, the fishing advice, the fresh limes (lemons weren't ripe yet) and so much more. The location is very central so you're never too far away from anything. We would definitely stay here again."

Spring Recess 2021

"Spring Recess 2021 This. Place. Was. Awesome! Thank you Jeff and Mary for your hospitality and responsiveness. You are truly Premier Hosts."

Amazing Home !!!

"What an amazing home! My family has been renting vacation properties thru VRBO for many years and have never had a bad experience, however, this one tops them all! The owners have truly thought of everything to make your stay perfect. The house is very clean, beautifully decorated, beds are super-comfortable (even the pull out sofa was comfortable!) and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The pool was amazing (larger than I thought it would be) and certainly the highlight of our stay! Having the kayaks available was great. It was so easy to drop them in the canal and be in the open water within a few minutes. Mary and Jeff were the perfect hosts and readily available for anything we needed. If you are considering this home for your vacation, I couldn't recommend it more. You won't be disappointed! We can't wait to come back! My only regret - I forgot to sign the guest book. To the Owners: we had an amazing vacation! Thank you for sharing your home. My whole family loved every minute of it!"

Relaxing Vacation Home

"Relaxing Vacation Home We really enjoyed our stay, the house was beautiful, clean, very well equipped and comfortable . The heated pool was definitely the highlight of our stay, our children loved it. We brought our 21 foot boat - the docking was easy. And the owners made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to return soon to this paradise!"

Beautiful home in the Florida Keys

"Beautiful home in The Florida Keys with heated pool and visiting manatees Spotless home on canal with very nice heated pool. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. All newly renovated. Screened in porch with TV was welcome on rainy day. Many really good restaurants in Marathon which is why it's our favorite Key. We even got to have fresh lemons from their tree for our tea and fresh limes for our cocktails! We were so lucky to have a manatee family visit us twice. They came right up to the dock and let us pet them"

Marvelous Home and Location

"We loved this house from the moment we walked in! It's simply beautiful with tons and tons of amenities. My son and I are both Celiacs (autoimmune - no gluten) so I do a lot of cooking. The kitchen was wonderful to work in! Fishing was fun out back any time of day (small hooks with cut up frozen shrimp works great!) or even via kayak out toward the end of the canal. The pool was delightful and nice to have to ourselves. Our favorite part of the house was the back porch and restroom/laundry room. We spent a lot of time there hanging out listening to music or watching TV. The beds were super comfy and everything was well equipped. We slept great! I can't say enough wonderful things about the house including the wonderful and timely communication with the owners. Be sure to check out Curry Hammock State Park during high or low tide and fish in the inlet there - watch for gators though if you're wading in the water! Had a great afternoon at the Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters. Went shark fishing (it really was pretty awesome - I was dubious) with our new friends at Sea Squared Charters - Capt. Chris was a lot of fun! Enjoyed a nice meal at the Island Fish Co. at sunset. This was a great house to either stay at and enjoy all day or use as a base point as you explore the Keys. Thank you for sharing it with us! K&C Nagel - Cleveland, OH"

Beautiful House and Location

"Fabulous Owners, Beautiful House and Location We enjoyed our week stay in this lovely house. Booking and communication with owners was flawless. We will definitely be returning guest. We brought our boat and two vehicles and there was plenty of parking for the trailer and vehicles. Easy access to the canal for docking our boat. The pool was so refreshing after a day out on the boat. House has plenty of cooking utensils and appliances. There was nothing that we were missing."

Did not want to leave...

"The house and location are great! We loved jumping off the boat and going right into the pool, in fact the pool was one of our favorite things. The house was stocked very nicely and you are so close to everything. Its fantastic to walk 10-15 steps to your boat and run less than 5 miles to the reef. Jeff and Mary were great hosts with tons of great information and really want to ensure that you enjoy our stay. This was hands down the best vacation rental experiences I have had."

