Had a good time. Property comes with the Cabana Club membersip which is walking distance around the corner for pool, beach and resturant. Dock is nice and easy to pull into with a larger boat.
Nice property inside and great location. The only thing was the grounds of the property was a little tired. Regardless, I would still recommend staying here. It was perfect for the two of us.
This was a great place for access to the ocean and seeing the keys. It’s easy to locate and offer great opportunities to see what the keys has to offer. The boat slip was perfect for our 28 foot rental. There is fresh water to rinse off the salt from your equipment after a day fishing. There is a fish cleaning table that we used every day for our fish and lobsters.
His property was beautiful when I read it cleanliness only three stars it wasn’t for the inside inside was spotless the rear yard was a little messy no big deal we weren’t home much but I’m definitely coming back next year and hopefully I can get the same property
This was our second visit to Key Colony Beach and this home was in a great location. Clean home, comfy beds, and’s hot showers with plenty of water pressure. All basics were covered, and we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, as well. A huge manatee visited us on our last day, and my husband caught at least 6 varieties of fish from our deck, including Sargent Major, Pompano, Bluestriped Grunt, and the biggest surprise, a 2’ long barracuda! The deck sagged considerably in the middle, but it was still safeto walk on, but may need to be looked at in the future. The house suited our purpose beautifully, and we truly appreciated how quickly the owners returned our emails.

Great location but needs updates
The neighborhood amenities, restaurants, and access to the pool and beach club were the highlight of the stay. The unit itself needs updating. My son is 6’4” and the guest shower head hit at his chest, for example. The master bath needs an exhaust fan and the only plugs for hair dryers and such are located behind the door by the washer and dryer. It would have been nice for the price to include a few bikes for use in the neighborhood. Finally having to walk through the second bedroom or outside and around is awkward with guests. The place is best for two people. If you have a boat, the location on the canal is very nice. The sunrise view from the back is lovely. The backyard debris needs cleaning up and updated furniture compared to others around it.
We had a wonderful time while staying on this property. The house was clean, organized, items where easy to find. The neighborhood was welcoming, safe, and quiet....overall a wonderful fit for our family. We loved our time at the Cabana Club. The staff was friendly and courteous. Only a few small things that could use some help... The shower in the main hallway took a couple of minutes for the hot water to kick in for us & the backyard is lovely but had an excess of leaves that could use a little maintenance. It was nice to have the tree because it gave us shade from the hot sun, but those leaves got on everything. Overall, it was still a very very very lovely home and will definitely plan to return. Highly recommend it. Oh, and the views from Sunset Park of the sunset are breathtaking, but be sure to put on some bug spray on yourself and the kiddos...the No-see-um's can be vicious at dusk and dawn. The neighborhood of Key Colony is so incredibly beautiful. The fishing from the dock in the back is wonderful and having the golf course right in front of the house was awesome! Staying here was in the perfect location to explore all the Keys have to offer.
Nice place to stay. Quiet neighborhood with good restaurant. Only flaw was no neighborhood boat ramp and closest one was $70 a day to use!!!!! House could have been cleaned better also. But overall not a bad stay!
This was the perfect place for our family to spend a week. Property was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Walking distance to the pool/private beach, easy to access restaurants and boat rentals, and the canal out back was a great spot to sit and enjoy the wildlife (we saw a manatee on day one). Couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more!
This rental is pretty homey and welcoming. The owner experienced a bit of a problem with the unit that required a repair and we had to wait two nights to stay. The owner felt terrible and made us whole, I feel like integrity during a problem speaks volumes and I would definitely rent again if I’m the area. Positives: the sheets are sooo soft, air works very well (kept at an average of 73 and we were cold sometimes), well stocked kitchen, nice back patio, large capacity washer and dryer, and smart TV’s. Negative: one bedroom is a pass through to the master. All in all a good property.
When we got to the property after 4pm, the property had not been cleaned at all from previous stay. We texted the owner, who was prompt and contacted their cleaning agency. There was a mix up and the property had not been scheduled to be cleaned. The cleaning crew arrived within an hour and set to work. During this time we took a walk and sat in the backyard. Not ideal for those of us who had spent 14 hours traveling and had not gotten much sleep. After cleaning crew left, the place was very clean. We hadn't realized though that you had to go through one bedroom to get to the other one, which was kind of funky. There was at least an outside entrance to the back bedroom, which helped. The home is small and with 5 of us in there, it could get crowded at times. The location was wonderful. Really close to everything and since we rented a boat for a couple of days, it was ideal since it had a dock. Would love to stay in Key Colony Beach again, but would probably not stay here.
This property was a real treat! The unit was immaculate and nicely furnished. The sliding door had a view of the canal and dock which was beautiful and relaxing when hanging out on the patio. The location was within walking distance to several restaurants and the cabana club. My early morning walks in the neighborhood were comfortable as there are biking and walking lanes.
We fished from the dock, and manatees were frequent visitors in the canal. One day they hung out right by our dock for close to half an hour!
We had a great time at this unit and are already trying to plan a return trip next year.
Relaxing oasis at the beginning of Key Colony! Cabana was a quick walk away!
No flares but had just what was needed.
Easy check-in and Property Manager readily available.
Always love staying here! We’ve booked 2 years now and plan to continue each year. Jack and Denise are always available for questions when we contact them. Always clean and love the cabana club amenity.
We really enjoyed our stay. We had a great time fishing off the dock and spending time with the friendly neighbors. This property is great for anyone with a boat or anyone looking for a quiet getaway. There are a few restaurants near by and the cabana club was a nice addition. The property had everything we needed. There were only a few tv channels to choose from but we didn't need them.

Things needed.
My overall experience was good. A very nice location and view. However my spouse and I woke up on 2 different occasions with ants crawling on us and we saw a dead roach on the floor. Probably needs to be serviced by a pest control company. The other thing needed is an upgrade on the cable channels. Yes I was on vacation and wasn't in the house much but almost every channel I turned to said notavailable. I would've like to watch t.v. as I am going to bed.
The canal-side condo was perfect for our needs. Quiet and clean, with all the necessary amenities. Marathon is a great location, accessible to ALL the Keys.
Caught lots of fish from the dock, even saw a dolphin, manatee and a nurse shark.
The house is in a good location, close to restaurants and the Cabana Club. We enjoyed fishing in the canal, but unfortunately the fish we caught were too small to keep. As mentioned in a previous review, the living room is noticeably colder than the master bedroom. Just a heads up - the cable only has over-the-air channels. There are no standard cable channels, such as ESPN, CNN, Food Network, etc
Great place to stay. We could walk to the private beach and pool or stroll around the neighborhood. There is so much to do close by. The place was big enough for 5 of us to stay. Having a washer and dryer was very handy. The only negative was a very squeaky door to the back bedroom and it would have been nice if beach towels were provided. We just ended up buying $5 beach towels in Key West so it wasn’t a big deal. We would definitely stay here again.
Key colony beach is the perfect place to stay in the keys. The kids loved fishing off the dock and caught so many fish! We enjoyed the cabana club pool and beach. It's a nice quiet community in a location that made it easy to visit many locations throughout the keys.
