Enjoyed our visit to the Keys
The entire family thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the Florida Keys. We rented the property for a total of 21 days which met the needs of our extended family rather nicely. Units one thru five are described as "Water View." However, if a view of the water is desired, you should consider units one thru three. At times, it was a challenge to access the north bound lane of U.S. Hwy1 from the location due to heavy traffic. The kayaks were a very nice amenity as was the private pool which was very clean. Were it not for the distance from Miami airport and the volume of traffic, we would definitely stay at Keys Cove again.

Great memories made!
Very clean and comfortable space for our family of 8(3 young adult children and their significant others and my hubby and me). Having 3 bathrooms for 8 was soooo incredibly helpful!! The private pool was a great plus and we utilized it daily(it was a tad warm since it’s small and it’s always hot in the Keys so that was expected). Kayaks, life vests, and paddles on site were awesome. There’s no walk in access into the waters but a patch of rocks that you can use to drop kayaks in the water and get out fairly easily. Very much enjoyed having this amenity. Very conveniently located to everything. House 1 &2 don’t have a nice view of anything from the patio unfortunately but we still had a great time. House 6,7,8 have a balcony view of the docks, beach area, and Gulf. Ours had most kitchenware that we needed with an exception of a large skillet for cooking for 8 and a baking sheet but we brought our own. Our unit had a blender, hair dryers, iron and plenty of outlets. We brought extra TP, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods and laundry pods. They had enough of everything though for a smaller family or a shorter stay. Would have liked having another nightstand or small table on both sides of the beds and a small mirror in the bedrooms so people can get ready in the bedroom rather than using bathroom space for only mirror. Overall- it was a top notch space for us and we loved Marathon and our Keys vacation even more since we could all be together in the same house.

Well maintained property and unit.
Stayed here for one week in late February and loved it. The location is only a block from US 1, so there was some traffic noise. On the other hand, it was within walking distance to restaurants, close to 7 Mile Bridge, and other attractions. The beach area isn't much, but it is right on property. If booking, only three units have a sea view, so be specific if that's what you want. Our unit was in very good shape and well stocked and maintained. Best of all was the responsiveness of the management; they brought two extra beach chairs for us and well as providing a couple of fishing poles to use at no extra charge.

Family Vacation
We booked at keys cove to be able to have a large portion of our family with us. The house was beautiful. The staff were right there for anything we needed. They gave us info on places in the area to checkout. . Check in and out were quick and easy. We definitely enjoyed being able to spend time with our families. Some of the things that were not so pleasant was the garbage that sat out in the hot sun for a couple days. The smell was overwhelming. The Staff did come and take care of the area as soon as the garbage was removed(lobster season). And when we arrived there were still food items left in the cabinets from previous guests. The staff came right over cleaned and disinfected the area. When I made the booking I thought we would be in a unit over looking the water. We were not. That could have been my fault or it could have been the listing either way it wasn’t to big of a deal. It’s only a two minute walk to the docks. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and if we ever get the opportunity we will be back.

Like a genie...
The property managers and staff of this home really make this place a gem. Every wish we had, they granted! We asked if there was a cooler on the property, they purchased one for our use. We asked about beach umbrellas, they brought us a brand-new one. We ran out of propane for the grill, they immediately got us a brand-new tank. Day 1 we put in an Instacart order for groceries and they handled putting them all away which made the first day MUCH easier. The property was perfect for our purposes. There were 10 of us (5 adults, 2 teens, 2 kids and 1 infant). There was a pack-n-play we were able to use so we didn't have to figure out a bed for our little guy. The pool area was lovely and we all fit just fine. These smaller pools seem to be the norm around the area and we enjoyed the heated pool immensely. The house was clean and well-appointed.

Friends vacation
Overall, Keys Cove was great. The house itself was clean and big enough for 7 adults to stay. There we just enough kitchen accessories. The AC worked really well in the living room and kitchen but the bedrooms still got hot at night. We were worried about the pool being too small after reading other reviews but that’s where we spent the majority of our time while at the house. It was just right for us! The listing on VRBO is misleading. It says it’s oceanfront and the pictures make it seem so. In reality, out of the multiple Key’s Cove houses, only 2 are waterfront. We had the house closest to the busy highway and it was rather loud at all times of the day. We enjoyed our stay

The beds were comfy, the bedding nice. We spent a lot of time in the pool area, (nicely heated), used Kayaks and played CornHole just about everyday. We cooked all of our meals there in kitchen or on grill. Had everything we needed. When we did need a pan that was not in cupboard, Jessica brought one immediately. We will return!

Great Keys Vacation home!
This was our first time in the Keys. The vacation home was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed for a fun 1-week stay (3 adults and two children ages 4 and 9). The pool was so warm (smaller pool, but just the right size for 2 kids and us). The staff (Jessica and Krystal) were VERY responsive to any inquiries. The location is very convenient and beautiful; we enjoyed watching the wildlife right from the pier. Highly recommend!!!

Tropical retreat
Our three generation family of five relished our stay at this very well kept property. The small, warm (90 F) private pool/ dining area on the ground floor, expansive 2nd floor balcony and full kitchen were wonderful. There is no beach near the property but beautiful Sombrero and Bahia beaches were only minutes away. My only suggestion would be the addition of several chaise lounges to the balcony deck, where we enjoyed many hours in the warm Florida sun..
