Location was perfect for us. House was exactly like the pictures. Could have been a little cleaner. Floors needed to be mopped. Overall it worked out great for us.

The property is set on a nice canal where you can fish off the dock or bring your boat. There are canoes to use and a fish freezer outside. There were plenty of utensils and a linen for use. It was clean and comfortable. The only reason I did not give a five star was because of how small the master bathroom was made. The master bedroom was huge and I thought should be overlooking the canal, but it was facing the street. There are many iguanas around the property that are interesting to look at as well.

When we first arrived at the house, everything was perfect. Plenty of space for parking my trailer, plus a couple other cars. However, after getting settled, we noticed there was some water leaking into the hallway from the hvac closet. We opened the closet door and the drip pan was flooded with a small bucket already overflowing. There were also two filters stuffed into the slot. We had to keep an eye on this for the entire week to ensure the pan did not overflow and leak into the hallway. I emailed the property manager with pics on the first night, but never got any type of response. The rooms were spacious. The towels we found in the dryer were not dry. No sponge in the kitchen, no excess toilet paper, no propane in the tank, which I read in the welcome package I would be reimbursed for, but it’s been 2 weeks and I haven’t seen a dime. The location was great and only a 20 min ride by boat to the Atlantic. Overall, the stay was great, but just the little things could use some more attention by whoever maintains the property.

We really enjoyed staying here. The house was very clean and spacious for our family of four. It could easily accommodate a larger group. We enjoyed the view of the canal and the evening breezes on the porch. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you!

Ditto what others said...
Property was beautiful and comfortable inside and really met our needs.
The iguana's that sun on the dock area are pretty cool!
True what everyone says about the front room having NO privacy. Not sure why they haven't installed some simple pull across drapes on a rod yet. Such an easy fix.
Also Jess knows very little about items IN the property itself. I think her standard answer is NO when asked about certain items. We found the items we had asked about there when she told us they weren't.

Fantastic stay, very comfortable
We really enjoyed our stay at Key Colony Beach, Beautiful house very comfortable. I do want to mention that the room that faces the canal does have a curtain, that was a concern given other comments, but has been rectified. The only issue we had was that it was a little tight to get our trailer in the driveway, but our trailer is pretty long. I ended up disconnecting it and walking it in, which we were able to pull off with two guys. 10/10 would definitely stay here again.

Nice property, modern and neat, but very poorly equipped
Overall, this property is as it appears online, if you adjust your thinking for a camera using a very wide angle lens. There are two smallish bedrooms with two beds in each - and the 3rd bedroom is basically the former back porch converted into a room (it is done well), but you are completely surrounded by windows on 3 sides. There are no curtains whatsoever on the largest glass sliding door that faces the canal (it runs the entire width of the room), so be ready for no privacy and lots of light. The wall into the interior is also entirely glass, but has some shear drapes over it. Nice room, but a little hot and no privacy (why no drapes or blinds?).
VRBO is modern (has been redone recently), and looks good on the inside. Kitchen is modern but VERY poorly equipped. Cooking at a VRBO is always a challenge, but in this case it is particularly challenging. There are extensive, well written instructions on garbage and checkout,... but there is no extra garbage bags, no laundry detergent, no dishwasher detergent, no cleaning supplies of any kind. Nothing. There was a half roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, and that was it. No extra supplies anywhere. There was one towel in each bathroom. One. We contacted the property manager, and the next day a woman stopped by to show us the "secret closet" (small closet in the left most back bedroom), which has 4 additional towels and 4 beach towels,... and that's it. We had to buy our own TP and our own paper towels and any cleaning supplies we used and a dish brush.
Condiments wise - zero. No salt, pepper, nothing.
When we arrived, it was 90 in the condo and the AC was running wide open, but we found most vents were closed (??, no idea), and also that the filter on the AC unit was so filthy that it had sucked up inside the box, and the AC pan was filled with water, and there were two old moldy towels keeping water from leaking out into the hall. We removed and replaced the filter, opened the vents, emptied out the full AC pan, and the AC worked fine (AC units will not work with no inlet air and no outlets open!). So, AC unit was left working much better then when we found it. This is just a simple maintenance problem.
Overall, a nice condo but the property manager needs to pay it a little more attention, or get on their maintenance staff.

Coco Plum
Property was great! Only issues we had were the AC was draining on the floor, had to put a bucket under the unit and empty twice a day or AC would shut off due to too much water in the pan. I sent a message to the leasing office and never had a response. Condensate line needs to be cleaned so unit will drain. This should be a ding on the leasing office and not the property, since the agreement states if any issues contact them and not the owner!

Great house on the water
We had a great time at this property. It had plenty of room for the 6 of us , and was a great waterfront location. We did have problems with the AC the first night, and tried to call and message the property manager, but we never heard back. The AC started working the second day, so it all worked out. Other than that, our stay was amazing and we would rent this property again.

Wonderful vacation
This was a great place to stay, relax, and explore the Florida Keys. The kitchen was a little understocked (only 1 odd baking sheet and nothing else for the oven, no dish clothes). Some of the beds were not Queen-size, as listed. Other than that, we loved the house and were very comfortable. The welcome basket was a nice touch.

Convenient location, great little place to get away!
Spent a week with some family nearby and this location was great for us. We were able to visit Key West and many other local attractions easily as they were only short drives.

