Key Colony Beach Escape
The property is exactly as shown on VRBO. It was very clean and ready for our stay. Dee was very responsive for the minor problems that came up, even notifying us about the town having a water main break and subsequent boil order. The bikes and kayaks are a big plus along with the Cabana Club. I can't say enough good things about Dee.

Amazing time
The house location and amenities were great! We could stay in one place and never get bored - pool, kayaks, bikes, beaches ... everything in one place. The house had everything we needed and more, great location, close to other attractions. Dee as a host could not be more friendly and gracious, communication was flawless. Thank you and we will be back for sure!

Wonderful house and location
The property was clean and well kept. Communication with Dee the owner was great. She was quick to respond to questions, gave great local suggestions, and made sure we had everything we needed. Check in was easy. We had 4 people. 2 adults and 2 “teens” who were both 18. The spot had sun and shade. Looking at the canal everyday was a treat. The bikes, kayaks and paddle boards were an added bonus. IF you have small children this might not be the place for you. The water access is very easy (a plus for us) and the cabana pool does not allow toys. So little ones might not be happy about that. Inch beach was right up the road and the cabana pool does have beach access as well. We tried to book for next year, but the dates we needed were taken already. We would book here again and hopefully can when our schedule isn’t so limited.

Great location. The Caban club was a nice treat. The waterfront bulkhead was convenient for docking our boat. The beds were extremely comfortable and the home was exceptionally clean. The living room and family room furniture could use some updating, however everything was clean and comfortable.

Great week in KCB!!!!
This was our second year in a row staying in KCB and our first time staying at Dee's place. The place was just as described .It was roomy and clean. The king bed in the master was very comfortable. We rented a boat for a few days and it was great to be able to dock right on the canal. It was great to have the bikes to use and I also used the golf clubs one day. We did not use the paddleboard or kayak since we rented the boat. We definetley will next time. We enjoy the Cabana Club and also went to Inch Beach one day. Also enjoyed the Key Colony Inn for dinner and drinks a couple times. We hope to return next year.

Boater's paradise
Our family of four loved your water front home! It was a perfect layout both inside and out. We easily moored our boat right out back and relaxed in the comfortable Adirondack chairs by the water's edge. The separate bait freezer worked great for our daily fishing trips and my daughter loved exploring the canals on your paddle board and kayaks. The living area was extremely comfortable and the beds were great after a long day of exploring the keys. We look forward to returning again soon! Thank you!

Cute spot - great stay for price
Key Colony is wonderful in the winter months for weather when we have visited. The property has many nice touches. Close to some great restaurants and Sombrero Beach, Turtle Hospital, a Publix! The membership to Cabana Club and Inch Beach make it very special. Some of nicest beaches (not rocky) to get into in the Keys. Place is not fancy, but comfy and has space for a family. Nice large island in the kitchen and bigger than I thought from the photos. Patio very nice and calming. Getting kayaks into the water is not super easy. Kayaks were water logged and heavy. Hard to lift up out of canal. Bikes could use updates like handles (some only have tape) and new seats on a couple. But a nice extra that comes with this spot. Bikes hard to get in and out of shed. Shed area was a bit crowded and could use organizing for someone that might bother, we were fine with it. We are an active family so we used bikes daily to get to beach and club. Having chair and umbrellas a coolers provided and super nice bonus. Sadly my husband broke an umbrella but we ordered a replacement- the wind just took it way one day at beach. Watch out for gusts of air. 3 dolphins swam by us first day around 8:30am in the canal. Lots of birds and fish in canals. Great views and sunsets on patio. Owner extremely nice and helpful. This is my 11th trip to the Keys. Would we return 1 yes. Tons of space and extras for a very reasonable price. Kids board games also. Suggestions just because I felt some of my clean obsessed friends would appreciate this reviewed and suggested.. Kitchen has lots of items. I would clean it up a bit and minimize hard to remember where things go. I would also organize and clean the shed and leave more laundry soap and more toilet paper for guests. No one wants to spend extra $ for that on vacation and buy 4 rolls when you might need one. Closet in 2nd bedroom is musty with the golf clubs and needs deep cleaning. The house is a duplex and you can definitely hear through the walls. We could hear the boys next door coughing and talking in the morning through the wall. We didn’t mind but if you are a light sleeper or total quiet is your goal know you share the backyard pretty much and can hear through the walls and hear your neighbors. Dee responds quickly and you can tell she cares about her guests having a great time. Overall great spot! Enjoy!

Peaceful vacation spot in the Keys!
This was our first time visiting the Keys and it did not disappoint! Dee was very responsive and an excellent host. The house had everything we could've possibly needed. It was well maintained, clean, and had great water pressure in the showers (lol- those of you with lots of hair know how important this is :)). Spent our days kayaking and fishing in the canal, riding bikes to Sunset Beach and Inch Beach, swimming at the pool and beach at Cabana Club (and enjoyed their frozen drinks!), chartering with Two Conchs Fishing, renting a private boat 3 days from Tropical Boat Rentals, snorkeling twice at Sombrero Reef, sandbars, visited the Sea Turtle Hospital, and spent a day in Key West. We had a wonderful time and have so many memories with our boys, ages 10 and 13. We'll definitely rent from Dee again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Dee

Host profile image
My dad, Gerald Smith originally bought this duplex for family vacation and have SO many wonderful memories! He and my mom loved it so much there, they eventually moved to Key Colony Beach! They lived in KCB for about 10 years, they sold 1/2 of the duplex, enjoying Keys life in the other half. A few years later, due to decline in health, they moved closer to children.
Since moving to the " mainland" we decided to make their keys home available to others so that they could make their own keys memories with their families and friends and enjoy it as much as our family has and continues to do when we can
