One of Islamorada's most storied properties has been reborn. Originally built in 1937 as one of the first developed estates in the area, Mar-Key Islamorada has been meticulously restored and modernized, blending historic Old Florida charm with a luxe twist. Spanning approximately two acres, this rare oceanfront jewel is now available exclusively for full-property buyouts, offering complete privacy for up to 18 guests.

"Our goal wasn't just to restore a building; it was to preserve a feeling," said David Epstein, Mar-Key's general manager."This property has been a gathering place for generations and is now  ready to open its gates to guests seeking both beauty and privacy in the Florida Keys."

Once a private fishing camp and coastal hideaway, Mar-Key retains its timeless character, showcasing Dade County Pine accents, Pecky Cypress walls, and classic architectural lines. These historic details are thoughtfully paired with curated interiors and modern amenities, creating a refined yet comfortable setting that invites guests to slow down, savor the surroundings, and embrace the unhurried rhythm of the Florida Keys.

Mar-Key is a destination for moments that matter. The estate includes three distinct dwellings — a main house and two cottages — surrounded by lush landscaping and 240 feet of private beachfront. Guests can enjoy a walk-in pool with a tanning ledge, hot tub, and private pier with direct ocean access. Recreation options range from paddle boards, kayaks, and bicycles to pickleball and street-legal golf carts, while concierge services span private charters, culinary experiences, and wellness programming. Daily housekeeping ensures a seamless stay with all the amenities of a resort in the seclusion of your estate.

With an unmatched location on the Atlantic Ocean, Mar-Key offers sweeping sunrise views and is situated in the heart of Islamorada, a destination rich with fine dining, art, culture, and known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World". The estate provides guests with the perfect balance of secluded tranquility and easy access to the vibrancy of the Keys.

"What makes Mar-Key truly special is the sense of arrival," added Mark Fishman, owner of Mar-Key Islamorada. "The moment you step onto the property, you feel its history and the transformation as the noise of today fades away. It's a place for those who want to disconnect, immerse themselves in the Keys, and enjoy both privacy and comfort."

Whether for a week of celebration, a corporate retreat, or a restorative escape, Mar-Key delivers a setting that transforms every stay into an unforgettable experience. For more information, visit https://mar-key-islamorada.com.