Fabulous Home in Marathon

"This house has everything you need and more. The beds were super comfortable, we loved being so close to the ocean with our boat, the pool was fantastic after fishing every day. We loved the screened in porch! There really isn’t one thing you could ask for. Even the manatees visited us! The house is decorated lovely and completely updated. The owners were communicative and easy. Don’t pass this one up. It’s a great vacation and we’ve been coming to the Keys for years. It’s not a house but a HOME!!"

Anniversary

"Where do I begin. The home was exactly as promised. Beautiful and very comfortable. The back yard was very relaxing and the pool was a good size. We came to fish and the access to the Atlantic was right there. Would we rent again? Most definitely. I highly recommend this home. The owners Mary and Jeff are wonderful. The Keys closed to tourist and we had to reschedule 2x. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with."

Excellent

"Writing this on our last night at LKC. Stunning and well appointed home only a few houses from open Atlantic - and only a few miles from great reef fishing. Quiet street and very safe location. We enjoyed the pool and outdoors living area immensely. Cannot wait to return!!! This trip soothed our souls - especially the pod of manatees that hung out in the canal this afternoon. Loved every minute!!! A beautiful retreat and caring owners, who are exceptional to work with!"

Best Place Ever

"This is the 5th time we've rented in the Keys this place by far was THE best for us.We were impressed with having everything we needed for cooking. Ed took us out fishing one evening top notch. Will be back. Thank you. 03/10/2020 at 12:46 AM"

Gorgeous Home on the Ocean

"This is a gorgeous home packed with everything you need for a restful vacation. The master suite was spacious and the other bedroom was perfect. The shower and laundry room were so handy when coming out of the pool. The living areas and the entire home are decorated beautifully and we had everything we needed, along with great restaurants nearby. Don't hesitate to book this property - it is wonderful. And the owners were so kind and helpful on places to go and things to see. We will be back!"

Flip Flops and Palm Trees and Umbrella Drinks

"The Lemon Key Cottage is stunning. Beautiful in and out that could easily be in the parade of homes as a showcase. I felt like I was at home upon walking in the door. Everything, I mean everything was available as if you were at your own home. The pool is stunning and very large that has great views of the Atlantic Ocean. I can't wait to go back next summer."

WOW! Gorgeous home and perfect location!

"We spent a fabulous week in this gorgeous home - everything you could ask for including a wonderful pool and tons of space to just sit back and relax. Furnishings are top notch and the home is so comfortable. Nice to have 3 bathrooms and the king size bed in master. So close to great places to eat and have a cocktail and only 45 minutes from Key West. Stay here, you won't regret it - we will be back!"

Christmas in Paradise

"My husband and I spend Christmas and New Years at this beautiful canal front home in Marathon. Lemon Key Cottage was the best vacation home that we've ever rented in the Keys. The Home is pristine. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows. The kitchen is beautiful with all new, top notch appliances. The kitchen was very well stocked as was the whole home. Impressive furnishings and loved the shiplap! Watching TV on the lanai in the evenings in January will be my best memory. Loved Lemon Key Cottage. See you next year !!"

Better Homes and Gardens Home in Paradise

"This home would win awards in the Parade of Homes. The standard of furnishings, decorations, color, light, landscaping, and impeccable cleanliness is just stunning. I can tell the owners put a lot of thought and care into this well stocked home. My husband and I spent two weeks at this home and loved every moment. The pool is spotless and large for Keys' standards, and the canal has many fish that we caught. The most relaxing (besides the comfy beds) was the lanai especially at night watching TV. We will definitely be back to Lemon Key Cottage."

Best Vacation Ever

"We absolutely loved staying here at Lemon Key Cottage. The home is right on a canal and has a beautifully-maintained pool right out the back door! The owners take meticulous care of this property, and they show great care in making sure that guests are very comfortable. We didn't have to scramble to run out and buy paper products and necessities right at the beginning of our trip, and they had great recommendations for places to visit. We tried multiple dinner locations they recommended, and we were thrilled with all of them. We had a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to return to this lovely home. Thank you, Jeff and Mary, for the great stay and for helping to make our trip very special!"

