Keys Fun with manatee sighting almost daily!
This was my 1st stay in Key Colony Beach and the rental description was very accurate, very clean and very comfortable for a mature (not so young) couple. We had everything we needed in the house and more. The internet was great and my husband worked some remotely while I explored parks near by. The pool area is completed fenced in so my dogs could be out chasing lizards for fun while I enjoyed the pool and husband cooked on the gas grill. Since its located on a canal, we rented a boat for a few days and kept it right behind the rental in the canal. There were manatees visiting almost daily and I was able to give them a drink of fresh water from the fish cleaning station.
The location was a little more than a stones throw from 2 good bar/eateries. I LOVE Sparky's smoked fish dip.
The wind made it very pleasant for sitting outside by canal in morning and by pool in afternoon.
I took a snorkling trip to Sombrero reef. It was great with calm seas and great visibility, Highly recommend.
There are 2 paddle boards and I went out a couple of times but be aware it wasn't easy to launch and retrieve as there wasn't a leash on the boards. I rigged my own with a bungee cord and managed alone and Im in my late 50's so its doable. I also rode one of the bikes a few times and it was in good condition.
The hosts communication was great as well! I look forward to returning next spring!
