Places to Stay in Marathon
Marathon offers a range of lodging from waterfront resorts to family-friendly hotels.
Good to Know
Florida Keys Rental Rules: Most residential vacation rentals in Monroe County require a 28-30 day minimum stay unless the property holds a transient rental license. Hotels and licensed resorts offer nightly stays. Always confirm minimum stay requirements before booking.
Investor Tip
Marathon is one of the premier hubs for vacation rental investments in the Florida Keys. Unlike most of Monroe County which enforces a 28-day minimum stay, the City of Marathon permits 7-day vacation rentals in designated residential zones. Contact our team for a list of active 7-day vacation rental homes.
