Relaxing Keys Getaway

We had an excellent stay at the Half Duplex. We visit the Keys about every other year and this place was perfect for my husband, myself and our friend. Key Colony is a great location and the house was just what we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the kayaks as well as the bikes. The Sunrises from the dock or the porch every morning were simply amazing. The host was great to work with and quick to answer questions.

Relaxing Water Views!

We had a relaxing week in KCB with beautiful water views. The back porch is a comfortable place to watch the sun come up with a cup of coffee, and it was great to have beach chairs and kayaks available for use. The location was perfect for exploring the Keys from Islamorada to Key West; nothing was a far drive. The bedrooms and baths have been nicely updated and we found the king bed to be very comfortable. Melissa checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and was quick to respond to our questions.

Birthday/Mini-vaca

House was as just like the pictures. Centrally located to a lot of fun activities. House was nicely stocked with fresh linens and towels and all kitchen appliances worked fine. We all had a great stay. The only negative was that the dock lights turned off when the chest freezer was plugged in/turned on due to some sort of electrical issue.

New favorite stay in the keys

We felt so at home staying at this rental. The place was spotless and Melissa was such an attentive host. Honestly, it was more like communicating with a friend. We loved the proximity to Curry Hammock State Park and the more natural Keys vibe while still being a short drive from Key West. We cannot wait to stay again. One of our favorite things was sitting on the dock and sipping a cold drink. Lots of memories were made and Melissa’s home was at the heart of those experiences.

Amazing stay in KCB - 2023

What an amazing 3mos. in KCB. Our rental was perfect! It had everything we needed! From comfortable beds/linens, a tv in every room, full size washer/dryer, bait freezer, kayaks and bikes to cruise to the Cabana Club pool! It was clean and comfortable and the “walk-thru” floor plan was no problem with guests! Since it’s warm FL weather, we just went out and around. We loved the screened in porch for coffee or cocktails where our water view was amazing! We loved waking up to a gorgeous sunrise every morning and then sunset at the KCB Sunset Park was filled with neighbors and friends with live music on Sundays. The Key Colony Inn has the best happy hour every day from 3-5 with the most delicious $5 menu and espresso martinis! All of our guests loved the place and had a great stay with us in KCB. Melissa was so accommodating and extremely pleasant and nice that we’re booked for next year and are already looking forward to going back! Thank you, Melissa!!

Blue Water Getaway

This house was a great find. Great sunrises, fishing from dock (caught 4 tarpon!), easy boat dockage, and close to reefs!!! Enjoyed every minute in this clean, comfortable house. Breezes kept bugs away while fishing from dock. Light under dock made it great to fish and watch the fish at night. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location

We stayed for a week to celebrate our daughter and her friend's graduation. This was the perfect middle of the Keys location. We visited Key Largo to do a snorkeling excursion, just a little over an hour drive. We also drove down to Key West twice to explore that wonderful town, also a little over an hour drive. The kayaks at the condo were perfect. Grill was great. Sitting out on the dock at night was a nice ending to each day.

Beautiful, Beachy vacay!!!

This is such a wonderful spot if you are either renting or bringing down a boat. There is tropical boat rentals right next to this home which makes it very easy. The duplex is very clean and cozy. The beds were amazing after a long day of fishing and boating. The kitchen is fully stocked which is very important as we cook a lot at home. There is no grass except for neighbors, which they were so great to let our pets go as long as you clean up after yourself. There is a dog park 6 minutes away. Great for a family of 4. The key colony club pool, private beach access, bar and restaurant was a nice little hangout.
