The Neighborhood:
Discover the charm of Marathon, Florida, nestled in the heart of the iconic Florida Keys. At our condo, you're positioned in a prime spot offering seclusion and easy access to local attractions. Marathon is a quaint tropical city with several keys, known for its laid-back atmosphere and friendly community.
Enjoy the ease of nearby amenities such as grocery stores, charming boutiques, and delightful dining options featuring fresh seafood from the surrounding waters. For the adventure-seekers, the island offers a host of activities like deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving in the vibrant coral reefs of the Atlantic.
Coco Plum Beach is just a stone's throw away, where you can soak up the sun on the sandy shore or stroll through the tranquil neighborhood. Marathon's Sombrero Beach is also within easy reach, offering a picturesque setting for picnics and beachside relaxation.
For a touch of nature, visit the Turtle Hospital to learn about local conservation efforts or explore the Crane Point Museum and Nature Center, a 63-acre hardwood hammock ideal for bird-watching and hiking.
With the mainland's convenience connected via the famous Seven Mile Bridge and the joys of island life, Coco Plum offers a serene escape with the spirit of the Keys at your doorstep.
Getting Around:
You have several convenient options for getting around and exploring the area:
By Car: The most flexible way to explore Marathon and the surrounding Keys is by car. The Overseas Highway, part of U.S. Route 1, connects the islands and is the main thoroughfare. Renting a car would be ideal for those looking to discover various attractions at their own pace.
Biking: For shorter distances, especially around the neighborhood and to nearby beaches like Coco Plum Beach, biking is a great option. The area is bike-friendly, with several paths and relatively flat terrain.
Public Transportation: Monroe County provides public bus services through the Lower Keys Shuttle, taking you from Marathon to other critical points in the Florida Keys.
Walking: For those who prefer to stay local, many of Marathon's attractions, restaurants, and shops can be accessed on foot, especially within the Coco Plum area.
Boating: If you're looking to explore the surrounding waters, marinas in the area offer boat rentals. A boat is a great way to experience the beautiful oceans, go fishing, or visit nearby reefs for snorkeling and diving.
Taxis and Rideshare: Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft operate in Marathon, providing an easy way to get around without a personal vehicle.
Shuttle Services: Some local businesses and attractions offer shuttle services for guests, which could be a convenient option depending on where you plan to go.
Remember that while the island is well-connected by the Overseas Highway, having your transportation will provide the most freedom to explore the natural beauty and attractions of the Florida Keys.

The facility is very well kept. Our bathroom was recently updated. The kitchen could use an update. The pool had an underground leak developed while we were there that had an impact on its use. The manager was on top of getting repairmen to look at it and start on the repair. We had a great trip.
It is in a great spot on the beach. Location is great for food and activities. Marathon is great. We enjoyed the property and the location. Great sun rises and beach view from the patio.
Loved the location, quiet, yet not far from attractions. Condo was clean and well equipped.

Truly amazing. Nothing beats an oceanfront view on the beach with a pool for a great price!! So clean, great location and easy check in/check out process. Absolutely everything you need right in the middle of the Keys where so many activities and restaurants are accessible. I’ve grown up vacationing in the Florida Keys with my family and this was by far my favorite trip. The manager Kevin was incredible sending out tons of great restaurant and activity ideas. The residents we came across were so kind and this was overall such a peaceful experience. I would definitely come back and will be telling everyone about it!!!
First time to the Florida Keys and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Pool is great and the beach is to die for. It’s a perfect place to get to and from all the Keys. It’s also very quiet. We loved that. Beautiful property.
Wonderful views from nice screened in porch. Condo located in quiet neighborhood but close to restaurants and stores. Facilities are nice with extra touches and full of people who rent here year after year.
Just as listed, ocean view with comfortable accommodations. Nothing fancy, homey feel, with great views. Kevin the property manager is and always has been very attentive to any needs. We had a great stay!
The location was wonderful. We had a lovely view of the ocean and pool. It is an older building and so that comes with a few small issues, but it was very cute and cozy.

Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves. I believe you were in a one bedroom condo, #9. We hope you will vacation with us again!
We loved our stay at this property. The beach was great and not crowded. We loved spending time at the pool There are so many other beaches you can visit close by. So many great restaurants super close by. The condo was clean and comfortable with comfy beds. Great view from the balcony. We would definitely stay here again.

This place is in a wonderful location. The best beach we saw while visiting Marathon was right outside our door and with the pool right there it was a win-win. The unit had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Everything in the unit and on the proper was clean and neat. Very well kept. If we were to return to Marathon again, we would definitely stay here again.
This is our 2nd year staying in unit 14 and seventh stay overall. Love Royal Plum ! Meghan and Kevin are awesome and the property is beautiful. Pool always at perfect temp ! Our go to happy place in Marathon!

