Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I am honored that you chose to stay at Lilo’s for your vacation and a very special birthday celebration!!! ❤️
What a great little bungalow! It was just as pictured and in the perfect location. LeeAnn is very thoughtful in the minor details like toiletries and kitchen supplies. If you want a great central place in the Keys, reach out to LeeAnn. September is the perfect time to go.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the comfort and convenience of your vacation stay. I hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing visit to the Keys! ~ LeeAnn :)
We had a fantastic stay at Lilo's. The unit was immaculate, and the owners have put a lot of thought into setting it up with everything that is needed for an enjoyable stay. The location of the unit is excellent being only a couple few minutes' walk to a nearby restaurant and tiki bar. Key Colony is a great place to stay, especially if you like to walk or bike each morning during your vacation. We'll be back!

Amazing stay. So relaxing. Loved the pool and tiki hut with hammocks. Great location. Enjoyed fishing off the dock. This is our second time here and can't wait to come back.

My daughter and her husband stayed here 2 years ago and told us how great it was. We booked it and still can't get over how great it is. We have already recommended this to some of our friends.

Thank you for such a great review! We strive to make sure you feel right at home and we are so glad you enjoyed your getaway!! And those evenings by the pool are so beautiful and relaxing, I completely agree. Please come back when you can!
The property was in an ideal location (mid keys) allowing us plenty of scope to visit any of the keys easily.The villa itself was a good size and lovely location, backing onto the canal between the gulf of mexico(america) and the Atlantic. Very peaceful yet walking distance to a couple of bars (Havana Jack's being one, playing live music most days) along with local fish cuisine amongst other favourites, pizza and burgers lolThe villa was spacious enough and was very comfortable.Overall, we loved it.The host (LeeAnn) was easy to contact with any questions, in one case going above and beyond ordering a toy for our granddaughter (unavailable in the uk) and having it delivered to the villa before we left. 5* for that alone Also Deb (house manager) proved her weight in gold with plenty of local information.Can't thank you both enough.

About the host
Hosted by LeeAnn & Jim
My husband Jim and myself (LeeAnn) moved to Florida because we love the tropical weather, the palms, the ocean and the beaches and we wanted to take it one step further when we fell in love with this home in the middle Keys!
A little bit about us! Jim and I grew up in Minnesota (Lots of snow!!!) and then we lived in Colorado, (where there is a little less snow - but there is still snow)! We have always enjoyed traveling, boating and fishing and warm ocean breezes. Traveling to the Keys has been our favorite thing to do over the past several years. We had always just driven straight through to Key West, and, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Key West, but I had no IDEA what we were missing out on here in Key Colony Beach! I am so glad we found this adorable get-away in this beautiful little town!
We are thrilled to share our special get away with you and hope that you will love it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
As soon as we walked into this home, we fell in love with the bright and welcoming feel of it. It just felt like somewhere you'd want to spend your time away-from-it-all! The kitchen is fully updated, and it is very roomy. The home overall feels very spacious! The back yard is so nicely landscaped and is a great place to relax. The heated pool has 3 water bar stools and it is a great amenity to this home! As we stood on the dock, looking into the beautiful waters of the canal, jellyfish greeted us upon our very first time there! The canal waters are breathtaking! This place has everything one would want in a vacation home!
What makes this property unique
Provided with your stay are 4 passes to Glunz Resort & Beach. We also have two kayaks for your use at no additional cost!
