Nice duplex with split air conditioners. Lovely place and quite comfortable. NEEDs new outdoor furniture and more tender loving care but all in all a good stay. We were quite comfortable in this 2 bedroom duplex. Love that the washer and dryer are in the garage. Nice area and love having the option of being able to go to the CABANA CLUB. A great place to stay....Dog friendly too.

Wonderful location
Comfortable home. Comfortable beds. Great location. Quiet community. Great for walking and bike riding.
Great home base for father and son fishing trip to the Florida Keys. Great place with everything needed. Easy access and a great neighborhood. Will return with the rest of the family!!
Lovely home, great location and safe area to visit. Great access to Cabana Club with pool and a wee beach area.
Kitchen has most things you need to prepare meals. Beds are comfortable and overall the home was clean and nicely decorated. Lots of storage and fun to have bikes!
This cute little bungalow gave us a great, cozy place to explore the Key Colony Beach area. Clean property, nice touches, and just the right amount of stuff to make us comfortable but not overwhelmed (small kids, few things to knock over). We had a wonderful time, and we happily stay there again.
The house was great, be sure the owner has all licenses and permits up to date. Loved having bikes to use. KCB is a lovely small community and great having access to the Cabana Club. Thank you!

Fun easy vibe!
We had a lovely stay at this house! Beds were comfortable. The furniture was comfortable. Quiet neighborhood with lots to do including biking and kayaking down the canal to go around the point and watch the sunset (watch the tides and wind when you do this). It’s just a short walk from a little park where you can watch the sunset. And just a fun and relaxing vibe. The house has everything you need for a low maintenance, relaxing vacation. Loved the nearby Curry Hammock State Park. Highly recommend.
We had a great stay here! I had a few questions and messaged the host and they replied quickly. It was clean when we arrived. The location was convenient to restaurants and Sunset Beach. The back patio had new composite Adirondack chairs and 2 lounge chairs. The screened in porch was nice. It had a new six chair dining table of composite wood. Nice cushions too. The TV in the living room was a Roku tv and easy to use with the remote. The kitchen was stocked with enough plates and pans to do some cooking. It had a regular coffee maker that worked well. There were lots of seasonings, salt, pepper and oil to use for cooking. There were 3 bikes to use which was nice. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of comfy pillows. The A/C worked well. There was a unit in the living room and each bedroom. The bathrooms were old. They did have new vanities and sinks but they still had the old tiling. Having said that they were very nice and were clean and well stocked with towels. The rest of the house has been renovated. Pros- good location, split bedrooms each with their own bathroom, bikes, nice outdoor furniture, on the canal, washer and dryer, nice open space, easy check in. Cons- we did not have access to the Cabana Club. The owners don’t have a membership there. This wasn’t a big deal, January weather can be cold and windy and when it was nice the pool at the Club is very busy so it would be hard to get a chair. Overall this was a great place to stay!!
We really enjoyed our week in Key Colony. This community is very friendly and you will never run out of things to do. There are so many activities nearby and Key West is less than 1 hour away.
The property was great, good kitchen, living room and bedrooms with very comfortable beds. The only disappointing thing in this home is that there was no basic seasonings to cook with, not even salt, pepper or cooking oils. We have rented down there in other areas and basic seasonings and cooking oil were always included.
Thank you for having us.

A beautiful oasis close to all Marathon has to offer!
I have visited marathon for the last 15 years and this home was my favorite place to stay! The two large bathrooms and private baths were perfect for privacy between guests, the kitchen and living room were large and filled with light and the backyard was incredible. The sitting area is right on the lagoon, and the perfect spot for your morning coffee or yoga. The screened in porch was our favorite spot to cap out the evening - and never had one bug bite! Key colony is a beauitful community, where you can ride the bikes and explore (provided at the house!) or to explore some marathon cuisine and activities it’s a quick Uber ride downtown! I highly recommend.
Property manager Danielle was charming and helpful especially when the key pad code was incorrect. The only real issue was " how in the heck does one operate their tv's"
It would be very very helpful if there were directions on how to use all the different selections.

Perfect Family Oasis
This family gem at Colony Key was a perfect and relaxing beach get-away! Perfect get-away for me, the hubby, and kids. It felt like home with a clean and comfortable beach style home. The rooms are spacious, kitchen cute and equipped, AC nice and cold, great parking entrance and with a spacious garage. Everything was clean and bathrooms just right. We slept good and relaxed in the backyard. You get access to Cabana Club which is literally 2 min in car and you have a very clean pool and private beach access with very affordable yummy food and drinks. This place is very family friendly, like living in a private community and you ride the bike or go on walks at night. We went every night to Sunset Park with beautiful views and sunsets. Great spot for pictures. Thank you for the great memories. You will not regret staying here. Everything nearby from groceries to restaurants. You have a kids playground and small gold course too!
Got in Monday 8/25 3pm. Felt warm in the house. Only 1 of the 3 Ac units were on. Turned on other 2 still not cooling down. Called VACASA area rep. No response. Called main 800 to Vacasa. Spoke with a supervisor to get the local rep to respond. Her name was Jenetta. Ac person came out Monday pm 8:30:pm. I told him I didn't think any of the 3 ac units were working.properly. Was able to only get 1 going-charged with freon. Was going to contact Vacasa for immediate repair the next day Had a dive planned Tues am. House seemed even warmer that morn. Came back it was 90 degrees in house. Calling/texting rep. again no response. Called main Vacasa to get response. Finallly rep texted round 7pm said service man coming out. Came out a t 10:30pm. Checked Units he said all 3 units were broken and could not be repaired. Tried contacting local rep. again no response. Wanted a answer on when they would be repaired. Waited for a call Wed. Decided to call late Wed. and finally got a response. Almost 3 full days without AC in Florida. We moved our things to another house. Local Rep Jenetta non-existent follow-up until My expectations are you rent a house a month in advance, hen you arrive things should be in good order. It was'nt just the AC. (most important part of staying in Florida) the patio umbrella ripped and broken,burnt out broken outdoor lights and too much to mention. I booked through VRBO and got VACASA. Don't book with them in the Florida Key with the lou
