About Michael Soronen
We grew up in Michigan and went to school there until moving to the Pacific Northwest 35 years ago. Even though we were in the Pacific Northwest we vacationed in the Florida Keys as often as possible. On retirement we moved to St. Augustine and continued coming to the Keys on a regular basis. We have owned A townhouse on Duck Key for 14 years. When this duplex became available earlier this year we knew that it would be an ideal location for relaxing, boating and fishing.
Michael Soronen purchased this house in 2012
Why Michael Soronen chose Marathon Area
This duplex is located in the heart of Key Colony Beach on 10th St. it's a short walk and even a shorter bike ride to most of the amenities in the city. This includes the Cabana club, a beach and pool club with a private tiki bar. It's also less than a quarter-mile from Inch Beach and Sunset Park. The street is in a quiet neighborhood and does not have a high volume of traffic.At least three restaurants are located within walking/biking distance. Many other good restaurants are located in the city of Marathon and other places in the adjacent keys within a reasonable drive.
What makes this house unique
Sitting on the spacious deck guests are able to enjoy a beautiful Florida Keys sunrise or watch fish play in the evening around the specially installed underwater light. The deck has been fenced to provide safety for children. For fishermen there is a dedicated ice maker and bait freezer. For the gourmet cook in the group there is a fully appointed modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a gas stove. A wine cooler is available to keep your favorite vintage at the right temperature for when you return from a day of relaxation or play.

Wonderful Stay
We stayed in this lovely home the first part of June. The home is so nice in person, and more spacious than the pictures can show. It is very well maintained. The house has been updated with a modern kitchen and master bath. The appliances were top-notch and everything was provided in the kitchen. We used the gas grill outside and loved sitting on the deck. We were also able to fish right off the deck. My teenage sons enjoyed the bikes that are provided and rode all around the island. We had a very short walk to the private beach and Sunset Park. We also enjoyed the Cabana Club for swimming. The home includes an ice machine and bait freezer for fishing but we did not use them. It is also located very centrally for exploring the other Keys.
Great House!
This house is great. It has everything you need, is clean, and well kept. We had one issue and the property manager took actions to get it fixed as soon as possible. The house has plenty of room for all your stuff if you have a lot of stuff for fishing, diving, and boating to bring. The garage is nice to have. The nice kitchen, grill, and filet table were used almost everyday to cook the catch of the day. This is our 3rd time staying at Key Colony and this was the best house so far. It was great having all deck and no rocks in the back yard. Bait freezer is a must and the ice machine was a nice plus. Looking forward to staying here again.
Felt at home. Everything you need!
4 of us stayed here last week (March 2016). The property had everything we needed and more. We decided to grill one evening, and the grill was very clean and ready to go (the steaks turned out excellent). Cooked some fresh caught fish another night that had a wonderful flavor!
We rented a boat and kept it at the dock. Such easy access. We noticed the neighbors across the canal were fishing in the canal and they definitely caught some keepers! Bikes are available for a ride down the streets of Key Colony. Very relaxing and some great sights. We even played golf in KC on two occasions. The beds were comfy and one couple commented how they fell right asleep each night. Games are available for family enjoyment and its the first time I've stayed in the Keys at a house that had it's own ice machine. It was excellent for icing the boat cooler for fish, and our own coolers for sandwiches and drinks. The kitchen has everything you would need for cooking a meal, and the TV's located in each room worked great! I highly recommend this place for a relaxing vacation in the Keys. Key Colony adds it's own charm and makes for a very enjoyable experience. We'll be back! Oh, my wife and sis-in-law enjoyed the complementary bottle of wine. They didn't want to leave when it was time to go.
Top Rate Rental
This house had everything we needed and more! Also the owner was super nice and goes out of his way to make sure you have any information needed on the house and the surrounding area. We stayed enjoyed the beach (both private and public) and the Cabana Club. I would recommend this rental to anyone that wants to stay in Key Colony Beach area.
So many extras! Very comfortable.
The owner of this beautiful duplex goes out of his way to provide a fully stocked, clean home away from home for you. This spacious duplex is located in walking distance to sunset park, inch beach, Cabana Club and Restaurants. There are Bikes, beach chairs, extra coolers in the garage. There are lots of extra beach towels in the laundry area so no need to pack any. We always like Key Colony because it is more family oriented and close to Marathon for food shopping and other places you may want to visit. We would 100% recommend this property. We also brought our boat down. Fishing was great of course. House has a nice dock. What people may not realize when they rent down there is that this house is located on the side of Key Colony where you can get to the ocean or the bay in just minutes. This house also has afternoon shade out on the patio. When we arrived there was a nice bottle of wine and coffee on the counter for us. There is a coffee grinder there along with every kind of gadget you can think of! Nice big grill. The pictures the owner has on his site are what you really get. Their property managers are fantastic and will get back with you very fast if you need them for any reason. I don't have young children but i noticed there are extra things inside the house for kids. There is also a play pool in the garage and the patio does have a fence to prevent little ones from getting down to the dock. I don't know what else I can tell you except don't rent it out when we want to come back down again! LOL Enjoy.
Excellent vacation spot!
This place is definitely top notch. The owners are great to deal with and very nice. They make sure that you are supplied with plenty of helpful information and are just a phone call away for any questions. The property managers are also very nice and considerate. The house is located in the middle of the Keys so it is convenient for all the fun that the Keys has to offer. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It has a great deck with comfortable patio furniture. The deck overlooks a canal. We enjoyed looking at the various sea life that wandered into the canal both during the day and at night. The house is stocked with everything that we didn't even know we would need. We especially enjoyed the large ice maker on the deck. It was very convenient to fill up the cooler, also provided, for day trips. If you are looking for a really nice place to stay that is totally hassle free then I would recommend you stay here. We had a wonderful trip, thank you Michael and Joan!
