Quick Answer: Aqua Verde from Villa Paraiso Vacation Rentals is the top Marathon FL vacation rental for families and groups, combining a heated pool, game room, and private dock with direct ocean access in one stunning waterfront package.
Why Choose a Vacation Rental with a Game Room in the Florida Keys?
Keeping everyone entertained during a family vacation can be challenging, especially when mixing different ages and interests. A dedicated game room solves this problem by providing indoor entertainment options for rainy days, evening hangouts, or afternoon breaks from the sun.
Aqua Verde’s game room transforms downtime into memorable moments. The foosball table sparks friendly tournaments between parents and kids. The arcade machine lets teenagers (and competitive adults) chase high scores. The dominoes table brings generations together for classic games and conversation. Board games line the shelves for quieter entertainment options.
This isn’t a token gesture—it’s a fully equipped entertainment zone designed for actual use. When the kids need a break from swimming or the afternoon heat peaks, the game room becomes the gathering spot. After dinner, it turns into tournament central. For multi-generational trips where grandparents, parents, and kids all vacation together, having this dedicated space makes the difference between a good trip and a great one.
Does Aqua Verde Have a Private Pool?
Yes, Aqua Verde features a heated saltwater pool that serves as the heart of the outdoor living experience. The 14-foot by 14-foot pool provides plenty of space for swimming, floating, and cooling off under the Florida Keys sun.
The saltwater system offers several advantages over traditional chlorine pools. Saltwater feels gentler on skin and eyes, meaning kids can play for hours without irritation. There’s no harsh chemical smell. Hair and swimsuits last longer. Many guests with sensitive skin specifically seek saltwater pools for these reasons.
Pool heating is available for an additional fee ($250 per week), ensuring comfortable swimming temperatures even during cooler months or evening dips. January through March visitors particularly appreciate this option, as heated water extends pool time well into the evening hours.
Pool Area Features
The pool doesn’t exist in isolation—it anchors an entire outdoor entertainment zone:
- Pool Loungers: Dedicated lounging space for sunbathing and relaxation
- Covered Patio: Shaded seating area with ceiling fans for relief from the sun
- Outdoor Kitchen: Gas BBQ grill, beverage cooler, and prep area
- Dining Space: Al fresco dining for up to 8 guests with canal views
- Waterfront Views: Direct sightlines to the canal and passing boats
- Pool Floaties: Provided for guest use
- Beach Towels: Fresh towels included with your stay
What Makes Aqua Verde Ideal for Boaters and Anglers?
The 50-foot private dock transforms Aqua Verde from an excellent vacation rental into a boater’s paradise. Direct ocean access sits just minutes away through the canal system, with no bridge clearance restrictions limiting vessel height. Whether you’re bringing your own boat, renting locally, or simply fishing from the dock, this property delivers genuine waterfront functionality.
The dock comes equipped with serious amenities. The 50 AMP electrical service handles larger vessels and overnight charging needs. Fresh water hookups allow deck washing and fish prep. The dedicated fish cleaning station means you can process your catch immediately—no driving to a marina or making a mess elsewhere.
| Dock Feature | Details |
| Length | 50 feet |
| Power | 50 AMP electrical service |
| Water | Fresh water hookup |
| Fish Station | Built-in cleaning station |
| Ocean Access | Direct, no bridge restrictions |
| Vessel Size | Accommodates most recreational boats |
Marathon’s location in the Middle Keys provides access to both Atlantic and Gulf waters. Offshore fishing brings mahi-mahi, sailfish, and tuna. Flats fishing delivers bonefish, permit, and tarpon. Reef fishing yields snapper, grouper, and hogfish. The dock’s position means you’re on the water quickly, maximizing fishing time rather than transit time.
How Many Guests Can Stay at Aqua Verde?
Aqua Verde comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests across three well-designed bedrooms with three full bathrooms. The sleeping arrangement works particularly well for families with children or groups of couples traveling together.
The master suite features a queen bed with an ensuite bathroom and balcony access—a private retreat for parents or couples wanting their own space. The second bedroom offers another queen bed with proximity to a full bathroom. The third bedroom creatively maximizes space with a queen-size bunk bed, sleeping four in a configuration that kids and younger travelers love.
This bedroom distribution means different family configurations work seamlessly. A family of six spreads across all three rooms. Two families of four share comfortably with kids in the bunk room. Three couples divide easily with the master suite providing extra privacy. The three full bathrooms prevent morning bottlenecks and maintain harmony among larger groups.
Every bedroom includes smart TVs for streaming personal accounts, premium mattresses with quality linens, closets with hangers and shelves, and nightstands with reading lamps.

Is Aqua Verde Pet-Friendly?
Yes, Aqua Verde welcomes pets with a $250 per pet per week fee. Finding quality vacation rentals in the Florida Keys that accommodate pets can be challenging, making Aqua Verde particularly valuable for families who consider pets part of the vacation crew.
The property layout works well for pet owners. The fenced waterfront yard provides secure outdoor space for dogs to explore. Multiple outdoor living areas offer shaded spots for pets to relax while you swim or grill. The ceramic tile and hardwood flooring throughout the home simplifies cleanup compared to fully carpeted rentals.
Nearby Coco Plum Beach allows leashed dogs during certain hours, providing an excellent spot for beach walks. The quiet residential neighborhood offers pleasant routes for morning and evening walks along the canal.
What Kitchen and Dining Amenities Does Aqua Verde Offer?
The fully equipped gourmet kitchen rivals what you’d find in a high-end home, designed for serious cooking rather than just reheating takeout. Modern Samsung appliances, spacious countertops, and a stunning waterfall island provide both functionality and visual appeal.
Major appliances include a double-door refrigerator with ice maker, electric stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker. Specialty items like an air fryer, blender, and full cookware collection support diverse cooking styles. The kitchen isn’t just equipped—it’s equipped for vacation cooking where you might prep a big breakfast, pack boat lunches, and grill the day’s catch for dinner.
Dining options spread across indoor and outdoor spaces. The indoor dining area seats your full group. The outdoor kitchen area includes its own dining space with canal views. The covered patio provides another al fresco option. This flexibility means you can choose your dining experience based on weather, mood, or what you’re serving—casual poolside lunches, sunset dinners by the water, or air-conditioned comfort during peak afternoon heat.
How Does Aqua Verde Compare to Hotels in the Florida Keys?
Hotels in the Florida Keys typically offer small rooms, shared pools, no kitchen facilities, and parking challenges—all at premium prices during peak season. For groups and families, a vacation rental like Aqua Verde delivers dramatically better value and experience.
| Feature | Aqua Verde | Typical Hotel |
| Space | 3BR/3BA entire home | 1 room |
| Pool | Private heated saltwater | Shared with 100+ guests |
| Kitchen | Full gourmet kitchen | Mini-fridge, maybe microwave |
| Entertainment | Dedicated game room | Lobby TV |
| Boat Access | Private 50ft dock | Marina fees if available |
| Parking | Free, multiple vehicles | Limited, often paid |
| Privacy | Entire property yours | Neighboring rooms |
| Per-Night Group Cost | Split 8 ways | Multiple rooms needed |
For a group of 8, the hotel comparison becomes stark. You’d need at least three hotel rooms to accommodate everyone—potentially four for comfort. Those rooms lack kitchens, forcing expensive restaurant meals three times daily. There’s no game room for rainy days, no private pool, and certainly no dock for your boat.
Aqua Verde’s 10% weekly discount and 15% monthly discount further improve the value proposition for longer stays.
