Exceptional Stay - Immaculately Clean, Perfect Location & Wonderful Hosts!

Absolutely outstanding stay! This place had everything we needed to feel completely at home and we were impressed by how clean it was. Location was great & really convenient. The pool and deck is fenced in and private and using the heated pool over our stay was a real treat. The hosts were wonderful, kind & responsive which made the whole experience even better. Overall great, relaxing experience. We would return in a heartbeat!

Florida Keys first time stay

This was my first VRBO and I found the owners to be excellent and helpful. I was surprised at the cleanliness and high standards of the property. Everything that was needed was in the home and everything was clean and almost new condition. Since it was our first time there, the property manager was helpful in giving us suggestions and things to do ... as the week went on we found a few additional things that we loved. The pool was so much fun and warm. I highly recommend this VRBO. It is on the smaller size so it would not be good for a large group or large family. Sunset Park was our favorite location, it truly lived up to its name.

Fabulous location in the Florida Keys!

Great property on a dead end street in the beautiful community of Key Colony Beach ! Homeowner Luis was extremely helpful and communicative as we stayed at this property for an entire month . Beds very comfortable, all new appliances, and fantastic location to keep a boat on a very calm and well protected canal . They provided us with brand new magnifying mirror and light and 4 new cruising bicycles which were fantastic ! Highly recommend this property !!

Great Property

This home was the perfect getaway for our entire family! The heated pool was a fantastic bonus, giving the kids a place to swim when we weren’t at the beach, and we all enjoyed fishing on the canal. Its convenient location near everything you need in the Florida Keys made it an easy choice, and we’ll definitely be returning. Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful home – it’s fully equipped with everything you could need, and the owners were an absolute pleasure to work with!

Perfect Vacation Spot

This rental was perfect for our family of four. We came down for lobster mini season and the boat dockage was very convenient and a short ride to both the Atlantic and Gulf. The rental was clean, spacious and had everything we needed during our stay. Very comfortable and beautiful views. We can’t wait to come again!

Convenient but private

This is one of the best places to stay in Marathon. It's convenient to the grocery stores, and other areas, but is very private and comfortable. The dock names it nice for getting out to fish or dive, it's only a 10 minute cruise out to the open water. The check in and check out are easiest we've ever done, and the hosts have made sure everything you need is there from kitchen needs to extra towels for the beach or pool. Yes we will definitely stay here again. Thanks for a quiet home away from home to relax and unwind.

The perfect relaxing getaway

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. The private pool was amazing. The kayak and paddleboards were a ton of fun. The covered patio was a great spot to sit and watch the thunderstorms roll by. The location was central to everything we wanted to do in the Keys. If you're looking for a Keys vacation but don't want the party central vibe that comes with Key West, then this is your spot.
