Great place to stay!

From check in to check out we had a great experience! The host was very responsive the entire stay. The home was beautiful and comfortable. Two of the rooms are connected where you have to walk to the back room through the middle room but to was never an issue for us! The kitchen had anything you might need and the ac was cold in the house! A plus for us was fans in the bedrooms! We love having fans! The outdoor living area was super nice to have. We enjoyed many evenings out under the tiki! We also were able to park our boat in the canal which was super convenient! You will love this home!

Clean and comfortable home in a great location

We enjoyed sitting by the canal and watching the pelicans. The cabana club was great, we enjoyed the beach and the pool. Key colony and Marathon key were both lovely, with plenty of wonderful restaurants. You do have to go through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom, which was an issue at times, but other than that it was a lovely home and we would definitely consider returning!

The perfect home away from home.

We stay at this property every year and would never stay anywhere else. We rent a boat that is in our "backyard" canal and the location is PERFECT. Marianela is so kind and generous and the house is absolutely picture perfect. We can't wait to go back every year.

Starfish house

We enjoyed our one week stay. The property was clean and in excellent condition. The property manager was very prompt in reacting to some minor problems that we encountered (dealing with supplies at the house) but nothing that was a significant problem. Overall we would stay again and probably will.

First Trip to the Keys at the Starfish

The Starfish House was a perfect size and layout for our family group. We had 5 adults and two young boys. Key Colony was a great location and we brought our own boat down to keep at the dock which was a huge convenience. The owners were beyond helpful and helped make our stay as hassle free as possible. The Cabana Club pool and beach were very convenient when the boys wanted to just play on a beach and jump in a pool. (TRY the fruit popsicles from the food bar!!!) The boys loved fishing off the dock first thing in the morning and last thing in the afternoon. Two huge manatees came by our last afternoon right up to the dock to say hi. Plenty of parking for two vehicles and a boat trailer. We are already planning when we can come back.

Excellent Birthday Week.

This was the second time that we have stayed at the Star Fish House this year. We now consider it our home away from home for our October vacations. The night kayaking was spectacular. We look forward to going back in 2016. Thank you Marianela for letting us enjoy your wonderful home.

This was our 2nd time staying here and we will be back. The house is well kept and in a great location. The views are beautiful and you are close to the Ocean and Gulf, while also in a very quiet canal. The owners are always amazing and truly loving sharing their paradise with others. I can't say enough about this place and the owners.

Great vacation home!!!

This was our first home away rental and we were very pleased with our choice the house was very roomy and the open floor plan made for a great family vacation, we had our boat and the location was excellent, a short 3-5 min ride puts you in the Vaca Cut with direct access to the Atlantic or the Gulf . The owner was very responsive to my questions and concerns both before and after our arrival. I would highly recommend the Marathon area, Key Colony and specifically the Starfish house to anyone planning a trip to the Keys

Beautiful House in Key Colony

We absolutely loved the starfish house. The decoration, theme and style was adorable. Super quick access to the ocean by boat. I would wake up early just to ru the boat out and watch the sunrise. The view out back was great for watching the sunset. Across the street was a great park for the kids to play at. We will definitely be looking to stay here again when we visit the keys.!

Perfect in every way

This is a beautiful house on a gorgeous canal. The place is immaculately maintained and decorated.Key Colony Village is one of the nicest areas of the keys. The beach club was an added bonus with a nice beach, pool and food/drinks. There are many activities and wonderful restaurants in that area. We traveled the rest of the keys during our stay and really found this area to be the one we liked best. The owners provided great customer service.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Mata

Hello there and WELCOME to our home away from home, The Starfish House... Very nice to meet you! My name is Jennifer! My husband Jeff and I have been in love with the Florida Keys for as long as we can remember. My passion revolves around water and helping keep our Oceans clean for generations to come. I have been doing business and vacationing in the Florida Keys for over 20 years. I can't remember a day I didn't enjoy the amazing laid back vibe and uniqueness of the Florida Keys. The Florida Keys is home to the only living coral reef barrier which is also one of the largest in the World, provides residents and visitors alike warm year-round temperatures, and scenic, over-water views everywhere you look. Jeff and I welcome you to enjoy our home and fall in love with The Starfish House and the beautiful Florida Keys! Look forward to having you as our guest!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! The Starfish house is walking distance from everything! We are up the street from the golf course, basketball, tennis and bocce ball court, as well as a playground for the little ones. Want to hear live music and have a drink at the bar? We are walking distance from the famous Havana Jacks! Want to take a scenic drive? We are centrally located in the middle of the Florida Keys just south of Marathon giving our guests convenient access to Marathon, Key West (approx. 1 hour drive) and Islamorada (approx. 30 min drive). There is something to to do for every age! To top it off we are located in the fishing capital of the world!!! The Starfish house is truly a dream boasting location and affordability in paradise.
