Lemon Key Cottage
Welcome home…
Thanks to Hurricane Irma, we now have a beautiful newly renovated home! We've concluded a complete restoration and modernization. (check out the new pics) Lemon Key Cottage is absolutely stunning with new: bathrooms, kitchen, appliances, flooring, windows, metal roof, doors, lanai and pool bathroom, landscaping, furniture, pool equipment, and much more. We LOVE the result! Everything is new, and it looks beautiful, bright, clean, cozy, and rejuvenating. Our home was recently featured by Trips to Discover Magazine! We know you'll like the result too.
Jeff and I would like to welcome you to our Florida Keys home. We desire that your stay with us is memorable, relaxing, rejuvenating and enjoyable. Grab your sunglasses, flip-flops, and sunscreen and make your way to our beautiful heated pool. Don’t forget to make your favorite umbrella drink! It’s your time to slow down, relax and let the Keys’ mystique envelop and rejuvenate you. What we have is yours to enjoy…
Lemon Key Cottage is located on a deep water (12’) canal only 5 homes from the ocean. So, bring your boat and tie up to our 60’ lighted dock with electrical outlets. (We can dock boats up to 27' LOA.) Our canal contains a variety of fish species especially Mangrove Snapper and bait fish like mullet and pilchards. Feel free to use the provided fishing poles to catch dinner off the dock. Use small hooks baited with shrimp or squid and fish under the dock or boats for some decent snappers. Throw a cast net and see what you catch. A lighted fish cleaning station is provided with a wash down hose. You can see the occasional predator fish at night around the dock. There’s a bait fish cage available. Snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or flats fishing is accessible right at the end of the canal. If diving is your thing you'll find some of the best dive spots minutes from our dock. Occasionally, our canal is visited by Manatees, so be careful when operating watercraft.
The canal empties into the ocean through a flats area. Our flats are an amazing aquarium of ocean life. Do yourself a favor and take the two provided tandem kayaks through these waters to see a plethora of sea life. From our canal, you can reach the Gulf by taking Vaca Cut, which is less than a 5 minute boat ride.
We purchased Lemon Key Cottage in July of 2012. We made additions and renovations including; the heated pool with fiber optic night lights, landscaping and outdoor lighting, hurricane shutters, utility improvements, kitchen appliances, davit and dock improvements, 4 - Flat panel TVs, wireless high speed internet, and various cosmetic enhancements.
Unlike some other vacation rental homes, we decided to stock all the general necessities of home so that others can immediately start enjoying their vacation without running to the grocery store to buy paper products, trash bags, and hand soap.
The home is ~ 1400sq ft of central air conditioned living space with 2 bedrooms , 3 full baths, kitchen, living room, dining room, family room, laundry room, and a screen enclosed lanai. The kitchen is fully equipped including pots, pans, toaster, coffee maker, plates, silverware, the very important blender, and much more. Linen closet includes all bedding sheets/blankets, bath & pool towels. Many renters comment how much they enjoy our plush wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedrooms as it's much more cozy and 'knee' friendly compared to cold, hard tile/marble floors. Should you wish to grill your catch of the day outdoors, there is a Weber Grill waiting for you master chefs.
Our neighbors are full time residents that you’ll enjoy meeting. Neighbor Paul is a commercial fisherman of lobsters and stone crab. Usually, you can watch him clean his catch each night at the dock. Paul's wife, Danielle, owns the floral store in town and caters weddings. Neighbor Freida owns a local hotel and dives frequently for lobsters on her free time. You can imagine the seafood recipes that these guys have! Neighbor Cori is a marine biologist, and she is working hard to preserve and build our coral reefs in the Keys.
Call us if you have questions: Four, one, nine, three, four, one, three, one, nine, nine.
Wishing you an excellent vacation at Lemon Key Cottage.

Summary: Where do I even begin? We had a wonderful, relaxing. and fun time with our daughter and son-in-law. Lemon Key Cottage is BEAUTIFUL, immaculate, spacious, beautifully decorated and outfitted with everything you need (and then some) to begin enjoying your vacation from the first minute you arrive. The bedrooms include a HUGE en suite with a lovely reading couch as well as a good sized bedroom right across from another full sized bathroom. There is a third full sized bathroom with a washer and dryer located adjacent to the screened in lanai which particularly handy for changing after using the pool. The property is absolutely lovely with potted palm plants, lime trees and palm trees overlooking the pool. The back yard of the property is right on the canal and we enjoyed hours of fishing with the fishing equipment provided by the owners. We caught a small barracuda, some snappers and even a small tarpon, right from our back yard! There is also a large gas grill in the back yard but we were far too busy having a good time to even think of cooking!The pool is very pretty and a good size. There is plenty of seating with lounge chairs and a large sectional outdoor sofa with very comfortable cushions. The pool area can be lit up at night and the view of the stars from the back yard is amazing, The neighborhood is very quiet but the neighbors we did meet were very friendly and gracious.We can't wait to return next year!

Summary: We spent a memorable week at Lemon Key Cottage in Marathon, Florida to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with our teenage son. The home was immaculate and beautifully decorated, with a spacious layout and some of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept on. The updates inside the house were impressive—modern, stylish, and very thoughtfully done. The private pool was a wonderful place to relax (though a touch cool for our taste), and we loved the peek-a-boo ocean views from the house. The location was excellent—close to shopping, great local restaurants, and just a short drive to Sombrero Beach. The property manager was helpful, and the hosts were always responsive and friendly whenever we had questions. While there were quite a few instructions posted around the house, we understand the owners are just trying to preserve the home’s quality. It did require a bit of extra mindfulness on our part, but overall, it didn’t take away from our experience too much. We were glad we visited early in the season, as the thermostat was locked at a fixed setting—it was a little warm at times, but the ceiling fans throughout the house helped keep us thankfully cooler and more comfortable. If you're looking for a quiet, well-kept, and stylish home in the heart of the Keys, Lemon Key Cottage is a lovely choice.

Summary: Lemon Key Cottage was amazing! The location cannot be beat: close to the ramp to drop your boat in, straight shot out to go fishing, close to Publix market, Walgreens, dive shops, etc. The house is beautifully renovated and we had not a single issue with check in (nor throughout our stay). The only small problem I had was that the bed was way too comfortable and I did not want to get out of it for early morning fishing with my family. Mary and Jeff were very communicative and kind. I really appreciate them sharing their beautiful home!

Summary: My family (2 year old son, husband and I) had the best time in Marathon and at this home. It was better than the pictures gave it credit and there is so much to do for littles in and around Marathon. The pool was warm and we spent so much time in there everyday. Would highly recommend staying here!
