Sunset Views, Pool and Dock

AllenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We really liked the location. It was peaceful and private and a great neighborhood to walk around and to walk our dog. Yet, a short drive into Marathon for restaurants or any other needs. The house isn’t new but it was exactly as represented and it was perfect for us. Frank was very responsive. There were a couple of issues that he addressed immediately. It wasn’t his fault that because of the location, receiving repair parts can take some time. But Frank took care of our situations.

I really enjoyed my first time in the keys and this condo was the perfect place to relax after a busy day. I loved that it was in a central location to the other islands and that I was able to cook meals to save some money. Everyone in the complex was friendly.

Waterfront Oceanside, 60 Ft Dock, As seen on HGTV

LaurenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a wonderful time staying at Tim’s place! He was an excellent host who was always available if I had a question. The house is in a beautiful location. We enjoyed sitting on and fishing off the dock. The house had everything we needed for a fantastic stay and a very enjoyable vacation. I can’t say enough good things about our experience at the home. We were able to meet Tim and he was a lovely host. Thank you for a great vacation! We hope to come back in the future!

Home near beach & restaurants

PamelaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great time at “Home near beach and restaurants” in Marathon. I would say the high points of this place were: - It was very clean - It was very comfortable in terms of the shared living space as well as the two bedrooms and baths. - We ate in 5 out of 7 nights (but one of those was pizza) and the kitchen was very well stocked. - I loved having a working icemaker in the refrigerator - And the air conditioning worked wonderfully (it was very warm outside). - We enjoyed going to the beach multiple times and there was beach “stuff” included that we definitely made use of.

The Pink Dolphin House.

PatrickRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful ocean views and great local recommendations from the host! Some aspects of the interior were a bit dated, but with multiple areas to enjoy the outdoors (offering full shade to full sun and everything in between), we didn't do much inside except sleep. Kids spent hours per day in the pool and adults most enjoyed lounging on the jetty with 345 degrees of ocean views. Board games (and a ps3) were available for the occasional down time. The location allows for a feeling of privacy on the ocean while offering many hidden gems for dining and activities nearby.

Casa Lago Mar 3/2 with Cabana Club Access

TimRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We loved staying at Melissa’s Airbnb. The neighborhood was nice and very walkable. Loved being right on the canal. The Cabana Club was great for kids with the pool and beachfront area. Marathon was a great Key to stay on with lots to do. The duplex was clean and beds were comfortable. Loved sitting out on the back porch in the morning with coffee. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back someday.

Golf Coast Oasis

NoraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We really enjoyed our week at Gulf Coast Oasis! The house was lovely, well-stocked, and great for our family of 5. We very VERY much enjoyed the pool and appreciated being able to heat it. Loved using the bikes and kayaks. Ate on the screened in porch. Madelyn was very helpful and responsive both in advance of and during our trip. Great stay! The only "negative" was the noise from the nearby airport -- not disruptive but worth noting.

Your guide to Key Colony Beach

Welcome to Key Colony Beach

Among the many islands and beaches of the Florida Keys, Key Colony Beach stands out for its white sand, small but loyal local community, and the canals that give waterfront boat access to nearly everyone in town. The main portion of Key Colony (a tiny bit of the city spills onto neighboring Fat Deer Key) sits on what was once known as Shelter Key. In the Middle Keys, adjacent to Marathon, a small road leaves U.S. Highway 1, also known as the Overseas Highway; the one-lane causeway with a small bridge provides the only road access to Key Colony Beach. In the mid-1950s, developers dredged around the island, nearly tripling its size and creating its now-famous canals. Most houses on Key Colony face one of these canals, making it easy to head out into the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean to enjoy the fishing, boating, and diving for which the region is known.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Key Colony Beach

Summertime is high time in Key Colony Beach. Though temperatures may spike, and the humidity can have a way of making you feel as if you’re wearing a second skin, it’s still the season that draws the most visitors. If you can get here in March or April, spring offers significantly more moderate weather and a far lower likelihood of rainfall. Spring also coincides with some of the town’s biggest festivals, including Key Colony Beach Day, celebrating the birthday of the city, and a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Fall is nearly as pleasant, with the caveat that, as in late summer, it brings the concern of hurricane season and requires keeping an eye on alerts.


Top things to do in Key Colony Beach

Sunset Park

As its name implies, this park facing Vaca Cut Bridge is an excellent place to enjoy an evening and watch the sun go down over the water. Prior to the main event each day, the pier makes for great birdwatching, including brown pelicans, ospreys, and cormorants. Walking paths trace through the park’s meadow portion; it also hosts occasional live music.

Thunderbolt Shipwreck

Dive among the rusted remains of this former Navy ship and research vessel from the 1940s. Resting on the ocean floor just four miles from Key Colony in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, the Thunderbolt was intentionally sunk in 1986 as part of a mission to create artificial reefs. Now, with three decades of growth on it — and 120 feet of water above it — it’s become home to many fish as well as a favorite spot for divers.

Valhalla Sandbar

A nice island just a short boat ride from Key Colony Beach, this sandbar has become a popular place to wade, snorkel, and enjoy the gentle blue-green waters. The shallow saltwater draws not just humans looking to float but also a fascinating array of local sea life worth watching for.
