The warmth and sun of the keys is exactly what we New Hampshire natives needed! perfect weather, house had everything we needed for a glorious week. Plenty to do in the atea.in the area. y West
Absolutely outstanding stay! This place had everything we needed to feel completely at home and we were impressed by how clean it was. Location was great & really convenient. The pool and deck is fenced in and private and using the heated pool over our stay was a real treat. The hosts were wonderful, kind & responsive which made the whole experience even better. Overall great, relaxing experience. We would return in a heartbeat!
This rental was perfect for our family of four. We came down for lobster mini season and the boat dockage was very convenient and a short ride to both the Atlantic and Gulf. The rental was clean, spacious and had everything we needed during our stay. Very comfortable and beautiful views. We can’t wait to come again!

This home was the perfect getaway for our entire family! The heated pool was a fantastic bonus, giving the kids a place to swim when we weren’t at the beach, and we all enjoyed fishing on the canal. Its convenient location near everything you need in the Florida Keys made it an easy choice, and we’ll definitely be returning. Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful home – it’s fully equipped with everything you could need, and the owners were an absolute pleasure to work with!

What a perfect week at this beautiful paradise! They have gone above and beyond to be sure that everything that you need is included. The pool and furniture were very nice and we certainly enjoyed laying out by our private pool. We look forward to coming back again!
Great property on a dead end street in the beautiful community of Key Colony Beach ! Homeowner Luis was extremely helpful and communicative as we stayed at this property for an entire month . Beds very comfortable, all new appliances, and fantastic location to keep a boat on a very calm and well protected canal . They provided us with brand new magnifying mirror and light and 4 new cruising bicycles which were fantastic ! Highly recommend this property !!
We had a wonderful stay at this property! Very clean and comfy beds. Love the shampoos and detergents, make for less packing. Pool area is gorgeous with nice landscaping. We used the grill several times. Saw manatees the next canal over when we went for a walk. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. The private pool was amazing. The kayak and paddleboards were a ton of fun. The covered patio was a great spot to sit and watch the thunderstorms roll by. The location was central to everything we wanted to do in the Keys. If you're looking for a Keys vacation but don't want the party central vibe that comes with Key West, then this is your spot.

We had a very nice stay in Paradise! The property was very clean and in good condition. The location was perfect for having a boat/fishing and close to several restraunts. Luis and Ayise communicated very well and were quick to respond to any concerns or issues we had. This is definitely a place we will use again. Thanks, Andrew

Great house and location. The communication with the owner Luis was great. The dock worked perfect for our 24 ft boat. Loved being able to walk out the back door and get into the boat and head out to fish or hang out on the sandbar. A 2 minute walk across the street to Sparky's to eat. We will definitely be staying here again.

This is one of the best places to stay in Marathon. It's convenient to the grocery stores, and other areas, but is very private and comfortable. The dock names it nice for getting out to fish or dive, it's only a 10 minute cruise out to the open water. The check in and check out are easiest we've ever done, and the hosts have made sure everything you need is there from kitchen needs to extra towels for the beach or pool. Yes we will definitely stay here again. Thanks for a quiet home away from home to relax and unwind.
