Kid-friendly vacation 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.

We really enjoyed our week at Gulf Coast Oasis! The house was lovely, well-stocked, and great for our family of 5. We very VERY much enjoyed the pool and appreciated being able to heat it. Loved using the bikes and kayaks. Ate on the screened in porch. Madelyn was very helpful and responsive both in advance of and during our trip. Great stay! The only "negative" was the noise from the nearby airport -- not disruptive but worth noting.

Key Colony Beach is truly the gem of the Florida Keys. Staying at Cindy's apartment in the Continental was the perfect fit for my husband and I. The private beach was clean, easy to access, and just steps from the accommodation. The overall vibe here was quiet and peaceful, and the apartment had all the amenities we needed for a 5-day stay. Cindy's space is very clean and well-appointed. This location is perfect for morning walks around the immaculate and safe neighborhood, or short jaunts to Key Colony Inn or Havana Jack's for dinner/drinks. Honestly now, you're already here! What's your hurry? :)

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.

We had a fabulous stay at Michael’s place. It was beautifully decorated with a coastal, relaxing feel. We enjoyed the pool and beach area and all of the amenities the community had to offer. Michael was responsive and helpful. We would highly recommend for your Keys getaway!

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.

This little studio apartment in big pine is PERFECT for a couple for a few days or week. We loved the big windows on 3 sides, with a great view of sunset & the marsh. We also loved the private and spacious balcony that has a view of sunrise. It is very peaceful and quiet, with the deer coming by every morning and evening. There is no kitchen (which was fine with us) but there is a coffee pot and 2 mugs. The bathroom is roomy for a studio and has closet space available. The sunset view from this place honestly was my favorite part of our trip. I would stay here again if I traveled to the keys in the future.

Ana was great. The place was exactly as described. Had a wonderful time and would stay here again!

This is a beautiful ocean-front condo!! It is equipped with everything needed to spend a week or many weeks. The view is incredible, the beach is very nice and walkable. It is quiet, relaxing and the pool is at least 85 in January!! Enjoyed our week very much and hope to come back for a few weeks next time!!

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

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!

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.

The condo was well equipped and in a quiet spot. We loved the beach and didn’t have problems finding chairs. It’s not a huge beach so it wasn’t noisy or crowded. The pool is also very nice! There are beach towels, rafts and sand toys in the unit which was great. There is an area under the building with ping pong, a mini pool table and other games too. We have older kids but would’ve loved to have found this place when they were little. It’s perfect for young families with the pool and small beach. We definitely had a chance to unwind during our stay. Desy was super responsive to my questions and messages.

Loved the Condo. Very nice new restaurant just a couple of blocks down the street. A very good restaurant next door. Yolanda was great about recommendations and helpful when we needed help. It would have been nice to have a washer and dryer as we were there for a week. Thanks, Yolanda!

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.
