Location was excellent with easy access to the Cabana Club and Havana Jacks bar & grill. Only issues would be furniture in den could use an upgrade aspace

GREAT CENTRAL LOCATION
Early in the reservation process, learned Shore Thing did not have a tub (needed), we were offered the Great Escape which did have the tub. Nice sized unit on a canal, decorated nicely, but had no kitchen cabinet space for food products brought (cereal, snacks, etc.) along for the week. Bathrooms were clean and had the required tub, but were very small. Key Colony Beach is centrally located in Marathon, which is nearly the center of the Keys which is great for the adventurer who wants to get to all the Keys while enjoying beautiful sights and sounds.
We enjoyed our stay at shore thing house, really nice view at the back yard, enjoyed watching the pelicans. The house was equipped. With all needed to make meals and be comfortable. Located so close to everything, really nice to be able to walk to the beach and restaurants. We hope to return.
The property is in a great location relative to the cabana club and restaurants. 4th is quiet and doesn’t get a lot of traffic. The condo was great with a very nice outside space. Everything was cleaned very well. The kitchen is well stocked and a grill is an added bonus. We hope to be back soon
We stayed at shore thing for our first lobster mini season 2024. The location is perfectly situated on one of the first canals for Key Colony. Excellent proximity to the Cabana Club for swimming in the refreshing pool. dockage was perfect for our 25' bay boat with power and water for charging and cleaning. The backyard is a great little place to hang out under the tiki hut as well. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for preparing meals for a family of 4.
Beautiful little house that had everything we needed. Great place for our boat, on a canal, with easy access to the atlantic and gulf. We could fish in the canal, a great tiki hut with table and chairs and grill. We sat at this almost every night and had a private dinner on the water.
Beautifully decorated cottage with 2 bedrooms &1 & 1/2 bath with great dock for boat. On a deep salt water canal leading out to the Atlantic Ocean. Great kitchen, dining room, and huge den. Outside patio leading to a tiki hut with table & chairs on the water. BBQ grill, fish cleaning table ( on dock) .ENJOY
House was great. Perfect location and nice layout, kitchen, and living area. We especially enjoyed the tiki hut out back.
Only negative is the master bedroom didn’t have much closet or dresser space.
This is our third time to stay in Key Colony, the first at this property...and it's our favorite! Love this side of Key Colony, close to Cabana Club. Tiki hut was a great place to relax. Also loved the friendly manatee who visited us right off the dock. We travel with our furbaby, and we especially love properties that don't have a dog smell..and this one didn't. Yay!
Property was beautiful with plenty of room both inside and out! Boat docking right outside with wide channel and 4 minutes, by boat, to Atlantic! Marina and ramp great service! Hope to see you again soon!
We came down with friends to fish for the week. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place. The location was so convenient. The cabana club was so close and super fun.
Enjoyed the stay very much. The complex was very clean. Very nice southside tiki area to sit under in day wide dock area for the boat would definitely stay there again.

Difficulty with transmission of overly long rental agreement. The rental was well kept and clean. I was uncomfortable with the key code being sent only minutes before check in.
Loved everything about this place! Plenty of space for a family of 3, dock for boat and walking distance to Cabana Club. We wil definitely be booking again!
The place was just as described. Clean and location was excellent. Just literally steps to the Cabana Club which we enjoyed very much. Only one draw back. No ladder is provided to get in and out of your boat. When tide is low is extremely tricky. You almost have to jump down to your boat. My husband actually twisted his leg trying to get out but by end of week he was ok. That would be the only suggestion I have to make this place better.
We spent a week here, and everything went great! The pictures on the listing are spot on, and the house and yard spaces are very well maintained. It was so nice to be on a canal, nice and cool with the breeze and a beautiful view! Key Colony Beach is a great location as well, right in the middle of the Keys and super close to stores/restaurants in Marathon. We would definitely recommend staying here!
This location was perfect for our family of 4. Our favorite part of the home was the back yard area with a cute tiki hut and lounge chairs right along the canal. We enjoyed several meals sitting around the table under the hut and loved stargazing on the lounge chairs at night. The cabana club access basically right across the street was perfect as we spent many early evenings there with the kids when it was less crowded. I recommend bringing life jackets if you have kiddos still learning to swim since the home is right on the canal and the cabana club pool is > 3 feet in all areas.
Only notable con of our stay was the lack of closet space. I can tell the owners have done their best to accommodate hanging clothes but both rooms have a equipment in the closets (washer/dryer in one, water heater in other). Living out of our suitcases was a bit of an annoyance but much out weighed by the positives of this location! We would definitely stay again. Key Colony is truly a hidden gem of the keys.
