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!

YES YOU CAN DOCK UP TO A 30' BOAT ON OUR DOCK. Most boat rental businesses will literally drop it off at the dock when you arrive, and pick it up when you leave-- easy peasy!
WE HAVE 2 BIKES FOR OUR GUESTS TO USE!

You can keep one trailer on the property as well during your stay if you bring your own boat!

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!

This 1000 sq ft 2 Bedroom 2 Bath home is located on a 30’ boat dock on a canal with direct Atlantic Ocean access!!! You can fish RIGHT OFF THE DOCK and catch dinner, or watch the manatee surface in the evening hours with your cocktail in hand!

There's a fish cleaning table right at the dock for clean your catch of the day! Bring your boat, or reach out to owner for recommendations on where to rent for the best deals!

The home is literally located a 2 minute walk to the Cabana Club, Key Colony Beach's premier private beach and pool club where you can take in the sunshine with a bartender supplied drink in your hands while your kids play in the sand, or cool off in the HUGE saltwater pool!
This location is also perfect for 2 couples, offering nightlife an Uber ride away. Dozens of fantastic oceanfront restaurants and eateries within minutes from Key Colony Beach.

There's a running path throughout the neighborhood, or take one of the bikes provided for our guests to explore the wonderful Key Colony Beach neighborhood.

You're minutes away from easily accessible grocery stores, pharmacies, bait shops, pizza places, restaurants (4 on the island of key colony beach alone), gas stations, liquor stores, Ice machines, etc. Please reach out to owner to have your groceries and supplies provided in advance prior to arrival!
Souvenier shops nearby, shopping, fishing gear, baits, boats everything you need!

    We had a great stay! The house was just what we needed for a week family vacation. Joe was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We loved the cabana club during the day (staff, food and drinks exceeded our expectations) and fishing the canal in the evenings. Highly recommend booking here!

    My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. The unit was as advertised, clean and bright. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and utensils. The backyard had a wonderful canal view and privacy. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet. Key Colony is a great place to stay in general with walkable neighborhoods, great pickleball, and a fun nine hole golf course. The short walk to Havana Jacks from the house is also a huge plus.

    Overall a great place to stay for a fun week in the keys. Relaxing location on a pretty canal but only 1/2 block walk to Havana jacks or the cabana club. We had some ac issues but the landlord was responsive and handled the problem fairly.Stuff happens to beach rentals so that’s all you can expect The house was very well equipped for cooking and relaxing. WiFi is a bit slow but is that really a problem on vacation?? Overall wonderful experience

    We love Key Colony Beach so much that we return every year! Love sunset point and the farmers market. Great location for exploring Key West or upper Keys. We cooked a lot, and this kitchen had everything we needed. Great home away from home.

    The house was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. We loved being able to sit out on the back porch by the canal and watch fish and birds and manatees. The beach club was very close and we went there most days and enjoyed it! The house was well stocked and kitchen had everything we needed. Great location to everything. Joe was very helpful in reaching out before we left to give us some ideas for different activities and restaurant recommendations and was extremely responsive while we were there if we needed anything. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!!!
