Seaglass was wonderful. Clean and decorated beautifully. The water views were unreal! We have been coming to the Keys for 14 years and this was one of the best places we have rented. We will be back. The whole rental process was easy and hassle free. Thank you Paula and owner Bob

This June will mark our 4th year staying in the Sea Glass condo. Each summer we return to what we deem to be our shared piece of paradise in Marathon. From the moment we arrive we feel as if we have returned home. This condo has everything you would need and/or ever desire in a home away from home. My husband grew up in Key West and in recent years we decided to return to the Keys for our summer vacations. We feel extremely fortunate to have found the perfect location in the Sea Glass condo and that is why we have continued to return. I would recommend this rental to anyone that is looking for their own private piece of paradise. Rain or shine you will continuously enjoy everything this condo and the surrounding Marathon area has to offer you.

We had an awsome time is this lovely,clean well kept condo you will wish your home was this nice. You won't believe how beautiful everything is from the view in the morning to the sunset. There is a lot to do swimming, fishing, snorkeling , close drive to Key West for the shoppers and awsome restaurants to eat at. The suggestions to the restraunts are great- love the island.

This is a beautiful condo situated in a beautiful setting in paradise. The docking for our boat was perfect for the two days the weather allowed getting out on the water with easy access to both the Gulf and Atlantic sides of the island. The days the weather didn't cooperate with our boating plans, we switched up and found many new things on the islands to enjoy, such as the Conch Train Tour, Pepe's and Conch Republic restaurants in Key West, No Name Pub & Pizza and Key Deer in Big Pine, Bahia Honda State Park. We toured the Turtle Hospital and found the Keys Fisheries and Captain Hook's Marina in Marathon, plus all the great parks and places we visited around Islamorada. Our children especially enjoyed the iguannas and key deer and the beautiful fish and sealife. We had a wonderful week in paradise and this condo was great because of its convenient location, it's clean and nicely furnished, and very comfortable.

Our family spent a fabulous week at Sea Glass during the month of May. It was our first visit to the Florida Keys and we could not have picked a better place to call "home" while we were there! The townhome was extremely clean and well-equipped and spacious enough for a family with 4 children! The kids loved being in the pool and we really appreciated having the dock right there for fishing in the mornings and evenings. We caught a variety of fish including 2 bonnethead sharks right off the dock! The views from the condo were absolutely beautiful! Our favourite beaches were in Bahia Honda State Park, and we went there on most days to swim and snorkel in the clear water! Our family really appreciated the opportunity to rent your vacation home and we would highly recommend it to others for a wonderful holiday! Thank You!

Our vacation was absolutely wonderful. The condo was awesome, and we loved the location. To me, the best part was the solitude and peacefulness: listening to the waves while lying in bed, watching sunrises (I'm an early bird so I caught most of them), and watching the moon reflect off the water. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere at all the restaurants! We appreciate you giving us your list of recommendations. We celebrated my son's birthday @ Lazy Days in Islamaroda and everything was awesome. Island Tiki was my favorite (best place to watch the sun set)! Loved the She Crab soup. My son's girlfriend doesn't eat seafood (I know, she's weird); she tried my soup and had to order a bowl for herself. We also turned her on to some conch fritters @ Sparkys. We got to Key West one day and did the trolley tour (one day was enough, prefer Marathon). We had lunch @ Blue Heaven (with the roosters, chickens and even a scorpion) which was pretty cool. We also did some other tours near Marathon (Pigeon Key, Crane Point) and had fun snorkeling, jet skiing and swimming w/dolphins. It was really a great week! Just wish we could have stayed longer to do more things. Thanks again for everything!
We'll be back :)

ALL we can say is WOW! What a blast we had! We LOVE the Keys and our favorite is Marathon!
Thank you so much for assisting in the best vacation I have ever had! Our family loved it!
I know you asked for feedback and any updates so here ya go.....
1. The townhouse was awesome! Very clean, very spacious, perfect location for everything.
2. We took your advice on several of the local restaurants....The Island Tiki Bar and Sparky's Landings are our all round favorites!
3. We fished every night off the dock at Seaglass....what fun!
We bought fishing rods that ended up being too large to carry home. So we left them for future renters...hope they bring them good luck!
Thank you again for a job well done and for making my family happy! Let Bob know that we think his place is awesome and we hope to return again!
Kindly,

