The Reef at Marathon was a really nice place to stay when we visited the Keys. Location, location, location! It is only about 50 miles to Key West so visiting there was a breeze. And going to Key West we got to travel over the 7 Mile Bridge and look at Henry Flagler's overseas railway as we went! Awesome! The... More

This was a very nice getaway for us. The villas are rustic, but have everything you need in the kitchen and cable so what more could you ask for?! The sofa is beach furniture so not a big comfy couch, but was fine for us because we weren't there to be inside. The beds were a little hard, so my... More

We are an original owner of unit 37, best unit location and view. Love coming here every year - big fan of Marathon and Florida Keys. We're terribly disappointed in the upkeep of the interior or our Villa - carpet is torn, dirty and most of the furniture, flooring, bathrooms, blinds and cabinetry is horribly dated and in need of...

We loved staying at the Reef II. We had a one-bedroom condo and it was perfect for us. The resort is on a bay with Rachel Island out in the distance. The bay is a protected area so there is a lot of wildlife in the area. The Reef has a it's own private marina area w/ boat launch (the... More

We stayed at the Reef Resort in one of the condo / motel type rooms during the first week of June 2009. We rented an efficiency unit across from the timeshares. Our room was very clean & was decorated in the tropical keys fashion. It was very cute. Love some of the pictures on the walls. This unit was furnished... More

Our stay was great, everything was fun. Would want to be cautious with children and older folks with the villas, but we loved them! Nothing very fancy but certainly met our need and more. The kitchen was well stocked and basically nothing was missing. The bathrooms are nothing great but adequate also. We had a boat and it was great... More

Just returned from a week at The Reef at the Marathon – traded our timeshare time from RCI. Boat ramp, docks just redone – new pool and club house. We rode the bikes to Sombrero Beach that is about a 15 minute ride. Kayaking/canoeing - available 8-5 but will give you the key overnight for early or late paddling out... More

Stayed at The Reef for a week. Very happy with the place. We did not bring a boat but, the marina looked nice (although it was small.) The people that worked here were super super friendly and helpful. The unit was small but clean. The Reef is very centrally located in Marathon so it is very close to all the... More

Just returned from a week at The Reef - wanted to check out as a timeshare possibility. Boat ramp - poor design, had to use Marathon public rams closeby. Docks- great just redone. Pool - wonderful and clean. Manatees - surprise visitors to the dock area. Kayaking/canoeing - available 8-5 but will give you the key overnight for early or... More

Just returned for a week stay at the Reef Resort at Marathon Key in the Florida Keys. The resort doesnt have alot of units and the units are octogan shaped on a pedestal base so you have a set of two stairways to get up to unit with a wrap around porch. With this in mind and no children play... More
