Beautiful location for sure, but there were a a lot of little details that were a miss.
#1- they waited until just hours before we arrived to send the details to access the property even though we weren't going to arrive until after 1930. They said they would send them the morning of our arrival, but didn't.
#2- Doors that don't lock. beautiful French doors leading to the back, only 2 of 3 actually locked. This seemed to only bother us with our 2 small kids and not the property management company who felt that it was merely an inconvenience and we shouldn't worry because "Marathon is safe and people leave their doors unlocked most he time"
#3- The hot tub that has no hot tub jets and the jacuzzi tub that's not hot. Don't be fooled, even though the pool appears to have an attached hot tub it does not function that way. The management company says that it's very specific in the listing, but after reviewing the VRBO description it is not mentioned that this is not a hot tub. Fortunately there's a jacuzzi tub inside, but the water feeding it is luke warm at best.
#4- The floating armada of sea grass that was so thick animals were walking on it. this extended 15-20 feet from the shore and had the unique smell off decaying organic material, This was no fault of the owners, just our ignorance about the location
#5- short supplies, no dishwasher detergent, no laundry detergent, a severe shortage of TP.
#6- master bed was very comfortable, but the other beds and couch were literally painful to sleep on.
#7- pool guys came to clean the pool, but treated it with some chemicals that caused a severe reaction to one of my daughters and me. Why couldn't that have waited until after we had left?
#8- Their cleaning fee seemed ridiculous, but we accepted it when we booked the property. The frustration came on checkout when we were asked to take out the trash, clean the dishes and linens (with no dish or laundry soap on the premises).
#9- A dismissive management company
Maybe we expected to much? Fortunately of all the VRBOs we've done this is the only one we've had issues with. We'll still continue using VRBO, but will avoid any property managed by Invest Wiz
