Key Colony Beach, Florida
If you've never heard of or been to what locals have classified as "The Gem of the Florida Keys," Key Colony Beach in Marathon Florida is your PERFECT RETREAT! Marathon is an island in the "middle keys," about 2.5 hours south of Miami, and 1 hour north of Key West. Key Colony Beach aka KCB is a peninsula type island attached to Marathon.
This community has everything needed for your trip to the keys!! The reason we love Marathon and Key Colony Beach is it IS the most family friendly destination in the Keys, with SO MANY activities for the entire family! And it's near EVERYTHING you may need to help enjoy your trip such as pharmacies, grocery, restaurants, bars, etc.
We also love this location because you can walk to the Cabana Club (private members only pool and beach and hot tub--AND YES YOUR RESERVATION INCLUDES DAILY USE OF THE CABANA CLUB!) which has a bar/cafe you can eat/drink/swim and sun at while meeting all the regular annual visitors, which is right next door to Havana Jacks Oceanside Restaurant and Bar. You can swim and sun in the fun all day and take a 30 second walk over to this family friendly restaurant in the evening or for happy hour while watching your kids snorkel at Cabana Club Beach!
Located on the Atlantic Ocean side, this EAST facing 1/2 duplex home gives you bright morning sunrises and happy hour in the shade!-- more desirable!
If the Gulf of Mexico waters are more your thing, or you prefer the calmer waters on windy days, VACA Cut (the cut-through under US-1 from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf you can take your boat through) is a 7 minute boat ride away!
Is Fishing or Diving or Snorkeling your thing You're minutes away by boat from the BEST fishing destination in the entire United States! 20 miles to the Marathon Humps for Mahi and Tuna Fishing, a few miles from the coral reef for unlimited fishing, lobstering, snorkeling, spearfishing, diving on one of the most unique underwater destinations in the world! There's a bait and fuel shop right outside of Vaca Cut to pick up fuel, food, ice, and gear for your fishing trip minutes from the house. You can rent fishing gear here as well.
There's a bait freezer on property in a small storage closet for guest use.
Rent a boat (reach out to owner for recommendations), go on a charter for fishing or diving or snorkeling right around the corner from the property. Reach out if you need help, guidance, or even fishing spots! Most places in Marathon offer a "Hook and Cook" or "Catch and Cook" option when you bring your catch of the day to the table... Check out Lazy Days South Restaurant for a fantastic ocean view, excellent food, and cheap drinks, a locals favorite! Or reach out to the owner for more information!

Don't forget to check out Aquarium Adventures for a day of fun on dry land which is locally owned, the Sea Turtle Hospital down the street, or swimming with dolphins just a short drive up the keys! Don't forget to hit Robbie's in Islamorada to feed to tarpon!!! So much fun with the kids, and adult fun available to quench your beach thirst on a hot day!

We loved the area. The kitchen was great and fully stocked with what you need for a week. We had a great visit.
Property is very convenient to Keywest, Everglades and Miami. Beautifully decorated. Very quiet neighborhood. Neighbors next door and down the street very friendly. Tv's in every room. All the comforts of home were in the house. Everything worked perfectly. Joe the owner was extremely helpful if you needed anything. Beautiful sunsets. Traffic was not a problem in Marathon. That's why we picked the area. Close to Keywest but far enough away to enjoy coming home to this VRBO in Key Colony Bch Marathon after a hectic day in Keywest. The property is amazing, peaceful and quiet. Best location in the Keys with great accommodations with great restaurants in either direction.
This place has everything you need and more. Casa Tua Retreat vacation rental is clean, bright and beautiful decorated just what you want and need for vacation Everything is has been provided. We enjoy our vacation there and hope to return for longer next time. Joe is easy to communicate with .
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Joe was fantastic to work with. Excellent communication and beautiful location. The club with the pool and beach were a great added benefit.
The property is safe, clean and access to a pool/ beach. Close to everything.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is in a great location and it's a very easy walk to the Cabana Club pool. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and everything we needed (and more!) was available. Access to the bicycles was a nice touch and provides an easy way to explore the island. Our son loved fishing from the seawall and we kept a few nice snapper for dinner. Communication with the host was excellent. We'd be happy to stay here again.
The house was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. Everything was as-advertised including 4 new bikes that were of great use. The host was excellent and provided plenty of insight above and beyond basic house information. We would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful two-week stay at CasaTua in early January. The home was perfect for our needs, and we took full advantage of the dock space and spent every day out in our boat. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is well-appointed. We had the pleasure of meeting Joe at the nearby Cabana Club prior to our stay. The courtesy membership for guests is a nice addition to the perfect setting. During our stay, Joe was very responsive to any of our questions. We definitely recommend this little gem on Key Colony Beach!
Nice location and beautiful property in key colony
Beautiful home centrally located in the keys for quick access to all. Perfect size for 4 adults, comfy beds, clean and well cared for!! We rented a boat that was delivered and kept right in the canal at the house all week for early morning fishing trips out into the gorgeous waters of the Atlantic and spent the afternoons/evenings exploring the islands. Take in the sunset at the park or Sunset Grille or, like us, both! The owner is very responsive and provided answers to all questions! I would definitely stay here again.
This property was perfect for me, my husband and adult son. We like the convenience of Marathon with plenty of restaurants and stores and the community that the house was in was very nice with access to a pool for days when my boys went out fishing! (Enjoyed some me time by pool with a nice cocktail!) The owner was friendly and responded quickly as well as checking in with us periodically during our stay. Being able to dock our boat at the house was great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Clean, comfortable and well stocked! We will definitely return!
Very good interaction with the host Joe and when you had questions always answered in a timely manner. Great property and will book again . ❤️
Pictures don’t do justice for this property. Owner was great with any questions we had. Beautiful spot right on water. Unit was spotless and we very much wished we could just move right in. If you want an awesome experience then this property is the one.
Place is amazing and the host is great. I recommend without hesitation.
We had an absolutely amazing time down here. The owner was very available for questions and responds very quickly. He was helpful in providing additional advice for the area and checked in frequently to make sure things were going well. He even shipped baking sheets through Amazon since they had somehow gone missing from the house! The location is absolutely stunning. The perfect location for early morning rising and reading at the back of the house along the calm canal. There are so many places close by to experience with only a 1 hour drive to the keys and 1 hour drive to key largo. The Cabana Club was a wonderful amenity. The people at the Cabana Club provided great service and the place was kept very clean. There were not a lot of kids causing extreme noise. Some of our favorite experiences were the Havana Club next door to the Cabana Club, Captain Hook's for a snorkeling trip out in the very clear water (and had amazing pricing), and The Island Fish Company! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Joe!
Our experience with Joe was great. He was easy to get ahold of and on top of communicating and updates. The house is beautiful. Love the decor, from wall colors to furniture. It felt like a place you could lounge and have family game night. Best part was sitting on the lanai, under the umbrella, eating dinner or having a drink to wind down the day and enjoy the view. Can't wait to do it again next year!!!
