Private Beach Retreat! Luxurious Bedding, Relaxing Pool, Best Sunsets, Fast WiFi

We live the Key Colony area for the quiet, cleanliness, and secure area. Everything is well kept and the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was wonderful and the beach is very nice (yes, there is the seaweed but no one can control this at any beach in the Keys). They did so well keeping the sand clear. The condo was very clean and well equipped. We love the Marathon area since it is mostly half way to Key West and many restaurants in the area to choose from.

If you are reading all these, you are narrowing down your search. Let me help you - this is it! The perfect mix of pool, beach, perfect lodging, and location. We took two 13-year old girls and stayed in Marathon as our center spot. We flew to FL and then we drove down from Miami and got in around 5pm after stopping at the Publix for groceries. Breakfast and lunch at the condo and dinner out each night. The pool was perfect and never busy - lots of chairs, even during spring break time. The beach also had plenty of chairs and umbrellas and lots of room. We fished from shore at the condo and caught several small fish and grunts, also saw rays and other creatures from the water. The condo is perfectly decorated and was great for the 4 of us. Marathon is the perfect center location for stuff to do, the Bahia Honda State Park, food, turtle hospital, and Key West (90 minutes south). We have ZERO complaints or suggestions for the condo itself - just perfect. Check in/out was easy with the key pad. Bring some quarters for laundry but that was very easy to do. Go to Sunset Park at night (VERY short walk). We loved Island Fish Co. and Sparkys (grilled the fish we caught). Stopped at Robbys on the way down which was super fun in Islamorada. Buy a key lime pie or two for your freezer at night. We will return, and will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Before we left Boston, we received a text from the host saying that there were wildfires in and around Miami warning us that the highway to Key West had significant delays. Luckily, we flew into Key West. That was very thoughtful to reach out and tell us. (BTW, watch for police when you leave the Key West airport - we got tagged). When we arrived at the condo, there was a welcome gift bag. That set the warm and friendly tone for our entire stay. The condo was clean, comfortable and the linens were new and soft - great pillows. The kitchen had everything that we needed. Even extras that most VRBOs don't offer like dish detergent, food wrap. They have a drying rack for towels, beach chairs, coolers, games, etc. The beach was amazing. It's raked every morning so there was no seaweed. The pool was quiet and never busy. The beach and pool are really only steps away. Even my hubby could do it with arthritic feet. There is a washer and dryer outside the condo door. They both take 2.00 in quarters. Not a huge drawback. Just come prepared. It's close to grocery and souvenir shopping. We golfed at Florida Keys Golf Course - not awesome course but so friendly. Went to Bahia Honda, don't waste the time. The beach here is 1,000 times better. We swam with the dolphins and Sea Lions - that's a must do. Of course, walk to the sunset. If I ever come back to the Keys I would stay here and I even might come back just to stay here. Very highly recommended!

Our stay at 33 by the sea was great! The room layout was perfect for our family as it allowed the kids their space and us some privacy. Very clean with everything that a family can need provided from dishes to towels and laundry. The pool and private beach were very nice. Prime location made it very easy to key hop to the upper and lower keys. Close to grocery shopping, restaurants, several activities and attractions. One of the highlights of 33 by the sea was sunset park which is 2 minutes walking distance. We've traveled all over the world and the sunsets there were top tier. We accidentally left some clothes and the owners shipped them to us. Definitely recommend choosing 33 by the sea.

We had a wonderful stay at Thirty Three By the Sea! The condo had everything we needed, was spotless and the property has every amenity you could want.

The location was perfectly central for my son’ and husbands’ scuba trips!

This place is a gem! The cleanliness, the homey feel, and the amenities were all perfect for our family. We loved the pool and beach, along with our location in the Keys. 10 out of 10 for us!

Nice quiet property. Grass area at beach was very nice. You could sit under palm trees and watch all the boats come by. The room was very clean.

Great location, quiet and clean. Attention to detail was fantastic and they had all the extras you could ask for. Fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs, towels…everything was thought of.

Very nicely decorated and furnished. Great location and neighborhood. Only suggestion for the owner would be to upgrade the TV cable to HD (only SD provided). Otherwise, highly recommended!
