Sunsets in Paradise

Marathon Florida Keys Luxury, pool home, vacation rental with open water views.

 A Florida Keys vacation starts with the right accommodations, and Sunsets in Paradise delivers. Picture yourself enjoying the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico from your own private patio and private, fully fenced one-acre lot. With all of the amenities available at this property and its location directly on the water, you may not need to go anywhere. Sit back, relax, and truly enjoy your vacation experience.
 
When visiting the Florida Keys you want to spend time outside and Sunsets in Paradise makes it easy to do so. Lounge around the outdoor patio table while your family plays in the pool or spillover spa and enjoy the sight of the Gulf as your backdrop. When the sun goes down light a fire in the fire pit to enjoy fun and friends well into the evening - don't forget to bring the supplies to make some s'mores! Do you want to grill your supper? A propane grill on the top patio of the property makes it easy. There's even a boat dock that lets you tie up your own boat to use for ocean adventures. The property is also located next to a peaceful coral lagoon. The fully fenced in yard is perfect for your pets to enjoy paradise as much as you will!
 

Of course, you aren't going to spend all of your time outside, and Sunsets in Paradise has plenty of room and amenities inside to make your vacation comfortable. The larger upper level of the home has a spacious dining room that seats up to 10 people. The upper level has sleeping space for up to six people, with one bedroom with two Twin beds, another bedroom with a Queen bed, and a master suite with a King bed. The living area has seating for up to 12 people.
 

The separate lower level of the property has a sitting area that accommodates up to eight. Imagine lounging on the comfortable couches as you enjoy your favorite movie on the large flat-screen TV. If you want to grab a quick snack, you don't have to head upstairs. A breakfast kitchen complete with a fridge, sink, drink cooler, and coffee maker means you can store some snacks close at hand.
 

The lower level of Sunsets in Paradise has two additional bedrooms. One has a King bed with a new TV as well as spa towels and baskets for clothing while the other has a bunk bed with a Full size on the bottom and a Twin on top. The lower level and upper level are completely separated from each other making this property a great place for friends or multiple families to vacation together and still enjoy their privacy.
 

To finish out the ideal vacation destination, Sunsets in Paradise has everything you need for your comfort during the duration of your stay. Each of the kitchens is fully stocked with all of the dishes and utensils you need, and the property is equipped with complimentary WiFi.
 

Are you ready to capture the Florida Keys vacation experience in a home that allows you to truly relax? Book your stay at Sunsets in Paradise, and enjoy your vacation directly on the Gulf with everything on hand to keep you comfortable.

 
You can catch Snapper, Snook, and Tarpon right off the dock. You have easy access to the Gulf which is a big plus for boaters. Imagine fishing right outside your backyard in the Gulf of Mexico as well as diving for lobsters in the open waters. This is truly a fisherman's paradise.
 
Sunsets in Paradise is very close to the famed Dolphin Research center and the Wreck Grill. Getting to Sunsets in Paradise is easy by private flights into the Marathon airport or fly into Fort Lauderdale, Miami, or Key West and take a scenic drive to Marathon.
 

This is a pier style dock - The dock goes straight out to the bay and it is on open water. The dock is more set up for a boat with outboard motors that can be raised since it is shallow at low tide.  Boat lengths of 22 ft at a max. Please note there is no power or water in the dock.
 

It is not a protected dock it is on the open water so if the water is very rough you will have to take the boat out of the water and make sure to bring extra bumpers with you. Southside of the dock has some bumper protection for a boat - The north side of the dock does not have bumper protection. Water and electricity are not available at the dock. The captain must use good judgment and be aware of weather conditions. The captain must be aware of tide changes, wind, and wave action.

Pool size: 504 sq ft; 4-8 ft deep

 

Max occupancy is the number of occupants the City allows and does not guarantee to bed for that number. Please read bed description thoroughly. This home has a maximum occupancy of 12 guests however we do have additional guest fees for parties over 10 in the amount of $15+ tax/night per additional guest, this includes children & infants.

