We truly appreciate your 10/10 rating and kind feedback. Thank you for choosing our place—we’d be happy to welcome you again in the future here at Ocean's Cay Villas!
We truly loved the property as everything was perfect with the host making it easy to check-in through her attention to us when we had questions. The house was perfect, as advertised, with unbelievable views, warm inviting pool and use of all the kayaks & other toys. We had 10 staying at the home and there was plenty of space for everyone. We will definitely be booking this home again. A 10 out of 10 home.

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you loved your stay and appreciate you choosing our place. You’re always welcome back here at Ocean's Cay Villas!
We had 6 adults and 4 kids in this great house. Pool was lovely, great sunset every night. Manager was easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. Great location, about an hour to Key West and 45 min to Islamorada. Lots of local restaurants that were fantastic.

Our vacation at this property was an absolute dream. This property is everything you could every wish for and more. Jessieca was an absolute doll with everything being just perfect! I do not know how she manages all three of these properties and keeps them all top notch.The house is gorgeous, the property is prestine and the views are breathtaking. Not to mention all of the amenities that come with the property. This really is the most beautiful place on earth and we will be back! Since returning from our vacation, I've had several people inquire about the info for this property. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise with our family! Simply amazing.
The property is very nice. We had all the amenities we could ever want. Close to so many things to do while in Marathon. An hour drive to Key West. We will definitely be visiting again next year.

Thank you so much for choosing Ocean Cay Villas. We enjoyed hosting you and would gladly welcome you back anytime.
House was perfect! Beautiful location! Loved all of the water toys, pool, dock, and outdoor area. Great layout for a large group. Very clean house and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable. Nice having 3 king beds and lots of balcony area to watch the sunset or boats on the water. Snacks supplied were a nice treat. Ownership very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend

Thank you for choosing ocean Cay Villas for you Florida Keys vacation. Looking forward to have you here again in the future!
This property is incredible. Right on the Gulf and you have 180 degree view of the water. The house is new and clean and has every amenity possible. Kayaks, bikes,and even fishing gear. Caught several fish right off the sea wall in back. Jessieca the property manager was wonderful and checked on us frequently during the stay. We will be back!

Thank you for your amazing review! We truly appreciate you choosing our home for your stay and are glad you had a positive experience. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we would love to host you again here at Ocean's Cay Villas!
This is a great property at a great location. The only reason that this property did not get 5 starts is that that the property manager or staff was on site EVERY SINGLE DAY. You want to enjoy your coffee on the deck in the morning and enjoy the ocean, not without someone outside moving your things and constantly milling about. They would move our fishing gear, one morning they shut off and removed our air pumper from our bait bucket. It just seemed VERY unnecessary for them to be there every morning and touching our stuff. It felt like we were not alone in what should have been a private vacation! Additionally, the walls are very thin at this property. The neighbors were us until 1-2 am almost every night playing bags and the "Thud" of bags landing was very inconvenient.

About the host
Hosted by Jessieca
I'm married with one 19 year old daughter (who is in college) and I live in the Florida Keys and enjoy working with my husband (He is a land developer) and I love day trips to the different Key islands and we both enjoy any kind of live music in the Keys. I love fishing, boating, and working our vacation rental properties. I take pride in not only managing the property efficiently but also actively engaging with the tenants to make sure they will have the best experience in our homes. I go beyond basic responsibilities to build rapport and ensure their comfort.
Why they chose this property
With a lifelong passion for travel and the sea, I envisioned and dreamed of hosting and managing what I believe the most beautiful property in all the Florida Keys. A house where guests could escape and relax in the magic of the Florida Keys. This dream materialized into Oceans Cay Villas Marathon, a place designed for comfort, relaxation, and adventure. My dedication to hospitality and love for the vibrant local culture of Marathon Keys inspired me to establish this unique getaway.
