Absolutely perfect week

We (family and friends aged 3-82) rented both the Grouper House and Super Grouper for the week leading up to our son’s wedding. We brought so many ch with us that we didn’t need because the houses were so well furnished! Large platters, boards for charcuterie- they had everything we needed to prepare and serve dinners for all 16 of us!

Great stay at Grouper House

A great property and very attentive management staff. Any questions were addressed right away. Listing just as in person. Good location in a quiet area with access to waterfront - beach and canal. We were able to paddle and fish off the dock for low key days.

The property was so beautiful!

It had everything that four adult couples could need. Plenty of personal space with each couple having a king bed suite with their own personal baths. Two extra half baths with one by the pool. Also an outdoor shower by the pool. The attention from Sean and Jose during the weather concerns of hurricane Milton, put our minds at ease. Seriously we are already discussing our return.

Great Place To Go & Relax

Our family, all adults, had a fabulous relaxing time at this beautiful house. The living area was on one floor with including the 4 king sized bedroom each with an on-suite that included coffee and wine bar. The pool was downstairs and it was amazing. Great size for our family. There was also a TV should you enjoy watching movies while in the pool which we definitely did! There were many places to eat and shop in Marathon. We went to Key West to celebrate our youngest daughter’s 21st birthday. Everyone had a blast! If you are looking for an amazing place to relax and enjoy your family or friends Grouper House is a perfect place to go!!!

OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WAY!

Super Grouper is THE BEST vacation property out there! We've stayed all over The Keys in many different houses, and this home is a stunner! We had 5 couples in our group and the 5 identical master bedroom suites was wonderful. But that's only the beginning. The home is gorgeous and offers beautiful "community spaces" where friends can gather and also has lots of "tucked away" spaces in case you'd like a little quiet time. The kitchen is gourmet and has every amenity under the sun. I could say a million more things about this home. It far surpassed our expectations and we've already rebooked it for next year!

Happy-In-The-Keys sets the bar for vacation rentals...

Grouper House was well maintained and stocked with all your needs for cooking (utensils), towels, fishing accessories (bait freezer - separate fridge/freezer and ice machine). The layout allowed family and friends time together with privacy where it counts (all masters with coffee bars). A few concerns upon arriving were dealt with by a friendly maintenance staff same day. The private boat ramp is shared with other rentals by the same management company - that was not clear when we rented the space but it was not an issue at all. Parking was more than adequate, and they even had a separate trailer parking area. The management and maintenance team are AMAZING! They provided lots of information about the rental, surrounding area and go beyond to make sure your vacation is relaxing and enjoyable. Worth every penny! Thank you for a great family get away!

Family vacation at Grouper House

What a great property! My family and I were VERY impressed with the house, the location, the cleanliness, and responsiveness of the Happy in the Keys team. It all made for a wonderful week in the Keys. The cherry on top was when our neighbors in Super Grouper gave us a mackerel fish they caught that day, which turned into an excellent grilled dinner for us. Would definitely return for a future stay again, wonderful experience all around.

I will return next year for 3rd time!!

We stayed at the Grouper House in 2017 and loved every minute of our time there. We just returned for another week in May of 2022 and it’s only gotten better. The owners came over and met us and it was like we were talking with old friends. I can’t say enough about Marty, Stanley and of course Kim. We didn’t want to leave and wish we had reserved two weeks. Every bedroom is a master and totally takes you away to an island where you can step away from the family fun and take some time to relax. The bedding was amazing. I have already ordered the quilt that was on the bed for our own bed at home. I want to ask them the name of the mattress. So incredibly comfortable. The house and pool were spotless upon our arrival. We ran to Publix got everything we needed for the week and ate every meal at the dining room table and told old family stories. What a great time. The weather did not disappoint either. The reefs were so much fun and we were able to filet our fresh catch on the dock at the dish cleaning station. Just a few hints for anyone planning on staying at the Grouper House. The owners ask that you take everything with you and I totally agree with them especially during these uncertain times. So plan on bringing dish soap, shower accessories, laundry detergent and spices you enjoy cooking with. The fridge downstairs and the ice machine we’re invaluable. The boat ramp worked perfectly and the dock is fantastic. It’s everything you would want in your own home. We will be back again soon! Nancy