Dear Paula & Jean, ,
I have been trying to find the time to write to you about out trip at Sea Glass. All I can say is INCREDIBLE!!!!! We loved everything about the place. Every morning and evening we were in awe of the views from our bedroom and living area. The new dock was wonderful and we must have caught 200 fish throughout the week. It was soooo much fun. The weather was great too. Alot of wind but at least it kept the heat down. We would like to try and come back next year but stay for two weeks instead of one. Thanks again for all your help with EVERYTHING. You were very pleasant to work. We wouldn't have changed a thing. WE DO need a bigger boat to get out further into the ocean to catch larger fish but hopefully we will have that taken care of next year.
Sincerely,
Jennifer B

We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Sea Glass - it was fantastic. The condo was clean, the kitchen was stocked for cooking, and the views were unbeatable. We enjoyed many evenings sitting on the balcony, sipping a chilled glass of wine, watching the pelicans and the fishing boats. We had lots of fun playing frisbee in the heated pool -the water was always lovely. We felt being located in the middle of the Keys was ideal, as we took day trips to Key Largo and Key West.
Highlights included watching dolphins feeding as we ran along the bay, a helicopter tour, a snorkel trip, walking on seven mile bridge to Pigeon Key and...the fabulous beaches! And at the end of each day, knowing we got to return to Sea Glass, to relax and cook up some incredibly fresh seafood. Sea Glass was more than we had hoped it would be - thanks again!

Hi Jean,
We would like to say a big thank you for the rental of Sea Glass, we had a great time the weather was fabulous, apart from a wee bit of wind on a couple of days. We found the beaches and had some great meals especially at Key Colony Inn, we also went o Key West and just chilled out and Sea Glass was a great place to do it.
Thanks again for making our holiday.

Dear Jean,
I meant to write you when we got back but was simply too busy.
We had a great time and the Sea Glass condo was absolutely phenomenal. It was easily as beautiful as you portrayed it. The dock opened in the beginning of the week and even though there were a bunch of warnings with Tropical Storm Alberto in the area, it only rained the first day. It was fabulous.
Thanks for the restaurant recommendations as well. We had awesome meals at the Key Colony Inn and 2x at the Island Tiki. And while it was a bit pricey, we had a really great steak meal at the Water's Edge up in Hawk's Cay on Duck Key.
We didn't get to use Inch Beach because we ended up finding a very secluded area of Sombrero Beach that was very shallow and calm for our 3 year old. She had an awesome time and also caught a bunch of small fish off the dock as well.
Thanks again and if we ever come back down to the Keys (likely!), we'll certainly check to see if the Sea Glass is available.

Bob,
Geri, & Jeanie,
Finally got around to writing how wonderful our stay was, to much
work
back
here in reality!
I want to thank you so much for letting us rent your absolutely
beautiful
condo. Besides the incredible views out of the bedroom balcony I
really
liked to sit out there at night after the day was winding down and
really
relax and reflect on the beauty of the keys. It was so peaceful to
sit
out
there. The decor was great, made us really feel comfortable like
we
were
home, I particularly liked the lighting and art work. (My daughter
liked
the padded stairs!) The badges to Inch Beach really paid off. We
had
planned a few days around Sombrero beach but each day we got there
we
found
a sea weed slick right on the shore. We did Bahia Honda one day which
was
fun but crowded so a few of the other days we were pleasantly surprised
to
have our own little private beach with perfect water. I could not
get
my 18
month old out of the water the entire trip, she just loves the water,
just
like Dad :) I know for sure we will be back, hopefully we get lucky
again
and find an open week!
Thanks Again!
Sincerely,
Brandon, Fabiola, & Mariella

Florida
Keys! Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo!
And
the directions you sent were fantastic and much appreciated
as well. Well pulled up to the condo Saturday night at 10:30
pm after 38 hours of no sleep and we were ecstatic to find "the
palace" in paradise. It was the best gift we could have
been given.
We
hope everything was just as expected after our departure. We
did our best to leave it as nice as we found it. We want to
be welcomed back so all of us, including our 7 year old, went
around to make sure everything was neat and tidy when we departed.Thanks
again for sharing your condo....we had a marvelous time.

