This was a really nice property. Lots of space and room for our group. Even though some did not show up. There's a nice spacious dock, and while we did not bring a boat, That's the perfect spot to have one. You got to see a lot of people go by. Sunset Park right down the street was fun to go sit at a couple nights. Really close to Miami, but not so super crazy busy. We had a really good time and we'll definitely mark this property down for the future.

Kinda of a short notice fishing trip to the keys. 4 guys from E Central FL. Picked the Rita Casa for the beds and convenience to KCB offers. Although the Wind kept us close to shore most days. Kitchen is stocked, beds, screened patio and tiki hut. ** only 2 misses- which were the ice machine was inop and not many knives for chopping meat and veggies. Otherwise we were great and she texted us on arrival about issues.

Amazing Stay

The property was clean and even better than described. My kids loved fishing off the dock and walking a short distance to the beach. Cabana Club access was easy and a nice break from the ocean. The location was great and found lots to do near by. Check in/out process was easy.

Best home we’ve stayed in Key Colony!

Smooth check-in, clean, up to date home. Conveniently located in Marathon. This home provided quite a bit of space to spread out comfortably We Loved the screened in porch. We towed our boat and docked it right out back of the house. We definitely will rebook Rita’s Paradise again if it’s available!
