About this property

Modern Island Luxury | 4 En-Suite Masters, 6 BA, Pool, Dock & Outdoor Oasis

Step into Snapper House and feel the stress melt away—an upscale, custom-built sanctuary designed for dream vacations on Key Colony Beach. Perched on a peaceful canal with quick access to the Atlantic, this waterfront gem was completed in March 2020 and fully stocked with designer, ocean-inspired furnishings. Whether you're here to relax or play, every amenity is at your fingertips—manatees visit just feet from the dock, fish straight off the boat ramp, swim in the sparkling saline pool (chilled or heated to perfection), or soak up serenity on the shaded patio with a cool drink in hand. Once you arrive, we guarantee—you’ll never want to leave.

Beautiful House

Absolutely beautiful house and perfect for our week stay during mini season. The house was very clean and incredibly well kept. We really appreciated the extra amenities that the house offered. The ice maker, elevator, and private boat ramp were just a few that made our stay easier! Our family loved staying in this house so much that it was hard to say goodbye but we can't wait to plan another vacation here!

Perfect stay for my 40th birthday

We booked this beautiful home for my 40th birthday and had family book 2 other properties from the same individuals, all great! Communication with staff/owners was easy. Property was well kept and had so much to offer. Between pool, dock, games (cornhole and ping pong) and outdoor lounge seating… you’d never HAVE to leave the property to enjoy your week. Marathon was the perfect location and speed. Key Colony Beach is a very nice area to be in within Marathon as well :) Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Would love to return someday and will definitely recommend to others.

Almost Perfect

We have been renting in KCB every year for the past 35+ years. We are always looking for the ultimate place to stay. This came close, just fell short a few minor ways. The house was great and seemed well kept. The kitchen supplies were top notch. The bathrooms in every bedroom are fantastic. The only downside: 1). The house faces East (sunrise) so if you’re looking for afternoon sun, you’ll have to go elsewhere (in Jan the pool loses sun at 2 pm). 2). This is a top notch place, the beach towels were not. Nice matching (thick) beach towels would have matched the caliber of the house. 3). It would have been nice to have some condiments in the house on arrival such as salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. every place we’ve stayed previously has had them.

Beautiful House

We had a great stay in January, with family that included my 75yo mother in law. The house was perfect. Great common area, and privacy of the four master suites. The outdoor living space was ideal and used often, and the elevator made it easy for my mother in law to get up and down, and also for luggage, etc. Dock was great, and bait freezer and ice machine made things very convenient for boating. Communication was beyond excellent with the host. Will definitely stay again.

We hit the jackpot with this vacation rental. Perfect for our multi generational family trip. Pictures don't do it justice! Quiet and relaxing neighborhood. Easy to walk to sunset park to watch the sunset. Great layout for vacationing with a group. As a new mom, I loved the elevator for the stroller when baby fell asleep on our walks!

Ultimate Adult Get-Away

This home is so beautifully done, I don't even know where to begin! It's clearly been designed by someone who has rented homes for travel before and knows exactly what they are doing. From having tons of silverware and plates (ever stay in a rental that has a single set of 12 forks for a group of 8 people? Total pain to have to hand wash them between breakfast and lunch!) To the ground level fridge for extra drinks (no running upstairs for drink while in the pool) to the commercial ice maker (we filled our cooler to head out on the boat and the thing had pretty much refilled by the time we got back), they just thought of everything you may need for a comfortable, relaxing vacation. Its 4 master suites, which was perfect for our group of 4 adult couples taking a vacation without all our kids! If you haven't ever vacationed without kids, highly recommend giving it a try! The common areas are so comfortable and beautifully decorated. The outdoor space was absolutely perfect. The pool was amazing to have after being out on the boat all day. And Key Colony Beach was such a nice area! This place is 5 stars in every aspect. Grab some friends, split the cost and I promise you won't be disappointed!

