This is a fisherman's dream rental. 3/2 half duplex in Key Colony Beach. By water 5 min. to the Atlantic and 15 min. to the Gulf thru Vaca Cut. Located on 5th Street with dockage out back on a blue water canal and room for your boat trailer. Have you ever wanted your own private beach? You'll have it here with Cabana Club. You'll have access to the pool, hot tub, bar, snack bar and the private beach with an amazing view. We installed an oversized A/C unit to keep you cool. You'll love the open kitchen/dining area and a spacious living room. Queen sized bedroom sets, 42" smart TV's and alarm clocks with usb charging ports in all three bedrooms. New couches in the living room.. 55" smart tv in the living room to watch all you favorite shows, movies or play your favorite games. House is equipped with high speed internet and wi-fi. Tired of spending money on ice everyday? We provide an extra chest freezer and use a local guide trick by making our own block ice to fill our coolers and add water to make a freezing cold bath for your catch or drinks. We also use this freezer to freeze our fresh catch. Local guide trick, fill your bags with the fillets and salt water then freeze. This stops freezer burn. We've also had the pleasure of returning from the grocery store and realized that there is only enough room in the refrigerator for food and no room for the beer or drinks. I mean it's only 1000 degrees out and you need cold drinks. Problem solved. We added a second refrigerator for just beer and drinks. The house is equipped with a gas and charcoal grill, fish cleaning station, 2 kayaks and life jackets. City of Key Colony requires a signed rental agreement for guests stay. We will send out a link prior to check in for electronic signature of the rental agreement.
This was a wonderful stay and wonderful location. We had great contact with everyone. The rooms were a nice size. The beds were very comfortable and room to enjoy a nice family dinner.
fun family trip to the keys. Everything about the home worked as advertised and there was great communication with the management and owner when we had some small issues come up.
Would stay here again :)
The duplex sits in the beautiful Key Colony community. We have done several VRBOs in San Diego, this was or first in the Keys and we without a doubt will be returning! This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom is just what we were looking for! Although it was lacking in some of the luxury items, and did not have black out curtains like others had mentioned, it did have access to full time fishing and boating! The property was a short walk from the community club which was a huge bonus in the evenings, and near the boat rental facility. We have 4 children, ages 8-12 who absolutely loved this location (fishing, kayaking, the beach).
The property, older, but well kept and very clean. The kitchen included just about everything you would need on your trip (extra drink fridge AND deep freezer for your daily catch). The one thing I would say, the pots and pans set was by far the nicest of any rental we have stayed at!
The washer and dryer was an added bonus, just be sure to bring your detergent.
The neighborhood is extremely friendly, with lots of families walking mornings and evenings, the property owner next door came in for the week we there and was the absolute best! He shared some great local spots with us and even treated our family with sharing some of his daily catch!
If you havent figured out your stay in the keys and are looking for a no frills, but really nice stay.. this is your place! 100% will return!
Thank you for the AMAZING week at your beautiful property!
1. Over size AC causes more humidity , so uncomfortable and the humidity broke automatic lock. Iâve been a AC contractor for 32 years and could talk a lot about this but just know oversizing your AC is worse than undersizing it.
2. Barbecue grill is horrible cheap next grill thatâs rusted out. Also there was no gas and no spare tank.
3. No 110v outlet at dock or outside unless you have a special 3 prong 110v outlet . Had to run power inside to charge batteries on boat.
4. We had termites invade the house while we were there. Made all of us very uncomfortable they were everywhere.
5. None of the TVâs in the bedrooms would work. The remotes were bad or broke and may have needed batteries.
6. The hose on the side of the house needs replacing
7. The shower curtains kept falling in both bathroom cheap $5 rods that donât work on smooth surfaces. Been going on for a while because the cleaning lady knew about it. She also knew about the termites sheâs been cleaning them up. I guess this owner just refuses to spend a dime to keep this place updated.
It was the worst place Iâve ever stayed. It wouldnât take much to fix these things. I donât get why they wouldnât take care of these things.
The property and house were exactly as described. The owners were very accommodating at check in. The canal behind the house was easy to access by boat. Would recommend bringing bumpers for your boat just because there were only a couple at the dock. It wasnât a problem for us since we had some of our own too, but thought it would be a helpful tip for others to know!
We enjoyed the convenience of the property. The property was clean and had everything we needed. Communication with the property management team was easy and quick response. Overall, I recommend this vacation renal.
We had such a good time in this home and surrounding area. The location was great and was easily accessible. There were lots of fun and delicious local restaurants. The home was exactly as expected and was just what we wanted. We would stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful vacation experience.
