Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Vaca Key

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 our third trip to the keys and first time going with our children (7 and 10). Our previous stays were in Key West and Hawks Cay, but staying in Islamorada was by far our favorite spot to be... especially with children. The rental itself had everything we could need and the location simply can't be beat. We found ourselves exploring the keys every day and then relaxing on our deck above the brewery every night with great live music and beer! They even had bingo one night which was an unexpected surprise that our kids absolutely loved. Some of the amenities we really enjoyed having were the included bikes, beach chairs/umbrella/towels, and of course having a full kitchen to feed everyone with when we didn't feel like going out.

We will be back! We loved it! Clean, comfortable with lots of room. We loved being able to keep our boat behind the house and the trailer in the driveway. We loved walking around Keys Colony. The Cabana Club and Sparkys Restaurant were both within walking distance. The kitchen had every gadget you could imagine. The dining table was perfect for dinners and card playing. The beds were comfy. No allergies whatsoever! Thank you so much!!

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!

stayed for 4 weeks, great when two couples are traveling together quiet location, near great restaurants, very clean, lots of toys to use very ell priced for area

This was an awesome home for our family of 4 + dog. We felt right at home for the week! The pool was perfectly warm, and the kids had so much fun playing by the dock. We rented a pontoon boat and were able to dock it easily. Honestly, we hardly used the other amenities in the home because the weather was so nice, but if it rained we probably would have loved the game room too! Overall this was a great home for our family. The neighborhood isn’t super walkable, but the grocery store was just down a little footpath, allowing us to walk to get groceries as needed. Loved this!

The house was really nice, clean and a real home away from home. It accommodated my family of 5 with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. It was located on a canal where we were able to enjoy the manatees and pelicans. It was centrally located and only a short distance from the beaches, snorkeling, wind surfing and excellent restaurants. We will definitely stay again if we visit the keys

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.

I will look to stay here again when we return to fish or do any visiting. Having a private dock, Great! Pool, Great! Fishing, Great! Animals allowed, Great! Sunrises, Great! ......

We booked this home last minute and now have our go-to vacation spot in Marathon! Alida is a friendly host with great communication. The home is very clean. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc. The kayaks and paddle board made our vacation even more special! The steet is very quiet and peaceful. The setting in the back yard is very private, as is the long dock. We had a 23' rental boat for our stay. The view is amazing and the sunsets are a special treat each evening. I very much appreciated the ample, comfortable seating everywhere - inside and outside of the home. Thank you Alida. We made great family memories here!

Greg's place was amazing! I loved being outside, sitting by the water, and looking out at the beautiful view. It is very quiet and peaceful, you feel like you are the only people around. We loved looking for sealife from the dock, and watching the boats go by the canal. The living room was comfortable and clean, and made a cozy place to enjoy the evenings. It was especially nice to have both bedrooms with their own ensuite bathrooms, and suited our two couples perfectly. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This was the perfect space for our family of seven. Cleanliness and all the creature comforts were fully up to our expectations. The interactions we had with Dennis were quick, attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!

This place had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation prior to the crazy Holiday season. we only had 6 people but it would easily accommodate more. Monica was responsive to any questions or concerns. The location was perfect. Easy access to sombrero Beach and Marathon amenities: bars, restaurants, and activities. we were able to experience a turtle release on Sombrero Beach from The Turtle Hospital. Highly recommend renting from Monica again and on Marathon Beach.

We stayed here for a whole week and it was very awesome everything way exceeded our standards and we cant wait to come back!

The Grouper house was fabulous. I stayed there with my wife and kids for a week. Everything about this place was top notch. From booking to check in and check out. Her staff is nothing short of superb. Sean makes sure every need or question is answered promptly. The best place I have ever stayed. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing week at this beautiful home in Marathon! The property was impeccably clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to local attractions, great restaurants, and great location on the canal. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure every detail of our stay was seamless. Whether relaxing at the house or exploring the area, this was the ideal getaway spot. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Keys!

Nice place to stay in Key Largo, close to Tavernier end of Key. Long ride if going to Key West. Nice little patio in back on second floor. Easily sleeps 6. Nice kitchen. Easy to park in front Yard. Nice stay. Snappers restaurant easy walk across Rt 1. Joe L.

We had the perfect vacation! Love the location and the amenities of Key Colony Beach. The place was great for relaxing. I only wish we brought our dog..

We really enjoyed our stay at Keys 2 Joy. It's located right in Key Colony Beach with access to anything you need within a quick drive. The house was very clean, decorated nicely, owners communicated clear directions and entrance instructions, and everything we needed was provided. They even had some toys stowed away and my 2 small kids loved it. The layout of the house is different than expected with 2 entrances that come into bedrooms, but it wasn't an issue since we put the kids in the middle room. Kitchen had anything we needed, fridge had an ice maker, there's room for a boat, and even a few poles to fish off the dock. We had our dog with us also and they neighborhood is super walkable and friendly. Would stay here again for sure, thanks!

Fabulous location, we enjoyed looking at the canal, easy walk to the beach and restaurants, beautiful sunsets every night at Sunset Park. Thank you for a wonderful spring break trip!

Very comfortable and an amazing view of the canal. We could walk right off the deck and out along the boardwalk for the canal. Gorgeous for sunrises.

Excellent accommodations, everything was available for swimming boating and fishing activities. So convenient to attractions and restaurants. Walk out on same level to pool was the best feature. Enjoyed the quality in pool and bath towels.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Gail was very communicative and the house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time. We saw some manatees from the dock, iguanas, and of course fish. Friendly quiet neighborhood, grocery store close by.

Excellent location in town. Nice clean home on a beautiful canal. Good for fishing. Recommend more toilet paper and front door is very hard to lock.
