About this property

Modern Island Luxury | 4 En-Suite Masters, 6 BA, Pool, Dock & Outdoor Oasis

Step into Snapper House and feel the stress melt away—an upscale, custom-built sanctuary designed for dream vacations on Key Colony Beach. Perched on a peaceful canal with quick access to the Atlantic, this waterfront gem was completed in March 2020 and fully stocked with designer, ocean-inspired furnishings. Whether you're here to relax or play, every amenity is at your fingertips—manatees visit just feet from the dock, fish straight off the boat ramp, swim in the sparkling saline pool (chilled or heated to perfection), or soak up serenity on the shaded patio with a cool drink in hand. Once you arrive, we guarantee—you’ll never want to leave.

Snapper House is part of an exclusive collection of only six luxury vacation homes in the Marathon area, all thoughtfully owned and operated by HappyInTheKeys, a family–run business devoted to delivering exceptional guest experiences.

• 🚿 En-suite spa-style bathrooms with upscale finishes
• ☕ Private wine and coffee bars in each room

• 🚪 Patio access from each suite with tranquil canal views

The common areas are designed for relaxed and memorable gatherings:
• 🌅 Bright open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area with sunrise views over the canal
• 📺 55-inch flat-screen television in the living room
• 🚻 Guest half-bath conveniently located off the main living space
• 🪟 Covered porch overlooking the pool and canal for laid-back outdoor lounging

The backyard is a true Florida Keys oasis:
• 🏊 Expansive saline pool with both heating and chilling features, large splash deck, and convenient poolside half-bath
• 🚿 Outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim
• 🍽️ Covered outdoor kitchen with quartz bar, grill, sink, and prep area
• 🧊 Commercial-grade ice maker, additional refrigerator, and bait freezer for your adventures

Absolute exceeded our expectations!

Our experience with Happy In The Keys was simply the best! We stayed in a villa in Indigo Reed and a property in Key Colony - both were immaculate—spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. Every detail, from the bedding and linens to the fully stocked kitchen and outdoor amenities, showed a level of care that’s rare to find. We used the link to order from Instacart so from the minute we entered the villa we were ready to relax! We felt like we were at home. Communication from Happy In the Keys felt less like a rental and more like a personalized experience. What truly sets Happy in The Keys apart from other VRBOs is the management. Sean and Jose were attentive without being intrusive, responsive at all hours, and genuinely committed to making our stay the perfect retreat. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it reflects in every aspect of our stay. Thank you for making our time in the Keys unforgettable! We will be back next year!

The Perfect Week

Once again, Happy in the Keys did not disappoint. This was our second year at Snapper House, our 5th with the Happy in the Keys team and they just keep proving to us that we don't want to vacation anywhere else, or with at any other vacation home. Snapper house is amazing - stocked with everything you will need for a week of relaxation, fun and sun! The kitchen had everything we could need or want, beach towels for days at the pool, comfortable beds for a great nights sleep and enough room for our entire party to have their own space and also come together for meals and evening card games! The outdoor space is spectacular whether it be sunny and beautiful or even a little rainy. From the moment we leave Snapper house we are counting down the days until we can return next year.

Beautiful House

Absolutely beautiful house and perfect for our week stay during mini season. The house was very clean and incredibly well kept. We really appreciated the extra amenities that the house offered. The ice maker, elevator, and private boat ramp were just a few that made our stay easier! Our family loved staying in this house so much that it was hard to say goodbye but we can't wait to plan another vacation here!

Beautiful House

We had a great stay in January, with family that included my 75yo mother in law. The house was perfect. Great common area, and privacy of the four master suites. The outdoor living space was ideal and used often, and the elevator made it easy for my mother in law to get up and down, and also for luggage, etc. Dock was great, and bait freezer and ice machine made things very convenient for boating. Communication was beyond excellent with the host. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect stay for my 40th birthday

We booked this beautiful home for my 40th birthday and had family book 2 other properties from the same individuals, all great! Communication with staff/owners was easy. Property was well kept and had so much to offer. Between pool, dock, games (cornhole and ping pong) and outdoor lounge seating… you’d never HAVE to leave the property to enjoy your week. Marathon was the perfect location and speed. Key Colony Beach is a very nice area to be in within Marathon as well :) Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Would love to return someday and will definitely recommend to others.

Almost Perfect

We have been renting in KCB every year for the past 35+ years. We are always looking for the ultimate place to stay. This came close, just fell short a few minor ways. The house was great and seemed well kept. The kitchen supplies were top notch. The bathrooms in every bedroom are fantastic. The only downside: 1). The house faces East (sunrise) so if you’re looking for afternoon sun, you’ll have to go elsewhere (in Jan the pool loses sun at 2 pm). 2). This is a top notch place, the beach towels were not. Nice matching (thick) beach towels would have matched the caliber of the house. 3). It would have been nice to have some condiments in the house on arrival such as salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. every place we’ve stayed previously has had them.

Amazing vacation rental for family!

We hit the jackpot with this vacation rental. Perfect for our multi generational family trip. Pictures don't do it justice! Quiet and relaxing neighborhood. Easy to walk to sunset park to watch the sunset. Great layout for vacationing with a group. As a new mom, I loved the elevator for the stroller when baby fell asleep on our walks!

Ultimate Adult Get-Away

This home is so beautifully done, I don't even know where to begin! It's clearly been designed by someone who has rented homes for travel before and knows exactly what they are doing. From having tons of silverware and plates (ever stay in a rental that has a single set of 12 forks for a group of 8 people? Total pain to have to hand wash them between breakfast and lunch!) To the ground level fridge for extra drinks (no running upstairs for drink while in the pool) to the commercial ice maker (we filled our cooler to head out on the boat and the thing had pretty much refilled by the time we got back), they just thought of everything you may need for a comfortable, relaxing vacation. Its 4 master suites, which was perfect for our group of 4 adult couples taking a vacation without all our kids! If you haven't ever vacationed without kids, highly recommend giving it a try! The common areas are so comfortable and beautifully decorated. The outdoor space was absolutely perfect. The pool was amazing to have after being out on the boat all day. And Key Colony Beach was such a nice area! This place is 5 stars in every aspect. Grab some friends, split the cost and I promise you won't be disappointed!

Best rental property in Keys

We've rented a number of houses and condos in the Keys. Our family has been going there for 50 years. This is hands down the best property we have ever stayed at. Attention to detail at every step was perfect. The house has everything you would ever need - including a margarita machine! I don't think we could ever stay at another house in the Keys now - other than maybe their other 2 properties Grouper House and Super Grouper House! Thanks Kim for making our vacation so great!