Best rental property in Keys

We've rented a number of houses and condos in the Keys. Our family has been going there for 50 years. This is hands down the best property we have ever stayed at. Attention to detail at every step was perfect. The house has everything you would ever need - including a margarita machine! I don't think we could ever stay at another house in the Keys now - other than maybe their other 2 properties Grouper House and Super Grouper House! Thanks Kim for making our vacation so great!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Gregory

Host profile image
We first vacationed in the Florida Keys in 2009—and it was love at first sight. The vibrant turquoise waters, laid-back lifestyle, and natural beauty of these islands captured our hearts. What began as a getaway quickly became a life-changing decision: we purchased a home here and planted the seeds of a dream.

Driven by our passion for the Keys, we founded HappyintheKeys—a lifestyle brand dedicated to celebrating and sharing the unique charm of island living. What started with one home has grown into a carefully curated portfolio of luxury vacation rental residences designed for guests who value comfort, privacy, and thoughtful design.

Our properties—including Snapper House—are more than places to stay. They are experiences created for relaxation, reconnection, and unforgettable memories. Every detail, from custom construction and elegant interiors to well-stocked kitchens and premium amenities, reflects our commitment to quality and care.

As a family-owned and operated business, we’re hands-on with every part of your stay. We take great pride in providing warm hospitality, exceptional homes, and an authentic Keys experience that keeps guests returning year after year.

Whether you're here to celebrate, recharge, or simply explore, we’re honored to share this island paradise with you. Welcome to HappyintheKeys—where luxury meets barefoot living.

Why they chose this property

We custom designed and built Snapper House—along with two of our other properties—with one goal in mind: to create the ideal vacation home for families and friends traveling together. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals ourselves, and we understand the challenges of group travel—uneven room sizes, limited privacy, and shared bathrooms. That’s why Snapper House features four equally spacious master bedroom suites, each thoughtfully designed with luxury, comfort, and privacy in mind.

Every suite includes a plush king-size Purple™ mattress, spa-inspired en-suite bathroom, private coffee and wine bar, smart TV, and direct access to a private patio or terrace. Everyone gets the best room—no compromises, no awkward coin flips.

We designed the open-concept great room, kitchen, and dining areas to bring people together comfortably, with plenty of room to relax, cook, dine, and unwind. Outside, the wraparound deck, expansive saline pool, shaded outdoor kitchen, and oversized dock invite guests to make the most of the Florida Keys’ outdoor lifestyle—whether that means boating, fishing, swimming, or simply lounging with a drink in hand.

Adding a home in Key Colony Beach was a natural next step for our HappyintheKeys collection. This vibrant, walkable community offers resort-style amenities, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a laid-back island vibe that’s hard to match. We love it here—and we knew our guests would, too.

Snapper House is more than a vacation rental. It’s a thoughtfully crafted home built for connection, relaxation, and island-style living.

What makes this property unique

Snapper House is a thoughtfully designed, custom-built luxury retreat located in the heart of Key Colony Beach—an island community known for its charm, walkability, and coastal lifestyle. One of the standout features of this home is its rare layout: four equally spacious master suites, each with a private en-suite bath, king-size Purple™ mattress, coffee/wine bar, smart TV, and access to a terrace or patio. No one has to compromise—every guest enjoys the same level of comfort and privacy.

We designed this home—along with three others in our HappyintheKeys collection—specifically for families and friends traveling together. Whether you’re a group of couples, multi-generational family, or adult friends, Snapper House offers the ideal blend of private spaces and shared gathering areas.

The open-concept great room and kitchen open up to an expansive wraparound deck, creating the perfect setting for relaxing mornings, afternoon cocktails, and sunset dinners. Outdoors, the climate-controlled saline pool is strategically positioned to offer sun and shade throughout the day and sits alongside a generous dock ideal for lounging, fishing, or launching your next boat adventure.

Guests have access to a private boat ramp located just a few miles away near our Grouper House—exclusively available to guests of our five HappyintheKeys homes. It’s a rare and convenient perk for those bringing their own boats.

Steps from your door, enjoy the Key Colony Beach park featuring tennis and pickleball courts, bocce ball, basketball, and a 9-hole golf course—all within an easy walk or bike ride.

From the elevated design to the unbeatable location and thoughtful extras, Snapper House delivers an exceptional experience that’s tailor-made for unforgettable vacations.