Awesome view from pool
The best part of this property was sitting at the pool looking at the ocean. It gives a wide unobstructed view. Lots of palm trees that give a tropical vibe. We have no complaints, the dock could use some upgrading and the house really needs siding. Communication with the property managers was fantastic. We would highly recommend this property.

The property was perfect for a fun week in the Keys. The house was very comfortable and we loved that it was dog friendly. The management company was very responsive and great to work with. We would definitely stay again in a heartbeat! Only a few items to note- the upstairs and downstairs are not connected by indoor stairs (just more of an FYI if traveling with a larger family) and the kitchen is a bit sparse with silverware and dishes.

This isn’t a 5 star hotel but it’s a 10 star property that serves you up a slice of heaven! The house could use some updates and tweaks here and there but nothing that’s going stop me from renting here again. House feels like a home away from home and you can tell they are working very hard to get the surrounding property just they way they want it .

MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE
To: VRBO April 3, 2022 Re: MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE VRBO: #4933115ha, RES ID: HA-HT1GF3 Host: Coco Plum Vacation Rental 03/26/2022-04/02/2022 The following were repair/maintenance problems that we had during our stay: The icemaker in the upstairs freezer did not work, the 10 jets in the “jetted spa” did not work at all, the switches for the spa did not work, the pool was very dirty and the filter was not working, there were lots of cigarettes butts on the ground around the pool, there were several tiles missing in the spa and the pool at the water surface and there was black mold in the same tile areas, the bottom rung on the pool ladder was broken off the right side of the vertical metal bar, the upstairs thermostat had a low battery warning and it was not securely mounted to the wall and sometimes the up and down temp. buttons did not work, the master bedroom tub faucet leaked constantly and was not mounted firmly to the tile wall, the master bathroom tub did not drain (filled up above your feet and covered the entire tub when taking a shower), the TV in the master bedroom was not working (one of our guests was able to trouble shoot the plug wires that were not put in properly or hooked up correctly), two out of six lights were not working above the master bathroom sink, there was a hole in the master bathroom door from the towel rack mounted behind the door, the two propane tanks (one attached to the grill, one on the ground near the house) were empty, no recycle bin was on property as stated in the rental manual, the digital code to the upstairs door lock didn’t work at one point (Denise-Coco Plum employee who came out to fix it had the code not work when she was there, but then it started to work again so she stated she didn’t think it was fair to charge the owner $200 to replace the locking unit and left), the downstairs toilet leaked and started to flush without warning on its own, the dryer lint screen area was filled with so much lint, sand and debris that the lint screen could not be placed back in the slot after it was removed to be cleaned, both microwave surface lights were not working, the floors and both kitchen ceiling lights were dirty (we could see a large amount of debris inside the kitchen light covers and a wet paper towel was wiped on the master bathroom floor upon arrival and it was filthy). There is more to say than this. We will be emailing the entire letter to Brian Keaster and Trent York so it can be addressed.

Need more towels/washcloths and kitchen towels. Cleaning lady was there late 6p or later finishing. Rules/book confusing for check out instructions for linens and laundry. More spoons. Plastic dishes? Plates/cups for kids/family friendly instead of all glassware. Beautiful views. Awesome snorkeling and fishing. Nice pool. Bugs were bad at night. Overall beautiful place to stay.

Nice property, cleaning lacking
The property was as pictured, spacious for a larger group. Nice decor and a lot of seating, inside and out. Beds were very comfortable. The cleaning was very poor. The cleaners were there when we arrived 45 minutes after check in time. The floors were dirty, fans were coated in dust. Upstairs dishwasher was broken, not fixed during our stay. Good communication from property management except re: resolution of dishwasher. Would recommend but unfortunate that prior feedback re: cleaning has not been addressed.

