Our Story

A Keys Tradition Since 1962

Nestled along the calm waters of Deep Creek, USCG Marathon Recreation Cottages has been welcoming guests to the Florida Keys for over six decades. What began as a modest waterfront retreat has blossomed into one of Marathon's most cherished destinations.

Our cottages offer an authentic Keys experience—no high-rise hotels or crowded lobbies here. Just genuine island hospitality, private docks, and the kind of tranquility that makes you never want to leave.
