Highly recommend, would stay again
The house was great and had everything we needed. Perfect location in Key Colony Beach with short walking distance to the club and multiple restaurants/bars. We had plenty of space for our 30' boat at the dock and enough space in the driveway to park the truck and trailer. We used the launch at the KCB marina and it was large enough and deep enough for our boat with very easy access to the canal.

Overall great place for the cost
Overall we liked the duplex. Key Colony is great, having the cabana club is a huge plus. The unit was clean and overall pretty comfy. Great for a few days or a week stay with your pet. A few things kept me from giving it a 5 star rating: 1- to me a fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher. There is no dishwasher, washer or dryer in this unit. 2- The bed is not very comfortable and in such a huge room a king bed would fit easily. We put all the extra comforters under the fitted sheet for padding and the bed was tolerable. If you don't like hard beds and are driving bring a queen pillow top mattress pad if you have one. 3- The use of the dock requires you to walk by the back unit and we almost felt like we were trespassing as they were on the back screened porch as we had to walk by them. This unit is across the front of the home so you have no view. 4- the walls are pretty soundproof but the door in the kitchen (leads into the other unit) was not at all soundproof and if we were at the table we could hear every word they said, we could hear their tv etc.. not sure if a more soundproof door is available but just know sound will travel between kitchens. Bedroom was very quiet, which is more important. So for the cost, it's a good little unit for a 1 week stay with your pet. The lack of dishwasher, washer and dryer might make a longer stay less pleasant.

Nice spot
Nice quiet spot. Enjoyed having my coffee and fishing off the dock. Our section of the home faced the quiet street. A few short steps to the dock. One bedroom and bath was perfect and plenty of room. Pull out mattress was not very comfortable, but doable. Communication was great with the owners and they were helpful. Cabana club was enjoyable and a short walk from the house.

Thanks for your thoughts. Unfortunately, I don’t understand what you mean. Rebecca S. Was a very different renter than what we are use to. From the start- 1. She never responded to several communication attempts to confirm she has entry documents I sent her. I wasn’t until she was 30 minutes away in her car that she wanted to know how to get into home 2. We have a 1- animal pet policy and 45lbs max. Rebecca had 2- dogs and 1-80lbs 3. Cleaning person said she left a mess. Dog hair. 4. I looked at charges on site and there is no additional charges. I did not charge for extra cleaning.

Pros: House was clean and plenty of room for the 2 of us. Located an easy walk to Cabana Club and Havana Jacks. Plenty of room to park, nice street. Cons: no washer/dryer. We were in the front of the house, the renters in the back had access to the screened in porch. Only 2 wooden chairs for outdoors.

A Vacation to Remember
Curt was the most responsive and kind host during our two week stay. On the first day of our vacation my husband had a bicycle incident which required him to be taken by ambulance to a Miami hospital and undergo emergency surgery. Curt checked in on us. During our stay we experienced a plumbing problem and Curt had a company at our site within 10 minutes of our call to him. The place is very clean and has a wonderful location. Having the Cabana Club is also a great perk. Although we do not fish, having the canal was so nice to sit and enjoy our morning coffee while watching boaters pass by. We will be back again! Thank you Curt.

Perfect little cottage
A nice little place for a vacation in the Keys. I guess I hadn't realized that the front of the house was actually all sliding glass doors, but they were secure and the drapes made everything private so it was really no issue. The doc was nice and there was enough room for me and the couple renting the other half of the duplex to be out there at the same time. Great location and there's even an ocean view.

Thanks for your feedback- Sorry about not having view of the water from within the unit. However, we do not advertise water view in our AD. Just by walking 20 step form your door you will be on the dock of the canal. Information sheets given direct you to let us know during your 1st day if anything has been missed by the cleaning person. We would have corrected had we known.

Perfect affordable condo, central location for the keys.
We really enjoyed our stay at Key Colony Beach condo and enjoyed spending time at the Cabana Club almost everyday. The unit is spacious and well decorated. The only two things I would've liked would be a king size bed, the bedroom is plenty large for one, and some shade options on the back deck. We drove to key west twice and up north as well.

Wonderful location
We visited last week and we had a wonderful vacation. We absolutely loved the area and having the Cabana Club was really nice. We were also able to bring our dog, and it was hard to find a nice condo that allowed pets. The condo was clean and the owner was very responsive. The only complaint we had was that pull out sofa bed was not comfortable at all. It was so bad that we had to go buy a air mattress from Walgreens. Other than that, it was a great place to stay!

Loved Marathon! Great location on the island, near shopping and all the fun spots. Condo was very nice, had all we needed for my husband and I. We had a little issue but Curt was right on it and fixed the problem. Dock was nice for relaxing and fishing. Not there fault but there should be a law against jackhammers before 8am! People were very nice at the Cabana, nice pool, beach is alittle small but the water was beautiful. One thing is I wish they cleaned the beach of the seaweed, smells a bit, plus you have to move it before you put your chairs down. Overall a very nice experience.