I
wanted to send you a note to let you know just how much my
whole family enjoyed our vacation in the Marathon Keys. Your
home was perfect....it possessed such a homey and comfortable
feeling. Plus it had all the amenities that anyone could ask
for. As you mentioned, and I agree, the view was "picture
perfect".
We
can't wait to return to the Keys and would love to rent your
home again.
Take
best of care,

Dear
Bob & Geri,
We
would like to thank you so very much for letting us rent your
lovely home in Marathon this past week. It was just perfect.
Our friends joined us on Tuesday and were thoroughly impressed
with the accommodations as well.
The
four of us fished every morning & every evening, sometimes
past 11 pm. We caught a lot of red & yellow tail snapper
off the dock, not to mention many grunts & a couple of
barracuda. We also took many pictures of the beautiful sunset.
We
would love to visit again sometime as it is only a 5.5 hour
drive from Orlando. We will also recommend it to all of our
friends.
Thank
you again!
Sincerely,
L.

Dear
Bob,
We
just returned late last week (we had spent an additional couple
of days in Key Largo) and I want to thank you and your family
for allowing us the use of your home. Everything was wonderful
and our only regret...was that it was too short! We would definitely
like to schedule a return visit for July 2005. Definitely one
week, and possibly two weeks. When you can, please let me know
the procedure you would like us to follow in order to "officially " make
our reservations.
Again,
thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your home!

Hurricane
Charley, Ivan & Frances!
Oct 13,
2004
After
much anticipation our trip to the Florida Keys was planned
for September 17-24. We booked the beautiful Sea Glass condo
on Marathon Key so we would be in the middle key. It was off-season
and the rates were lower. What a perfect time to go. We would
drive our car to save money.
When
Hurricane Charley threatened the Florida Keys in mid August,
we got really nervous. I called Jeanne and she told me not
to worry, that it was too early to tell what Charley is going
to do and that she was watching it closely. A couple of days
later the Keys started the tourist evacuations and we were
so afraid that our vacation was ruined for sure. Well, the
hurricane shifted (Jeanne was right) and we could breathe again
except for the worry that we would not be able to get gas or
would encounter damage. Then Hurricane Frances hit lower
Florida, and we thought we would not be able to get there for
sure. To make matters worse, Hurricane Ivan was lingering below
threatening to head up toward Florida also!! I talked to Jeanne
to find out what our options were and she said we could either
rebook for a later date or cancel and get our money back. We
really did not want to cancel our trip or move it to a later
date, we were ready to go!!
Finally,
it looked like we could get there with little or no trouble. But,
Ivan was going to hit the panhandle and would hit Huntsville
right at the day we were going to leave (we live in Huntsville!).
I called Jeanne and she offered for us to come down early.
We decided to go for it and leave on the evening of the 15th,
the day before Ivan made landfall. We drove down through Georgia
and Ivan was going up through Alabama.
What
a relief-we went for it and got there with no trouble at all.
The condo was perfect and felt just like home, the weather
was GREAT, and there was so much waiting for us to do and we
decided to stay an extra day! This was a trip that my husband
has wanted to make for years and we weren't going to let 3
Hurricane's ruin it for us.....
Thanks to Bob & Jeri for your wonderful condo and to Jeanne for all
your help and patience!!

Ginger,
We loved having you and your husband, and hope to see you again.
The
Keys were not affected at all by the 2004 hurricane season,
and would have been a great place to go if you had to evacuate
(always check first of course). There were many vacancies, the
stores were stocked, and little traffic.
Jeanne

Bob,
We
got back to Myrtle Beach today. We had a fabulous vacation
and we absolutely loved your home in Marathon. I will tell
my friends about it and we will be sure to visit Gulfpoint
again. I was actually surprised how beautifully the condo was
furnished and my wife wants to know where you found the bed
spreads. They will be perfect for our house at the beach. If
you can remember where you purchased them, that would be great.
It's
back to the grind in the AM so I am signing off for now. Thanks
again for a great experience and feel free to use me as a reference
if you ever need one. We loved Marathon and plan to get back
soon.
Thanks
again,
