Marathon is a quaint tropical city with a rich sea-faring history, a modern airport with daily commercial jet service, and some of the best fishing, diving, snorkeling and water sports anywhere in the world. Situated at the mid-point of the Florida Keys island chain, locals have declared their home "The Heart of the Keys". Perhaps best of all, visitors to Marathon can take convenient trips to Key West and the Upper Keys and the thriving metropolis of Miami is a short drive away.

    Bougainvillea is situated on the west side of the famous Overseas Highway (US 1) and stretches to the Gulf of Mexico. Located in the city of Marathon at the south end of Fat Deer Key, access to the Atlantic Ocean is via the Vaca Cut, which separates Fat Deer from Vaca Key. From the Bougainvillea owner's boat docks, one may be in the rich fishing waters of the Atlantic in just a few minutes, literally. One of the area's finest restaurants is within walking distance and wet/dry boat storage is available directly across the street.

    Come to the Keys, where climate, geography, and lifestyle combine to create the most tranquil, yet exciting, area in the country. Tropical temperatures allow for beautiful spring - summer weather year round, and a relaxed pace of life allows you to while away your days as you plot your next escapade.

    Outdoor activities abound; whether it's spending your leisure time exploring reefs and other marine life or deep sea fishing on a whim for the really big ones. Take up windsurfing and glide across waves or play eighteen holes at Sombrero Country Club and the impeccable Sombrero Beach is always available for relaxation and melting away the days. Don't miss the once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a little piece of paradise.
