Nice Ocean Condo

The villa was just as advertised. It was spacious, comfortable, and quiet. The lanai was its best feature--perfect place for morning breakfast or quiet evening relaxing. Was disappointed that we could never get the WiFi to work and manager didn't seem to know how to fix the problem, although she tried. Would recommend a day at Sombrero Beach which isn't far from the condo. Also, Sunset Grill and Franks Grill for dinner. Leighanns Coffee Shop for breakfast.

We had a great experience and the condo was wonderful. It was clean, had everything advertised, and even had sand toys for our young boys to play with! The sea grass was raked each day and the beach was ready to enjoy. We had great weather as well and the tips for resturaunts and things to do were also helpful. When we were there we couldn't get the wireless connected but there were other options and it was not a big issue. Overall it was a great experience and we would return!

This is the third year in a row at the Coco Plum Villas and hopefully we will be back next year for a week or two. Condo was very clean when we arrived...view is excellent. Pool was well maintained, sparkling clean and warm. Kitchen very adequately equipped with stainless steel cookware, etc. Living room furniture very nice and comfortable. Quiet & relaxing.

Winter Retreat

We loved the views from the balcony. The sunrises were beautiful and the sound of small waves lapping on the shore was very peaceful. As regular visitors to the Keys, we did not expect a wide sandy beach, however the park next to the property offers a great natural beach for walking. If you want a big beach you need to visit the Atlantic or Gulf coasts. Protected by an offshore reef, the Keys offer many other advantages and natural beauty not found in the rest of Florida. The Condo was clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was also very quiet. Perhaps it was the time of year, but most of the other people staying there were getting up there in years. We love the Marathon area because there are so many things to do. I recommend a walk on the Seven Mile Bridge, visits to Sombrero Beach, Turtle Hospital, Dolphin Research Center, Marathon Lady Fishing Boat, Bahia Honda State Park, Curry Hammock State Park, and day trips to Key West and Islamorada. Also, the seafood at the many great Restaurants and the atmosphere at the numerous Tiki Bars are worth the visit. Be sure to catch a sunset at the Sunset Grill near the end of the Seven Mile Bridge. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting the Keys.

Everything about the condo was just as listed in the guidlines of the condo.It was very clean and penty of room for any gathering you would wish to entertain..we had extra towels,beach towels,and pleanty of kitchen utensils for cooking.. I have to say i hope to get back there as soon as possible and be able to stay in this condo again.. was on 2nd floor with an elevator outside the door,pool was heated and perfect for a day of lounging and swimming reading with the palm trees above you and listening to the waves of the beach.. we had no problem with sea grass as someone came by to gather it and dispose each day we were there..you have atleast a mile long beach to walk on in each direction and the veiws were to die for both walking and looking out our condo windows and porch.. it is close to anything you need or want to see there on the island..we went to grocery,walgreens and shopping without having to use up the whole day on these chores..great for an afternoon adventure to many sights up and down the Keys 100 miles with time for the pool or beach still the same day.. the owner/operators were very helpful with any questions and with list of resturants that would be great to try and we did. a different one every nite..i have nothing but praise for this place and it was my first time renting a condo and i was a little worried about what to find but so surprised and happy with everything.

What a wonderful place to rest, relax and rejuvenate our bodies, minds and spirits! The condo was exactly as pictured and had every imaginable kitchen/cooking need supplied, except the food. We have rented through VRBO previously and this was the best experience yet. Although many of our days were spent on the beach or by the pool, we ventured to Key West (a lovely, picturesque drive) and toured the Turtle Hospital. We recommend both! We cooked for ourselves most nights and grilled outside as well. D&D Seafood market (on your left as you turn off the highway) was an excellent source of freshly caught fish, scallops, shrimp and the like. We also had a great time at Sparky's Landing for cocktails. Of course, do not miss experiencing the magnificent sunsets from the Sunset Bar and Grill at the end of Marathon. It's awe inspiring! We can hardly wait to return to the Villa on Coco Plum...

