Celebrating in the fabulous Florida Keys

Perfect spot for the two us, celebrating our Anniversary. Centralized for seeing all there is to see, but also so nice to just hang out at your home away from home, enjoying the private pool, dining on the patio, fishing from the dock, exquisite sunsets..... Such accommodating hosts, all about making sure your stay is the best it can be...and it was!! We will be back!

Awesome 2 bedroom home

This home is a great little gem of a place to stay. From the pool to the canal out back where we watched manatees and fished every day. The home it's self is layed out nicly with mostly new appliances. Will definitely be returning to this location. Thank you for allowing us to use your great place to celebrate my wife and her friends birthday's.

We had a wonderful vacation. The house was spotless. The manager was awesome. My daughter and I felt very safe. The location was perfect. We saw a manatee right off the pier. The kayaks, paddleboards, and bikes were a bonus. The manager went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. Highly recommend staying here.

Paradise!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The host was very accommodating and communicative. The house was very clean with all the amenities including cable, which was so nice as we were able to watch all of the football games. We saw manatees in the canal every day and caught a few fish from the dock! 10/10 would highly recommend :)

Total Rejuvenation!

This was a trip to find the sun and it was fantastic! Watching the birds and iguana on the canal and enjoying the pool while watching the sunset was food for the soul. The property was clean, the hosts were friendly & responsive. Great access by bike or foot for food @ many waterfront locations. Loved the state parks, nature centers and the restaurants. Great trip!

Piece of Paradise

This is truley a little piece of paradise! The house is very clean and well maintained. Beds are comfy, extra set of linens and Extra pillows. Fully stocked kitchen, everything you need for your stay. Having our own pool is such a bonus. We would spend our mornings exploring and our afternoons lounging by the pool. Alot of things to do in the area, from water sports, fishing, golf, mini golf, to name a few, never had to drive real far. A day trip to Key West is a must too!!! the drive is beautiful. The hosts Luis & Ayise are fabulous, they check in with you to see if there is anything you may need. The only bad thing was is that we had to leave.......We would definately stay here again when in the area.

Florida Keys first time stay

This was my first VRBO and I found the owners to be excellent and helpful. I was surprised at the cleanliness and high standards of the property. Everything that was needed was in the home and everything was clean and almost new condition. Since it was our first time there, the property manager was helpful in giving us suggestions and things to do ... as the week went on we found a few additional things that we loved. The pool was so much fun and warm. I highly recommend this VRBO. It is on the smaller size so it would not be good for a large group or large family. Sunset Park was our favorite location, it truly lived up to its name.

Fabulous location in the Florida Keys!

Great property on a dead end street in the beautiful community of Key Colony Beach ! Homeowner Luis was extremely helpful and communicative as we stayed at this property for an entire month . Beds very comfortable, all new appliances, and fantastic location to keep a boat on a very calm and well protected canal . They provided us with brand new magnifying mirror and light and 4 new cruising bicycles which were fantastic ! Highly recommend this property !!

Great Property

This home was the perfect getaway for our entire family! The heated pool was a fantastic bonus, giving the kids a place to swim when we weren’t at the beach, and we all enjoyed fishing on the canal. Its convenient location near everything you need in the Florida Keys made it an easy choice, and we’ll definitely be returning. Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful home – it’s fully equipped with everything you could need, and the owners were an absolute pleasure to work with!

Convenient but private

This is one of the best places to stay in Marathon. It's convenient to the grocery stores, and other areas, but is very private and comfortable. The dock names it nice for getting out to fish or dive, it's only a 10 minute cruise out to the open water. The check in and check out are easiest we've ever done, and the hosts have made sure everything you need is there from kitchen needs to extra towels for the beach or pool. Yes we will definitely stay here again. Thanks for a quiet home away from home to relax and unwind.

Keys Fun with manatee sighting almost daily!

This was my 1st stay in Key Colony Beach and the rental description was very accurate, very clean and very comfortable for a mature (not so young) couple. We had everything we needed in the house and more. The internet was great and my husband worked some remotely while I explored parks near by. The pool area is completed fenced in so my dogs could be out chasing lizards for fun while I enjoyed the pool and husband cooked on the gas grill. Since its located on a canal, we rented a boat for a few days and kept it right behind the rental in the canal. There were manatees visiting almost daily and I was able to give them a drink of fresh water from the fish cleaning station. The location was a little more than a stones throw from 2 good bar/eateries. I LOVE Sparky's smoked fish dip. The wind made it very pleasant for sitting outside by canal in morning and by pool in afternoon. I took a snorkling trip to Sombrero reef. It was great with calm seas and great visibility, Highly recommend. There are 2 paddle boards and I went out a couple of times but be aware it wasn't easy to launch and retrieve as there wasn't a leash on the boards. I rigged my own with a bungee cord and managed alone and Im in my late 50's so its doable. I also rode one of the bikes a few times and it was in good condition. The hosts communication was great as well! I look forward to returning next spring!
