About this property
Bayfront w Dock, 96 Jet Spa, Secluded
Buchanan Keys Cottage
Take a step back into “Old Keys” living. Once Upon A Tide; there was a sense of tranquility & peacefulness found throughout the Keys, like the one you will uncover when choosing to stay at this private, serene, 1/1 oceanfront cottage.
Located on Grassy Key, this beautiful home is just 10 minutes from the City of Marathon. Far enough to be away from the hustle & bustle, but close enough to make a grocery/store run a “Keys breeze”.
Out front you will be greeted by lush landscaping, surrounding a long & spacious driveway. With enough parking for all of your trucks, trailers & water toys.
Around back you’ll find the brand new, 6 person, 96 jet hot tub! Leave it cool in the summer to refresh yourself from the Florida heat, or turn it on full blast in the winter to give your body a much needed heated massage.
Take a stroll down lovers lane & you’ll be quietly greeted by the Keys Ocean breeze. Lay down in your hammock between two native trees, and let your mind drift off while staring into the vast array of greens and blues.
You’ve made it; Peace. At. Last.
Inside you will find a cool, clean & neatly decorated home.
The living room offers extra sleeping space, with a queen pullout bed in the sofa near the entryway of the home. (The two chairs pictured have been replaced).
There is also a separate sofa that can be used to relax, watch TV or play board games. Your choice!
You will find the kitchen well equipped, including an oven/stove, sink, refrigerator/freezer, microwave & dishwasher. Also provided are pots, pans & kitchen utensils.
The one & only bedroom is cute & cozy. Snuggle up in the central A/C after a long hot day in the Keys sun or stream your favorite shows from our complimentary Smart TV
You will also have access to the spotless full bathroom, equipped with sink, toilet, shower, & laundry room (not pictured) w/ washer & dryer.
If you want to experience authentic, uninterrupted, “Keys Living” at it's best, this is your place!

Thank you so much for staying with us, we can’t wait to have you back!
This cottage had the most beautiful ocean view. The small walk through the backyard to the ocean was breathtaking. The property was quiet and peaceful. I’ve never felt so relaxed on vacation. The cottage was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The spa was incredible. We hope to be back soon!

This property is perfect for the 2 of us. Very relaxing atmosphere. The hammock and jet spa allowed us to ease back. The location provided easy access to any activities or just to sit on the deck and watch the waves on the Gulf.

Thank you so much Justin! It was a pleasure hosting you. We’re look forward to your return visit!
Home was perfect for us. Quiet an relaxing but close enough to activities. Property was well maintained. Hot tub and hammock helped with the relaxing vibe.
We enjoyed the home and location for our 20 year anniversary. Caught some fish from the dock and watched a manatee swim in the cove. Think we may be back for our 21st.

Happy Anniversary Tom! Thank you for staying with us :)
This property was awesome! Secluded yet close to everything. Property was very clean, well equipped & comfortable. The dock was nice & the location for boating & fishing was perfect. Definitely would consider this property for another Keys visit & the property manager, Bert w/ Keyscation was awesome as well. Thank you for a great vacation!

Thank you Valerie! We appreciate you choosing to stay with KeysCations!
We spent a week enjoying this old style keys home. The property is like having your own private nature park. So quiet and peaceful. Loved all the mature trees and landscaping. Sunsets from the dock were breathtaking. The house itself had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!!!!