Nice Keys Family Vacation

Review Submitted 07/18/12

We had a great vacation. The condo was just like pictured, plenty of room for our family and had everything we needed, It was pretty clean when we arrived, we had to wipe the bathrooms and floors down, but not a big deal. We never did get the wireless internet working so that was a little troubling. We called for help but it was never returned. I would highly suggest taking some of the other reviews under consideration when choosing. The beach was a a shock. like others have said, it is nothing like the pictures. This is one of the only real type beaches in the keys so thats a plus, but Its nothing like other florida beaches. Its much smaller than it looks and I must worn of the smell. It was raked, but the side property is still full of the rotting grass and it gets stuck in the rocks out front so not only is it not pretty, but it smells like something i have never experienced before. We tried to walk twice and the first time the smell sent us running and the second the mosquitos were so bad we couldnt stay either. We did try the inch beach but that was not so hot either, lots of rocks. One great thing was the pool .it was uncrowded and we did spend most time there. Another was if you could get past the smell, the ocean is super calm, barley moves so you can just float around for hours if you wanted. There was lots to do and lots of cool places to eat and we had a blast, but I think the beach was a bust. We live on a beautiful Fl beach so it was disapointing, but luckily that was not the only reason we came. If you are coming for the beach I would take the reviews into consideration. If the beach isnt a big deal, the condo and pool were great and was at a great price.

My husband and I spent a week in this condo and had a great time. We were looking for a place to enjoy the sounds and beauty of the ocean and this property more than delivered. At the time we were there I learned from a permanent resident in the complex that this is the highest tide they have seen in 100 years. So the water was very high and there was an abundance of sea weed. The beach did not look as nice in the pictures, but that did not keep us from enjoying the ocean. If you were looking to walk the beach you really needed shoes. The seaweed did not keep us from enjoying our stay! The property maintenance crew would come along and grate the beach almost everyday. The condo itself is very nicely updated and the kitchen has everything you would need if you were planning to prepare meals. Paula provided a great list of her favorite places to eat and we found all of those we tried we great. Also the washer and dryer were very nice HE appliances. This area is a great location if you are looking to enjoy some peaceful quiet days at the condo , but you are just a little over an hour away from Key West. Two days we drove to Key West and enjoyed the day there. It was a great day trip for the days we were feeling a little more energetic! We have this on the list of return spots for vacation!

Coco Plum Villas sit right on the beach where you can enjoy walking or watching the birds from the lovely enclosed balcony. You can ejoy reading a book under the tiki or sunning and swimming in the pool right beneath the apartment. This condo is well appointed and maintained. We have rented here for over five years and enjoy it more each year. Sunset Park on Key Colony Beach is good for watching sunsets. Sunset Grill at the 7-Mile bridge can't be beat for sunsets and fun times.Go fishing with the Main Attraction or buy some fish or wonderful Keys shripm at the market and just enjoy cooking and eating in the condo where the view is as good as it gets. The Turtle Hospital and Crane Point are two good trips to learn about the area and be sure to take the boat out to Pigeon Key to see the buildings that still remain there and their history.

Our family spent are Christmas Break in your condo. It was a lovely experience. The condo was clean and the location was fabulous! The owner left a list of restaraunts that were most helpful and right on the mark! They were places we would not have found on our own. Thank you. The kitchen sink faucet was a bit unusual. It was difficult not to spray the cabinets and counters. They could use a few more bath towels and replace a couple of light bulbs(Patio). We used the grill outside one evening. We sat at the beach, used the beautiful pool and made some new acquaintances! We would definately return. Very relaxing. Just what we were hoping for.

Everything was as advertised. The condo is right by the ocean, with a beautiful view from the private balcony. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and spacious. There is a good-sized pool, which was also clean. The beach was maintained daily, so there was no problem with sea grass. The owner / property manager provided tips on where to eat and shop. Overall, we had a great stay.

