KEY COLONY BEACH
The Manatee Bungalow waterfront cottage is located in the charming village of Key Colony Beach, Florida. Key Colony Beach is its own municipality, is super clean and self contained, and is surrounded by water for true island charm. You can ride bikes and walk most everywhere on the island. There is a playground, tennis courts and a Par 3 golf course directly across from the cottage. MB will have information on bicycle rental, kayak rental, local eats, fishing and other attractions located inside in a handy guest notebook, as well.
BEYOND KCB
Even as unspoiled as KCB and the quiet neighborhoods around Manatee Bungalow feel, a quick drive down the Sadowski Causeway will take you over to Marathon where you will find public boat ramps, tourist attractions, Aquarium Encounters, Publix, Home Depot, restaurants and shopping. Want to go a little further? Take a scenic drive over the 7 Mile Bridge and visit Bahia Honda park. Key West is only fifty (50) miles down U.S. 1, and is the southernmost point in the U.S. , and has lots of shopping, bars, restaurants and the famous sunset festival every night (check local info). The Florida Keys really has it all, and Manatee Bungalow Vacation Rental gives you everything you need to enjoy your best vacation yet.
Golf Course, playground, basketball court across the street. Walk to Cabana Club, which is included with your stay. Walk to Key Colony Inn for great food and live music. Most everything on KCB is walkable, or accessible by bicycle.
Check out the guidebook, inside Manatee Bungalow. Lots of information on local restaurants, menus, activities, fishing info and more! KCB alone has 5 restaurants with more on the way.
There is a great farmers market every Friday in Marathon, and seasonally Duck Key Tuesdays, with lots of unique goods, fresh food and more. Also, enjoy the sunset at Sunset Park at the end of the island. It's a great spot for family photos, or just to enjoy the view. Our website has a FAQ and RECREATION page for more info on what there is to do locally. KCB is paved with bike and walking paths, quiet and friendly, and close to Marathon.

Perfect vacation house
Our first trip to Marathon, and we could not have picked a more perfect place to stay. The house was beautiful and had everything you could ever need. The location was perfect. Got to water the Manatees in the canal. The owner was very nice and easy to deal with. I would stay there again for sure. I would highly recommend!

Highly Reccomend
We had a great experience at the Manatee Bungalow and can't wait to return! Everything was clean, nice and new - not what you would expect from the typical short-term rental.
