Run to Marathon

The Florida Keys are a band of magical islands that illustrate a sense of the exotic without demanding that you leave the country. You’ll feel far, far away without bothering with a passport, and the level of relaxation to be achieved is sky-high.

To help you on your way, imagine the possibilities: snorkeling, scuba diving, strolling on the beach, nature tours and lots of scrumptious dining options.

Marathon is located in the Central Keys, and in many ways it is the beating heart of the isles. It embodies all that’s great about this destination and even preserves an old-school feel; you’ll find plenty to do but will never feel that you’ve entered a cheesy, overly-touted tourist trap.

In fact, Marathon is made up of several small islets, thus creating an atmosphere ripe for exploration and filled with variety. Boot Key, Vaca Key, Deer Key, Grassy Key…the list goes on and thereby makes most other vacation destinations look pretty darn boring.

Since you’re taking the vacation rental route, you’ll even have the option of reserving a house on your very own island – talk about getting away from it all. Without giving up any comforts, you’ll be tucked away from the mad, mad world for as long as you need.

Marathon is Florida with less fuss; if that’s what you’re looking for then forge ahead – right off the conventional road and straight to the Keys.
