'Cheap' Cabana
Nice property and nice view of the canal leading to the Ocean. However, the floors throughout the house were absolutely disgusting. We consumed our own 2 boxes of Swiffer pads which barely made a dent. My friends daughter, who is still crawling, was left with her shins and the tops of her feet CONSTANTLY black throughout our stay. There were sightings (x3) as well of cockroaches in the kitchen surrounding the food we purchased. I emailed multiple times to the Vacasa support team. After 5 days, (while still staying in the house) I finally got through to someone on the phone who shrugged me off and couldn't wait to get the local staff here to 'prep' for the next guests. I will use VRBO but WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT if it routes me through Vacasa.

Worst vacation experience
We have been to Marathon multiple times (through VRBO) and really enjoy the area but I will never stay at a Vacasa managed home again. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in any industry. The location of the home was much further from Sombrero Beach than portrayed in both the listing AND verbally confirmed to me before booking. There were all kinds of maintenance issues including living cockroaches inside, which I was told was typical of the area. Again, I’ve stayed in this area multiple times and never had this issue. Not to mention this was the most barebones vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. The 24/7 Vacasa line simply “enters a ticket” for every issue and tells you that they can’t do or guarantee anything, only the property manager can. When I finally did get the property manager’s phone number (clearly to her dismay because she just kept telling me “property managers don’t speak directly to guests”) she ended up passing me off to a General Manager who I’m supposed to be getting a contact number for. But that didn’t happen and she has since blocked my phone number. I hope many people read this review before booking. I unfortunately did not read all the reviews before I did. And ended up paying a lot of money for a house that wasn’t in the location I wanted and had cockroaches!!!

Sombrero Beach
First thing-- LOCATION. When booking on VRBO the listing is shown a lot closer to the beach/ocean. It is actually located just a few units down from the Publix grocery store. This made for a 35 minute boat ride from the house to open water. Upon arrival we found several large dead roaches and water bugs in the unit, not uncommon in the keys with the heavy rain fall earlier in the week. Property was listed to sleep 10 guest. We had a total of 9 including a 3 year old that slept in the king bed with us. No where near enough blankets/bedding to sleep everyone comfortably. The blankets that are provided are very thin. This unit is as bare bones as it gets. Raid cans left on patio floor fully accessible to a child. My brother thought he had left his passport on the dresser when we left. I emailed the host and they wanted a $25 finders fee before searching. It would have been in plain sight and the cleaning crew would have found it during the check out cleaning. (this was included in our correspondence with host) They wanted us to agree to the fee before even attempting to ask the cleaning company if the found it. We will return to Marathon yearly but we will be doing our due diligence before booking!

Worst property management company. 0 Stars
Upon arrival in Marathon, Sombrero Beach we arrived at 3:10PM when check in was at 4PM. We called the number for Megan whose number was on a sign on the front lawn. After a 30 minute phone call we were told we couldn’t even park on the property until after 4PM due to Covid-19 protocols and the cleaning staff... keep in mind there is no mask mandate or anything in the area and the property was vacant with no cleaning crew in sight. So after driving over 6 hours with a boat on a hitch we had to go sit in the Publix parking lot to not be on the property grounds, talk about unaccommodating. We entered the property at 4:01PM and first thing in the morning already noticed many things that weren’t to the guaranteed standards under the amenities. The light in the car port never worked which led to us having a pitch black downstairs area with no security.. when did they finally come to fix it?? On the second to last night of our stay even though was promised on multiple occasions someone was coming and no one showing up. But don’t forget all the nails we found on the floors by our car tires. The other major issue was the TV provider was horrible. After complaining, only 1 of the 2 TV’s was fixed which led to two of our guests having no TV service their whole week long stay. Also the A/C and water pressure never reached the front master bedroom. From now on, I will check to see if Vacasa is the property management company before I book any vacation. Lack of response, lack of communication and honestly lack of professionalism. Check the company or book direct. Do not recommend this unit.

Great house
We were a group of 8. The house was very clean and well stocked! It will take you about 15-20 min to get from house to ocean via boat as you have to navigate canal. Just an FYI.

We found this property to be everything we expected and more. The location is very convenient. Publix is about 0.3 mile. Sombrero beach is 1.54 miles. There is a paved walk/bike trail to both. We enjoyed having the pool heated, which we requested ahead. We found plenty of towels in the bathrooms. We found the kitchen well stocked with the necessities. This was a very nice property for our family of 7 adults.

Pleasant stay - However they need to update some information on the property.
Although we had a wonderful stay at the property, we were shocked to find it located differently than what was shown on the map on the listing. The map on the listing had it showing that we were staying at a place directly across from Sombrero Beach Park which is why we booked it. Additionally, if you are a boater there were a few issues I had with the dock. The hose they have at the property is connected to the house and gets to only about 20% of the dock, so if you plan to wash or rinse the boat you will need an additional hose. Also, there are no cleats to tie up your boat or dock lights. Lastly, when we reviewed the images of the property we saw the pool had an umbrella for shade. The umbrella would have made an amazing addition to the enjoying the pool under the hot Florida sun. However, the umbrella was broken and had been for some time as told by the maintenance man. Vacasa the property manager were great throughout the whole process and no complaint on their service - only praises. They did however say that they would not be replacing the umbrella during our stay or repairing as it was too expensive to replace. The inside of the house was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. They do need to update the mapping and one of the images to truly reflect the location. Our property was located a mile away from where we thought we would have been staying.
