About this house rental




Relax in the private pool with the Spectacular Shelter Bay in the background...Our home is located directly on Shelter Bay in Key Colony Beach with some of the most spectacular views of open water a guest can ask for. We have had the privilege of seeing Dolphin, Spotted Sting Ray, Manatee right at our dock, turtles, and so much for sea life right on our own property! You can not ask for a better view of the waterways under the bridges and the many marina areas. You can launch your boat at any of these marinas or the free public boat launch only 1 mile from our home; bring your boat right under the Vaca cut bridge right into the bay and up the house. We offer a beautifully decorated home with very large open kitchen/living room concept that overlooks open water on Shelter Bay. Fully screened in porch that allows added seating from kitchen and living room area with 2 full sized patio doors to open up for more room to view the stunning sea life you will get to see right off the screened in patio area. We have a balcony walkway all the way around the house for back and front seating for any or all of your viewing pleasures of both the water and amazing golf course and tennis courts. Our pool is an over sized pool for those who love to get in a great exercise before the day or for many of us who like to lounge, it is even better! We offer plenty of seating around the pool deck area with loungers and an upper seating area . Optional pool heat is available for colder months or as requested. Master bedroom is a king sized bed with it’s own full bathroom filled of tile and a shower to just fall in love with; who doesn’t love a full sized body massage shower? TV provided in this room for your viewing pleasure. 2nd bedroom offers a king bed located off the private hallway and near the 2nd full sized bathroom with full massage shower. TV is provided in this room as well with dresser and 2 full closets Bedroom 3 is located in lower level with queen bed and it’s own full sized bathroom and full shower and massage shower. Our kitchen is complete with lots of amenities like regular coffee pot, Keurig, toaster, and many other appliances that will make your vacation a breeze. Speaking of breeze, open the doors to the screened in patio and to the kitchen and living room area and you will experience the most tranquil breeze around! Lower level offers a full sized bathroom/shower area. When you come in from a long day of fishing, sunbathing, or just relaxing, you can take a quick shower here and come out refreshed. We have 2 full carport areas that allow for plenty of parking and for a boat trailer. Our dock area can accommodate a boat up to 40 feet or 2 boats with a full sized fish cleaning table and light. Bait freezer is located in the carport area. We are located close to many shops, bait stores, amazing restaurants, and plenty of walking and biking trails on our island. Our home is directly across from Golf Course and Tennis courts for the many guests who like quick access to activity. Key Colony Beach is a family-friendly area with plenty of room to walk/bike to just about anywhere on the island. Kayaks are available on our property with life jackets. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do, and thank you for viewing our home.

We loved this property! We have stayed in a lot of place in Marathon and this one is our favorite! Very well stocked, lots of space for everyone to enjoy, boat dock and cleaning station are great! Fishing in the bay was better than in the canal. Easy access to vaca cut. Pool was a great size for floating around and very private. We will be back!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property (March, 2024). There were 3 couples and we had plenty of room and fun things to do there. The pool was great, plenty of towels! There was even a karaoke machine that we had fun with by the pool. Really enjoyed the Margarita machine (that made a great fresh fruit, slushy margarita that was so nice to have by the pool)! Plenty of fishing poles. I caught a baby sand shark- yikes that the guys let go -lol. Beds were comfortable and the showers —- they were awesome. Had fun riding the bikes around and going for walks in the peaceful area of Key Colony. The only drawback was the basement room which had a musty smell. Overall a wonderful place to stay!!!!

This was our first time in the keys. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Location was perfect because we wanted to be able to visit all of the major keys and we were able to do that without spending too much time in the car. Location was perfect because we felt like we were part of the community of Key Colony Beach. Very welcoming community. Location was perfect because we were able to see dolphins every day from our house, as well as a stingray, manatee and a bonnet head shark. We had the most amazing time and the house was clean, the host was very easy to work with and we would absolutely stay here again and again.

Communication before, during and after our stay was wonderful. Missy was very prompt with her replies and thorough with answers. The pool was very nice just extremely deep so harder for the little ones to use. It needed a little TLC, but nothing major and the pool crew was there on our first day. We used every bed the house offered, and every bathroom. It was nice having three bathrooms, but they were on the smaller side and with the style sink, lacked counter space. The showers were neat with almost every shower spray option imaginable. Slightly tricky to operate at first, but once we got the hang of it it was no big deal. We loved the ice machine on the porch. It was very convenient for coolers and beach days, and the poolside fridge was nice as well. We do wish the listing had more details of what amenities were available so we could have packed lighter (snorkel gear, outdoor speaker, bikes and paddle board). Another thing not listed but the manager did disclose to use prior to our visit was the third bedroom on the ground level only has an entrance from the outside of the house. The location of the house was perfect. Right in the middle of the Keys, in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of shops and activities nearby to enjoy. Overall our trip was very enjoyable.

You won't be disappointed staying here. The house is spacious, both bedrooms and baths are large and updated. The living area offers commanding views of the water and the porch makes morning coffee and evening cocktails relaxing. The weather wasn't the best but we were able to enjoy the pool area (expansive) and did make into the pool on occasion. The house is well stocked with anything you could want and location is hard to beat. A perfect welcome to KCB!

The house was perfect for our laid back family. We enjoyed golf, pickle ball, tennis and daily bike rides. The king beds were comfy as were the nice newly remodeled bathrooms.