Condo was great. Property manager was very friendly, helpful. Grounds /pool were very nice. Had loud neighbors late at night but can't help that. Worse part was the seaweed, very bad smell so that you couldn't enjoy sitting on patio along with the property owners 2-3 doors down the beach were raking it up every day making the smell unbearable because it was wet....

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We try very hard to make our guests' experience a pleasant one. Summertime is sea-grass season throughout the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the contributing factors for summer being "low" season and therefore having more value-oriented rates. We do rake our beach almost daily (depending on tidal conditions) to help with the seagrass accumulation, but many aspects of "Mother Nature" are beyond our control. Summer 2019 has been a particularly prevalent year throughout the Gulf and Caribbean tropics for sargassum sea-grass. As for the loud neighbors, if they are staying within this complex we are happy to enforce our quiet hours policy, and alerting Kevin or Meghan is the key. Thank you for staying with us, we do hope that you'll visit again, hopefully during high season when seagrass is not a factor.

Grounds are beautiful and well maintained outside.
The Royal Plum is a very beautiful complex. The grounds are very well maintained. Is just a beautiful place. Our unit this time was a little dated and not well cared for. But it was ok. We don’t spend much time inside anyway.
A few of our favorite restaurants were closed for vacation but we ventured out and found new ones. Sparkys Landing is an all time favorite as well as Franks and Burdines. Grands and Burdines were closed but we found the overseas bar and grill....amazing and no name bar and grill.....both very good. We will definitely be back in the Spring.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review your recent visit with us. Your feedback helps us to do our very best to make our complex and our condos a great experience for our guests. I believe you stayed in another condo during this particular stay with us (#7), and this review is being posted on the listing for condo #14 in our complex. Currently condo #14 is undergoing improvements and updates such as new, stainless steel appliances and new living room and dining room furniture as well as painting and other décor changes. All of our condos are individually owned and are in most cases the "second home" of their owners (rather than strictly an income property), therefore they reflect the individual owners needs and tastes. We offer an excellent vacation value, but we do take your criticisms constructively and make the necessary improvements as often as we can, evidenced by #14 getting its revitalization this time of year. In fact, #7 also has many new décor and improvement items slated to be done this month (it is our off season and the time we plan repairs and improvements). We like to tell our guests to please think of our condos like staying at your aunt or uncle’s beach house – we are not luxury accommodations – we ARE quaint, clean and homey, with an excellent location and good rates.
We are delighted to hear of your planned return next spring. We always enjoy your families' stays with us!
Not good. The property does not have elevator access; beware—nowhere was that advertised.
So many rules; notes all over the place (unit 14). Non working ceiling fan in living room with a strict rule of A/C not being set below 72.; the unit was extremely warm. The unit was dirty and had water damaged bathroom cabinets that were falling apart. They tell you the stains in the tub are a chemical reaction. If that he the case—why aren’t all of the condos in the Keys experiencing this? The tub was old and it needed resurfaced or replaced—and CLEANED properly. When contacting the Manager after leaving—being there only 24 hours—they did provide a partial refund for the week we booked. They will respond with its “homey” not a resort. A home should be clean; this was not. They allot each person one towel, one washcloth, and one towel for the entire week (they do disclose that in the long list of rules and contract they ask you to sign). If you use more—you will be charged a fee. They do have a coin-op ..but we found that to be a very cheap way of taking care of your guests; more towels is such a simple, inexpensive thing to provide. The site won’t allow us to upload our photos for proof. We cannot recommend this place. Remember—“homey equals NOT cleaned or maintained”-they will respond otherwise. Don’t buy it. Thank you

Dear Jeanne,
First, let me say we are very sorry for the issues that made your stay disappointing. We tried to make it right by offering to refund the unused portion of your visit. We are working hard to address each issue that you observed, however, there are a few things that are part of us being a "Vacation-Rental-By-Owner" rather than a resort or hotel. Our condos are an excellent value and we are priced with the intent that we are not "full-service", so yes, our guests, just like our owners, do their own laundry during their stay. This is a "home-like" (HomeAway!) experience, not a resort-like experience.
After your stay, the owners touched up the paint on the walls, and as I stated above, we are motivated to address and correct all genuine issues that adversely affected your experience. But please note that our description, advertising, pictures, and informational emails are all very clear about what we do and what we do not provide at this price-point, and we feel that we are very transparent in order to create a realistic expectation of what our guests will find. It's like staying at your aunt or uncle's beach house, not fancy, not luxury, but a nice, cozy condo with a great location and view.
We stayed 8 days and it was great we would go back to enjoy the area. I marked the housekeeping down because there was a lot of dust buildup behind bed tables and dresser and I’m have allergies so it was a little unpleasant. The area is great for exploring the keys and the people are very friendly. If you go enjoy yourself and use the beach in front of the condo it may look bad but once you get in a little it’s worth it.
This is our third time staying at Royal Plum, our fourth time to the Keys. We love this location-amazing pool, super friendly staff, great beach. Nothing less than a fabulous week. We’ll definitely be back-hopefully sooner than later!!
