We had a wonderful stay. The condo was great, communication was fantastic, and our overall experience was better than we could have hoped for. We'd highly recommend staying here and will stay again if we ever vacation in the Keys again.

Nice place with a beautiful view.
Nice condo with a beautiful view! If you are willing to wake super early you can even catch the sun rising from the balcony. When we got there the bathrooms were very clean but it seemed they forgot to vacuum the place, but after speaking with with Meghan she send someone back right away to vacuum again. She was very helpful and prompt to answer. The Wi-Fi is spotty at best, so don’t count on using it. I guess the condo being on an island makes technology a bit wonky. There’s a very nice beach in front of the building but unfortunately, the week we stay there, was something they call seagrass season and the sand was full of dead seagrass, that for environmental reasons, can’t be removed, so we weren’t able to use that beach, but the pool was very nice, clean and super deep, which was really cool. The condo is nice and had everything you could need in the kitchen. The master bedroom was very spacious and the bathrooms were newly remodeled, the second bedroom has a twin bed and a pull out bed that my kids appreciated since they hate having to share a double bed. Overall it was a nice a place and we enjoyed our stay.

This was a nice complex. This particular unit (#13) is on the second floor and overlooked the pool. Furnishings could use updating, but overall, it had everything we needed for the week.

Very disappointed!
The condo itself is in desperate need of some updating. The dishwasher has rust and missing pieces on the racks. Being from the north we were not aware of sargassum season, I understand it is part of nature but I probably would of made different arrangements. The smell is overwhelming and the beach isn’t usable because of it and the fact that sea grass pretty much covers everywhere in the water. The pool was nice but that’s the only good thing.

Needs an update
Property needs update. Kitchen appliances very old. Dishes and pots and pans all look salvaged from a garage sale. A good deep cleaning also needed. Bedroom closets filled with bedding and linens making them unusable. Front closet filled with toys.

Beautiful perfect location
This was a wonderful experience for us. The unit we originally rented had been reserved by the owner and Meghan was quick to get back to us with apologies and another option to meet our needs. It was even better (from the pictures) than the one we had originally selected. Regardless, the unit was perfect, pool was warm and wonderful and the grounds and beach were everything we hoped for. This made for a great vantage point to visit every place we hoped in the keys without feeling as if we had to relocate. It was comfortable for our group of two couples and offered all the comforts of home. We fell head over heels for the location and our condo - we will be back!

Great location for relaxing
We had a wonderful week in Marathon! This location is away from the busy streets and is very quiet. You are close to two grocery stores, many local restaurants. We enjoyed spending most of our week hanging out by the pool and the beach. Aquarium Encounters is a must to visit, entire family enjoyed it! We also took a day trip to Key West (1 hour drive) which was very nice. Only negative was the pull-out couch mattress not being comfortable, we mentioned to the office staff prior to check out and they were going to tell the owners. We cannot wait to visit again!

Good deal for the money
We had a great family vacation in Marathon. The pool/beach area was very relaxing and well maintained. The location was great for traveling all through the Keys. We took trips to both Islamorada and Key West with no trouble. The property management was very thorough and informative in check in/check out process. This particular unit was clean and easily accommodated our family. The decor and furnishings were dated and somewhat worn out; however, we were really only there to sleep. We would rent again for the perks of the pool and beach area!

Beautiful view of ocean, Quiet stay, but needs appliance and furniture update
Beautiful view of the ocean and pool. Easy access to local restaurants and grocery shopping and 1 hour and 15 minute drive to Key West. Rental of kayaks, bicycles delivered to your doorstep for free. Quiet and away from crowds and traffic. Property needs to updated. Dishwasher rack has rust holes and refrigerator rusted on the outside. Old appliances need to be replaced. Master bed box spring creaked when you moved causing you to wake up. Need to replace.

Seaweed stinks!
Our room had a very, VERY strong smell of mold. This presented us with the choice of keeping windows and doors closed and smelling the mold or opening the windows and smelling the rotten egg seaweed. Not a decision you want to make on vacation. The pool was very nice. We were sad that we couldn't enjoy the beach although we understand nature can't be controlled.. but we may have picked a different time to visit if we knew the seaweed is there this time of year. I can imagine that this is a very nice place but we just went at the wrong time.

A very nice stay!
We recently stayed for a week at this property and it was very nice. It was quiet and most guests leave for the day for their activities(diving, fishing, etc). The staff was attentive and helpful, if needed. The overall property still needs some repairs and landscaping, I assume from hurricane damage last fall. The unit we stayed in was spacious and comfortable except the one front bedroom seemed to stay much warmer than the rest.. It could use some updating in the kitchen and bathrooms but was otherwise fine for the amount of time we spent there. It is listed as two bedroom but is actually three. It was also conveniently located near various restaurants, pharmacies, dives shops, etc. A note of warning for the Keys: the dead sea grass that accumulates along many shorelines has a strong sulfur smell that takes some getting used to but its a beautiful place to visit and explore!

The perfect place for our family vacation!
The Royal Plum Club worked great for our family vacation! We had six adults and one baby with us - me, my wife, our grown son, daughter-in-law, daughter, friend of the family, and our 8 month old grandson. Our condo overlooked the pool and ocean, and was clean, convenient & comfortable for the whole family. The club and the staff there are wonderful! Kevin, the maintenance manager, takes excellent care of the grounds, and was always there with a friendly recommendation on local activities & attractions. He even let me borrow some fishing gear to try an catch some barracuda I saw snorkeling out front! It was also great having the pool to cool off, especially after a day of adventuring. There is a deep and shallow end. We rented a paddle-board and a few kayaks for three days from Wheels-2-Go (which were delivered) and had a blast with them! One morning we took the kayaks east to the end of the island (basically at the end of Coca Plum Dr), past the abandon mansion, near Curry Hammock State Park. We tied up the kayaks and did some snorkeling by the rocks there. The fish were beautiful and we even saw a number of very large lobsters! It was nice to have the sandy beach area beyond the pool, but we didn't spend much time in the ocean there, other than on the paddle-board and kayaks. You'll find at this beach, and in may places in the Keys, there is quite a bit of sea grass - the natural habitat of turtles, and lots of the native sea life. That said, since the condo is in the Middle Keys, there are a number of beaches and state parks nearby, and both Key Largo and Key West are just an hour or so away. We took a day trip to Key West and spent an afternoon at the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park. That is definitely worth the trip! Water shoes are nice to have, since the beach has lots of shells, but the beach, shade and snorkeling there is great! Here are some other places and things we'd highly recommend: The Island Fish Company, Sparky's Landing, Tarpon Creek Bar & Grill, Diving with the Abyss Dive Center, Snorkeling out at the Sombrero Lighthouse (a *must* for snorkeling lovers), and the Turtle Hospital! All-in-all, the Royal Plum Club, staff and location was perfect for our vacation! If you're looking for a safe comfortable place - a second home, away from home - I'd highly recommend it!

Was just OK. Our unit was very old and tired. Screen door was broken which seems to be the case with all of these condos. The price was good and the folks in the office were very friendly and helpful. It is what is is!
