We had a great time in KCB. The house was as advertised and while small, it feels much bigger due to the great screen porch and pool area. Dock was perfect for our boat and the location gets you into the Gulf or Atlantic quickly. Would definitely recommend.
Would return to this property. Improvements, more thural property inspection - outside pool lights were not working, two bedroom light bulbs needed replacing, TV remote needed charging before accessing TV and finally water had to be added to the pool before the pool heater would work.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed the home and pool very much. Cozy and comfy. We spent a great deal of our time in the furnished screened in porch and listened to the stereo Bluetooth speakers. Loved it.Minor issues are the throw rugs in the kitchen are in desperate need of replacing. The toilet in the main bath is not functioning properly, and the automatic watering system slams on the front windows early in the morning. The screened porch needs attention to cleaning. Placemats out there are rotten.

Private, comfortable place. The pool was wonderful. The beds were comfy. Loved the lights out back. Used the screen porch most of the time. We always go to Key Colony Inn on our first night to celebrate. Only suggestion is to maybe put in underwater lights to watch the fish.
This is our 3rd year at Key Colony Beach, first at this unit. Highly recommend and we’ve already requested a week next year! The house is well appointed, kitchen is well stocked, ample storage space, clean, and the porch and pool were beyond our expectation. The owners truly thought of everything! Can’t wait to come back!

Everything we needed to have a fantastic vacation was there. We really enjoyed the pool and relaxing and having dinners on the enclosed patio. The owners were kind, responsive and accommodating. Overall, it’s been a great experience. We’ve stayed here three times.

The perfect short stroll from kitchen through beautiful and large screened porch to the peaceful pool. House is great for 4-6 people, spent most of our time around the pool and fishing off the boat dock. Great neighborhood and close to everything. Have rented many houses over the years but this one was just right.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved this house. The layout was excellent, the construction was solid and almost everything in the house was high quality. The pool was wonderful and we used the screen porch often during the day and for dinner. The setting, with palm trees and well-manicured lawn, contributed to the relaxed atmosphere and was much different than most of the houses on the same street. The dock space was adequate for the 22-foot boat we rented for the week. The neighborhood was very quiet yet we were a 3-minute drive from Marathon's main drag. Lots of good restaurants within a short drive. (Hint: Don't believe the mixed reviews for El Molcajete, the Mexican restaurant in Key Colony Beach. We loved their tostadas al pastor, churrasco, chicken mole and tres leches cake). The lagoon is in an excellent location; it took us less than 5 minutes to get to the bay via Vaca Cut or to the open ocean in the other direction. It's about 30 minute boat ride to Sombrero reef, one of the best reefs for snorkeling in the Keys. There are also a few sand bars 20 minutes by boat for floating and lazing in the beautiful turquoise water of the ocean.The only negative about this house is that the mattress in the master bedroom has a major sag on one side. This made it difficult for me to sleep. I also had back pain in the morning if I didn't move to another bedroom in the middle of the night. I noticed that another reviewer also commented on this. This is an easy fix. This is the only thing that keeps me from giving this house 5 stars on all categories.

WE HAD AN EXTREMELY HORRIBLE TWO WEEK VACATION FOR MY 65TH BIRTHDAY!! FIRST OF ALL THERE WERE ABOUT FIVE LOADS OF TOWELS AND BED LINENS STUFFED INTO DRYER. WE PURCHASED TOWELS BEFORE WE REALIZED THEY WERE IN THE LAUNDRY. WOODEN DINING ROOM TABLE CHAIRS WERE NOT CLEANED AS EVIDENCED BY THE WOOD BORING BEETLE EXCREMENT ALL OVER THE SEATS. WOOD TABLE IS INFESTED. NEVER CLEANED. WAS FORCED TO ENDURE TWO WEEKS OF CONCRETE JACK HAMMERING RIGHT NEXT DOOR THAT STARTED WELL BEFORE WE ARRIVED!!!! NO WARNING WHATSOEVER!!!! COULD NOT ENJOY THE POOL.COULD NOT ENJOY THE REAR SCREENED PORCH.COULD NOT SIT OUTSIDE TO READ A BOOK.COULD NOT SPEAK ON THE PHONE OUTSIDE.NO RELAXING NAPS NAPS IN PARADISE IN THE AFTERNOONS.JACK HAMMERING CONCRETE ON BEDROOM SIDE OF HOUSE.WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED!!!!WE SPENT WELL OVER TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE TORTURED. THERE IS NO WAY THE RENTAL COMPANY DID NOT KNOE THIS WAS GOING ON AS IT IS ONLY A COUPLE OF STREETS FROM THIER OFFICE AND CLEARLY BEGAN WELL BEFORE WE ARRIVED! ALL THESE FOLKS CARE ABOUT IS GETTING YOUR MONEY. WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE FIRST DAY BUT THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION.BE SURE TO ASK IF THERE IS CONSTRUCTION GOING ON NEXT DOOR TO ANY PLACE YOU RENT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE!!!!!! THEY WILL NOT VOLUNTARILY TELL YOU. ONCE YOU'RE THERE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!

Loved our rental. We lived in the enclosed porch listening to music on the Bluetooth stereo speakers and lavished in the lovely heated pool. Went home totally relaxed.
Great house had everything you could want. Location was convenient to everything in Marathon. Management company was easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!
We had a wonderful time staying on this property! We enjoyed swimming in the pool, fishing from the dock, and relaxing in the screened in porch. We even saw a manatee! The property was exactly as advertised and we will definitely be back!
My mom, my sister and I needed time away together. My dad passed away last year and he had said when he and I beat cancer we would do a trip to the keys because he had never been and I go frequently. We decided to go for his first birthday in heaven. It was a very therapeutic trip and this location was perfect. So calming and relaxing. We spent a lot of our time just hanging out at the house by the pool or in the beautiful screened in lanai! I definitely am keeping this house on my to return list!
Our week long stay at this cozy cottage was amazing! The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for the week. We brought our boat with us and there was a public boat ramp just across the street from us that made it so easy to launch it and tie up to the house for the week. The area is very close to Vacay pass, which made for easy access to the Gulf or Atlantic waters. Pool was nice and outdoor area was beautifully maintained. We enjoyed walking down to Sunset Point to take in the beautiful sunsets. I would book this property again!

Reviewer Comments:
The house was fine. Areas that we liked were the screened in porch, pool and the laundry room ( odd I know).The beds and sheets are awful. The master bed is probably the worst bed I have ever slept in. The sheets do not stay on the bed at all and the mattress is very uncomfortable . My son slept in the other king and said it was fine. The outdoor area has no lighting at night. It would have been nice to sit outside after it got dark. Really no charm or ambiance at night because the outside becomes completely unusable with the lack of lighting. The dock area is nice. The low rating is simply because the master bed and bedding are so bad.
