“Excellent home for your stay at Sombrero! ”
Our family and I had a wonderful stay at Stay Anchored this past week. The hosts Melissa and Max were very attentive, and very quick to respond to our requests and questions. The house is beautiful and very well kept. We found it extremely clean which was a very pleasant surprise. The house is well stocked with beach towels, also in all bathrooms for personal use. The kitchen is fully stocked as well with everything you can think of. The location is great! Many restaurants near by and Publix just around the corner. As someone who has stayed many times at the keys with the family over the years, I can honestly say this was the best by far. Thank you so much! Will definitely come back!

“Nice relaxing get away”
Nice place for 6 adults! Close to stores and grocery stores. Very clean house. We didn't have any issues while we were there. If we had to be picky about anything - maybe some patio furniture cushions - otherwise plenty of outdoor seating!!

“Family vacation 2022”
This is our second year staying at Stay Anchored at Sombrero and as expected Max and Melissa didn’t disappoint!! Hence why we decided to rent from them again this year! 😊 Their home is always in tip top shape when you arrive and they keep in contact with you should you have any questions or concerns during your stay. Their home is cozy with the keys vibe through and through. Big dock for a boat and 2 jet skis and a pool which are 2 of our must haves when staying in the keys. Not to mention Publix is just up the road. Highly recommend booking with them! You will not be disappointed.
2022 keys trip is in the books!! We will see them again next year!! or maybe during lobster season 😊

This house was great, it has everything you need to have a wonderful vacation. It’s near all the stores for convenience yet once at the home you feel like you’re away on vacation.

The home is nicely decorated, room, modern and the pool is awesome!

The boat dock is nice!

Stay Anchored was a gem! Exactly as described and great location. Max and Melissa kept in touch as soon as we arrived and were very responsive. Leading up to the vacay, Max was very helpful with local recommendation for areas of interest, restaurants and boat rental options.

“Awesome 50th Birthday ”
I rented this home for my husbands 50th Birthday. All he wanted to do was fish all week. The house was located with easy access to the grocery stores, restaurants, and the ocean for fishing. The dock was a great added amenity as was the pool. The house was beautifully decorated and comfortable for all of our group. The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. The bait freezer was great to have. This was our first trip to the keys and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our flight was cancelled last minute and Max and Melissa were so kind to tell us not to worry Because we could stay if we couldn’t get home. Everything ended up working out with A
rental, but it was still a kind gesture.

We‘re already discussing our next trip to Marathon.

Thanks Max and Melissa for sharing your lovely home.

“Our new favorite place to stay in the Keys!”
Was nervous setting this up in March but Max and Melissa were excellent explaining things through the whole process and even keeping in contact during our stay. When we arrived Oct 1 all I can say is the pics did not do the place justice. Beautifully decorated, all the amenities as listed and more. The pool was fantastic AND, only about 1.5 miles from the best beach in all the Keys, Sombrero Beach (walkable). It was an easy drive to KW and Islamorada for the day or evening. Marathon wound up having some unique places to eat and hear music. One of the finds on this trip was Dockside, a small unique places that we wound up going to 3 times (it was 2 miles from the house, closes around 10pm).
Definitely will stay here again!

“Great relaxing place to stay!!”
Stay Anchored was a great place to stay and relax. The house has parking, private yard with a pool that sits on a canal, very quiet and relaxing, neighbors were friendly. Out front if the house is a walking/bike trail and it’s walking distance to sombrero beach. Inside the house has everything you could possibly need, beds were comfy and everything was very clean.

Lots of lizards and iguanas right in the yard, saw a few manatee in the canal, and saw lots of pelicans and crane flying around.

Max and his wife were great and responded very quickly, they made the stay great from checkin to checkout and there were no problems but I feel like if there would have been it would have been handled extremely quick.

I will for sure being staying here again the next time I’m in Marathon.

“Wonderful Stay”
Stay Anchored at Sombrero was wonderful!! Max and Melissa made it very easy and accommodating. The beach towels provided were a huge plus as well!!! Their house is beautiful, relaxing and close to the boat docks and Publix!! Enough parking for 3 vehicles and 2 trailers. Beds were super comfy and all appliances were updated (as well as the entire house). The cameras were no issues as all the surrounding houses also had them, and it was still no big deal regardless. The checkout list was actually helpful so I could go through it room by room and make sure I did not miss anything. Max and Melissa were always a text/phone call away if we had any questions or needed anything. There’s no doubt we will book with them again, highly recommended for anyone looking to relax in the Keys!!!
