Great location and a good central place to explore the Keys
We really enjoyed our trip and would stay again. This duplex is on a quiet street a short walk from a membership club right on the beach with a bar, pool and hot tub. It is the best of both worlds, getting a quiet roomy place to stay then head over to the Cabana Club for some beach time.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The dock on the canal was our favorite spot. Watched many sunsets and caught a few small fish! Overall we would stay here again.
We stayed in the unit for 2 weeks.The property was clean and the location is perfect. We missed a few things from the kitchen equipment, but it was not a big deal. There was only one thing we didn’t like: we had to share the dock with another unit. This info should be in the description. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.
This property was great for my family's vacation! It was close to the fishing bridges and Marathon for eating and shopping! Would definitely stay here again in the future!
Overall our stay was very good. Easy access into the house and a quick boat trip out to the Atlantic. The kitchen was equipped well enough. The beds were very comfortable! If I had any suggestions it would be to upgrafe the living room furniture and repair the porch screens. Definitely would stay here again. We had 1 very minor issue and the owner was on it within minutes, with issue resolved!!

Loved the view and proximity to the cabana club.. Great large screened in porch...Beds slept well but small. Very dog friendly....Left beach towels we brought for others to use. Great place with great bar. I would definitely stay here again......
Beautiful property just as described! The location was very convenient to the club and restaurant. The owner was very responsive to our requests and quickly resolved a minor problem I would highly recommend and hope to return next year!
We enjoyed our stay in this duplex which was very clean and comfy. We especially enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch drinking our coffee and watching the sun rise. The unit is accurately described and we had no problems. Thanks!
This is our sixth stay at Key Colony and we always enjoy our stay! Access to the Cabana Club is great, be sure to get there early! We recommend the Key Colony in for a casual dinner, their Italian food is delicious and prices are the best around.
We were only a party of two but this unit could easily accommodate 4+ if you include the pullout sofa. Fish cleaning station, freezer, beach chairs (we left an umbrella!), seats on the canal, manatee visits... Great rental away from the hustle and bustle of Marathon!
Overall recommend this location. It has a large waterfront along with a back yard and patio. The interior has a large kitchen with a bar that is almost 20 ft long! Our family (two teens) enjoyed fishing off the dock. We really enjoyed the Cabana Club, which was a short walk away. They had a hot tub, heated pool, and private access to one of the best beaches in Marathon.
The house was very clean and ready for the 4 of us to "move" in... and we did. We enjoyed the beachy decor. Our favorite part was being able to simply catch fish from the dock including a 45lb. nurse shark!! It is a quaint community and so many families were gathered on their docks in the evenings to enjoy the water views. We felt very safe leaving our boat tied up to the dock during the evenings and meet many families traveling in the evenings while walking the dogs. Would recommend this location for small families and we look forward to booking again the next time we are in the Keys.
Had an excellent time here, Curt is great with quick replies and perfect instructions. The view is amazing, and we launched our paddleboards right from the dock and paddled right alongside the manatees! Everything you need is close by, plenty within walking distance, and sometimes it's just enough to fix a margarita and fall asleep under the banana trees and listen to the boats go by! If you are trying to decide between a few places, just pick this one. You won't be disappointed.
We drove down from Virginia and towed our boat. We stayed at this property for 2 weeks. Everything was as stated in the listing. The house was clean and neat and the kitchen was well stocked for our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the dock in the evenings and the convenience of having our boat right there. We were in the ocean in 5 minutes. Curt was very responsive to all communication from us and we would definitely stay in this property again. I can’t say enough about how beautiful the KCB area is. We rode bikes to several great local restaurants. Hubby and I both said it was our best vacay ever!! Can’t wait to go back.
We loved the house and location and can't wait to return. The inlet is a very short boat ride to open ocean. The location is the best side of key Colony because it is quick to the Gas dock and marina. Also not having to go thru vaca cut and the long way around into key colony due to The main highway that splits the streets and canals.obay the speed limits as there is local police and are very strict. The area is so relaxing and easy going the cabana club is alot of fun and the people who work there are very nice. It is a mandatory thing that due to the pandemic masks must be worn at the club. My wife and I are seriously looking to find our forever home there now that we have visited there.we are looking forward to our next visit!
There was a little issue when we got there because the cleaning crew had to leave and didn't make it back until just after our check-in time. Texted the host and it was taken care of immediately. On the last night, the AC went out. I was able to reset it a couple of times myself and keep it working. The host responded to my texts and tried to get someone out, but wasn't able to. Probably not his fault. All in all, this was a good place to stay. Looked just like the pictures and fit the disciption. Nice place on a canal with quick access to the ocean side and right to the reef. Being able to go the cabana club right down the street was great and more than made up for the fact that it didn't have its own pool. I really liked it and would stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our second stay at Curt's home. We had a great trip in 2010, sp we decided to rent his 2 bedroom this year. We have two teen age boys, and although his 1 bedroom was great and it suited our needs, the two bedroom had more room for us. It was so beneficial to have a washer and dryer, too. The home is well stocked and clean. We love to spend time on the dock. The Cabana Club is perfect and always inviting. You feel like you belong there, not as if you are renting or just visiting. We were sad to leave KCB and return to the winter in Minnesota, but we know we will return, and when we do, we will rent from Curt again. Thanks for sharing your home. The Swanson's.

Great stay for the price
We had a great time. The location was great and easy boat access to the Atlantic or gulf side. Be sure to have fenders if you bring your boat and a hair dryer as there wasn't one when we went. The cleaning crew did a poor job cleaning as there was sand and a fingernail in one bed and glitter in the other bed. We washed everything after noticing this. The wireless internet only worked well in the living room corner and didn't work at all in the farthest bedroom. The area is also very dog friendly, so we liked this. Overall had a great stay for the price minus the cleaning and internet issue. Would have given 5 stars if we didn't have any issues.

Our Stay
Location was nice. Easy to get to and from places.
Now the place could use to repair. As there are several places where title floor was missing ( master bedroom where dresser next to outside wall), to left of washer and dryer that closet that hid I believe the AC unit, behind the fridge missing title ( the fridge is at the end of the wall next to hallway so you can clearly see the gap of missing tile).
Not sure what Florida law is when it comes to smoke alarms. But there was one that didn’t work but it was near one that did work. So not uncommon to see multiple smoke alarms in a room but one not work when you pushed the test button ( I’m a firefighter so it’s common for me check these since there was at least 1 working in room the non working one I was ok with since was working one. But to have multiple in a room and one not work is strange to me)
I know with VRBO’s ect you can tell if it’s a home someone lives in vs renting out as rental property. This clearly a rental property for beach vacation.
That’s perfectly fine. But why a hodgepodge of everything. The dishes, silverware, towels, bedsheets ect are random. Yes each bed set matched, but 2 different bed sets were random from each other, the silverware didn’t even have a complete set, plates random sizes ect. It’s like they went thrift store and got whatever they had there.
For a place that is used to rent for beach guest is needs an update.
