"We enjoyed our stay! The house was great for us with the beautiful view. The dock was the place where we spent our mornings and evenings. The pool is awesome. We kayaked, fished and enjoyed paddle-boarding in the canals near the house. We would love to come back next year."

"This was a nice home on on the water. It has a private dock which reaches far enough out into the bay that we were able to fish from and caught several grunts and barracuda"

"Ideal Location, Great Views, and Lovely Pool"
"We stayed at Bird of Paradise and had our holiday of a lifetime. After reading the previous comment we were worried about the seaweed but took a chance because we wanted a private pool along with access to the ocean. When we arrived we were pleased to find no weed and no smell. Just a clean, fresh new looking house with great bayside views. We enjoyed all that Marathon has to offer with great diving, restaurants, shops but most of all the fishing was superb! Coco Plum was great and very easy to deal with. Looking forward to returning again next year."

We had friends down for a few days and they enjoyed the location as well. I would definitely book this property again! Coco Plum were very easy to deal with!"
