    Wonderful house on a beautiful canal. Fantastic amenities. Will definitely reach out on our next visit to The Keys!

    This was our 4th annual trip to Marathon. We have stayed 3 out of the 4 years in KCB and LOVE the area. This house was our favorite out of the 4 years. It had everything we needed for our 3 couples. The house was clean & fully stocked from the kitchen to the pool. It had a good dock for our 28 foot boat with easy access to the Atlantic & Vaca cut. We enjoyed the view, screened in porch and the big, clean pool. Check in was a breeze and Melissa was very accommodating and responded quickly. It was so nice to have restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely rent this home again.

    We absolutely loved our stay. This property comes with many extras-fishing poles, kayaks, bikes, popcorn machine, pickleball courts, golfing, park, beach towels and chairs. Gail was very quick to respond with questions I had and helped make our stay that much more special. My family highly recommends this property.

    We loved this property! We have stayed in a lot of place in Marathon and this one is our favorite! Very well stocked, lots of space for everyone to enjoy, boat dock and cleaning station are great! Fishing in the bay was better than in the canal. Easy access to vaca cut. Pool was a great size for floating around and very private. We will be back!

    We truly enjoyed our stay at this property (March, 2024). There were 3 couples and we had plenty of room and fun things to do there. The pool was great, plenty of towels! There was even a karaoke machine that we had fun with by the pool. Really enjoyed the Margarita machine (that made a great fresh fruit, slushy margarita that was so nice to have by the pool)! Plenty of fishing poles. I caught a baby sand shark- yikes that the guys let go -lol. Beds were comfortable and the showers —- they were awesome. Had fun riding the bikes around and going for walks in the peaceful area of Key Colony. The only drawback was the basement room which had a musty smell. Overall a wonderful place to stay!!!!

    This was our first time in the keys. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Location was perfect because we wanted to be able to visit all of the major keys and we were able to do that without spending too much time in the car. Location was perfect because we felt like we were part of the community of Key Colony Beach. Very welcoming community. Location was perfect because we were able to see dolphins every day from our house, as well as a stingray, manatee and a bonnet head shark. We had the most amazing time and the house was clean, the host was very easy to work with and we would absolutely stay here again and again.

    Communication before, during and after our stay was wonderful. Missy was very prompt with her replies and thorough with answers. The pool was very nice just extremely deep so harder for the little ones to use. It needed a little TLC, but nothing major and the pool crew was there on our first day. We used every bed the house offered, and every bathroom. It was nice having three bathrooms, but they were on the smaller side and with the style sink, lacked counter space. The showers were neat with almost every shower spray option imaginable. Slightly tricky to operate at first, but once we got the hang of it it was no big deal. We loved the ice machine on the porch. It was very convenient for coolers and beach days, and the poolside fridge was nice as well. We do wish the listing had more details of what amenities were available so we could have packed lighter (snorkel gear, outdoor speaker, bikes and paddle board). Another thing not listed but the manager did disclose to use prior to our visit was the third bedroom on the ground level only has an entrance from the outside of the house. The location of the house was perfect. Right in the middle of the Keys, in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of shops and activities nearby to enjoy. Overall our trip was very enjoyable.

    You won't be disappointed staying here. The house is spacious, both bedrooms and baths are large and updated. The living area offers commanding views of the water and the porch makes morning coffee and evening cocktails relaxing. The weather wasn't the best but we were able to enjoy the pool area (expansive) and did make into the pool on occasion. The house is well stocked with anything you could want and location is hard to beat. A perfect welcome to KCB!

    The house was perfect for our laid back family. We enjoyed golf, pickle ball, tennis and daily bike rides. The king beds were comfy as were the nice newly remodeled bathrooms.
