“We enjoyed our coffee every morning on the roof top patio, and every sunset in the hot tub also on the roof.” - Lara

***What Sets Captain's Rooftop Apart:

Ahoy there! I'm Eric, and I'm thrilled to extend you a warm, sea-salted welcome to my Key's rooftop patio canal home.

Imagine waking up to the gentle lull of Atlantic waters, as sunlight dances through palm leaves and into your bedroom. Here at Captain's Rooftop, direct ocean views are around every corner. It's a place where families can gather under the open sky, laughing around the heated roof top hot tub while the scent of the ocean fills the air.

My favorite moments? They're spent lounging on our roof top, surrounded by the most incredible open ocean views over the Atlantic. It's this very private tropical oasis, perched above foliage whispering tales of the sea, that made me fall in love with this property.

***Embrace the Sea Life:

“My family and I had a blast. The dock space had plenty of room for our boats. Grilling and sunsets from the rooftop were awesome. The host was very responsive with all our questions. We would definitely go back.” – Gerald

But the true gem lies at the back - a spacious 75-foot dock on the canal, ready to moor your boats securely. Imagine stepping out of your luxurious abode and onto your boat for an adventure at sea, whenever the mood strikes.

Walk through your private mangrove jungle onto your private dock for quick direct access to the Atlantic.

For the anglers among you, nothing beats the thrill of docking right at our home with your day's catch, ready to grill and relish.

The Atlantic-side location of Captain's Rooftop is a fisherman's dream. Protected from the high waves in a protected canal yet the Atlantic Ocean is but a 3 minute boat ride away. It's here where the best fishing, snorkeling, and sandbar hopping await. And if you've ever dreamed of swimming in a turquoise fish tank with thousands of vibrant fish, Sombrero Reef will not disappoint.

***A Home Designed for Comfort and Discovery:

I've taken care to ensure that the inside of Captain's Rooftop provides incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean from the kitchen, living room, lanai, and rooftop. You come to Marathon for the ocean, so you should get to look out over it both when you are out on the boat, and when you are back at the house. The house itself, grounded and sturdy, sits high and dry, a testament to the Keys' resilience and charm.

Families find a special kind of joy here. The property is designed for multigenerational enjoyment, with spaces that bring together the young and the young at heart. Games like foosball and corn hole, beckon for friendly competition. An elevator gives easy access for guests of all ages to the top floor without going up a single step.

***Your Private Escape in the Heart of the Action:

While Captain's Rooftop is your secluded retreat, it's also incredibly central.

A mere few minutes' drive or walk takes you to some of Marathon's finest attractions and eateries. I always recommend the Island Fish Company and Lazy Days South for a taste of the local culinary scene. And if you're keen to explore, rent a boat and venture out to Molasses Key, or simply stroll to Sombrero Beach for a sun-kissed afternoon.

Our family has visited Marathon for our vacations for many years and we've always dreamed of owning our own little piece of paradise in the area!

Captain's Rooftop is that dream come to life. We've put a lot of love and care into the home to make it a wonderful place for a family getaway. We love relaxing on the rooftop surrounded by endless open ocean views. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is one of a kind.

The home is just a short boat ride to the best sandbar in the area, super close to world class fishing, and close to the Sombrero Reef Lighthouse for great snorkeling. It's a quick drive to Sombrero Beach and the neighborhood is perfect for morning or evening walks or bike rides. We're excited to make plenty more family memories and are happy to be able to offer Captain's Rooftop for you to make memories in as well. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay perfect.
