Retirement Get Away!

We stayed two weeks at the Keeper Cottage. The weather was absolutely wonderful! We ate breakfast and dinner every day on the screened in porch. Having easy access to the boat made it worth traveling from North Carolina. It was a perfect way to celebrate 42 years working and retiring. We will definitely book again!

Perfect location for beautiful sunsets and fun!

Our stay in Key Colony did not disappoint. This cottage was spacious and well appointed. Close to both ends of the Keys for day trips. Visited the dolphin research center. Wonderful work happening there ! The Cabana Club was a great bonus! Would highly recommend your stay here!

Amazing stay!

Our family of five (2 adults, 3 kids, 10 & under) had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed visiting the pool one day, beach another, and rented a boat for a few days. The kayak at the house was perfect to entertain kids up and down the canal. The house was super clean. If we needed anything, the property manager always responded pretty quickly. Great house, great place, and great family vacation.

Paradise found

This house was perfect for our group. A king size bed in both bedrooms was the key. So comfortable. The house was just the right size for 2 couples. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and small appliances. The screened in porch was perfect for breakfast. The seating area outside on the turf was the best. We were there to paddleboard and launched off the dock out back, very convenient with many places to explore. Sunset beach is right around the corner where everyone gathers for a sunset celebration. The only thing that we really would change is to have basic cable or directv. The only available TV was internet so we had no local channels or football. Also I fall asleep watching TV and that was a challenge when I went to bed trying to find something on the limited internet bedroom TV and the last night it would not even hook up to the internet, not a deal breaker because we were not there to watch TV but at night when you were winding down local channels would be nice. Overall the place is clean, comfortable and feels like home and it's in a great location, we will be returning .

A wonderful place for a family vacation!

This property was the perfect spot for our family vacation! The property was spotless when we arrived and had everything we could have needed. Gregg was great at promptly replying when we accidentally locked ourselves out and made our time a breeze. The location was ideal, right on the water, near the two beaches and almost everything was in walking distance. It was a beautiful property and the outdoor area was the perfect spot to make lots of memories! Thanks for providing a great spot for my family! We will absolutely be back!

A Week in The Keys

The house was spectacular to say the least & everything about it worked out well with our group. The dock was in great condition, which always eases your mind when you bring your boat along. The Cabana Club was a fun way to spend a few afternoons & the drinks were refreshing. KC is a great neighborhood for biking & walking, and the permanent neighbors were very friendly. We enjoyed the porch and the outside area everyday and cannot wait to book and do it again!

Very relaxing

Loved the location, easy access by boat to the bay and ocean side. We kayaked Duck Key and Curry Hammock St Park, enjoyed Sombrero beach. The house is only an hour by car from Key West or Islamorada. We loved the nightly neighborhood celebration watching the sunset at the park. Extremely clean and well equipped home. The only thing it could use are some new pillows and a cork screw. We really didn’t want to leave.

Awesome rental!

This was a great condo for our week in the Florida Keys. Everything was neat and clean, and ready for us to just step in and relax. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, as we had several of our meals in. We had family in the area, and it was very nice that they were able to spend evenings with us and we felt like we were entertaining in our own home! With all of the Florida Keys within a short drive, Marathon was central for whatever we chose to do. There are plenty of local restaurants and activities. Gregg was great to work with and was very accommodating for any requests we had. When we visit the area again, this will be the condo we choose.

Open air

This property provided the perfect open-air experience we were looking for. The turf in the back was the best to hang out on and the screened in porch was ideal for dinner and games. We enjoyed the location which was in walking distance to everything we wanted such as Inch Beach or to watch the sunset at the park. This house was very clean and set up with all the amenities to play and fish. It was perfect for our family.

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I stayed in this house for a week for our honeymoon. It was everything we could have wanted! The location was perfect, quiet neighborhood but close enough to everything we wanted. We loved being able to fish right out the back door, caught several throughout the week. Two wonderful bedrooms with comfortable beds and great air conditioning. I would not call this house three bedrooms, as the other bed is a pullout couch in the living room. Overall, very happy with our stay and would love to stay again.

Great Keys getaway

As a former VRBO owner, we pretty much know what to look for in a rental. But we were more than pleasantly surprised that the pictures were accurate, the house was spotless and very well equipped. Gregg, the manager, answered every question we had, including providing fishing rods for us to use. Key Colony Beach is a great location and we will certainly be back.
