Laurie`s Condo

I was in regular correspondence with Laurie regarding the stay, before and during the trip. This is a lovely spacious condo in a great area. It has plenty of space for a family of older teenagers as we have. The Beach Club is just on the other side of a quiet road which adds to the amenities availbale at the property. Very good value for money and would highly

Relaxing Getaway

“The Keys to Happiness” was absolutely perfect for our family. Location was perfect-we were able to kick back and relax after days spent at the pool and different beaches. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Communication with the owners was easy and they were very prompt in replying. I am telling everyone how great our trip was and that they need to stay here! :)

Anniversary get away

WOW! This place is perfect! Love the decor. Super clean. Quite neighborhood. Laurie and Joe where easy to get a hold of and where very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. Also liked meeting your mom and dad! The condo is in the perfect location. Easy to go north to Key Largo or south to Key west, both within an hour or so drive. The passes to the Cabana Club across the road were awesome. So easy to just walk over and enjoy the pool/beach and restaurant/bar. Grocery stores, post office, restaurants all very conveniently close by. Would highly recommend Sunset beach just down the road for a beautiful sunset. Sombrero beach is only about 15-20 min. south of the condo. Would also recommend Sunset Bar & Grill for the food and sunsets. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this condo. Thank-you Laurie and Joe for sharing your home with us and adding those special touches to make our stay memorable! Hope to be back in the future. Karen & Sherman

Great vacation

We really enjoyed the property. Laura is very kind and helpful. Condo is large and it was plenty of space for our family of 5. Just a short walk to a cabana club which has a pool and a beach. Overall property was very clean and well taken care of, owners have done some updates lately. 5 out of 5.

Comfy, convenient, and charming

Located right across the road from the Cabana Club and Havana Jacks. Unfortunately, HJ was closed for vacation. Bright, cheery condo with cute retro accessories and everything you would possibly need for a great vacation. The owner, Laurie, and I had great communication and we loved that she shared the area restaurants and things to do. There's a washer and dryer and tons of towels. The mattresses were so comfortable and I loved the ceiling fans in every room. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Laurie!

Great stay at the beach!

2nd time staying at the property. Love the proximity to both the regular beach as well as the cabana club., as well as the rest of the restaurants. The property ownership was in transition, but the new owner Laurie did a great job during it all. The only big improvement I would suggest is putting up curtains in the bedroom. The room gets bright in the morning and it is necessary to use a sleep mask or cover your face with a pillow to block out the sun in the morning.

Great location

We had a great stay here. House was clean and the master bed is comfortable. It’s in a great location in Key Colony. Easy to get the boat to either gulf side or Atlantic. And a few steps from the cabana pool which is perfect to cool off at after a boating day.

Perfect Location - Best Value

This is not the largest or most luxurious house on Key Colony Beach, but it’s hands down the best house for the money. The location is perfect, right across the street from the Cabana Club and Key Colony Beach is a great place to stay to explore Marathon. The house is clean, well stocked, and well maintained. We like to cook on vacation and the house had everything we needed, including a gas grill. If you’ve read this fall, let me save you some time, just book the house, you will enjoy it. We had 2 adults and 4 kids and were very comfortable. The house would be comfortable with 4 adults and fine with 6 adults as long as someone is ok with a pull out couch. The two bathrooms were a little small, but it’s better to have two than one large one. The Cabana Club is close enough it’s almost like having a pool and beach at your house. It was easy enough that we went over several times just for a quick dip in the pool or hot tub. We’ve stayed in a number of house rentals and Steve is the best owner we’ve ever rented from. Communication was great and it was very clear he wanted us to have a great stay. He made the whole process smooth and easy. We would definitely rent from him again, and would love to stay here another time.

Ocean View

The ocean view is through two hotels across the street. The ocean walk of 200 ft is through the Cabana Club, which you are given a membership to when you rent the duplex. The pool is always crowded and if you don't get there before they open, good luck in getting a chair. Overall though, the stay was pleasant. The property is a little dated but has all the conveniences you would need. I took pictures of some of the things we didn't do to the place just in case. The owner was very easy to communicate with via text message. Marathon and Key Colony are our go to vacation place, so we will be back, however will most likely rent a smaller place right on the canal water. This place is great if you have a larger group as is has two bathrooms. The TV in the bedroom didn't get the same channels as the one in the living room. Water pressure in shower was good. The king size bed was comfy. The A/C worked well. Plenty of towels and dishes in the kitchen even though I didn't cook while we were there. The food at the Cabana club is tasty and the bartenders were awesome. The location was very easy to get to where you can ride bikes (we brought our own) to just about everything including some great restaurants. Our duplex was 390 but the 380 side is closer to the canal with a patio off the back with a slider and stairs where the bbq is placed. Our back deck was small and faces the neighbors (corner unit). The front deck was much larger and had plenty of chairs to sit on. I would recommend staying here, either a family or two couples.