Needs more attention to detail
Our first impression was the house was perfect, but upon our arrival and stay, many issues arose. First, the third bedroom was connected to the porch with no curtains or blinds. Not only did the cause issues with sleeping, there was no privacy for changing. The doors to the bedroom from the kitchen side were window paneled with shear curtains providing no privacy from the inside as well. It is hardly considered a third bedroom because you are pretty much open to all, at all times occupied.
Kayaks were great, but there is no ladder to get on and off the dock. This made swimming and the usage of kayaks very difficult.
The Coco Plum Beach is not as close as advertised. It is a mile away from the house. Yes, half a mile from the end of the street, but hardly walking distance for a day’s beach trip. It is also filled with seaweed along the sand, which smells terrible, and takes away from the beautiful blue water beaches that you think of when you plan your trip to the keys.
The TV in the master bedroom didn’t work, and there was only about 8 channels on the living room TV. We were stuck in for a hurricane day, so that was less than ideal. It’s not a smart TV either, for screen cast or Netflix.
The neighbors have dogs, which pooped in our backyard, and there were no cleaning supplies or hand soap in the kitchen (more of a big deal because of COVID).
This place as the potential to be really awesome with a few fixes and upgrades. It was pretty clean, and we enjoyed the wild life (iguanas, sharks, manatees, and fish) from the dock. Sandbar wasn’t that far, so I highly recommend bringing/ renting a boat instead of visiting the neighborhood beach.

Great stay
Had a great time, we brought down our boat and the dockage was perfect for getting on and off the water in no time. Early morning fishing trips were a breeze. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for 6 guys

Great location!
The home is beautiful! The kitchen was well stocked and the little welcome bag was a nice touch.
The property manager responded quickly and patiently to my questions.
The bedroom that looks over the water doesn’t have any window coverings so the rising sun will wake whoever sleeps there but I personally enjoy that.
There is a shared staircase with the homeowners next door but we loved getting to visit with them. Neighbors are friendly and quiet, even the children. Such a nice neighborhood back on the cul-de-sac!

Enjoyed our visit
The property was very clean and tastefully decorated. We saw manatees in the canal behind the house and enjoyed using the kayaks. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Fisherman's Delight
This house was as good as pictured, if not better, and description was spot-on. Modern, clean and perfectly situated if you want quick access to the Atlantic. The docking area has all amenities for your boat. The only thing that I would recommend is that a fish cleaning table be added at dock area, although we had no problem since our boat is equipped with one. Great place to take your family and we definitely plan on going back next time we are thinking about visiting The Florida Keys and more specifically, Marathon Island, which in my view is the best place for fishing in Florida. I hope this review doesn't give away our favorite place for fishing for the past 30 years and attracks more people that the thousands that alreday go there :(

Decent 3 bedroom house on a canal/waterway
The house was exactly as described and offered at a fair price. Condition of the home was OK with decent beds and minimal enhancements. Good house to rent if you want to be in the Marathon area and require a boat dock. Very minimal and extremely cheap cooking appliances, silverware, etc.

Spring Break Family Fun
This was the perfect spot for us! We rented a boat for the week which we docked right outside. We were able to enjoy some of the wonderful snorkeling spots a few miles offshore. We even had a manatee visit us one afternoon! We enjoyed the slower pace of Marathon but loved being a short drive from the fun of Key West as well! The house was just the right size for us. (2 families of 4)

Awesome Family Vacation!
This property was amazing. Two families including three teens enjoyed our stay immensely. The kayaks were a welcome perk and the teens enjoyed taking them out to see "pelican island". We walked to Coco Plum Beach a couple of days and also enjoyed some of the other nearby beaches. My 17-year-old son's golden birthday was during our trip and we made the Key Lime Pie recipe on the wall of the kitchen. It was a huge hit with all! Sunrises and coffee on the front deck in the morning and watching the teens fish at night right from the house made for a great vacation.

Great spot
We chose this home for location and we are boaters. It was spotless and comfortable. Beach was 1/2 mile away. Downside no beach chairs to use. Had to but one. Little stingy with tp/pt but overall great stay.

Nice little place in Marathon
Nice Clean place. Quiet area for the most part. 20 minute boat ride to offshore fishing. Overall a great place for my family.
I would say that management or owners take a look at the hammock in front yard, its weathered to the point it may be a danger to anyone of adult size. Same goes with some patio chairs on balcony. We noted these items on our note when we dropped off keys.
Overall we will back next year.

Extremely Nice
This property was in an excellent location, great size and layout, was well maintained. A few things to think about adding is a fish cleaning station, washer got unlevel when used and we did not trust it, needed a few more kitchen things, a pitcher, some storage bowls for left overs and another chair on deck with the table so 2 people could have coffee.

Nice vacation home, perfect location....the pictures accurately represent the home.
Nice vacation home, perfect location....the pictures accurately represent the home. The home was occasionally hot due to the lock on the AC, I would suggest you lower the locked temp. or install curtains on the sliders facing the water. Overall nice home and would stay there again. Thanks for hosting us.

Perfect location
Had a great time here. House was perfect for our family.
We slept 7 comfortably. Master is odd with 2 beds, but no biggie.
Lots of room out back and canal was great. Loved the use of kayaks!
Rented a boat from All Abroad Boats right around the corner. Super convenient.
We will defintely look forward to returning here. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven in the keys.
