Shore Crest Vacation Villas takes beachside living to a whole new level. Choose from two resort buildings: Shore Crest I on the ocean or Shore Crest II on the marsh and just a short boardwalk stroll from the beach.
Shore Crest I overlooks the azure Atlantic Ocean. Awake to the sound of seagulls and gently breaking waves. Savor the sweet salty breeze from your balcony or wash your cares away in your master bedroom’s garden tub. Villas have a distinctly “beachy” feel, with pastel yellows and blues rendering thoughts of sun, sand and sea. After a day at the beach or in town, return to the resort to wind down in the lazy river or at the poolside cabana with a frosty libation.

The Hammocks at Marathon is the Florida Keys at its best. Just off the only All-American road in Florida, The Florida Keys Overseas Highway, the entrance road envelops you in lush tropical foliage and Caribbean music greets you at the door. The glass-enclosed lobby is impressive with its 30-foot cathedral ceilings and saltwater aquarium of a living coral reef.
With so much to do on site, you might not even want to venture out. Standing bayside, next to the pool, Tiki Bar, or grounds gives you a view that you’ll never forget. Admire a menagerie of wildlife, from parrotfish, tarpon and lobster in the lagoon, to egrets, herons and pelicans among the mangroves. And don’t be surprised to see an iguana perched amid the resort’s dense vegetation. Palm trees, hammocks and tiki torches dot the landscape, while a sparkling pool and hot tub invite you to relax.