Four married couples vacation

This is a beautiful house and it’s perfect for four couples. The location is excellent and it’s private dock, fish cleaning station, and boat launch is an excellent perk for boaters. The ice machine in the lower level was awesome and having an extra refrigerator and freezer down there was helpful. You will need to bring/purchase all condiments, paper goods, garbage bags, dishwasher and laundry detergent. Salt and pepper were the only things in the cabinet. They do start you off with one roll of paper towels and toilet paper in the bathrooms. Unfortunately, the next door neighbor is doing some construction so there was a lot of noise(jackhammering) most of the day, every day. The cable TV was installed on Friday December 10th. The pool guy came at 1:30pm on Friday so we were asked to stay out of the pool until 3:00pm. I’m not sure if this is the regular schedule but we were bummed since it was a beautiful day. Had we known we would have switched our day trip to Key West to Friday.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Portner

Host profile image
Our journey to the Florida Keys began in 2009, when we vacationed here for the first time and instantly fell in love with the laid-back lifestyle, the vibrant oceanfront scenery, and the warm, welcoming community. What started as a family getaway quickly grew into a lifelong passion.

Driven by our love for the Keys, we founded HappyintheKeys — a lifestyle brand and a curated collection of luxury vacation rental residences. We didn’t just want to buy a house here; we wanted to build experiences that capture the essence of what makes the Keys so special.

Each home in our portfolio, including Grouper House, is custom-designed and personally managed by us. We focus on quality, comfort, and thoughtful design to ensure that every guest feels like they’re coming home — whether it’s their first visit or their tenth.

From the architecture to the furnishings, the amenities to the small details, everything has been carefully selected to create an effortless, elevated vacation experience. We believe luxury should feel personal, and we’re proud to offer a stay that reflects the beauty and authenticity of life in the Florida Keys.

When you stay with HappyintheKeys, you're not just renting a house — you're stepping into a slice of paradise we’ve lovingly crafted and are excited to share.

Why they chose this property

We custom designed and built Grouper House — along with several of our other homes — specifically with the vacation lifestyle in mind. As avid travelers and hosts, we understand what makes a getaway truly special: comfort, privacy, space, and a setting that brings people together effortlessly.

This home was thoughtfully created for families and groups of friends traveling together. Whether it's multiple couples, an extended family, or a mix of both, everyone deserves to feel equally pampered. That’s why Grouper House features four identical Master Suites, each offering the same spacious layout, high-end furnishings, King-size Purple™ mattresses, en-suite bathrooms, and private patio access. No one has to compromise — every guest enjoys the same level of comfort and luxury.

We built this home to make vacationing together easy and enjoyable, with generous indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a resort-style pool, and premium amenities designed for relaxation and fun. From quiet morning coffee on the terrace to sunset cocktails by the pool, Grouper House is meant to be shared, enjoyed, and remembered.

This property isn’t just a rental — it’s a destination tailored for those who want more than just a place to stay. It’s a home designed for making memories.

What makes this property unique

Grouper House was thoughtfully designed and custom built — along with two of our other luxury homes — to meet the specific needs of vacationing families and groups of friends. As owners and frequent travelers ourselves, we understand the value of equal comfort and privacy when staying with others.

That’s why this home features four equally spacious and beautifully appointed Master Suites, each with a King-size Purple™ mattress, en-suite bathroom, private wine/coffee bar, and direct access to patio or terrace space. Whether you're traveling with other couples, extended family, or friends with children, everyone enjoys the same level of luxury — no drawing straws for the “best room.”

Beyond the interior, Grouper House offers a host of unique outdoor amenities designed to elevate your experience:

🚤 Private Boat Ramp — A rare and valuable feature in the Keys, our ramp is reserved exclusively for guests of our five homes and our personal use. It’s ideal for guests who bring their own boats and want convenient, secure water access.
🛥️ Extra-Wide IPE Dock — Built for both comfort and function, the dock offers plenty of space for boarding, unloading, or simply relaxing. It’s also a great spot for fishing or spotting manatees cruising the canal.
🏊 Expansive Pool Area — The large saline pool is thoughtfully positioned between the home and the dock for easy access and stunning views. A splash deck makes it perfect for kids, while the surrounding lounge area invites relaxation in sun or shade. A Bathroom is convenient to the pool and dock.

From the indoor layout to the outdoor design, Grouper House delivers the perfect balance of luxury, function, and family-friendly features, making it a standout destination for travelers seeking an elevated Florida Keys experience.
