Open Water Paradise 2/2 Half Duplex in Key Colony Beach at Marathon, FL

Place is really nice. Very clean and the owner was great with correspondence The only thing that was a bit of inconvenience was the one shower did not have a curtain.

Ralph was an amazing host and ensured we had the best stay possible. He went out of his way to provide us with tips on things to do and was very responsive in general. The duplex itself is an ideal spot for those with a boat, right on the water with a dock in the backyard. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the keys!

The host, Ralph is very accommodating, responsive and friendly! We communicated several times during our stay! He responded to text messages in a short period of time! The accommodations were immaculate and very comfortable!

Highly recommend Ralph’s Open Water Paradise. Beautiful area, gorgeous scenery. The unit is adorable, very clean, excellent location in the heart of a wonderful community. Furniture and beds very comfortable. Open floor plan for kitchen and living area with cute, fenced in backyard. Ralph was an excellent host

Our stay was really nice! The house was perfect, had everything we needed. Location was great. Ralph was beyond helpful and promt on responding, he was really wonderful to book with. We would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Key Colony Beach and at Ralph’s place. The location was great, we enjoyed having our boat right out back and our puppy truly enjoyed the yard. The house felt roomy and comfortable. It was nice to have Cabana Club access too. Communications were great overall. We would definitely stay here again!

This duplex was the perfect location as our base camp for exploring the keys. It's located on a bay instead of the narrow canal views that many homes in the area have. Sunrise is amazing from the covered back porch or on the dock. We saw dolphins and manatees from the dock as well. The beds were comfortable and having two full bathrooms was perfect. We also enjoyed using the fishing poles at the house to fish from the dock. The internet was quick, Netflix was on the TV to use, and a starter pack of paper goods was provided. There are multiple restaurants in walking distance, or use the two bikes at the house. We'll definitely be back!!

We visit Key Colony often and were super excited to find this home with great amenities such as the small fenced in yard for our pups and access to the Cabana Club. It was mostly a great experience but definitely some touches that need to be improved. For instance, the outdoor ice machine doesn’t work (the neighbors were planning on using and were disappointed). Only the TV in the living room worked, the one in the guest room had a poor quality, pixelated screen and we couldn’t get the one in the master bedroom to work at all. It wasn’t even plugged in when we arrived, when I did plug it in, it seemed to cause some other electrical issues. It was a bit taxing to have to remember a 10 digit code for entry into the home all the time, would be nice to have a shorter code. Shower in master doesn’t have curtain so there’s a fair amount of water that splashes out into the small bathroom. The toaster took a good 10 minutes to lightly toast bread. We couldn’t use the oven as it seemed turning it on caused the fire alarm to chirp or go off even before the oven was up to temperature. Walls are rather think between the duplexes so we had the joy of hearing our neighbors movies every night til around midnight. Not sure if it was thin walls or their TV up loud or a combo but just something to be aware of. The vacuum cleaner had zero suction, even after cleaning out the clumps of fur and what looked like leaves from the backyard we still weren’t able to use it to clean the property.

Great location and very nice, clean home. Perfect for an extended getaway.

Overall good neighborhood and clean house. Ample dock space. Owner is friendly and responded to questions immediately

Everything was perfect. Loved the complete fenced in area, perfect for my dog! Beautiful view. Nice dock with snook light. I would stay again!
