“We absolutely loved our stay at Mary’s place! It’s probably one of our favorite places we’ve stayed at! Mary was super helpful with recommendations and very responsive, never had one issue. She also allowed our dog to come. He had a great time too! We’re going to plan another stay here in the future, we just loved it so much.”
“Great house. everything was as described. Definitely would stay again”
“Great place and host. Will return in the future.”
“We had a wonderful time, the house was clean and comfortable.”
“This place is great! Has everything you need and is in a great location. Mary was responsive and gave detailed instructions. I recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Mary was phenomenal with communication and providing everything we could’ve needed. The house was so clean and cozy, it felt like being at home! Truly couldn’t recommend it enough!”
“The house is great, we enjoyed the backyard, the tiki hut and the deck everyday. We went on walks every evening as the neighborhood is safe and quiet, my kids enjoyed the cabana club. The location is great. I would gladly stay in this house again when l come back to Marathon!”
“Mary’s place was a perfect Keys getaway. We will be back”
“The house was amazing. The location was right in the middle of everything. Docking the boat right outside was a huge plus. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Mary was an outstanding host. Property was top notch. We will definitely stay again!”
“Home is well worn and was dirty. Owner did respond and clean it better”
“Had a wonderful week at the house. Plenty of room, great central Keys location and friendly and responsive host.”
“Location was great. A 5 minute walk to the Cabana Club, which has a pool, private beach, restaurant, and bar. The backyard was a great place to have breakfast and lunch right on the water.”
“Mary’s place was very comfortable and met our expectations and beyond. Our kids and grandkids from Minnesota had experienced things they will remember for a lifetime.
Thanks to Mary and her beautiful home, great memories were made.
Thank you Mary!”
“Was a great and accommodating host. Gave great recommendations and really made the place comfortable for us, especially our 18 month old! Place was very clean and had lots to do!”
“This was our first time in the Marathon area and it is now our favorite. Mary’s home is very nice and in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Very easy to find and close to everything in that area. Mary was very responsive to us. If you are looking for a home in this area I recommend this place for your vacation. I would look at renting again in the future. Thanks Mary for the relaxing stay.”
“We had an amazing stay! The property offered a beautiful ocean view overlooking the canal, with easy boat access that made our trip even more enjoyable. Having their own Key Colony Beach marina was extremely convenient for bringing our boat. The home was spotless and well-maintained, and Mary was wonderfully communicative throughout our stay, making everything seamless.
The Cabana Club was a highlight—heated pool, relaxing hot tub, and a welcoming atmosphere. We also loved exploring the area, with plenty of great restaurants nearby to choose from. Overall, this was the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and fun. Highly recommend! 🌊✨”
“Mary was a very attentive host. She was in constant contact with us to make sure that we had everything we needed. Any point that I asked or a question she was quick to respond. The house was very clean.”
“The family and I had a great time,will definitely return. Thank you again”
“Excellent location near everything in the keys. Loved the ability to fish off the dock. Mary was super communicative and helpful about a small issue we had. Would gladly stay here again.”
“💙
Hi marry
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the chance to stay in your home by the ocean. It was such a special experience — from the sound of the waves in the morning to the peaceful evenings by the water. The house felt so welcoming, and it really made my trip unforgettable. Thank you again for everything.”
“Thank you for hosting us, for an amazing week! Your home was just what we needed to experience the gorgeous keys!”
“Location is great.
House is just like
The photos.”
“Great boating house to stay at”
“We came down for lobster season. This property had everything we needed and more. Even a bait freezer! So many people come down here to fish/lobster and yet so many owners don’t have a bait freezer. This was a big plus. The beds were super comfy, kitchen stocked, great layout, and location was sooooo convenient to everything (ice, gas, marina, ramp, bait/tackle, bars, ocean/gulf, restaurants, etc etc). We were thrilled with the house and Mary’s responsiveness.”
