Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury 3,000 Sf Single Family Home on Canal with Dock
Year Purchased: 1994
Why the Owner Chose Key Colony Beach
The first time I drove over the Vaca Cut bridge in Marathon I watched a young man catching tarpon. He offered me to join him and I immediately hooked onto a tarpon. It was quite a thrill. The next day I purchased a lot on Key Colony Beach. I chose Key Colony because it has access to both the ocean and FL Bay (via the Vaca Cut Bridge)without having to run far. It is a wonderful peaceful community with recreation, parks and a jogging path. When we moved to a larger home in 1994 we stayed on Key Colony.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The house is at 1230 Coury Drive (west side of Key Colony). Sunset Park is a short walk across the street. The beautiful sandy private beach (Inch Beach), of which we belong, is also a short walk from the house. The Cabana Club is on the East side of Key Colony and is approximately a 10-15 minute walk.
Owner's Map of Key Colony Beach
When I discovered the Florida Keys in the 1970s I immediately fell in love with the idea of fishing yearround in the beautiful blue waters of the FL Keys. As an avid fisherman, living in NY, I could not get enough time on the water so I moved to south FL and built a home on Key Colony Beach. My wife is from Miami and grew up on the water so the Keys are perfect for both of us. We enjoy snorkeling, lobstering, fishing, and cruising.
