Perfect vacation
10.0
Our trip to Marathon was once again, amazing! The accommodations and property at Indigo Reef (#43) were absolutely wonderful, just as described in the listing and we very much appreciated everything the unit and the complex had to offer! The communication before arrival and prior to departure we so helpful as well.
We are already looking forward to a return stay and enjoying another escape to one of our favorite coastal getaways!

The condo complex is beautiful. Quiet and tucked away but close to lots of things in Marathon. The heated pool was warm, there were pool toys for use by the kids, manatees swam in the canal and the back deck was the perfect place to wind down after a busy day.
There were a few 'worn' spots in the condo but nothing serious, obviously used to be a shelf in the bathroom they didn't pay h the holes on, a few scuffs and a single broken tile in the master bath. But it was decorated beautifully and in particular the living room (or master bedroom) view of the canal and water looked just as good I person as in the listing pics.
If I was to recommend anything to the owners it would be another few blankets. There was only one for three beds (plus a sofa bed we didn't use) and getting the thermostat just right at night where no one needed a blanket was tough. And a normal sauce pan for boiling noodles or heating up soup (there was a big stockpot but not anything smaller). And the dishwasher needed an instruction manual :). Again, not serious and would definitely book again. Especially appreciated the small container of laundry soap, hand soap, shampoo, etc.

We have stayed at Indigo Reef several times, always a positive experience! This particular unit had a canal view with the most beautiful sunsets! Our college kids joined us, they love it as much as we do! The unit is comfortable, spacious & decorated beautifully! Definitely will be back!

This villa has everything needed and it’s a great location to be in. Lots of room, well stocked on pots, pans, utensils & spices-something not all vacation properties take care to have within. We’ve stayed at Indigo Reef multiple times and John Zito’s properties never disappoint!

This property was as described in the listing, nicely updated and fully equipped for our week. We enjoyed both decks to watch the beautiful sunsets and views. The grounds were very nicely maintained and the pool was close by to the property. The kids loved the box of water toys and floats located by the pool house that were available for use. Great communication with the host, appreciated all of the materials provided and ease of check in and check out. We will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort. My husband and I along with four teenagers had plenty of space within the home.. The views overlooking the water were incredible as well as the sunsets and scenic walkways all around the property. We would absolutely recommend this resort as a vacation option.

Overall it was great.
Overall the unit and grounds were great. The dock reconstruction project was noisy and that was a bummer. We will consider a return trip in the future.

Beautiful location and community
Beautiful location, sunsets were spectacular. The unit was a little worn, but clean. Kitchen had everything we needed including a commercial margarita maker that was really fun. Beds were super comfortable. Only suggestion is to have a couple of extra throw blankets as a couple of the evenings got chilly and some beach chairs.

Fun Four of July vaca with our boat
The convenience of this property was amazing. Our car was in covered parking outside the front door and our boat was out back. The hose hookup at the boat slip was helpful. The property had everything we needed to cook meals and relax. The AC worked really well which is important in FL. This listing looks just like the photos. The location of the unit was great for sunset views and also near the dock and pool. Indigo Reef had many friendly families staying there mainly to fish during the day. I would recommend it!

Beautiful and peaceful setting
Property was perfectly situated. The listing was accurate and the owner extremely accessible. The only things I would change are the mattresses in the bedrooms are not the best and the cleanliness of the kitchen appliances and utensils. Otherwise great! Amazing sunsets.

Anglars and Divers Paradise
I can sum up this place in one word, MAGNIFICENT. I am an avid fisherman and diver, and I travel down to the keys every year. I hit it pretty hard everyday. What makes my trips are the easy logistics of housing, boat dockage, fuel, bait and close proximity to the reefs. Indigo Reef provided me all of this that is unequal to anywhere else I have stayed in Marathon. The boat slip is just steps away, and very protected from the elements. Fuel and bait are just around the corner. Restaurants on the water are minutes away, and the boat ramp is within walking distance. This place is first class. I almost didn't even want to write a review because I really don't want everyone else to know how great this place really is. It's a fisherman thing. LOL. John was very accommodating, and I had a ton of questions before I came. He answered them all, and we spoke on the phone multiple times. Most of all other places that I have stayed, you just don't get that kind of service. We will definitely be back, this time with the kids.

We had a wonderful 5 day stay for diving at Looe Key. The three bedroom unit was better than expected.

Great place and location.
Everything was great. Three things: 1. Livingroom tv had 4 controllers . None of us knew how to set regular tv. 2. Ceiling in living room drywall damage . 3. Wooden dock deck is uneven due to the weather.

