The property was just as described and perfect for us. Great location, beautiful views and excellent communication with the host. This will be our go-to spot anytime we visit the Keys.
The host was amazing. The house was laid out beautifully for a family. The location could not have been better, absolutely loved Key Colony Beach, and all that it had to offer. The pool was an added bonus to the house overlooking the canal, gorgeous views for sunset and sunrise. The Cabana Club was also a nice added bonus for a larger pool and a white sand beach.
This was by far one of the best VRBO’s I have stayed in. There was nothing that was needed that wasn’t available. Everything was thought of to make our vacation outstanding. The house and pool were clean, There were bikes and kayaks for fun and Laura, the host, was great to work with. We will definitely book again if we return to Marathon.
Great property in great location! We’ve been coming to the Keys for 15 years and this was one of the best properties. Property manager was easy to work with and the house was beautiful and nicely stocked. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for the great review. If you decide to come back to the keys I hope you will book with us again. Laura
First of all, Laura was amazing and great help before, during and after the stay. The pool was amazing and we used it daily. Key Colony is such a great area with so much to do. Overall, the house is outdated and quite quirky. For example, on the screened in porch there is a counter height table with 2 chairs that are counter height and two chairs table height. This makes using the table for four people impossible. There are a number of things that just need to be updated to make this unit what it could be.

Lisa, thank you for your review. We purchased our home three years ago and are continually upgrading it. Last year we added the pool and we plan to update the kitchen this fall. We do try to provide a well stocked, comfortable home, so our guests can enjoy their stay.
The table on the balcony is only a two top, the other chairs were placed on the balcony to allow additional guests to enjoy the great Florida weather. Based on your review maybe we will add a dining table on the balcony for meals. Thanks again for booking with us. Laura
Nice vacation place on the canal. Upstairs has an open floor plan and a screened in section of the porch. Close to everything in Marathon. Very clean place. Would definitely stay there again. Also only a few blocks from Sunset Beach. Amazing sunsets.
A fantastic property, spacious, clean, right on the nice canal and good access to the Gulf and to the Atlantic. We enjoyed it tremendously and will probably come back again. Thank you.
Excellent location, easy access to Vaca cut gives you gulf or ocean option within minutes. The house was super clean and come very well appointed with all the necessities. The pool was the big winner here, it was cool every day we came back in. Laura is amazing!! Very quick to respond with answers to all questions. 10/10
We brought our family dog included, friends and our boat and this was the perfect stay. Clean, boat ramp was right around the corner perfect place to stay. No a single complaint. Corresponding with home owner was quick and easy. Very nice & will return next year!
Great location with lots of room for everyone to be comfortable. The canal was a great addition for my teen grandson that loves to fish and we saw manatees there in the evenings. 😍 The property was as described and the property manager was easy to communicate and answered all questions promptly. Definitely will be renting this property again in the future!
The home worked out perfectly for our trip to the keys, bringing our boat in our family. We got to enjoy many days out on the water with the convenience of the boat in the backyard. It made the trip so much easier. The home worked out great for our family. There’s a lot of room to stretch out between the First and second floor.

Thanks for the great review. We are so glad the house worked so well for your family. We hope you will book with us again on your future trips to the keys.
My family of four had a wonderful vacation in this home. The description does not do this house justice. The house is SO well stocked and had anything and everything we needed. There was a closet full of towels and wash cloths. The laundry room had detergent and stain remover. There was extra trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels for use. There were also kayaks, bikes, life jackets, and pool floats to use. The pool was a little bigger than the pictures made it out to be. The beds were comfortable as well which isn’t always the case when renting houses. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. If we return to Marathon, we will definitely try to rent this house again.
This was a great house! It had everything needed for a fun stay in KCB. Very quiet and right on the canal. The house is well appointed and lacked nothing. We spent a lot of time and ate many meals on the second floor screened in porch overlooking the canal. It's only a few blocks from Sunset Park and a short walk to the Cabana Club and Havanah Jacks. You could also do a longer walk to Sparky's Landing or the Island Fish Company--all great restaurants. There were 3 bikes for use as well as two adult kayaks and one child's kayak which were easy to launch from the dock. It's right across from the golf course and park that also has pickle ball, tennis and other games. This was our second stay in KCB and our first stay in this house, but would definitely come back.

Thank you for the great review. We would love to have you stay with us again. In completing your review I hit 4 stars on one of the ratings by accident and didn’t see it until after it was submitted. I am trying to fix it now.
We had a great two weeks in KCB. The place is very nice. I hate to say too many nice things about it because I want to be able to go next year. The location is great. The pool was nice. They have everything you need.