“The house was very comfortable and the backyard was a special treat, with loungers for sunning and a shady gazebo with comfortable seating. We spent lots of time out there. There were two times that we had to reach out to the owner with a simple problem and both times she responded immediately and took care of the issue right away. The fridge was spacious and the kitchen had lots of items for stove top cooking. She had cookie sheets but no oven casserole dishes so we bought some foil pans for that. The washer/dryer worked great and the shower's hot water was plentiful. The community pool was wonderful and only a short walk away.”
“We had a great stay! This home was perfect for us. The canal in the back yard was awesome
fishing. Great location & beautiful views.”
“Place was great. Boat dock was a good perk! Cabana Club was nice. Definitely recommend!”
“The host was responsive to all of our questions. House was as stated and we enjoyed our time there.”
“Everything was perfect! Mary was super helpful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!”
“Great place to stay for family vacation or guys fishing trip. Plenty of dock space to park the boat and easy access to the Atlantic. House is clean and all amenities worked as they should. Would definitely recommend to a family or friend. Mary was a great host who provided all information without even requesting it.”
“Place was perfect for our needs.”
“Great neighborhood and close to beach, restaurants, sunset park. We did have 2 palmetto bugs(on glue traps)during our stay. Wish the front door had blinds as it is a clear/not frosted glass door. Labels on lights were helpful. Given 1 trash bag for a 4 day stay for 5 ppl with note explaining it is starter kit. Few lights had burnt out bulbs, we found extra bulbs but not correct size. All in All, mary was great and we all enjoyed her place to come to after a long day”
“The four of us arrived at Mary’s place and we immediately felt right at home. The place was neat and clean and the decor was tropical. The backyard overlooking the canal was a great place to relax and unwind. We loved walking down the block to the Cabana club each afternoon after coming back from local excursions. One of the great benefits was being able to use the Cabana club which had a fantastic pool, hot tub, beach access and a full service bar with great food and drinks with excellent service and a friendly staff!”
“This home was great! There was six of us staying in this rental. It was spacious for all of us. We loved sitting outside on the patio by the canal. We were able to walk to a local restaurant, beach and pool. The house was very clean and the neighborhood was super quiet. Overall a great stay and Mary was an excellent host!”
“Had a great week at Mary’s place. The house is as described and enjoyed going to the Cabana Club for the pool and beach.”
“Mary's house is the perfect place to stay when visiting the keys! We really liked its central location and it is in a quiet neighborhood right on the water. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The cabana club with pool and beach access just down the road was wonderful! Mary was great at communicating and we would definitely stay in one of her houses again if we are able to make another trip to the beautiful Florida keys!”
“Mary and Ted took wonderful care of us.
Just a text away !
Loved walking to Cabana Club and spending time on Beach.
The location on quiet street with nice neighbors.
Great location for Fishing and tying boat up to their dock.
Added plus bait freezer.
Highly recommend this property.”
“Mary's place was in a very safe and beautiful location. Everyone was friendly and there were endless dining options. There were even local conveniences that I didn't expect nearby such as Dollar Tree, Winn Dixie, Home Depot, etc. Showers had great water pressure, hot water, and had zero sulphur smell. Decor was lovely and ample storage space for your things. A/C and heat works great and no musty smells anywhere. Beds, outdoor furniture and couches very comfortable. Convenient off-street parking. Was too busy to enjoy the cabana amenities but visited it briefly and it looked wonderful. Thank you Mary hope to return in the future!”
“We had a wonderful stay and Mary was a great host.
The house was very comfortable and the outside space was great. We really enjoyed having access to the Cabana Club with pool, bar and beach.”
“Mary’s place was perfect for our family vacation in Marathon! Our whole family loved hanging out both inside and outside. We thoroughly enjoyed the view of the marina and the spending evenings in the tiki hut. The location is perfect! We especially loved the Cabana Club - an added bonus to our stay. Mary was very communicative before and during our stay.
