This property was exactly what it appeared to be on the listing. The backyard space was fantastic. We saw sharks, manatee, and eagle rays, along with a lot of different fish. Late nights fishing were our favorite. The house was well stocked and comfortable to spend a week in. Our only small issue was that the beds were a little hard. We did not get to access the Cabana club because the sargassum smell was so strong, but that smell did not affect us using the backyard at the house and there was only one day that there was a small amount of sargassum in the canal. It was a wonderful property and we would definitely stay there again.

A nice escape from winter in Key Colony Beach

The Keeper Cottage is in a great location. It was clean, nicely laid out, and well supplied. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and being able to use the dock. We also appreciated having access to the Cabana Club. We did make the recommendation before we left that the main king mattress and the beach chairs be replaced.

Great Stay

Property was clean, well cared for and in a great location. Nice quiet area with pool and beach access (as much “beach” as you find in the keys). Manager was responsive to questions and helped when we needed a package delivered to the property. Our group of five enjoyed our stay very much and it was nice that everyone had the option to hang out in their rooms, watch TV/movies or relax by the water. Highly recommend!

Amazing stay!

Our family of five (2 adults, 3 kids, 10 & under) had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed visiting the pool one day, beach another, and rented a boat for a few days. The kayak at the house was perfect to entertain kids up and down the canal. The house was super clean. If we needed anything, the property manager always responded pretty quickly. Great house, great place, and great family vacation.

Retirement Get Away!

We stayed two weeks at the Keeper Cottage. The weather was absolutely wonderful! We ate breakfast and dinner every day on the screened in porch. Having easy access to the boat made it worth traveling from North Carolina. It was a perfect way to celebrate 42 years working and retiring. We will definitely book again!

We had a wonderful stay at Keeper Cottage. It has everything you need. We were happy to not have to haul beach chairs and other things from VA. We loved having the washer and dryer and a full kitchen so we didn’t have to eat out all the time. Key Colony Beach is a great place to stay. We even took the kayak out one evening and brought our rental boat over to drop people off and pick up some other things. Marathon is a nice central location in the keys to visit Key West and everything in between. Hope to come back sometime.

Excellent Getaway!

There were no recent reviews for the property so we were a little nervous walking in but the house looked exactly like the photos! It smelled clean and we were greeted with a bottle of hand sanitizer on the counter. Everything was represented 100% accurate. Key Colony is a sleepy little beach town and exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed a few trips to Inch Beach, took a fishing charter with Captain Tadd (caught our limit of Mangrove Snapper in less than an hour so he took us to two different snorkeling spots!), and enjoyed some local restaurants. We cooked dinner at home several nights and I have never been in a rental house as well equipped as this one! Pretty much everything we needed in a kitchen was there! One minor issue was the power for the house...if the hot water heater, air conditioning and range were on at the same time then the main breaker would trip. We quickly figuredout the workaround...after we showered before dinner, we killed the hot water heater breaker so we could cook, then after dinner we turned the hot water heater back on. A little creative power management made the small inconvenience a non-issue. We loved this house and our first Keys experience and look forward to returning soon!

Thank you for your comments Meredith and we appreciate that you kept the home in great shape. Captain Tad is a seasoned captain and fisherman and glad you enjoyed your trip! We will address getting a new electric line from the meter to the breaker box this Fall.

Perfect location for beautiful sunsets and fun!

Our stay in Key Colony did not disappoint. This cottage was spacious and well appointed. Close to both ends of the Keys for day trips. Visited the dolphin research center. Wonderful work happening there ! The Cabana Club was a great bonus! Would highly recommend your stay here!

Paradise found

This house was perfect for our group. A king size bed in both bedrooms was the key. So comfortable. The house was just the right size for 2 couples. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and small appliances. The screened in porch was perfect for breakfast. The seating area outside on the turf was the best. We were there to paddleboard and launched off the dock out back, very convenient with many places to explore. Sunset beach is right around the corner where everyone gathers for a sunset celebration. The only thing that we really would change is to have basic cable or directv. The only available TV was internet so we had no local channels or football. Also I fall asleep watching TV and that was a challenge when I went to bed trying to find something on the limited internet bedroom TV and the last night it would not even hook up to the internet, not a deal breaker because we were not there to watch TV but at night when you were winding down local channels would be nice. Overall the place is clean, comfortable and feels like home and it's in a great location, we will be returning .

A wonderful place for a family vacation!

This property was the perfect spot for our family vacation! The property was spotless when we arrived and had everything we could have needed. Gregg was great at promptly replying when we accidentally locked ourselves out and made our time a breeze. The location was ideal, right on the water, near the two beaches and almost everything was in walking distance. It was a beautiful property and the outdoor area was the perfect spot to make lots of memories! Thanks for providing a great spot for my family! We will absolutely be back!

Loved it

The house was exactly as listed. We loved being able to hop on our boat everyday from our own dock. We enjoyed riding the bikes to the Cabana Club for a dip in the pool. Nice neighborhood.
