Kinda of a short notice fishing trip to the keys. 4 guys from E Central FL. Picked the Rita Casa for the beds and convenience to KCB offers. Although the Wind kept us close to shore most days. Kitchen is stocked, beds, screened patio and tiki hut. ** only 2 misses- which were the ice machine was inop and not many knives for chopping meat and veggies. Otherwise we were great and she texted us on arrival about issues.

Amazing Stay

The property was clean and even better than described. My kids loved fishing off the dock and walking a short distance to the beach. Cabana Club access was easy and a nice break from the ocean. The location was great and found lots to do near by. Check in/out process was easy.

We loved this property and it worked out perfect for our trip. Everything you will need is at this property. Sadly there were two instances were we had to work with a repair person that interrupted our stay a bit. But the real issue came on the last day. Sadly, the next guests arrived before 8:30 am (we told the host we would be out at check out--10). They parked in the driveway and walk to the back patio and starting checking out the property! I went out and and asked them what was up and they told us the host said they could use the dock! We were not told any of this. So we pulled our shades down and locked the house. Next they pulled up a boat on the dock! The worst part of the situation was the host gave my personal phone number to these guests so they could apologies. The host never asked permission, just gave my personal information to someone else (whom I didnt know). I am still in shock that I had to deal with either of these situations. While I got an apology from the host, its not enough for breach of my privacy and the interruption from the next guest on our last day.

Relaxing Keys Vacation

We enjoyed our time at this property. Well maintained and fully equipped home.The outside living space was my favorite. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The bait freezer amd ice machine were a great addition for our fishing trips. Owner of this property was so helpful and went well above to make our stay special. We look forward to returning soon.

Another year at Rita's! As always, had a fantastic time. House is perfect...always clean, fully stocked, very comfortable and beautifully decorated! We love spending time on the porch or under the Tiki hut looking at the water or fishing. Icemaker and freezer come in so handy. Truly has everything we need.

Excellent location/Wonderfully comfortable

3 couples and 2 adult grandsons stayed comfortably for a week. We lived out on the screened in porch and back deck swing area. Grandson fished and kayaked, others relaxed and enjoyed our time together. Only thing missing was a boat for us. Home is very nicely furnished, decorated and stocked. Thought of everything.

Best home we’ve stayed in Key Colony!

Smooth check-in, clean, up to date home. Conveniently located in Marathon. This home provided quite a bit of space to spread out comfortably We Loved the screened in porch. We towed our boat and docked it right out back of the house. We definitely will rebook Rita’s Paradise again if it’s available!