We would stay at Mary’s place again!”
“Mary contacted us for an early
Check in. Was very responsive to
Any questions we had. Loved the home and surrounding areas. We visited the Cabana Club a couple of times for a relaxing day at the beach and pool to decompress after full days on other Keys”
“Really liked this quiet place, we went to the backyard Tikibar everyday. The included Cabana club, few minutes walk distance, was also pretty nice with pool and beach access. For rainy day, the pool table serves well! We enjoyed fish on the available BBQ as well, kitchen is really well equiped.”
“We loved Mary's place! The location was perfect and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. One of the rooms wasn't cooling very well and Mary's had someone over to fix it within just a few hours. couldn't have asked for a more responsive host. We did a little fishing at the house and caught lots of fish. We would definitely stay again!!”
“I loved the place !!!!
There was 6 of us and there was something to do nearby for all of our interests
The boys went fishing off the canal
The girls went to the clubhouse which had a pool and beach access
The kids and dad rented kayaks around the corner and cruised around the canals and when they wanted a break there is a dock on the back of the house to which they could get off and on from
Neighbors were very friendly and helpful on fishing tactics (Michigan fishing is different…)
House was well all I can come up with is the word “perfect” to the part where we had a family meeting and we are going to do this every year at Mary’s house and it’s dog friendly … we didn’t take our dog Patty melt this year but next year and after we will”
“Ac definitely needs serviced. Temperature never got below 75. Don’t think the blower is even working in the rooms except the living room. The main bedroom was probably the only true cool enough bedroom of the 3 to comfortably sleep in. The one without a window unit was unusable to sleep in it got so hot. Bathrooms were like saunas. Limited pots/pans/bowls hindered cooking. Very unfortunate there was no flat top/black stone to cook on which was pictured in listing. Had a dock lift that was unusable also. Location is spot on. Easy access to the ocean. Was a little thrown off by the $30 charge for launching and then again for trailering the boats. Would definitely come back in the cooler months.”
“Our stay at the Airbnb was excellent. The host was always responsive, providing useful details before my arrival and ensuring everything was in order during our stay. The check-in process was very easy, and the apartment was clean.
The location was perfect, in a quiet area. The photos in the listing perfectly reflect what the place is like, though I must say it looks even better in person. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, which was ideal since I needed to work some days.
Thank you”
“Great place to stay! The private Cabana club was very nice. Right on the canal with boat access.”
“Mary is wonderful. The house was great. The AC not so much, however we did not call and complain as we work on AC not in it n there wasn’t much to be done; the house must have been unoccupied the week before n it was hot when we got there. The price we paid for it was a bit high as I booked in Oct for July n we started at 3 nights then was told We must do full week as it was mini lobster season. Turned out good as it made us use built up vacation time. However next year’s mini is listed for susbstantially less per night. It is centrally located and easy to get to great fishing on both coasts so book it while you can.
Overall we had a great time. Mary is great, we checked in early and she even helped finding a closer boat ramp.”
“The stay was great, very relaxing, beautiful view, quick walk to cabana club which had a pool, hot tub, and beach access. Lots of great restaurants in the area. My husband loves all the fishing equipment that was provided. My kids loved the pool table.”
“We spent a week in Mary's lovely house in Key Colony Beach. The house, the neighborhood and the available pool and beach club were all totally enjoyable and accessible. Mary is a super hostess. We had a question with ice maker that Mary quickly addressed.”
“The use of the club was such an awesome bonus and the house had comfort, fun, and beauty to offer. We had a great visit!”
