Waterfront vacation rentals 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.

Great stay with a very nice view of the sea! Host sent proactive instructions and the place was everything we wanted. Dennys Cuban Cafe was an excellent place to grab any meal of the day.

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.

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.

1st time in the keys and we stayed at Ana's lovely place for 4 days and 3 nights. It was the perfect jump off place to explore the keys. When we originally pulled up I was a little nervous as the exterior of the building is a little older and I was concerned maybe I booked something that was not as advertised, but the inside was absolutely gorgeous, better than the pictures and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The private beach and pier made for spectacular sunrises and sunsets, the only item to note was that the unit is upstairs and you need to hand carry your luggage to the top floor, so something to be aware of.

Condo was exactly as pictured. Beautiful resort and everyone very friendly onsite. Great location and close to lots to do. Cannot wait to book again.

An easy and relaxing family trip to the Florida Keys. Central location and a well appointed comfortable apartment. We will definitely return!

Roberto is by far the most thorough and conscientious host. We were so pleased with our accommodations and immediately felt at home. The use of The Cabana Club was a real bonus on the hottest days. Will most certainly return to Marathon!

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.

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!

We enjoyed our stay. The home was comfortable and very clean. It was nice to have a view of the water and a heated pool! The rooms were comfortable and accommodating for our family. Naomi was quick to respond when we had questions. I would stay here again! This spot was close to many restaurants, grocery stores, and right on bike paths!

Our first stay at this property was truly unforgettable, and we can't wait to return! Francisco is an outstanding host, always quick to respond and attentive to every detail. The house exceeded our expectations—it was spotless, fully equipped, and conveniently located near stores and restaurants. The outdoor area was a peaceful and inviting space, thoughtfully designed with a refrigerator, sink, hot tub, gas fire pit, and ceiling fans to keep you comfortable. The soft lighting added a warm and welcoming ambiance, perfect for evening gatherings or simply relaxing under the stars. We especially loved the canal, which was incredibly easy to navigate and provided quick access to the ocean—a paradise for fishing enthusiasts! We even caught fish right in the canal, but the absolute highlight was spotting manatees from the dock. If you're looking for the perfect getaway, look no further. Book your stay with Francisco—you won’t regret it

Alfonso is a very responsive host who provided clear details, local recommendations (multiple of which we used), and provided a place in a great location. Neighbors are friendly. Place was clean. Perfect for our family with a 14 and 6 year old.

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 an amazing week stay at this property. It was spotless with too of the line amenities. The street is very quiet with little to no traffic located at a dead end canal street. Bonus that we were able to dock our boat and it was pet friendly. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! This place is beautiful and exactly what we wanted for our week’s stay in Marathon.

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.

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.

Expect a nice, relaxing time. Beautiful scenery and lots to do in Marathon Key.

The unit is just like the photos and was very comfortable! John was helpful and helped make for an enjoyable stay! Would happily stay here again

Michelle was great! Very responsive and understanding when we had to make a last minute trip change. Unit was clean, bright and had a nice view. It’s a nice location between Key Largo and Islamorada making it convenient to explore both. We didn’t use any of the resort’s amenities, but there was an influx of seaweed at the small beach. Just one downside of this time of years in the Keys. But the pool looked great!

We loved our stay at Nicole’s place. It was well stocked, super clean, and the decore was lovely. This is second time at Ocean Pointe. We enjoyed being in building 5 and the larger corner unit.
