Captain Pip's Marina & Hideaway

The property was conveniently located halfway along the FL keys in Marathon, enabling us to more easily visit a variety of parks, beaches, restaurants, and tourist attractions in the area. Porkys restaurant next door has the best baby back Ribs ever along with a miniature golf course. Also located next door is Legendary jet skis which offers great jet ski tours of the FL keys. Located nearby is the 7 mile bridge which provides for a nice evening stroll as the sun sets over the horizon. We got the Osprey Apt which had a deck on the back where we could have breakfast and look out over the marina and water. One morning we saw dolphins swimming by as we sat on the veranda for breakfast. That was a special treat!

At first glance, it may not look inviting, but it was gaining in my eyes with each passing moment. We stayed in Little, a small apartment with no kitchen, only a microwave and a coffee maker and basic cutlery. Beds super comfortable. Peaceful and quiet. From the window a view of the quay. Barbecues, deck chairs, hammocks and chairs available. Next door Porky's pub with pretty good food and mini golf. Great base for key west, just an hour's drive. Sombrero beach is beautiful and only a 5 min drive. Small pool with warm water also available!

The room with a kitchen, separate bedroom and large seating area was huge and well equipped. There was a dining table which we did not expect. Weather was uncharacteristically cold and windy but the accomodation was warm and dry (there were air cons and large fans in every room so probable can be cool if needed! The double bed was enormous by European standards! Lots of nice old fashioned furniture and definitely one up on mass produced hotels. Lots of water sports on offer nearby. The restaurant was good and on the doorstep.

Stayed on their houseboat but for only 1 night and left early next morning for Key West so not enough time to truly enjoy the experience. Comfortable beds, sofa. Loved the bedding and especially the light, warm bed quilt. Great Cuban family run restaurant across the street. Will stay here again.

The location was perfect. The sort of hidden nature of the place was very nice. Room was clean although there was a bit of mold in the seams of the shower and a couple of wall panels that were loose. The amenities of the use of bikes, kayaks and paddle boards was very nice. The property was well maintained for the most part.