“We enjoyed our visit, this house is beautiful and perfect to stay in Marathon”
“Mary’s house is great in so many ways! She was responsive and easy to work with. Mary provided clear instructions for arrival and was helpful with suggestions of things in the area. We arrived near dark and the dusk to dawn outdoor lighting was helpful, and also the light switches are all labeled which was a plus. The house was super clean and just as pictured! I usually expect to do my own cleaning before unpacking, but with Mary’s house that wasn’t needed. The kitchen was fully stocked. With the tiki bar and plenty of lounge chairs, we were able to enjoy the water views and also fish from the dock. It was nice having a fish cleaning station and outdoor freezer right at the house. There’s a gas grill in the back which was an added bonus. The house is in a great location within Key Colony Beach. It’s walkable to the Cabana Club and plenty of streets to walk dogs. Our dogs enjoyed cooling off on the tile floors inside. We enjoyed our time at Mary’s house and I highly recommend!”
“Mary's place was perfect for our vacation. Perfectly in between Key Largo and Key West. Beautiful community. Very private. The pool and beach were a nice touch. We loved the outside furniture and tiki bar. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Boat access was exactly what we were looking for in this trip. Great to hop on the boat and get out fishing.
Cleaning crew should do a better job removing bathroom mold and dusting ceilings. They did not sweep under furniture and did not pull out refrigerator drawers. I had to do some cleaning to feel comfortable.
The backyard landscape was outstanding. Loved the tiki hut/bar for a relaxing afternoon break.
Mary is a clear communicator and cares for her guests.”
“Mary’s house was perfect for my family. Location was great. Private beach club with pool is within walking distance and was very nice. Could walk to sunset park for a beautiful sunset. Was great to be on a canal and fish right off the dock (used the fishing rods at the house). My kids fell in love with it and we even saw a manatee swim by! The pool table was a fun addition as well. The area was beautiful and so many restaurants within a short car ride.”
“What a great vacation. Mary’s place was so nice, beds were comfy, place was clean, spacious and the tiki hut was our main spot. Mary was very responsive to any needs. The Cabana Club was very friendly & the restaurant next door, both have great food. The surroundings are beautiful! We will be back! Thanks Mary”
“Mary has been the ulitimate host and her Key Colony property served our family reunion well. It's location makes it a great base to explore the Keys. The pool table was an additional bonus which, in our downtime, kept our guest engaged with each other rather than diving into their mobile/gaming devices.
Mary has been a pleasure to work with and is very attentive, promptly responding to any questions or concerns we may of had. She is flexible and works well to fullfill any special needs you may require. We will definitly check out this and her other properties when we plan future trips.
Thanks Mary for being such a big part of making our family reunion successful!”
“i feel obligated to write an honest review. this place was extremely disappointing, especially for the money! it is not “completely renovated”, as advertised. the bathrooms and kitchen have been updated, otherwise it needs a lot of work. there is a musty smell. there is no vent in the master bath, the bedrooms are warm. there are 2 window units in master and guest (very loud and bad installs). there were a bunch of palmetto bugs (dead and alive). we couldn’t use the guest toilet b/c it clogged. the floors were filthy! the water pressure in shower was very low. it’s so humid out bathing suits wouldn’t even dry after hanging up for days. i explained issues to mary, she apologized and offered to send help over, but i declined b/c that is not how we wanted to spend our vacation. we have never had issues like this at other airbnb’s. very disappointing, wish i had seen the review about past flooding experience with past tenant. there are bugs b/c house is not properly sealed.”
“Perfect for a small boat in canal with trailer parking in front. Nice bait freezer and fish cleaning station out back. One small bedroom was kind of warm. That said, great fun with teens and bonus of pool table, club pool/beach within walking distance. Beautiful sunsets walking distance. Mary was extremely quick to respond to any issue or request. That stood out the most.”
“Nice house with spacious family area. Baths and kitchen are updated, the backyard is well kept and boat dockage is available if you have one and not far to go to get to the Atlantic. Up to two dogs are allowed which was something we needed. Mary is a nice lady who is easy to communicate with. I would book here again.”
“Great location and very responsive host.”
