Perfect Stay. Home was clean, had everything we needed. Pool was heated which worked out perfectly for the stay since we were here during the coldest week of the season. Nice wide windows off the kitchen to view the boats and kayaks traveling on the canal while eating inside. I enjoyed the kayaks that Helen provided as well. Helen has been so nice, communicated almost immediately with any questions. All in all a great place, great location, just a short walk to Sunset Beach to watch the sunset. We will be back!!

Spring break

This house was perfect for our family spring break vacation. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Our children especially loved the pool and fishing from the ledge. We visited Sunset Beach daily as it was only a few minutes walking from our house. We also enjoyed swimming in the large pool at the Cabana Club! We did a day trip to Key West and also rented a fishing charter. This amazing house and beautiful location let us create some lifelong memories with our family! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Wow! This was a great place to stay. Clean, spacious, everything we wanted. Helen was great to deal with, she checked on us when we arrived in Florida to make sure we made it to the house ok.

Our family LOVES the Key Colony Beach community and this property had absolutely everything we needed.We have a special needs daughter plus a rambunctious 7 year old boy that's full of energy. Finding a place that caters to both is difficult to find but this place checked all of the boxes.Everything was so well organized and taken care of. Absolutely zero complaints.We can't wait to come back.

Fantastic Stay

This is a lovely home and Helen was the best host we have had in all our years. We have been frequenting Marathon at least annually for 25+ years. In those years, we have had many very good hosts, but Helen's response to our questions was not only incredibly prompt but also very accommodating. The home had everything you need, was very comfortable including the beds and the canal is perfect for boating along with fishing. Perfect place and host. Thanks Helen for making our trip so enjoyable.

AWESOME!!

This was the easiest booking and check in ever! Helen was the perfect host. The place is located on a big canal. There was all kinds of big boats docked along the canal so I feel safe to say that any guest bringing a boat is good to go. We have a 28 ft boat, big trailer and big truck. First VRBO where there wasnt any issue with parking, plenty, plenty of space! The house is very spacious and well equiped. The pool and backyard is great! I will most definitely book this place again! I just wish I could put more people in the house because I'm bringing my whole family back this summer but I need space for 10 people this time. Thank you again Helen!!

Wonderful Stay!

This was a wonderful stay for our family of five (all adults). The house is exactly as advertised and supplied with all that we needed. We enjoyed swimming daily in the pool and caught plenty of fish in this great canal. A nice short walk to Sunset Park (even got to watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade for Key Colony Beach) and a quick hop over to the Cabana Club to enjoy another part of the community. Helen was very helpful anytime we had to reach out. We would love to stay here again for our time in the Keys!