Just PERFECT

"Wonderful little house in Marathon. The house well appointed, beds were super comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked for any cooking need. The pool was clean and night lights added an touch when the sun goes down! The house is centrally located to shopping and resturants as well.oeners were quick to respond to any questions we had before our trip. We would definitely stay here again!!"

Absolutely Beautiful in a Great Location

"We loved our stay in this Marathon Florida home. The house is stocked with all the necessities. The pool and outdoor area are great, kayaks, life jackets, and fishing poles are available to use. I found two beaches close by and what is a trip to Florida without spending at least some time on the beach? Oh and I haven’t said my favorite things about this gorgeous house... the screened outdoor area and shower room I could live right there! The owners are wonderful and very helpful with information. Thank you for sharing your home!"

Paradise Found at Lemon Key Cottage

Beautiful Property in Marathon

"This home was absolutely beautiful and fully equipped for our 2 weeks family vacation in Marathon, FL! Docakage was perfect for our boat and pool was great with shaded area too. If your looking to book a place in the Keys, look no further!"

Wonderful Property Lemon Key Cottage

"The cottage is absolutely beautiful. Well equipped, with everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable vacation. The standard of decoration, furniture and fittings is exceptional. A great deal of effort and careful thought has been put into making this a beautiful place to stay. Everything was immaculate, both inside and out. My son especially enjoyed the pool and kayaks ! Its in a super location with great restaurants nearby and easy access to the whole of the Keys. I would strongly recommend this cottage. Mary and Jeff are welcoming and helpful. We would love to return sometime in the future."

WOW.... Lemon Key Cottage is Stunning !

"This is a very clean, fresh and accommodating house. It truly makes you feel at home here and has everything you need. Enjoyed feeding the fish every morning from the dock there's lots of different species to watch. At night we had a crab that liked to hang out with us when we grilled. Got lobster from the next door neighbor, delicious!!! All the neighbors are very friendly in this neighborhood."

Stunning Home in Paradise

"We had a great time at this house. Mary Jo and Jeff put their personal touch on the furnishing and decoration of the house. We felt right at home. Everything in the house is so clean, well equipped and organized. Jeff even called us on day of arrival to make sure everything goes well. The location is close to Sombrero beach, which is one of the top beaches we've been to. Fishing in the canal is fun. Caught some snappers and barracudas, and hooked a couple trigger fish. The outdoor gas grill and the patio table are a plus for spending time by the pool. This house is a great place for rest and relaxation. We were glad that we discovered it. Highly recommend this property."

Great Vacation Home

"This is the perfect house for a keys vacation. The house was exceptionally clean inside and out. We found nothing to be broken or falling apart. All amenities were supplied, all we really needed to bring were our clothes and shower supplies. Canal is a 2 min. boat ride to the Atlantic and centrally located in Marathon. Canal is a clean, water flowing canal so no smelly stagnant water. Owners have great communication. We had a great relaxing vacation here and would recommend this house to anyone."

Amazing Waterfront Home with Lemon and Lime Trees

"Jeff and Mary were kind enough to share their house with us for a week-long vacation in the keys with our two year old son. The house was just right for what we needed. It was clean, sufficiently updated, and very very comfortable! Our son practically lived in the pool the whole time we were there and we loved being able to walk out the door and jump right in our boat, the kayaks, and/or our paddleboard and head straight towards the ocean. We hope to return again soon!"

Book this place now !

"Book this place now! We absolutely loved our stay here. It was our first vacation with an infant and it was the perfect set up for my family. We stayed at the house and pool side just about every day because it was too nice to leave. The house is very close to restaurants, the beach and grocery stores. I would recommend this place to everyone, such a nice and relaxing vacation! 6/9/2022 at 4:57 PM "