“Mary was extremely responsive - impressively so. When there were small issues (the fridge door handle came loose), she responded immediately and sent over a repairman the very next morning. There were many instructions, the kitchen utensils/pans/appliances covered all of our needs. The Key Colony Beach community and Cabana Beach Club were excellent: a good blend of quiet and scenic, but lots to do and fun to be had! There were two restaurants within walking distance and many others that were a short drive. We loved having the canal in our backyard and enjoyed breakfast in the tiki hut. Why we gave it 4 stars instead of 5: there was a LOT of clean up requested from us despite also paying a large cleaning fee, the beds were not very comfortable (very soft, quite high, nice linens), and even though we booked for 5 nights were told we could only book for 7. We were a party of 6 adults (3 couples, from late twenties to mid-60's), stayed for a week over Christmas. Overall would recommend.”
“We enjoyed our stay in this house! My husband and FIL are big fishermen and loved the ability to fish right outside in the backyard. The Cabana Club was within walking distance which had a great heated pool, food/drinks and a private beach that wasn't busy. We unfortunately had lots of rain during our stay which caused some flooding in the house but Mary was very responsive, apologetic and willing to provide assistance with fixing the problems. There are lots of fun family activities and restaurants very close to the house. We also spent a day in Key West which is just over an hour drive. Highly recommend!”
“We had an air conditioning issue however Mary was very responsive and repair people were out twice and the issue was resolved on day 2 of rental.”
“Our family spent a week at Mary's house in Key Colony and we really enjoyed our stay. We loved the area, the layout of the house and the amenities. Great place to spend your vacation. Mary is very responsive and helpful should you need to contact her for any reason. We thank her for the opportunity, it was a trip to remember! Highly recommend!”
“Mary's place was perfectly located and just as described. If you choose to go to the Cabana Club, there are many rules ie: can't bring food or drinks of any kind. Since we had kids with us we chose not to go. Kitchen has dishware , pots and pans, and cookware but not much else except a roll of paper towels and dish soap. We would stay there again!”
“What a fabulous house! It was perfect in every way!”
“We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The house was perfect for our party of 5. It was spacious, clean, and beautifully kept. The host was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The location was also great - it was close to many restaurants and attractions. The included Cabana Club was a nice surprise and made for a perfect pool day. We would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the area.”
“Beautiful location and home..It has everything you need..I would definitely recommend..”
“Mary was a lovely host who made excellent recommendations and was very responsive throughout whenever we needed something. Her home had everything we needed and a lovely patio area on the water where we spent a lot of our time. It is centrally located to where you can go to local restaurants or even take a day trip to key west, which is a scenic drive. The pool/beach was walking distance and we enjoyed the day there with incredible staff attention. We felt very at home and look forward to renting again in the future.”
“Mary’s place was very convenient and within walking distance to the Cabana Club. We loved the waterfront dock, tiki hut and great room which had a nice pool table!”
“Mary was a great host. She was very timely with communication and helpful with our questions. The location was beautiful and overall the house was what we anticipated.”
“Had a great time. Place was everything we expected and then some. The perks were wonderful, and the location is tough to beat. Do yourself a favor and stay here next time you are in the area.”
“This was an amazing vacation and property the house was above and beyond my expectations. We will definitely be back next year and more years to come it was a perfect family reunion that we want to replicate. I will recommend Mary and this property to anyone i know that is heading to the keys. Thank you again Mary for letting us stay in your amazing home.”
“Mary's house is wonderful, as advertised, spacious with Florida Keys charm. The tiki hut was a favorite hangout for us. The private dock was well maintained with easy access to the Atlantic coast. The Cabana Club is a relaxing spot with a large pool, bar and beach. We will be looking to book this location again in the future.”
“Mary was great, and the place was awesome!! Parking was great for 2 cars and boat trailer ( 24’ ) House was roomy and clean. Nothing bad to say about the place”
“Mary was very helpful with anything we asked and responded very quickly. She was really helpful with places to go and recommended restaurants.
