Holiday rentals with a patio in Vaca Key

We had a great time staying at this property. We liked it because it is very easy to get to, has it's own beach, and has plenty of room for a family. Key Colony is a real gem IMHO. We wanted a property that put us in a central location in the keys - 45 minutes to Islamadora, a little over an hournl from Key West, but in a place that is great for snorkeling and water activities. This place fits that perfectly. The property is easy to check into to, Yuni give a code in advance for the door. Parking is under the building in the shade (big plus) and right in front of the elevator. Super convenient! The kitchen is nice, we cooked meals on probably 3 nights. Beds were comfortable and there is a washer/dryer that is really nice to have on vacation. Great host for sure. If in the keys again I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again as it was a very positive experience.

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!

Rhonda's place is terrific! Lovely location with full water views. Pool was excellent. The home was very comfortable, clean and convenient to restaurants and stores. Would definitely rent 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.

Don't underestimate the HUGE benefit of having unlimited access to the Cabana Club! This is a big perk with a private beach, pool and snacks. Really nice on days that you want to just chill with your family and relax. The house itself if amazing inside and has a great spot on the canal. Perfect if you want to rent a local boat or bring your own. The location is walkable to several parks and there are walking paths around the area. Farmers market and several restaurants are walkable. Really nice location! The process and the host were top notch. We are very picky about our rentals and we were impressed from start to finish...we will stay here again!

We had a lovely time at Cassandra’s place. It was comfy, cozy, peaceful and private. Awesome view from the balcony. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great when we were there so we didn’t get to check out the pool which looked great. It was nice that there were outdoor games below the building so we could still play even when it was raining. Good location with plenty to do around the area. If you need a rainy day activity, there is a duck bowling place located 6 minutes away by the Winn Dixie with an awesome tap wall. Wish we could have had better weather but we will definitely be back one day.

Indira’s place was very clean and so relaxing for our family. We liked watching fishing boats come and go while sitting in patio. Marathon is a great place to visit with so many family friendly parks and attractions nearby. I recommend it.

We enjoyed a week at this place. Everything was perfect. The view was excellent and it was very quiet. The place was very clean and I was surprisingly happy with the amenities. The community pool was well kept. I will be recommending this place to family and friends.

Everything was excellent. Only complaint would be the bicycles. One bike was usable but the seat was loose and we didn’t have tools to fix it. The other adult bike’s chain was rusted so bad it wasn’t usable. We still had an excellent experience.

This was the perfect house and location for a vacation in the Florida Keys. I cannot say enough great things about the fabulous house, especially the amazing outdoor space. It was set up very nicely for relaxing and entertaining outdoors. The pool was fantastic and we had manatees come up in the canal, which was amazing. Had a wonderful outdoor cooking space and lots of designated seating areas. Loved the screened in dining area up on the deck as well. This location was so close to fantastic restaurants and shopping, and I lay an hour to Key West. We rented a boat that we kept right in front of the house in the canal and could hop on it and go right out into the Gulf which was great for fishing! Everything was clean and just as described, we would definitely stay here again! ❤️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We loved our stay at Jeffery's house. It is spacious and very comfortable. My husband appreciated the proximity to the pickleball courts - we could see them from our bedroom windows- and my son enjoyed fishing off the dock. The upper suite was wonderful for privacy and quiet when the older kids stayed up later than the adults. Jeffery was super helpful and responsive. We would love to stay here again!

Walking distance to stores & the beach. My family loved using the bikes. There are only three, not four as listed, but our family made do. We enjoyed the pool and watching the manatees in the canal. Definitely a wonderful place to stay!

This spot was great! The home is spacious, incredibly comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. It’s located at the very end of an inlet, offering a waterfront setting but I wouldn't call it picturesque. While we didn’t have a boat, it looked like getting one in and out would be easy for an experienced boater. The house was spotless—you can tell a lot of care goes into keeping it clean. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, with soft sheets that made for a great night’s sleep. Everything related to rest and relaxation was truly top-notch. The home is well-stocked with basic necessities for living, though if you have specific cooking preferences or comfort items, you should make a quick trip to the store. The neighborhood is very quiet, with the exception of some occasional noise from the nearby airport—but that’s just part of being in Marathon. Parking was easy, the pool was great, and everything matched the description perfectly. We highly recommend

Our family of four stayed for a week in mid April and had a great time. Karen’s place was convenient to access all of our activities. We fished, went snorkeling, and visited pigeon Key. Lots of good restaurant options within just a few miles. We would definitely stay there again.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic vacation rental, and it exceeded all our expectations! The house was comfortable, spacious, and perfectly equipped for a peaceful and relaxing stay. One of the highlights was the location—just a short and scenic walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sound of the waves and the coastal vibe. We were also treated to the most beautiful sunrises each morning, a sight that truly made the experience unforgettable. The home was spotlessly clean, with thoughtful details that made us feel at ease. And Sheri, the host, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring every part of our stay was smooth and enjoyable. Her kindness added an individualized touch to the experience. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway with stunning views, a cozy atmosphere, and a host who genuinely cares, this place is absolutely worth considering!

What a great week we had at this wonderful getaway! We got to watch the manatees off the dock. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful with idea of what to do in the area. We rode our rented bikes down to sunset park every evening to watch the sunset. We also found a great state park/beach just a 20 min bike ride away! The house had everything for us to use for our morning trips to the beach (coolers towels beach chairs). The house had outdoor furniture we sat at to watch the Key Colony Christmas boat parade! We will definitely be going back next year!

We loved our stay at the Dapper Dolphin! The space was so clean. Kate has everything there for you - from beach chairs to laundry detergent! This apartment is conveniently located to great restaurants, attractions and Sombrero Beach. You are just a short walk to the pool at Skipjack Resort. They have poolside karaoke on Monday nights which was very fun. Highly recommend booking this place - we miss it already!

Angela’s space was neat, clean and well stocked. When we had questions, she answered immediately. When we couldn’t find a can opener she quickly brought us a new one and even included a sweet treat! We couldn’t be happier with our stay. Thanks Angela!!

We had a great stay! Exactly as pictured. Kitchen was fully stocked, lots of extra blankets, pillows, towels, & even beach towels. Great location and walkable to restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, ping pong tables, & shuffle board. Great location to travel to other keys & plenty to do on Marathon. Loved our 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.

Great place to stay in the Keys!!

Place was so comfortable and cozy and clean! Great view and right near everything you need to get to. The host was so responsive and welcoming. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful townhouse!! Very clean and lots of room with both bedrooms having their own private balconies also a screened in patio that walked out from the french sliding doors in the living room. Not to mention the beautiful blue ocean right out the back door. 10/10 highly recommend this property Great hosts and a great home!!! Would definitely stay here again Thank you!!

This has been one of our favorite places in Marathon that we have stayed at. The view from balcony was beautiful, very clean and everything you need for your stay. The pool was amazing and a walk on the dock in the evening was full of sights! Overall we loved our stay and we will be back!!!
