We visited for our honeymoon and it was perfect. The boat dock accommodated our fishing boat for the week, the host stayed in touch, the location was great, and we had everything we needed.
We absolutely love this property! We enjoyed the heated pool everyday. It was a clean and well maintained place. We would definitely rent again in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay the place was enjoyable & extremely comfortable .... The Host Luis was amazing and very accommodating we definitely will be coming back.
Thank you for sharing your slice of Paradise
This rental was perfect for our family of four. We came down for lobster mini season and the boat dockage was very convenient and a short ride to both the Atlantic and Gulf. The rental was clean, spacious and had everything we needed during our stay. Very comfortable and beautiful views. We can’t wait to come again!
This place was just as expected! Loved the location on the canal, used all the amenities and walked to great restaurants. Host was very easy to contact and extremely accommodating. Quiet neighborhood and very centrally located. Would stay here again if we visited the Keys.
Absolutely outstanding stay! This place had everything we needed to feel completely at home and we were impressed by how clean it was. Location was great & really convenient. The pool and deck is fenced in and private and using the heated pool over our stay was a real treat. The hosts were wonderful, kind & responsive which made the whole experience even better. Overall great, relaxing experience. We would return in a heartbeat!

What a perfect week at this beautiful paradise! They have gone above and beyond to be sure that everything that you need is included. The pool and furniture were very nice and we certainly enjoyed laying out by our private pool. We look forward to coming back again!
This home was the perfect getaway for our entire family! The heated pool was a fantastic bonus, giving the kids a place to swim when we weren’t at the beach, and we all enjoyed fishing on the canal. Its convenient location near everything you need in the Florida Keys made it an easy choice, and we’ll definitely be returning. Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful home – it’s fully equipped with everything you could need, and the owners were an absolute pleasure to work with!
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. The private pool was amazing. The kayak and paddleboards were a ton of fun. The covered patio was a great spot to sit and watch the thunderstorms roll by. The location was central to everything we wanted to do in the Keys. If you're looking for a Keys vacation but don't want the party central vibe that comes with Key West, then this is your spot.
We had a wonderful stay at this property! Very clean and comfy beds. Love the shampoos and detergents, make for less packing. Pool area is gorgeous with nice landscaping. We used the grill several times. Saw manatees the next canal over when we went for a walk. Can’t wait to go back!
Perfect spot for the two us, celebrating our Anniversary. Centralized for seeing all there is to see, but also so nice to just hang out at your home away from home, enjoying the private pool, dining on the patio, fishing from the dock, exquisite sunsets.....
Such accommodating hosts, all about making sure your stay is the best it can be...and it was!! We will be back!
We had a very nice stay in Paradise! The property was very clean and in good condition. The location was perfect for having a boat/fishing and close to several restraunts. Luis and Ayise communicated very well and were quick to respond to any concerns or issues we had. This is definitely a place we will use again. Thanks, Andrew
Everything was perfect for us!! Beautiful stay, pool, outstandingly clean, everything stocked in the house we needed, super privacy and most amazing of all, the ultimate responsive, kind and thoughtful contact with the host!
We WILL be back!

Great property on a dead end street in the beautiful community of Key Colony Beach ! Homeowner Luis was extremely helpful and communicative as we stayed at this property for an entire month . Beds very comfortable, all new appliances, and fantastic location to keep a boat on a very calm and well protected canal . They provided us with brand new magnifying mirror and light and 4 new cruising bicycles which were fantastic ! Highly recommend this property !!
This home is a great little gem of a place to stay. From the pool to the canal out back where we watched manatees and fished every day. The home it's self is layed out nicly with mostly new appliances. Will definitely be returning to this location. Thank you for allowing us to use your great place to celebrate my wife and her friends birthday's.
This is one of the best places to stay in Marathon. It's convenient to the grocery stores, and other areas, but is very private and comfortable. The dock names it nice for getting out to fish or dive, it's only a 10 minute cruise out to the open water. The check in and check out are easiest we've ever done, and the hosts have made sure everything you need is there from kitchen needs to extra towels for the beach or pool. Yes we will definitely stay here again. Thanks for a quiet home away from home to relax and unwind.
My friend and I enjoyed this property and it’s location very much. It was close to shopping and dining but yet private enough for quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed fishing at all hours of the day from our back porch to hopping in the kayak or on the paddle boards for an adventure around in the water. The private pool was definitely a bonus at the end of the day. This place had all that you would want or need while on vacation. I will definitely rent this place again when I return to the Keys!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The host was very accommodating and communicative. The house was very clean with all the amenities including cable, which was so nice as we were able to watch all of the football games. We saw manatees in the canal every day and caught a few fish from the dock! 10/10 would highly recommend :)
We had a wonderful vacation. The house was spotless. The manager was awesome. My daughter and I felt very safe. The location was perfect. We saw a manatee right off the pier. The kayaks, paddleboards, and bikes were a bonus. The manager went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. Highly recommend staying here.
This was a trip to find the sun and it was fantastic! Watching the birds and iguana on the canal and enjoying the pool while watching the sunset was food for the soul. The property was clean, the hosts were friendly & responsive. Great access by bike or foot for food @ many waterfront locations. Loved the state parks, nature centers and the restaurants.
Great trip!
Thank you for sharing your home!
