Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Vaca Key

Beautiful home located on a beautiful canal. We were able to see so much marine life including manatees. The house was spacious, clean and well located. If we ever get back to marathon we will definitely be looking up the twin palms to stay.

Although the place wasn’t ready when we arrived, Ryan was a great communicator! He addressed every issue we had (which were NOT within his control) and responded in a timely manner. He offered a fair solution and allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy paradise! I’d highly recommend and hope to be back sometime soon!

We loved our stay! The house was super clean and the back patio was beautiful. We loved the back canal area and saw lots of very cool wildlife and enjoyed fishing right there. Having the kayaks to use was also great. Beds were very comfy and the rooms were spacious. The house had everything we needed. We loved the key colony area. The cabana club was a great space and the house is in walking distance to Sunset Beach, which was beautiful. The whole area is super close to fun things to do and great restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a 5 star stay at Isabella’s Airbnb home! We had 10 guests and all had a place to sleep, place to sit and eat if we all wanted to sit together at the dining table and plenty of room there! We loved her home and our stay there!! Isabella remembered that we were there on vacation celebrating our mom’s 80th birthday and went out of her way to buy a key lime pie and balloon to have waiting for us/my mom when we arrived! That was very thoughtful and sweet of her!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!

We didn't know anything about Key Colony so based our reservation strictly on reviews and price. Well worth every penny that was spent. What a wonderful tropical getaway! Can't wait to visit the Keys again with my 4 children and husband. If you're looking for a great place to spread out and enjoy family this should be your rental.

We had a great time at this location. They had everything we needed and Key Colony is a perfect spot to vacation.

Great attached townhome/duplex with privacy fence between the other side. Great private pool just on the canal! The bottom story was perfect for extended family to have privacy but still be close! We even saw a manatee in the canal.

Very friendly and making sure you feel right at home! Checks in to see if everything’s going well, if there’s anything they can do or that you need! Great place and will definitely be back and staying again!!

Had a great stay here. Very nice and great location in the keys.

This holiday apartment is amazing. Beautifully decorated; the hosts have thought of everything to ensure you have a perfect holiday. It has everything you could need, and more. The balconies are a great place to relax and watch the wildlife. The resort is right by the sea, great pool and tennis facilities. Lots to do in the local area. Wish we could have stayed longer! The hosts directions and instructions were great, and they were really responsive. Thank you!

We had a great time in Tavernier area. Tina’s place was the perfect setup and the amenities were wonderful. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful condo.

lots to do. beautiful pool

We had a great stay at this two-bedroom unit! While it’s on the smaller side, it’s been beautifully remodeled with modern, clean, and tasteful decor. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the brand new pots and pans . The living room gets fantastic natural light, and the view from the balcony is great—perfect for enjoying sunsets. We also loved spending time at the pool and hot tub. The location is excellent, with a short walk to the waterfront, which was so peaceful and relaxing. The walls are on the thinner side, so we could hear kids running in the common areas at times, but it wasn’t a major issue. The host truly went above and beyond by shipping back items I accidentally left behind, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’d happily stay again!

Great communication, easy to get into. Clean apartment and comfortable beds. Loved the Hugh swimming pool and beach area. Lots to do in the area. “Theater of the sea,” was excellent. Many great restaurants in the area. Would definitely recommend this place and stay again.

Ana’s house was fantastic. Great location, close to everything Key Largo and the Keys have to offer. Super-clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend.

Danielle was an incredibly communicative & accommodating host, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and exactly as described—if not better. The outdoor space was absolutely beautiful and even more impressive than the photos. Our kids had an amazing time spending their days outsid whether it was fishing off the dock, kayaking, lounging in the sun, playing with the games thoughtfully packed in the closet, or swimming in the pool. The location is perfect close to great restaurants, shops, and excursions. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in the Keys, I highly recommend booking this place. We had the best time and can’t wait to come back! 😎🌴

We had a great time! Awesome community with walkable restaurants and bars. We loved the local beaches. The people at the complex were super nice. Our four boys loved running from the pool to the beach. Everyone we met was very nice. Great instructions and recommendations. Loved it!

Great view, easy check in, comfortable stay

Great experience, great host and accommodations. Hot tub wasn't working while we were there, but repair was delayed over the holiday week which was out of the hosts' control. Very communicative and responsive.

Nice, clean and quiet place. pool was nice. Nice view off the balcony is of the mangroves. Beach area is nice but pretty rocky once you get into the water.

We stayed here for a girls trip, it was the perfect size for us. The area was beautiful, quiet and relaxing. We did venture into Key West for a few days during our stay. The closest beach is about a 10-15 min drive from the condo. Numerous restaurants in the area, that provided ample choices.

Sandra’s place was beautiful and she was a wonderful host. She was proactive in giving us all the information we needed to settle in AND also providing wonderful recommendations to restaurants around the area (three of which we tried and thoroughly enjoyed). Very responsive to any questions we had regarding locations of certain items or locations. The place itself was very cozy and homey. Felt very comfortable relaxing there in such a serene environment. Will gladly take an opportunity to stay here again.

Great place for a family. The pool and beach were ideal for kids and the little tiki bar was great for us. The surroundings were lush. We would stay here again.

PERFECTION!!! I have so many great things to say about our stay. First, the condo was beautiful and fully stocked. It even had plenty of soap, toiletries, paper products etc to get you started. Yuni was the perfect host and answered all questions and gave clear instructions. The balcony was huge. It was enough for the family to eat and lounge all while enjoying the beach and pool views! Key Colony Beach is a charming community we walked to the sunset multiple nights. My kids aged 10,8,7 did not want to leave. The complex had very friendly retirees and a handful of families with kids. Everyone was super respectful and friendly. The pool was super clean and warm. The beach was groomed each night and the kid had plenty of room to play on the sand and hunt for shells and hermit crabs. Marathon is a great Key to stay on - close to lots of fun activities. We are already planning our next trip and we will definitely rent this condo again! It’s perfect for families!
