Weekly rentals in the Keys {and generally elsewhere } are based on a Saturday to Saturday occupancy. Check - in is on Saturday at 4:00 PM, and check - out is on the following Saturday at 9AM . If other times are required \ requested , please inquire.

Pups are welcome if well behaved . There is a weekly pet fee as follows : one pup , $250 , two pups , $400, and three pups , $500. . Please see our other house in Marathon where we have over 150 five star reviews ! See VRBO # 335111 { Casa del Sol } The Casa Del Mare is a wonderful house built by D'asign Source --- considered the top builder \ designer in the Florida Keys . Situated on the ocean side of the island on a wide crystal clear canal only a few yards from the open ocean, the location could not be better. Our dock is approximately 100 yards from the open ocean and just across from the entryway to Vaca cut and accesses to the bay country. The dock is 30' long and can easily accommodate boats up to 35' . This is a real plus for the serious diver or fisherman.
The house is sited on a beautifully landscaped lot with mature plantings -- to include honey mango and banana trees. PLEASE share honey mangoes when ripe in June --- everyone wants some ! There will be well over 100 fruits --- and they are the best ! A great house for families and children.
Inside there are two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms on the ground floor. One is a master bedroom with king bed and a lovely illuminated tray ceiling and large master bathroom with walk in shower and closet. The other guest bedroom on the first floor has a queen bed and a full bathroom and walk in tiled shower with glass door enclosure.

Upon entering the front door you are greeted by a cathedral ceiling with full length windows looking out over the expansive pool with jetted sauna and waterfront beyond. The fully equipped chef's kitchen includes all stainless steel appliances . The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare any dinner of your choosing. Additionally there is a wet bar with wine cooler off the family \ living room. Conveniently there is also a well appointed powder room in the front foyer.
There is a large laundry room in the attached garage right off the kitchen. The garage itself is not included in the rental .
On the second floor there are two guest rooms with en suite bathrooms and wonderful privacy. One bedroom has a king bed as well as a trundle bed { making two singles } . The other bedroom has twin singles . All bedrooms have large flat screen TVs and internet.

Outside there are wonderful spaces to dine, enjoy the pool , waterfront , and a step down dock with fish cleaning station { perfect for launching one of our four kayaks and getting into boats dockside } . There is plenty of space to keep your own boat . Fishing from the dock is a favorite pastime for the kids. There is also a bait freezer outside , convenient to the dock .
A huge pool and spa along with several seating areas highlight the waterfront side of the house. Plenty of room for families with children to enjoy without being on top of one another. Also a very convenient pool side bathroom so bathers do not need to run into the house.
A classic old Florida style gazebo with stone columns and tiled roof adds to the enjoyment of the waterfront . The gazebo is equipped with lights and an overhead fan --- a favorite dining spot .
A beautiful new outdoor kitchen to include a Crown Verity SS grill , Fire Magic power burner and sink , round out the picture. The outdoor kitchen is undercover and has lighting over the power burner, grill , and the sink area , as well as two overhead fans. There is ample space in the stainless steel storage drawers and cabinets , all of which are fitted below beautiful full length granite counter tops . Finally , there is a convenient outside powder room adjacent to the pool and outdoor kitchen . Casa Del Mare was built as a family home and not as a rental property , and as such was designed and built with far greater attention to detail than a typical "rental home" .

Please see our fabulous house on the coast of Maine , The "Red Cottage" { VRBO # 4087681 } in Kittery Point, Maine . Please also see our other house in Marathon : VRBO #335111 { Casa Del Sol }.

Island Paradise 🏝️ Bring your boat or rent one!
The beautiful house was everything we needed and more! With a group of 9 and more friends staying in the house right next door, the outdoor kitchen was perfect for congregating for easy grilling and swimming together after hot days out on the boat! The pool is way bigger and deeper than any other place we’ve stayed on Key Colony. Lots of areas set up to hang out in the shade in the backyard. The dock is great and really nice. we brought our own boat and had room to park the trailer down the side of the house and still had plenty of room for 2 large trucks and a van in the driveway. The kitchen is very stocked! You can’t beat Key Colony Beach area for great dining and boating options. Definitely would recommend this house for anyone wanting an awesome place to hang out and enjoy the Marathon/Key Colony Beach area! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect location!
Our family had a wonderful time staying in this home! It is a perfect location especially if you bring or rent a boat. Easy access to marina to gas up boat and buy bait and right by vaca cut so you have the choice of the Atlantic or gulf for fishing. House is very cozy and kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals. The outdoor kitchen is amazing and there is plenty of space to park your vehicles. I would highly recommend this rental property!

Outstanding
The owners of this house clearly love not only the house but the area. Even with the small hiccups they handled everything. Outdoor space is great! The house is very large and even with all 9 (14 when everyone was there for dinner) of us plus a dog we were very comfortable. Super nice people. You will love it here.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Austin

Host profile image
We have lived in Marathon for more than 20 years , and summer at our house on the coast of Maine. We have six grown children { five boys and a girl } and nine grandchildren. We formerly owned property in Belize , which was wonderful, but we left there years ago due to travel times and lack of first class medical service. Much to our surprise we discovered that the fishing was actually better in the Keys !

Why they chose this property

My wife immediately fell in love with this house and it's location on the BEST street in Key Colony Beach! Our criteria in choosing a house was threefold : First it must be on the ocean side of the island , second it must be a ground level house, and third it must have an easy entry dock with immediate access to both the open ocean as well as the bay side. This house met all three and more. Additionally it was built by D'Asign Source in the "Old Florida" style { the Keys premium builder } , who had built our house in Marathon , which we have owned for the last 21 years.

What makes this property unique

Casa Del Mare is a ground level house and offers immediate access to the open ocean and the bay side. Wonderful pool , spa, and gazebo. Outside poolside bathroom . Great dock with EASY access ---- no ladders, stairs or difficult height . NEW outdoor kitchen with granite counter tops and Crown Verity commercial grill , Fire Magic power burner , and large stainless steel sink , drawers and cabinets . Extremely private !
