The place was great. Only issue was the AC in the master bedroom was loud. But when you are out running all day it is easy to fall asleep after a few minutes. Lots of room to park, great dock area and a clean space. Overall great stay and great accommodations. Nice to have a bait cooler downstairs as it is easy to utilize for the boat.

Keys Family Vacation

This property was great for the 4 of us. Docking a boat on the canal was great and we had fun exploring the keys from the water. The key Colony amenities were underwhelming so we didn’t use them. But the property itself was great. We were close enough to groceries and other beaches to enjoy. Overall great trip.

Great vacation.

Our family loved this vacation home. The location was perfect and the view of the canal was so exciting. The kitchen is well equipped. Plenty of seating in kitchen/family room. The balcony was the best. Always a cool breeze. We loved it so much that we booked for 3 weeks next year. Helen was always helpful with any questions. Also the kayaks were a nice addition.

The PERFECT Keys experience!

Our family of 4 had such an excellent vacation here! Location of Key Colony Beach is amazing - quiet but close to everything! Marathon Key as a perfect place to stay for an authentic Florida Keys experience without the crowds of tourists. This rental was clean, well equipped, and the host was very responsive! We were able to rent a boat which we docked next to our property for three days - so much fun! It was also very nice to have access to a beach which is hard to come by in the keys. We really lucked out and we saw Manatees swimming in the canal behind the property every evening! Our family will definitely be returning!
