Great holiday!
5/5 Stars

We had a fantastic time there - two families: 4 adults and 4 kids. I reckon we could have had double that and still been fine! The accommodation was large with lots of separate but big areas - great mix of external and internal rooms, facilities were great too. The pool and tiki area encouraged a very relaxed approach to things and the kids practically lived in the pool. The temptation was to stay in the whole time and we cooked in a lot - especially with the fish that we caught using the boat we hired and docked in the back garden . The kayaks drawn up on the lawn were a nice touch too. Very few bugs great weather in April. We did get out to some restaurants, down to Key West with some parasailing, scuba and snuba thrown in. We would definitely stay again and were kicking ourselves for not arranging a longer stay! Highly recommended.
Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Great accommodations!
5/5 Stars

Great vacation destination. Super accommodating for a large group. All on one level with lots of privacy. Multiple families have their own space. Very comfortable house with lots of beds and sitting areas. The pool area is wonderful. BIG pool and the hammock is a favorite napping spot under the tiki hut which offers lots of shade. (May need to start a sign-up sheet for time slots:). Screened-in porches are awesome for escaping the bugs, although there weren t many bugs while we were there. The dock area is very nice too. Easy to throw a line in from the dock. Super for having your own boat - or 3 boats. Great waterfront and dock space. Perfect canal for kayaking. The kitchen is roomy and functional. We cooked in most of the time and it is stocked well. The grocery store is a quick drive away. Nice, quiet neighborhood and a nice walk to the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

A thoroughly happy vacation was enjoyed by all for one week at this home on Marathon Key. The house is large, well furnished and the staff was very pleasant and attentive. The pool was perfect and the boys were happy fishing. The house is arranged so that the night owls have plenty of play space and the early risers can have their space too. The neighborhood was wonderful and convenient to Publix and plenty of restaurants as needed. We spent most of our evenings grilling by the pool and even enjoyed a trip to Key West one day which was perfect but everyone was most happy at Tiki Time. Obviously, we will return!

Great place for our family vacation!
Our entire family from two states enjoyed our vacation here. Ample space to spread out, having a pool and a dock was key. Saw manatee right at the dock! Kayaks were such a treat. Nice sized updates kitchen was a plus too. Only criticisms are tiny bar of soap and smallest shampoo ever and we had to buy toilet paper for the week which I don’t think is fair. Overall great place for our family of 10!

Excellent property needs maintence
Loved the house and location. Needs some work. Pool heater was off and hot tub was half empty when we arrived. Problems were fixable but should have been addressed prior to our arrival. Management was responsive and helpful and would stay there again.

Enjoyed the house
Really enjoyed the house and the location. It's hard to give a review for the overall experience as COVID-19 unfolded in the middle of our stay. Compassionate options were not offered around the context from the rental company. At the same time, we really liked the area and the house was sufficient for our group.

Perfect family fun spot!
The home is very spacious with plenty of room for our whole gang. The large yard held our trailer and four cars. We loved lounging around the giant pool and having the tiki hut for shade. The team at Coco Plum was very attentive to our few requests and were very fast at getting us all we asked for.

Tiki Time Disappointment
My family traveled to the Florida Keys on 2/17/15 to celebrate my parents 65th Wedding Anniversary. Unfortunately on arrival late in the day, we entered a house that hadn't been cleaned or appeared had not been occupied in some time. In addition, it was apparent there hadn't been any significant upkeep of this house for quite some time with the exception of the pool and kitchen area. After night of some family sleeping on beach towels, I reached out to Coco Plum Vacation Rental by visiting their office. Later on the 2nd day they addressed towels, linen and some minor cleaning. I would not recommend this house unless I was coming to visit with a group of guys for a fishing weekend. Here is an example of issues encountered when renting Tiki Time... General Cleaning Throughout specifically… Lights and vents need thorough dusting includes cleaning bugs inside of all lights. Corners of floors have dirt and crud. The towels in the entire house appear as if they have been used for cleaning, some have holes. Linen musty and some sheets have holes. Many lights do not have lightbulbs. Kitchen lightbulb needs replacing. Rugs in some bedroom very dirty. There are 2 apparent areas of the house that have water damage in ceiling probably the cause of musty/mold smell. Most windows are broken and don’t open. Closet door is off. Furnace/AC room door in hallway needs extensive cleaning. Our family did ask for a partial refund for issues we encountered and had to deal with during our stay but rental agency stated they don't give refunds. I have stayed in many houses rented via VRBO. I would not stay in this house again. I would not recommend this house or stay at any property rented by Coco Plum Vacation Rentals in the future.
