Area Information

Come to the heart of the Florida Keys - relax & unwind in a Certified Butterfly Garden, lounge on the lanai, or enjoy the ocean view in the hot tub. Spacious home near restaurants and attractions (Turtle Hospital, Aquarium, & Dolphin Center), as well as Sombrero and Coco Plum beaches. Bahia State Park is just beyond the world-famous 7-mile bridge. Activities include fishing, diving, snorkeling, boating (nearby boat ramps), jet skiing, golfing, kayaking, & biking. Key West is only an hour away.

Attractions Within Walking Distance

There is a park 1 block over, the air museum is across the street, there is an ice cream shop and coffee shop at the end of the road.

Favorite Places To Eat

We enjoy Lazy Days, Sparky's, Island Fish Market, Sunset Grill, and Herbie's. Sometimes we go to Porky's for a pulled pork sandwich - they are opening a mini golf soon. There is a neat ocean view at Havana Jack in Key Colony, at is slower service - but if you know that going in, you will enjoy yourself there.

Inside Scoop

Sometimes at Sunset we head over to Key Colony Beach to watch the sun go down with the local crowd.

About the owner: I have been going to the Florida Keys my whole life. I am grateful that my partner Chris and my four children now hold a little piece of this paradise. We love the water, the atmosphere and the warm weather.

Why this property? Beautiful butterfly garden, on a quiet street, near many wonderful Marathon attractions. Approx. an hour drive to Key West, 5 minutes from aquarium, 10 minutes from the Turtle hospital. There are many choices of restaurants and things to do. Your stress will melt away in our home.
