Steve's Advice

Steve Conley

Principal, Conley Sales Group at COMPASS

Marathon is excellent for families. It has a real community feel, good schools, a full-service airport, and the most affordable waterfront options in the Keys. The 7-day rental allowance also makes it attractive for families who want to rent out their home part-time.
