September-11 2022We were at 701 8th Street. I could not believe how well equipped (and clean) every part of the house was. The house was beautifully decorated and seemed more like a home than a business rental property, which in turn made everyone more comfortable. Everyone had a great time enjoying not only the house and pool, but walking the neighborhood and playing the local par 3 golf course. Truly made for a great vacation.

May-21 2023The house was beautiful, clean, with parking, in a quiet neighborhood, close to Marathon Key (shopping). The house has a very nice kitchen with dishes and utensils and all the amenities. Good times start at the pool, steps from the side door, outdoor grills, pizza oven, and picnic area. The bathrooms are very nice. The house is large so appropriate for gathering family or friends. I highly recommend this rental.

September-11 2022I stayed with a large group of friends recently. It was an awesome experience. Liz, the host, was very welcoming and provided help and assistance throughout our stay. The house is in a great location, with beaches and supermarkets only minutes away. Not to mention dozens of restaurants. The house has everything you could want for a vacation rental. It’s on a canal with ocean breezes. The house is huge with multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. The house is tastefully decorated and all the beds are King-sized. Add a pool, tiki bar, large gas grill, a smoker, and a pizza oven, it’s a paradise situation.

June-19 2022Beautiful home, perfect location The house and location are perfect for larger family or friend groups. Amazingly stocked!! You truly don’t need to bring anything extra. They have thought of everything for your convenience. The outdoor patios stay cool with multiple fans. We parked 5 cars in the driveway with our 2 boats docked in the back. Boat trailer parking for minimal fee on the same street. You can’t get any better than this to get out on the water and fish, snorkel, etc. House both inside and out was spotless. Extra linens, pillows, coffee makers, Kuerigs, so much in the kitchen that you won’t need to pack anything!! Teens even had a play room with a ping pong table. Plenty of chairs around the pool and shade from the palm trees. The construction next door had its moments but that’s out of anyone’s control. We still enjoyed the veranda and the breeze since it’s so close to open water. Liz and Captain Bob were excellent hosts. We are already planning our next stay in this house.

Comfortable beds, games for kids, heated pool. Several outside grills, refrig and commercial ice maker. Location is awesome! Short distance to ocean. I highly recommend renting their 27 ft catamaran.

Location: Key Colony Beach Rentals is right in the heart of the Florida Keys, so you're just a stone's throw from all the action and one hour away from Key West if you want to take a day trip. Think beautiful beaches, vibrant coral reefs, world-class fishing, and quirky little towns with shops, restaurants, and bars galore. Plus, you're away from the hustle and bustle of the main-drag overseas highway, so you can soak up the peace when you want.
Memories in the making: Vacation homes are like blank canvases for your island adventures. Host epic game nights, throw poolside barbecues or stargaze from the rooftop jacuzzi. You'll be creating memories that will have you giggling for years to come.
