When we came down and camped on the beach we took a snorkeling trip. Totally worth the money. The day we went out there were high wind warnings. So it was just us that went out. But once out the wind did not affect us snorkeling.
You gotta know people down in Marathon to get good deals. These were average tourist rental prices but if you know people you can get these same properties for about half if you are in the know! It pays to have friends in the bizz down there bc there are always properties that are distressed and people hurting for cash that are willing to cut a deal if you find it at the right time. I have stayed in some of the same places they were showing for as little as 600$ a week. No joke!
Have stayed in the house across from the High School 15 years ago. Before the pool went in. The one across Angler, we rented for 4-6 weeks a year for 5 years in a row 2003-2008. Love the area.
Great video. We just visited the keys for the first time. We stayed at Grassy Key RV Resort. We snorkeled on Sombrero Reef and made several trips to Key West. We may be hooked.
Excellent job on the video. Houses were all very nice, but I agree with you on preferring the homes with palm trees and nice private landscaping. I do love the houses built on stilts, as it would become a great area to relax. Brian
Thanks so much Nat! We like it as well, but I think my favorite was the house with the living area right off the pool area, that had the split bedrooms upstairs. It would be different if we lived there, but when on vacation we have found it to really add to the fun of things when the main living area is ground level right off the pool area! Laurie's favorite was the beach house you mention!
We always use Barbara in Marathon, but looking to go farther west. Maybe around Big Pine or Cudjoe? Anyone you recommend. Looking online I don't see much. Thanks.
That's most likely because only Marathon and Key Colony Beach are permitted to do short term rentals, everywhere else is 28 night minimums for rental homes. I think there are a couple of spots in Key West that are zoned for short terms as well.
Hay Mark, I’m Joe, was wondering if that is the weekly rate in January, what do they rent out around May? Wife and I be down there in May or June. Might have to check ya out about a boat charter. And when we buy in the keys, you gonna be our agent! Like all the information you give. Thanks, maybe we see y’all this summer!
Thanks so much for watching! I don't handle the rental pricing but you can give our rental department a call at 305-390-2315 and they get get you pricing for you timeframe. Hope you guys have a ball on your vacation! Give me and Laurie and shout if we can help you with anything on the sales side 770-561-6091
I enjoyed the tour of the houses I'm looking to rent one down in Marathon Key Colony Key Colony this summer the price is at your advertisers at tax and fees all inclusive or is there extra fees added to those prices that you're adding
The prices in the video are the rental charge for the home. There would be tax and a cleaning fee typically. All this should be discussed with your rental agent of course. Thanks for watching!
Great video guys! We stay in marathon once a year in June for a week. A lot of the rentals you showed us we never knew were available. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work. We will definitely have to look Barbara up next year.
Traveling from Louisiana to Marathon as I am typing this. Have no plan once I get there. I have been an avid follower of yours and would like you assistance. I am looking to pickup any short-term work ie general handyman, painting, carpentry, also have lot of experience with boats. Thanks, Sean
Hi Sean, Sorry for the delay in reading your comment. If you are willing to work you can find many jobs here. Let us know if you are here and still looking for work. Thank you for watching!
@@GablesOnTheGo thanks for checking in. I got work with a general contractor the moment I got here.. been following you guys... Very good info. Curlys coffee ect
There are tons of rental homes here in the Keys of various sizes and cost. Give Coco Plum Vacations a call 305-390-2315 (our rental office) and they would be happy to help you find the perfect spot! Laurie and I are going to try and film some of the different offerings in the near future.
Well glad we could help somehow! We always enjoyed renting a home much more than a hotel stay here. Just so much more space and freedom to enjoy your trip! Thanks for watching!
Rentals that accept pets are tough to find. there are so many animal lovers down here, but it's a risky thing to rent your home to someone with pets just because of the potential damage and cleaning.
Also I am watching your video on your TV station home also you do guided fishing trips right cuz I seen you with South Florida fishing channel in-ear advertise that you might be doing some fishing if you'll put your information in there for me when I get down there I might contact you I got my own boat but it's a bay boat I'd like to get out to the deeper water
What I noticed is, that you Americans are able to pay crazy money for something that is not worth that money. We Europeans do not pay as much for renting a holiday home, or rather we are not keen to pay that money. It seems to me that this is due to the fact that we have at least a month of vacation a year and you have one week, so you are trying to extract as much from this week as possible. Of course, I am not saying that houses are not nice, they are very nice, but not worth that kind of money. BTW, Florida is amazing ;-) thanks for the video
My understanding is that is a Monroe (the entire Keys) county ordinance. I could be off on this a bit, but I think when an owner applies for a vacation (short term) rental license, the property is inspected and person capacity is determined and written into the license. Here is an interesting note, Marathon and Key Colony Beach are the only areas in the Keys that I know of that allow anything under 28 days for a vacation rental. So you can rent weekly here in Marathon, but not other areas of the Keys. I also have heard that there is talk of changing that ruling so that all areas of the Keys can rent weekly...but as of right now that has not changed.
I agree! The ads are placed by UA-cam automatically since we monetized the channel. I need to play with the settings and see if I can limit them a bit more.
We are noticing that our subscribers really gravitate towards our property based videos so we are going to be bringing more of that style content along with the fishing and adventures! Thanks so much for watching and the great comment!!

