Calm Palms Unwind

Spent the week at Calm Palms and it was a wonderful time to unwind for our family. The space was well suited to our family. The house was clean, well stocked and in a great location in Marathon. The pool was well used as were the kayaks. We saw manatee and tarpon in the channel and caught a few fish during our stay. This is a great rental for a family of all ages and overall one of the best properties our family has stayed at. The owners were easily accessible with any questions we had and check in and check our was a breeze. The Bisel Family

Amazing property

Great Christmas in the Keys experience for our family. It was so nice to have the pool, and kayaking alongside mantees was amazing. The aquarium was within walking distance. The week went by too quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome home with great views!

My family and I stayed at Calm Palms recently and it was an amazing experience for us all. The property offered everything anyone could ask for. The kitchen was completely stocked, home was clean, pool area and backyard offered great views of the sunset. There was plenty of space to dock our 22’ boat and room for our trailer in the front of the home. It was conveniently located near the public boat ramp and just a short boat ride to the Gulf and the Atlantic for great fishing and snorkeling . Overall, we had an amazing stay and will be back in the future!
