2 BED/2BATH OCEAN FRONT CANAL -- BRING YOUR BOAT OR RENT ONE!

If you've never heard of or been to what locals have classified as "The Gem of the Florida Keys," Key Colony Beach in Marathon Florida is your PERFECT RETREAT! Marathon is an island in the "middle keys," about 2.5 hours south of Miami, and 1 hour north of Key West. Key Colony Beach aka KCB is a peninsula type island attached to Marathon.

This community has everything needed for your trip to the keys!! The reason we love Marathon and Key Colony Beach is it IS the most family friendly destination in the Keys, with SO MANY activities for the entire family! And it's near EVERYTHING you may need to help enjoy your trip such as pharmacies, grocery, restaurants, bars, etc.
We also love this location because you can walk to the Cabana Club (private members only pool and beach and hot tub--AND YES YOUR RESERVATION INCLUDES DAILY USE OF THE CABANA CLUB!) which has a bar/cafe you can eat/drink/swim and sun at while meeting all the regular annual visitors, which is right next door to Havana Jacks Oceanside Restaurant and Bar. You can swim and sun in the fun all day and take a 30 second walk over to this family friendly restaurant in the evening or for happy hour while watching your kids snorkel at Cabana Club Beach!

Located on the Atlantic Ocean side, this EAST facing 1/2 duplex home gives you bright morning sunrises and happy hour in the shade!-- more desirable!
If the Gulf of Mexico waters are more your thing, or you prefer the calmer waters on windy days, VACA Cut (the cut-through under US-1 from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf you can take your boat through) is a 7 minute boat ride away!

Is Fishing or Diving or Snorkeling your thing? You're minutes away by boat from the BEST fishing destination in the entire United States! 20 miles to the Marathon Humps for Mahi and Tuna Fishing, a few miles from the coral reef for unlimited fishing, lobstering, snorkeling, spearfishing, diving on one of the most unique underwater destinations in the world! There's a bait and fuel shop right outside of Vaca Cut to pick up fuel, food, ice, and gear for your fishing trip minutes from the house. You can rent fishing gear here as well.
There's a bait freezer on property in a small storage closet for guest use.

Rent a boat (reach out to owner for recommendations), go on a charter for fishing or diving or snorkeling right around the corner from the property. Reach out if you need help, guidance, or even fishing spots! Most places in Marathon offer a "Hook and Cook" or "Catch and Cook" option when you bring your catch of the day to the table... Check out Lazy Days South Restaurant for a fantastic ocean view, excellent food, and cheap drinks, a locals favorite! Or reach out to the owner for more information!

Don't forget to check out Aquarium Adventures for a day of fun on dry land which is locally owned, the Sea Turtle Hospital down the street, or swimming with dolphins just a short drive up the keys! Don't forget to hit Robbie's in Islamorada to feed to tarpon!!! So much fun with the kids, and adult fun available to quench your beach thirst on a hot day!