Beautiful home, breathtaking views, wonderful amenities.
This villa is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. We loved the property, the pool, the boat docks, and the porch was just awesome for ending each evening. This particular unit is just steps away from the swimming pool, and our kids really loved that. Behind the pool, there is a huge ice maker, so we were able to fill our coolers before heading to the beach, which was a great perk. We will stay again!

Beautiful Villa with gorgeous views!!
As soon as we pulled up the the entrance of Indigo Reef Villas on January 7th, we felt we were someplace special. The grounds are very well maintained with much wildlife to see. We saw lots of iguanas, tropical birds and even a manatee came down our canal!
The villa was very spacious for the six adults in our party. It was IMMACULATE, very well decorated and comfortable. (the king bed was amazing!) The pool was super nice and had brand new chair cushions and umbrellas. And the pool is heated!
We rented a boat for 3 days from a nearby marina which was docked right outside our door! Fishing was great, though it could have been a bit calmer on the water. The last day we went out all day fishing with a guide who took us right on the fish. (I would recommend a guide since they know the water, the fish that are running, their equipment is much better than what you get on the rental boats and the boat has everything on it when you show up.)
John Zito sends you all the info you need to have a relaxing and/or fun filled vacation!
Thank you John!
Our vacation was a home run with our crew! We had a perfect week at Indigo Reef!
We will be back!

Beautiful Tranquility!
With layered views of the sky and the gulf, this villa at Indigo Key offers a painters introduction to the beauty of the southernmost cays of Florida. Close to the Marathon Aquarium, the Turtle Hospital, and Crane Hammock, your visit can combine ecology, boating, beaching, fishing, paddle boarding, as well as all the cultural pleasures of Key West. This three bedroom villa with porches and balconies front and back is separated from US1 by a nature preserve and offers a beautiful pool, clubhouse, and boat slips for your use.

Meticulously maintained with wonderful views!
Our stay at Indigo Reef Villa 43 was amazing. A large part of this was directly contributable to the excellent service and information provided leading up to our stay by John. By time we got down to Marathon the only thing we had to do was walk in and enjoy ourselves as every question had been answered without us having to ask!
Even though this is a townhome development we felt it still provided the quiet and privacy we had hoped for.
Having rented a boat for a number of days the proximity to the assigned dock was greatly appreciated as it made loading up each day a breeze and afforded a peace of mind knowing you're boat and any equipment is right there in plain sight.
The townhome itself was spotless and the amenities provided, from the TV's to the Margaritaville frozen concoction maker, to even the washer and dryer surpassed expectations.
I would not hesitate to return to Marathon and will definitely stay here again when we do.

INDIGO REEF - GREAT PLACE TO STAY!
We had an awesome vacation in the Florida Keys and at Villa in Indigo Reef Resort in Marathon. People couldn’t believe after the devastation from Irma, that the Florida Keys would be a good place to go. The people of the Keys are Survivors and have done a great job rebuilding! They just need more people to visit! Our Villa in Indigo Reef was a lovely 3 bedroom. 2.5 bath with more than what we needed. It was close to everything and the owner was great to work with and we will definitely go back! The Kuyoth Family

What a wonderful place to stay!
This was the perfect vacation spot. We traveled with our 4 children (ages 20, 19, 18, & 11). The villa was beautiful and wonderfully equipt with all of our needs. The location was perfect. We did several day trips, but we also had time to simply relax in the quiet villa and enjoy the pool. It was by far one of our best family vacations.

What a beautiful place! Unit 43 at Indigo Reef not only met our expectations, but exceeded them! The unit was much more spacious than it seemed while doing our pre-booking research. It easily accommodated our group of 6 with plenty of room for more. The large porch was a very popular hangout spot. The view from the balcony of the master bedroom was breathtaking, particularly at sunrise/sunset. The pool was great and the ice machine was a huge plus! The boat slip is literally just outside the backdoor and with minimal 'no wake' zone we had had quick, easy access to both the Gulf and the Atlantic. Marathon in general has a lot to offer without the insanity of Key West, as there are many shops and stores very close...but you wouldn't know it once you're inside Indigo Reef as it's very secluded and quiet. I would not hesitate to book here again, and probably will. Thanks to the Zitos! Top notch vacation...

My family and I had an incredible stay at Indigo Reef. The condo is extremely well appointed with a large kitchen and substantial space. The westerly views cannot be beat from either porch in the back. Pool was warn and spacious. Nice to have other people around, but quiet enough that nobody bothered you. We even saw a mom and baby manatee in the boat slip! The Zitos were incredibly responsive when we had any questions or when the internet went out. We look forward to coming back again.

Our family had a wonderful stay at indigo reef. It's a lovely place with great sunset views, and Marathon is a good location for exploring the Keys. We liked it so much we extended our stay, which John made possible--he is great to work with--very responsive and helpful.
