Great stay
5/5 stars
This property is newly renovated, very clean, perfect for our family. We were able to put a family of four in the room with a bunkbed and full bed which worked out nicely for our group. It has quick access to the bay and just around the bend to Vaca cut to the ocean. And to be able to bring our dog made it the perfect selection for our vacation’

Wonderful getaway at Sunny’s Paradise
5/5 stars
My husband and I booked a last-minute trip to Marathon Key for fishing and had a fantastic time at Sunny’s Paradise. The house and dock are exactly as pictured and there are beautiful touches throughout. Everything we needed was available, and it is a perfect place to bring your boat for fishing or just relaxing on the water. Lovely home in excellent condition, well-maintained throughout. The location was very convenient to stores and restaurants. The boat launch and bait shops are close as well. Perfect place for a couple, and for larger families, the children’s room is thoughtfully appointed. We are looking forward to our next stay at Sunny’s when we are back in Marathon.
- Ralph

Thank you for the review Ralph! We are happy Sunny's Paradise was everything that you expected. We are always happy to hear that the property was like the pictures and that it was a great vacation spot. We hope to host you again soon.

Feels like your home
5/5 stars
We really enjoyed our stay at Sunny's Paradise. Place was so clean, and decorated with lovely art. The master King bed is so comfy! And a there is a beautiful walk in shower! We sat out on the rocking chairs on the upper deck every night. The backyard overlooks a channel and has beautiful palm trees. We got to even see some manatees swim past. The neighborhood is quiet. It's located in a great spot that is easy to get to restaurants and grocery stores in Marathon. It felt like our home by the end of the week. Great management at this property that you can get a hold of 24/7. Tina called to make sure check-in in went well. She even went out of her way to leave us a cooler to use for the week, which was great since we couldn't really fly with one. Hope to return someday!

Sunny's Paradise
4/5 stars
We stayed 1/9 - 1/16, 2 adults and a dog. The house was immaculate upon arrival. Tina and Scott met us with keys and a review of the house and notebook of information. We had a wonderful stay. I would recommend the following: 1. Identify the switches for outside lights, we never did get the lights over the stairs to come on. 2. Get better knives, those in the kitchen need some major sharpening. 3. Add a cookie sheet, 1/4 sheet pan, pizza pan, regular sized tongs and a set of mixing bowls to the kitchen. Thank you.
- Cindy

Thank you Cindy. So glad you had a wonderful stay at Sunny's Paradise! Thank you for your recommendations. Come back again soon.

Amazing trip! Scott and Tina were SO accommodating, honest and wonderful to work with! The home was EXACTLY how the pictures online represented and so very clean and beautiful.
