Always great at Rita's

Another great year at Rita's house! House is beautifully decorated, kitchen has everything we needed, great grill and the garage freezer and icemaker are fantastic. Sitting out back on the water is so relaxing, great boat space and fun fishing! Perfect spot for our family! Thanks again Rita and hope to be back next year!

Rita's Paradise

This unit had everything you are looking for during a boating trip in the keys. The owner has done a wonderful job with decorating the unit to provide that feel that reminds you that you are on vacation. This property is on a wide canal and has morning sun with afternoon shade. The parking situation offers a concrete pad but also shells so that you can get a 30 ft trailer and two to three cars in the driveway with no problem. The converted fourth bedroom offers a door to a small garage space with really nice appliances including a washer and dryer, a bait freezer, and an ice maker that made it so that we never needed to get ice for the boat trips that we went on every day. Beds were comfortable, kichen was stocked, AC kept it cool and the screened in porch has a super comfy couch. Rita's is paradise !!

Wonderful location and beautiful home

We had a wonderful stay for the week. The house was gorgeous and well maintained. The location was fantastic. It had a well equipped kitchen which I truly appreciated. We loved the outdoor space and spent great time outside on the screened porch playing cards and listening to music. It also had great outdoor space for sunning which was perfect for us sun lovers. The owner was quick to answer and questions and very friendly. We will definitely be back. We made lots of memories here this week.

Wonderful Stay at Rita's Paradise

Had a wonderful stay at Rita’s Paradise. The house was immaculate and all furnishings and rooms were top shelf in terms of condition and comfort. Our family felt right at home with fresh linens, towels, and ample basic supplies. The kitchen was very well equipped (I like to cook) and included many items that you typically don’t see at rentals. Brand New Weber grill and Tiki Hut were great. I brought my boat and was pleased with the well maintained, step-down dock, fish cleaning station and water/hose right at the dockside. A big plus was the icemaker and bait freezer. Rita’s Paradise even supplied 2 nice bikes, beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Beds were super comfortable and having 3 full baths was another plus. All bathrooms were nicely finished with updated fixtures and full tile bath/showers. AC was quiet and covered all the rooms at an even temp, lots of great lighting inside and out plus outlets galore and 2 desks for working remote or checking email – one in the den and one in the master bedroom. Wi-fi had no issued at all with 2-3 of us online working remote at the same time. Would certainly recommend this place to friends and family and hope to stay again in the future. Paul S.

Best home we’ve stayed in Key Colony!

Smooth check-in, clean, up to date home. Conveniently located in Marathon. This home provided quite a bit of space to spread out comfortably We Loved the screened in porch. We towed our boat and docked it right out back of the house. We definitely will rebook Rita’s Paradise again if it’s available!

Stay at GetAway House in Key Colony

The house is perfect for a family or a small group of friends (6 or so). The house is roomy and the outdoor area is very nice. There is a couple of nice bikes to ride and the grill was very nice. We played lots of pickleball and make lots of new friends while doing so. We took a day trip to Key West and also do the snokeling at Bahia Honda which is quite a bit cheaper than the commercial tours. All in all it was a great trip and the house was wonderful. Thanks Doyle

Better than Home

Rita's Paradise in Key Colony Beach was just that! The property is welcoming and beautiful. We instantly felt relaxed and in vacation mode! We loved the channel and patio and sat there every morning and night. The bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable. We had a personal bathroom per bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed. However we took advantage of the great restaurants in the area. The Cabana Beach club was great and I loved being able to step down to the Beach. We all truly had the vacation we needed. Thank you so much Rita! It was wonderful!

Play, Rest and Relaxing

Plenty of play, rest and relaxation. We fished, slept comfortably and relaxed at the cabana where we flipped between ocean, hot tub and pool. The kitchen was fully stocked with appropriate utensils. The only recommendation that I have is to change out the living room furniture. There is one couch and two small chairs. At the end of the day when we went in to watch movie or talk with friends the furniture was small and on the harder side. Other than that, we loved our visit. Thank you!

Wonderful Keys Trip!

Everything was perfect! There was plenty of space for all 7 of us. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock, while we relaxed under the shade of the tiki. The location is very convenient; it’s close to the boat ramp, waterways are wide, home is close to the Cabana Club pool, Publix, souvenir shops, restaurants and even a Tesla charger!!! The home was super clean and stocked with everything we needed for our week stay. We were very sad to leave, but will definitely be back!!!
