Enjoy morning coffee or stunning sunsets on the patio or poolside, with only the landscaped yard and boat dock separating you from the water.
Dock/Pier/Boathouse: The 110-foot deep-water dock features dock lights, 15-amp electric (with 30-50 amp available at extra cost), a large fish cleaning station, and outbound mooring pylons for larger boats. With direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, it’s only a short boat ride to the Vaca Cut or 7 Mile Bridge for Atlantic Ocean adventures, including world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving. A private boathouse provides storage for fishing and dive gear, and a full-size bait freezer is available for guests. We’ve thought of everything, including a gas grill to cook up your catch of the day!
Boat Ramp: There are several nearby boat ramps, with one of the best located just down the street at 33rd Street on the Gulf side. It’s only ½ mile by water back to our dock. Boat fuel is available at a nearby fuel dock, also just ½ mile away.

Area Attractions: Turtle Cove Escape is conveniently located near popular attractions such as the Turtle Hospital, Crane Museum, Aquarium Encounters, and Dolphin Research Center, all just minutes away. Marathon is the ideal location for a Keys vacation. Situated in the heart of the Florida Keys, it’s a short drive to Key West, where you can enjoy local haunts and the famous sunset at Mallory Square. Stop along the way for mini-golf at Boondocks or head in the other direction to explore John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo, just 45 minutes away. Marathon has it all—shopping, restaurants, bars, marinas, bait & tackle shops, dive shops, and more.
Beaches: You’re just a few minutes away from the best beaches in the Florida Keys, including Sombrero Beach and Bahia Honda State Park. Rent this home and have your “toes in the sand” in no time!
Seasonal Seaweed Notice: Like much of the Florida Keys, our canal can experience seaweed at certain times of the year. On the ocean side, this usually happens in summer while gulf-side canals see it more in winter. It’s a natural part of the area and may affect the canal during your stay, especially if you’re staying in the winter months.