Review Submitted 01/05/12

We stayed in this unit the first week of November. We found the condo to be very comfortable, with a great bed and recently updated flat screen tv with dvd player. The bathrooms were small, but a medicine cabinet in each bathroom provided ample storage space. The room had a beautiful view of the ocean. The porch was screened in, so it provided some protection from any bugs, in case it was needed. The unit also contained information on different local eating places, shopping locations, and additional handy information for guests, which was nice, considering this was our first visit to the keys. During the week we stayed, the condo was very quiet, with few people in the condo building. We were able to use one of the parking places under the unit, providing a shaded, covered place to park during our stay. One side next to the property is undeveloped. This allowed for a very quiet, relaxing visit, and made us feel as if we had our own isolated beach home for a week. This is something I rarely find in condo rentals! The pool area was very relaxing, and we enjoyed lounging there, listening to the palm trees rustling in the wind, with the gentle waves lapping up on the beach. The condo was in an ideal location in the keys, providing a good location to reach different destinations in the key. Some earlier reviews indicated a problem with the sea grass. We didn't experience an issue with it. The sea grass was on the beach every morning, but a tractor raked it up each day. The elevator was out of service for repairs for most of our stay, but I feel this was beyond the control of the unit owners. The unit is up 2 flights of stairs, which was not a big deal for us. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely consider renting this unit again in the future the next time I go to the keys!

Review Submitted 10/03/11

The condo was perfect and had everything we needed for our stay. The beach, on the other hand, was a different story. Due to the large accumulation of dead sea grass, there is no room to lay on the beach to get sun. Luckily, the pool was very nice :) The smell that came from the rotting grass was awful. The condo association did not rake the grass away daily, so it got pretty stinky during our stay. In the end, the condo was extremely roomy and had a cute patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean :). I hope the condo owners get together to figure out a better way to handle the sea grass mess.

Owner response: We are terribly sorry your stay with us was not perfect. Unfortunately, the beach can be clean one day and if there are strong ocean breezes, there can be weed issues the next. We wish you had contacted Paula because she would have notified the condo association and remedied the situation immediately. We will certainly add this to our welcome letter so others do not have the same experience. Thank you so much for writing your review. We are happy you found everything else to your satisfaction.

The condo was perfect. Clean, large, comfortable and well furnished. Everything you need for housekeeping and cooking. Wonderful pool. Good central location for Keys activities and right on the beach. Our only dissapointment was the beach which was full of rotting sea grass and plastic trash. I have to give credit to the association which paid for a tractor to clean the beach every day but the tides would bring it all back overnite. We were told that this is normal for the south coast of the keys at this time of year. It just didn't meet our expectations. Other than that we had a great time.

When we entered the condo, it did not smell clean - the bathrooms did not smell clean. The window in the master bedroom did not close completely, so the room was stuffy. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom wobbled and squeaked. There were crumbs under the table in the dining area. When we used a wet paper towel to wipe crumbs in the kitchen, it came back black. The restaurant/activities recommendations were great. The Dolphin Research Center was great, as was The Island Fish Company and Lazy Days. We discovered the Hungry Tarpon for dinner, which we would recommend. The view from the condo was very nice, and the pool/area was clean. The beach was combed of seaweed each morning. The tiki hut by the pool was great for relief from the sun.

Condo was beautiful! Everything was new or fairly new inside. Maintenance representative was very responsive. Excellent view, balcony very close to water. Nice pool and Gazebo on beachside. Private beach is maintained frequently which is necessary due to abundance of sea grass washed up along shore. Beautiful sand for strolling along the water. Location is one of best in keys since there are so few beaches in the keys. Location is near anything you need and central to all of the key islands.

My husband, son, daughter-in-law and I stayed in this condo. Walk right out of the back of the complex and be on the beach and in the ocean. The heated pool was fabulous, the beach was quiet and peaceful. We are in love with this area. This was our first time in the Keys but it will not be our last. We are hope to return next year and many more year after that. I was nervous because this my first time to use VRBO but extremely happy with the results. The condo exactly matches the pictures. We felt safe and relaxed on the beach. Thank you for the memorable vacation.

We liked the smaller size of the condo building with only 16 units and the area was quiet. The view of the ocean was wonderful and we loved the screened porch. Great ocean front swimming pool. The main thing that we were disappointed with was the lack of a grill as advertised in your listing. I called Paula the day after we arrived and asked about a grill and she said she would see what she could do. We never heard from her the entire week we were there.

Recommended for: Age 55+

Owner response: Because of the fire hazard and liability our condo association does not permit grilling on the premises.