The access to the Cabana pool club was such a bonus. The lovely Chad could not have been nicer and made us feel so welcome. We had some of the nicest fresh food we’d had too.
We really enjoyed our stay.”
“Great location to stay, especially if bringing a boat or want to kayak/paddleboard. The house was really cute, kitchen was perfect for cooking.”
“The outside of the house looks great, with the exception of the drip outside the sliding door. It had goop all over it. The inside needs a lot of work….Ceilings are peeling, couch had a hole, throw pillows are dirty, rugs were dirty, fake plant had dust all over it, hole in closet was filled with spray foam, 3rd bedroom doesn’t have a window unit and it’s HOT, baseboards were dirty, middle bathroom needs an exhaust fan versus a fan, the kitchen had leftover food/dog food and wasn’t properly stocked with things we needed like storage bowls. We had to get creative. There were brand new places close by that we could’ve gotten for around the same price. We won’t rent this place again.”
“Mary is an awesome host ! Second year staying at this beautiful house, my family and I love it! If you are looking for a nice vacation, this is the right place! Highly recommended!”
“The place was really nice! Loved the fact there was 2 coffee makers, plenty of towels and all the kitchen basic's needed. AC units in each bedroom, even beach towels to use. within walking distance of a pool and the Ocean. It was a special occasion for my friends 60th bday and Mary helped me get her house cleaner in touch with me to totally buy and decorate the place to make it very special when we walked into the house .”
“Beautiful home. We really enjoyed our stay.”
“Plenty of room, loved the pool table and outdoor tiki bar. Great for the boat with easy access for fishing or snorkeling.”
“Great place to stay with the family. Boating and fishing paradise. Dock is right behind the house with all the amenities needed. Pool table was awesome. Best part was being able to head straight off shore from the house, got us some wahoo’s! Thanks Mary, great place. We will be back.”
“Mary’s place was the perfect home base for my family of 4. There were several restaurants in walking distance + a great pool with a bar/food and beach access. Mary was a great host and was very responsive despite it being a holiday weekend. Mary also was very generous and allowed my family a late check out after our plane was delayed. We are already planning our next trip back!”
“Mary's home was just what the doctor ordered. Very relaxing. The pool table was a bonus after a long day on the water. I think the driveway needs to be updated a little. My wife tripped on the rocks and fell. She got skinned up a good bit but is ok. Very narrow. Other than that we had a great time.”
“Great place to relax and do all things water.”
“We had a wonderful vacation ! Peaceful and quiet , pool close by for the kids . Ambiance was amazing . I would sit under tiki hut and just gaze at the canal and birds .”
“This was the perfect getaway for me and my family! The house was comfortable to be in and spacious enough for everyone. The back patio area is a beautiful spot to hang out, eat, drink, park our boat, and relax! I hope next visit to the keys this home is available. Would love to come back in the future! 10/10 recommend.”
“This place was wonderful! We had a couple of issues (like the grill had to be replaced) but I am not kidding she had a new one on the doorstep in a couple hours! It was AMAZING! Can’t not recommend enough!!”
“Our stay was fantastic. Mary was very helpful. The house was super clean. The pool table was nice for the evening wind down. We saw a manatee in the canal (inlets) right behind the house. We rented a boat and was able to dock it there which was wonderful for a nice evening cruise. There are several places to cruise up to in your boat for lunch and dinner. Saw a couple dolphins. Such a beautiful area to visit. We truly appreciate having great communication with our host. We loved it! One of our favorite stays!!”
“The house was clean. Loved the pool table for late night entertainment after boating
Manatees came up to the dock. Great location for boating.
The clubhouse and beach were so close and nice to have available to us. Mary was always quick to respond to us. We would definitely stay again.”
“We had a fabulous stay! Mary’s place is gorgeous, and we felt right at home. She left fantastic directions and suggestions for things to do in the area, and the house was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. Every day was another day in paradise. Thanks, Mary!”
