Canal-Front Keys Retreat Near Sombrero Beach

This elevated A-frame retreat in Marathon offers a classic Florida Keys escape designed for relaxed family living, outdoor adventure, and effortless access to both beach and water. Set on stilts along a quiet canal, the two-story home blends laid-back charm with thoughtful amenities, creating a setting where days revolve around sunshine, salt air, and time spent outdoors.

The main living level features an open-concept great room that brings together the living area, dining space, and a fully stocked modern kitchen. This central gathering space flows naturally onto a large deck overlooking the canal and private pool, making it easy to move between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment. Whether preparing meals at home or returning with fresh local seafood, the kitchen is well equipped for casual, vacation-style dining.

Sleeping accommodations are well suited for families or groups of up to eight.

On the main level, two additional bedrooms, one with a queen bed and another with two twin beds, share a full bathroom, providing comfort and flexibility for guests of all ages.

Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. A private heated pool anchors the backyard, surrounded by a spacious deck, tropical tiki hut, and a fully fenced yard ideal for pets. The private deep-water dock provides direct ocean access via Sister Creek and is outfitted with a fish cleaning table and bait freezer, making it a natural base for anglers and boaters. Complimentary bikes and kayaks invite guests to explore both land and water at an easy, island pace.

Just a short walk or bike ride away, Sombrero Beach offers one of Marathon’s most beloved stretches of sand, known for its snorkeling, diving, and family-friendly amenities. With generous parking for vehicles and trailers, a gas grill for outdoor meals, and space designed for both relaxation and recreation, this Keys retreat delivers a balanced blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal adventure.