Let me just say that this location is FABULOUS, in regards to the ocean. The condo complex is literally 20 ft. from the water. The small beach is very well maintained, and swept each morning. The view cannot be beat. This particular condo is very average compared to others I have stayed in thru VRBO. It could use a major update. The bedrooms are decent, bathrooms acceptable. The tv area could use a little warmth, regarding decor. It is very "cold" and I didn't want to spend much time there. We stayed in December, over Christmas, and apparently the condo had not been occupied for a while. I had to call the morning after we arrived to have it cleaned. The stove still had someone else's food on it, there was hair on the floor and the linens smelled stale. There was dust and bugs in the kitchen cabinets that held the pots and pans. Paula from the rental agency immediately sent someone out to reclean. After returning from our day out, it smelled as if it was cleaned, but didn't look much better. Perhaps it's time to get another cleaning service! The pool area is clean and has plenty of chairs. Marathon itself is a strange area. There are alot of old, beat-up buildings and small businesses that have been closed and the properties are just left with junk and over-grown weeds. The restaurants are great, but very expensive. We could not go out for any meal and spend less than $50 for 4 of us. That is acceptable for dinner, but not for a lunch with burgers! The beaches are beautiful, the Dolphin Research Instititute was amazing and the kayak tour was very cool. However, we won't be returning to this area. Stop by on the way to Key West, just don't expect to have much to do for a week, especially with children. If you just want to wake to the sun, and hang at the beach, this will do the trick. If you want more luxury, look elsewhere. There are some nice hotels on the gulf side and in the harbor area. We definitely could have gotten a nicer hotel room for what we spent at the condo. This is a true southern beach area.

Our vacation was absolutely wonderful. The condo was awesome, and we loved the location. To me, the best part was the solitude and peacefulness: listening to the waves while lying in bed, watching sunrises (I'm an early bird so I caught most of them), and watching the moon reflect off the waves on the water; the moonlight put on quite a spectacular show one night. I felt like I was watching my own private moondance the way the light was reflecting off the ocean. My 23 yr. old was even impressed because the night before he was sitting out, and it was very dark (lots of clouds). We enjoyed the food and atmosphere at all the restaurants. I appreciate you giving us your list of recommendations. We celebrated my son's birthday @ Lazy Days in Islamaroda and everything was perfect. My husband & son both said it was the best dinner they ever had. Island Tiki was my favorite not only for the delicious food, but the sensational sunset! Loved the She Crab soup. My son's girlfriend doesn't eat seafood (I know, who doesn't like seafood?); she tried my soup and had to order a bowl for herself. We also turned her on to some conch fritters @ Sparkys. We got to Key West one day and did the trolley tour (one day was enough, prefer Marathon). We had lunch @ Blue Heaven which was pretty cool. We also did some other tours (Pigeon Key, Crane Point) and had fun snorkeling, jet skiing and swimming w/dolphins. It was really a great week! The weather was perfect. Just wish we could have stayed longer to do more things or maybe just relax a little more at the pool and beach. We haven't had a family vacation in quite a few years, and it was a great place to go with two recent college grads. I'd highly recommend Marathon and the condo @ Coco Plum - it truly was the heart of the Keys! - it stole my heart :) Thank you, Paula! Thank you, Bob! Deb Mac

February 2008 Hi Jean, My family loved staying in Seaside Villa last year. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and then going for long walks on that beautiful beach. What a perfect location! The unit was comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed cooking up the fish we had caught in the kitchen. Everything we needed was provided for! As a matter of fact, we loved it so much that we would like to stay at Seaside Villa again in 2009.

July 2008 Dear Paula and Jean, I just wanted to let you know that my family and I absolutely LOVED Seaside Villa!!!!! It is a beautiful condo and was immaculate when we arrived! I made sure we left it that way (the cleaning lady was thrilled--we did all of the laundry--towels, rugs, sheets, etc--I didn't mind)! The view was breathtaking, the pool was crystal clear and clean and the beach fabulous!!!! We loved the birds (the girls named the one large heron "Rachael") and the sea life. The other people staying at the condo units were wonderful--very friendly and helpful! Truly, this was one of the best vacations ever and I was sooooo sad to leave!!!!!! We really felt like we were in Paradise!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooo much for all of your helpful emails and info. regarding Marathon---we will definitely be back!!!! Jan

We visited the restaurants you had recommended and found them all to be excellent. We hired a guide for flyfishing on the flats. My son caught a nice bone fish, I caught a jack and missed a big tarpon. One of our best vacations. I hope to return next year!
