Family vacation
5/5 stars
We had such a great time at your house! The house fit our family of 13 soo well!! The pool was perfect! We docked 2 boats out front and they fit great! The house had all the amenities we needed! Our only recommendation would be the pool house is really musty smelling. We went out and got an additional damp rid but could definitely benefit from a dehumidifier. We can’t wait to return!!
- Erin

Reasons for 4 Star
4/5 stars
Many pluses - great communication between property manager, super clean when we arrived, comfortable king beds, minimal clutter & furnishings more modern/contemporary, 6th bedroom outside nice little getaway & next to the house, several towels (including pool towels) Needs - everything to work before you arrive we had a broken ice maker (entire time so they brought us ice bags but fancy refrigerator with drawing board for kids), sea wall ladder broken that had to be repaired while we where visiting & we rented paddleboards & kayaks so needed ladder. Also it needs to have a few more starters trial shampoos, paper cups, dish soap. Lastly this kitchen is lacking a lot of supplies if you plan on cooking for a large group. We had 11 people & struggled in the kitchen. We needed large pots/pans, stock pot, oven mitts, measuring cups, & more cups. If you plan on eating out all the time you might be ok but its expensive in the Keys to do that. Also we are foodies & love cooking so this was a big ding for us.
- Laurie

Laurie, Thank you for your detailed review and for choosing to stay with us. We're glad to hear that you found many pluses in the property, including the comfortable beds, central location in Marathon, cleanliness, and the additional 6th bedroom. We're pleased that the house accommodated your group of 11 people well. We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen amenities. We will certainly look into adding larger pots and pans, a big stock pot, oven mitts, and measuring cups to better accommodate groups that enjoy cooking. We understand that eating out in the Keys can be expensive, and we're glad that you were able to enjoy cooking meals together. We hope to welcome you back and provide an even better experience in the future.

Gorgeous pool home direct access to Atlantic
5/5 stars
We had 13 family members staying at this property and everyone was very comfortable. The pool area is wonderful in size and the location for boating activities is perfect. The home was immaculately clean. Most VRBO homes look better online than in person, but this home looks even better in person than in the photos! We had one issue with the plumbing, but the managers had someone out to us within an hour, and this was late at night on a holiday. Highly recommend!
- Lara

Lara, thank you for choosing our property for your family getaway! We're thrilled to hear everyone was comfortable, enjoyed the pool, and found the location ideal for boating activities. Your appreciation for the cleanliness and prompt resolution of the plumbing issue means a lot to us. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to host you again in the future!

Friends Trip!

This was our first year changing our vacation destination & we were not disappointed. Blue Water Paradise was perfectly equipped for our group of eleven. The newly renovated home was stocked w kitchen gadgets, comfortable seating & sleeping, great parking & a beautiful outdoor pool set up. We brought a boat & the canal was easily accessible. Blue Water Paradise had plumbing issues during our stay, but itrip was fast acting w fixing it. Definitely a home fit for several guest & lots of fun. Thanks for the memories!

Blue Paradise
5/5 stars
This is a beautiful new home that was perfect for our family. Because it is new there are a few things that could be added to the kitchen to make it more complete. While there is more than an adequate number of plates, bowls and glasses, I would suggest serving platters, more mixing bowls, a Dutch oven and electric mixer. (Our family loves to cook and bake!!) The first floor bedroom was great for me and my husband. Please consider moving the head of the bed to the wall facing the window and placing another small table and lamp. I hope these suggestions are taken as they are intended-friendly and nonjudgmental! Marguerite Carlton
- Marguerite

Marguerite thank you for the 5 star rating! We appreciate your feedback as this property is new to our vacation rental program. We hope to host you all again soon.
