DIVING AND SNORKELING
As seen from the air, Marathon and the Middle Keys appear as emerald
isles set amid a sea of turquoise. Marathon's reefs offer great
variety in coral formations and fish life. The crystalline waters of
the Atlantic Ocean reveal a marine wilderness comprised of an
extensive spur-and-groove coral complex and numerous well-developed
patch reefs. Each reef is populated by a vast array of Caribbean
tropical fish and invertebrates, with the fascinating addition of both
modern and historical shipwrecks to complete the tremendous sport dive
appeal of the region.
WRECKS AND REEFS.............
* Adelaide Baker - This historic shipwreck features a pair of huge
stacks in only 25 feet of water, a vivid reminder of the days when
steamships plied the Florida Keys.
* Sombrero Reef - This traditional favorite of the Marathon dive
portfolio is marked by a 140-foot lighted tower. Coral canyons and
archways provide refuge for schools of grunt and snapper while
solitary barracuda appear to stand sentinel.
* Coffin's Patch - This is not a single reef but a conglomerate of six
distinct patch reefs, each with a unique identity defined by a
predominant coral species. For example, at Pillar Coral Patch dozens
of intact pillar coral heads thrust their fuzzy polyps to snare
passing nutrients. Snorkelers will especially appreciate the shallow
elkhorn forests found throughout Coffin's Patch in less than 20 feet
of water.
* Delta Shoals - Here a vast network of coral canyons fan seaward from
a sandy shoal, offering wonderful opportunities for both diving and
snorkeling amid elkhorn, brain, and star coral heads.
* The Thunderbolt - This 188-foot ship is the queen of the Marathon
wreck fleet. Sunk intentionally as a dive attraction on March 3, 1986,
she now sits perfectly upright in 115 feet of water. Her
superstructure is coated with colorful sponge, coral, and hydroid,
providing refuge and sustenance to large angelfish, jacks, and a
variety of deep-water pelagic creatures.

  Relaxation at it's best!

  Left on 09/19/2011 for a stay in September 2011
  
  

  We stayed here with another couple and our dog for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. This home is as pictured and described. We love Key Colony and believe it to be one of the safest areas to stay. There are restrictions for noise control, trash, traffic etc. which is just what you need when you want to relax and not worry about a thing. The walking paths on the street, local eateries,(see my Sparkys review) and the doggy park are all the things we look for to get away. The pool was awesome, and well maintained, the hot tub was a suprise though because we expected a Jacuzzi. This does not bubble it only has a flow of water which you heat up. Regardless this was a favorite spot for sore diving muscles. The bedrooms were very comfy and clean. There were several minor, and I mean minor issues for maint. to look at but nothing that would deter me from coming back. I think if more people would fill out the check out list things would be fixed in a more timely manner. Brad was excellent to work with and answered the phone every time we called with a question. Ana cleaned her heart out for us as the previous guest had left a mess and we were a little early in our arrival. Brad allowed us to enjoy the outside areas while we waited and we swam and docked the boat. Much unlike my exprience at Caban del Sol in Big pine, (review to come) The seating area in living room is a little awkward as other guests stated but we just grabbed another chair to sit in.
  The Kitchen had most of what you needed, and we grilled out the nights we cooked. it was great having a bait freezer and outdoor shower for the fishing days. The pool is very private and as of this stay there are two vacant lots on each side . You can swim and relax on the patio without anyone being able to see you which I really loved, as well as a dining area to wave to the boats passing buy. Lots of lizards every morning that were fun to watch, and caught some mangrove snapper right at the dock. We will be staying here again, and recommend it to everyone. Pics to come so check back!

  Beautiful house pool and spa and walk to Sunset Beach

  Left on 11/30/2010 for a stay in November 2010
  
  

  We were looking for a condo with just two of us but got a good deal on the house. We loved Key Colony Beach just accross from Marathon. The house was on a canal from which we caught Mangrove Snapper for dinner one night with a wonderful pool and spa. Although it is not a beach view it is walking distance to Sunset Beach from which we got some great Keys sunset pictures. The house is very spacious and would be great for families. We spend most of out time on the dock fishing or in the pool. Marathon was a great place to stay and a short drive to Key West about 50 miles away. The sliding glass doors needed a little work and cable TV was not the best but it had internet and Brad was going to fix those few minor items. It is a wonderful neighborhood and great for walking or biking. Master bed was very comfortable and plenty of bathrooms. It was a wonderful house and we plan to go back with more family. One dining tip is to go to the Hideaway Cafe on Grassy Key about 5 miles north before 6 and get one of the early bird specials it was great. Also loved Lazy Daze and Sunset Grille. Also go to a movie in Marathon just for the experience. Wish the weather had not been so windy so the fishing trip got cancelled but we'll just have to go back!

  great property

  Left on 01/12/2010 for a stay in December 2009
  
  

  Great: neighborhood, layout, dock, master suite, kitchen, pool, outside spa, landscaping, dealings with owner/broker
  
  a few correctable weak spots: wifi router, tvs need updates (and new locations in bedrooms), garage doors need mantaince.
  
  Only complaints: small living room that only accomidates 3 people, no screen limits use of OUTSTANDING backyard.
  
  All told, we all loved every minute of our week.

  Paradise at its best!

  Left on 01/06/2010 for a stay in December 2009
  
  

  We had the thrill of spending Dec. 26th through Jan. 2nd at this beautiful home in Key Colony Beach in the beautiful Florida Keys. We have been visiting the keys since the 70's, renting homes up and down the islands as well as in the Carribbean and the continental U.S. This home was extraordinary in design, landscaping, outdoor comfort with heated pool and spa with beautiful view. The house was immaculate, well stocked, comfortable beds and furniture. What made it extraordinary was Brads efforts to keep instructions organized and being available for whatever was needed. He is not only the property manager but also a concierge. For a family vacation, this was the best New Years we ever had. New years Eve in the spa drinking champagne watching the fireworks and the stars. We will definitely return to rent this home again. Thank you Brad.

  Wonderful

  Left on 12/16/2009 for a stay in November 2009
  
  

  Our experience with this house and with Brad was wonderful,as usual. Brad is always accomodating and the house is beautiful and well laid out.
  We came this time to celebrate our 1st anniversary (we got married in the Keys last Dec 1st), and it could not have been more memorable. When we are at this house we feel like we are in our own tropical resort, with the pool, palm trees, privacy and even the Iguana's. Thanks Brad.

  live like the RICH for a week

  Left on 10/29/2009 for a stay in October 2009
  
  

  We stayed here 10/3/09 to 10/10/10/09. I don't want to talk it up too much so it will be available next year when we come down.:) It was the nicest house that we have ever stayed in the Keys and we've been coming down there for the past 4 years. We want to stay there again next year for 2 weeks. My family just loved it! It was one gorgeous house, the pictures do the house no justice at all and Brad was awesome to work with.Oh my gosh, the beds are so comfortable.We slept so good in the house.If I could have fit that bed in my car. I can not say anything bad about the home and the renting experience we had was unbelievable. One thing better, I caught a 5 FT 75 pound Black fin shark! Thanks so much for everything!

  Perfect location and beautiful home!

  Left on 10/16/2009 for a stay in August 2009
  
  

  The location and the home itself could not have been better, however, there are some repairs that need to be done to make it even better.ie..fix the sliding doors, very hard to open and close!!! Repair the microwave as the counter top microwave doesn't work real well either!! I would definately want to rent this house again if repairs are done!! Brad's service was great!
