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!

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 .

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!

The house was exactly as listed. We loved being able to hop on our boat everyday from our own dock. We enjoyed riding the bikes to the Cabana Club for a dip in the pool. Nice neighborhood.

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!

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.

Marathon is a great place to stay on the keys in the middle of everything. This property was well equipped with all necessities and the back yard area was private and relaxing. Bed was comfortable and the place looked like the VRBO listing. Great stay.

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.

I can't say enough how cozy, clean and beautiful this house is. We will stay at this house again whenever we come back at Marathon.

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.

Great vacation house
House was perfect, very clean and well furnished. Location was great. We enjoyed all of the outdoor seating and screened in porch area. We rented kayaks and paddleboards to use in the canals. There is plenty of room to park your boat. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in the Keys.

Amazing, just what we needed
Property was perfect for our family! The dock is one of the best docks on the street. The backyard and screened in porch was AMAZING and we enjoyed it immensely. The island is perfect, and is the perfect spot for families. We will definatley be returning!
Only recommendation I would make for those who are staying on the island, is to rent enough bikes for everyone if you have more than two people coming. The kids loved riding them around and we wished we would have rented some more so we could have rode bikes together as a family around the island. Also, if you dont have a boat, rent/bring a kayak or a paddle board for exploring.

Excellent Getaway!
There were no recent reviews for the property so we were a little nervous walking in but the house looked exactly like the photos! It smelled clean and we were greeted with a bottle of hand sanitizer on the counter. Everything was represented 100% accurate.
Key Colony is a sleepy little beach town and exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed a few trips to Inch Beach, took a fishing charter with Captain Tadd (caught our limit of Mangrove Snapper in less than an hour so he took us to two different snorkeling spots!), and enjoyed some local restaurants.
We cooked dinner at home several nights and I have never been in a rental house as well equipped as this one! Pretty much everything we needed in a kitchen was there!
One minor issue was the power for the house...if the hot water heater, air conditioning and range were on at the same time then the main breaker would trip. We quickly figuredout the workaround...after we showered before dinner, we killed the hot water heater breaker so we could cook, then after dinner we turned the hot water heater back on. A little creative power management made the small inconvenience a non-issue.
We loved this house and our first Keys experience and look forward to returning soon!