Beautiful Property, however some.issues
House is on a very private lot. Upstairs and downstairs arr nice and are separate entrances. Downstairs wasn't cleaned when we checked in but they came rt out and took care of it. Did not tell me pool company was coming and was alone and walked out to find 2 men who came through closed gate standing in yard while my husband and kids were on all day fishing trip. When I questioned who they were they were ..they were ignorant and confrontational and told me quote " Not our problem no one told you..thats your problem" I was exstreamly uncomfortable and quite frankly scared because they were so arrogant to me and I was by myself and no houses around to even see me . I did call Coco who first said they didn't know who the men were and then said they would check and said oh ya the pool company comes out sorry we didn't tell you. I didn't appreciate the lack of communication and lack on concern for my safety when I told them. The house was nice, sunsets were amazing, house very well equipped. Were wierd worms that were all over property and in house too. Nice home but not sure I will stay again because of lack of concern for my safety. 2 strange men who came.through a closed gate and were arrogant and confidential to a female guest who was alone on a 1 acre secluded private property should.have warranted a immediate response, a team member should have gone to property to confront the men and make sure I was ok. I spent the rest of day with phone in my hand scared and concerned for.my safety

Sunsets in Paradise Indeed!
Such a unique find in the Keys, 1 acre lot, very private and quiet in a nice residential area with amazing sunsets! Interesting layout with 2 separate levels, the stairs provide a good workout. The pool was delightful, a bit dated but perfectly located next to the water. Interiors have been nicely updated, very comfortable. Quick response/fix by managers to correct a power issue on the patio. Would love to return someday!

Dock, Grill and smells
This is my honest opinion for the money it cost to rent this house. #1 The upstairs unit had a bad odor of either pet urine or mold. #2 the grill was out of propane and needs to be replaced. #3 The dock needs a lot of work and a ladder added so you the people can get into the water. There is no water entry anywhere if you have kids. As an adult we figured it out but was very challenging. #4 No....... boats, snorkel gear, kayaks, fishing gear basically nothing on property However, The property was very beautiful and secluded with lots of privacy. Very clean house the sunsets were amazing and the pool was refreshing. We did have an emergency on our stay with a main plumbing leak and management had it fixed in no time. Five star on emergency I think check out time should be more like 11am because with the rules of laundry it took us almost 2 days to finish the bedding & towels to leave on time. We actually meet the cleaning crew on our way out because of this rule. All in all it was a very nice vacation just a couple of concerns that you the renter should know Thank you Jason

Overall a nice stay
We had a pleasant stay. The house is very private and quiet. It's not a 5 star resort, but overall nice, especially for the price. No one bothered us all week. We enjoyed watching the lizards wander the property. We even started naming them. The house was clean and had plenty of dishes, utensils, towels, extra sheets, and blankets, but had an odor of mildew throughout, especially in the lower level. It wasn't too bad on the upper level. We were able to manage with some air fresheners. The furniture and beds were all decent. We loved having multiple TVs so we didn't have to fight over what to watch at night. The bathrooms were ok, as was the kitchen, but could use some updating (not really an issue). It was nice to have multiple refrigerators. There were, however, a few errors/discrepancies in the description. The listing says bedroom 5 has a bunk bed in the written description, but under "bedrooms" it says sleeper sofa. It has bunk beds and no sleeper sofa in that room. It also says you can fit 12 people in the upstairs living room. That would be difficult. We had trouble fitting 8, but it wasn't a big deal. It also says heated pool and spa, but it doesn't say that they don't turn the heat on till December (we were there early November). I called immediately when we got there on Saturday and they said there was nothing they could do till Monday. But they did come out on Monday and turned the heat on. So the pool was chilly for a few days. And the spa is the same temperature as the pool (I thought it would be hot like a hot tub) and the jets don't work. There is no hot tub on this property. A little disappointing, but it was quite hot out so didn't really need it. The pool was also a little dirty as they don't clean it until mid-week, but it was mostly sand, so no big deal. But the sunsets were amazing! Overall, I would recommend this house. You can't beat the price for a Gulf-front home with a pool. Just keep in mind that the upper and lower levels are not connected on the inside. You have to go outside to get from one to the other. It wan't a problem for us though. I also wish they had provided a kayak or two as many other homes do, but not a deal breaker. You can rent your own.