The snorkel trips down here a pretty darn amazing!! Thanks for watching!

You're right it is a wonderful area! That's cool you saw the house here on our channel that many years later! Thanks for watching!!
I rented one of those canal houses last year, Barbara was a pleasure to work with
She is fantastic! Never had a problem in over 10 years of renting with her. Thanks for watching!
Plenty of good advises and info here!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Plenty of great views. Excellent work Sir! 👍🏻
Many thanks!
Loved it “I’m from Georgia that’s the way I talk”
Thank you! It is hard to hear yourself on video in the beginning but then you kind of get used to it 😂
Looks great! keeping this in mind for our next trip to Marathon!
Hope you enjoy it!
Appreciate the vid. I was wanting to know this. You read my mind. We have a better idea now for vacation.
Give us a call or email and we'll be glad to help you plan your trip!
Great video. We just visited the keys for the first time. We stayed at Grassy Key RV Resort. We snorkeled on Sombrero Reef and made several trips to Key West. We may be hooked.
Thanks Blake! It's easy to fall in love with the Keys!
Well done! Very professional work. Thanks, Barb
Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to share your homes with our viewers...you're the best!
Excellent job on the video. Houses were all very nice, but I agree with you on preferring the homes with palm trees and nice private landscaping. I do love the houses built on stilts, as it would become a great area to relax. Brian
Thanks Brian! Yep, we really like the tropical/secluded feel more than the other style homes for an outdoor area. Thanks so much for watching!
Nice!! I like the first house ($3300/week). All the houses were nice. Great video guys!!

❤ actually a good price for that house to rent
It really is when you consider splitting it with family or friends.... they make everything more fun!
Is that price all year round or during the off season. Wondering what the price would be in Feb-Mar. Love your videos and just subscribed.
I would call and get prices at any given time, I'm sure they change dramatically with the season and other factors.
Great video guys! We stay in marathon once a year in June for a week. A lot of the rentals you showed us we never knew were available. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work. We will definitely have to look Barbara up next year.
I'm so glad this helps you! Barbara has over 150 rentals...she always found one we loved when we were vacationing here!
For 4K a week you would think they would have a clean pool
beautiful.great job u2
Thank you! Cheers!

what about places for just a couple? Smaller and less money hopefully!

Great Video. Boy am I living in the wrong state
Thanks Robert!
Great info thanks
We are so happy you found it useful!! Thanks!
Do you know if the keys has a house or hotel height restrictions?
Sorry, no, we don't know anything about that.....yet!
Can you fish off the dock if you don’t have a boat
That really depends on the individual properties, but I would say most of the time, yes.
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow you guy’s opened my eyes up. I had a one week hotel room rented in Key west in April for 2,250. What a deal some of these houses are.
Well glad we could help somehow! We always enjoyed renting a home much more than a hotel stay here. Just so much more space and freedom to enjoy your trip! Thanks for watching!
Would help to find pet friendly houses please. Really appreciate this video
Rentals that accept pets are tough to find. there are so many animal lovers down here, but it's a risky thing to rent your home to someone with pets just because of the potential damage and cleaning.

I do some light fishing, but mainly island tours, sandbar and that sort of thing. You can find our information at facebook.com/gablecharters

Thanks for watching Tom! and for the insight...
Max capacity. Is that a marathon law or throughout the keys?
My understanding is that is a Monroe (the entire Keys) county ordinance. I could be off on this a bit, but I think when an owner applies for a vacation (short term) rental license, the property is inspected and person capacity is determined and written into the license. Here is an interesting note, Marathon and Key Colony Beach are the only areas in the Keys that I know of that allow anything under 28 days for a vacation rental.

We hwve done Airbnb in key west 2-3 days
Thanks looking for week stays.
Thanks
I don't really know how AirBnB does things but I've heard the same thing you did...somehow they get around it I guess.
Way too many ads in this video to keep anyone's attention long enough especially for what its intended purpose was filmed for FYI
I agree! The ads are placed by UA-cam automatically since we monetized the channel. I need to play with the settings and see if I can limit them a bit more.
@@GablesOnTheGo my wife and I live here on ramrod key .we love watching your channel keep up the good work
Toooooo many commercials.....
More videos like this please. Maybe not rentals next time but for sale..? Great video. Thank you!!🍻

How to succeed in business: 1st house, wife’s 1st comment: “I don’t like this dark furniture.”
80,000 channel views this week. Candor must be a pretty good key to business success. Thanks so much for watching!!
Try candor with your charter guests, and see how that works.
We'll give that some serious thought. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Lol some people actually enjoy candor and honesty. Not everyone is a snow flake who crumples at the slightest opinion.
Great video!
We are coming out with new videos that feature homes for sale. Filming some tomorrow! Thanks so much for watching!
