Great place to stay!

From check in to check out we had a great experience! The host was very responsive the entire stay. The home was beautiful and comfortable. Two of the rooms are connected where you have to walk to the back room through the middle room but to was never an issue for us! The kitchen had anything you might need and the ac was cold in the house! A plus for us was fans in the bedrooms! We love having fans! The outdoor living area was super nice to have. We enjoyed many evenings out under the tiki! We also were able to park our boat in the canal which was super convenient! You will love this home!

First Trip to the Keys at the Starfish

The Starfish House was a perfect size and layout for our family group. We had 5 adults and two young boys. Key Colony was a great location and we brought our own boat down to keep at the dock which was a huge convenience. The owners were beyond helpful and helped make our stay as hassle free as possible. The Cabana Club pool and beach were very convenient when the boys wanted to just play on a beach and jump in a pool. (TRY the fruit popsicles from the food bar!!!) The boys loved fishing off the dock first thing in the morning and last thing in the afternoon. Two huge manatees came by our last afternoon right up to the dock to say hi. Plenty of parking for two vehicles and a boat trailer. We are already planning when we can come back.

Clean and comfortable home in a great location

We enjoyed sitting by the canal and watching the pelicans. The cabana club was great, we enjoyed the beach and the pool. Key colony and Marathon key were both lovely, with plenty of wonderful restaurants. You do have to go through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom, which was an issue at times, but other than that it was a lovely home and we would definitely consider returning!

We enjoyed our one week stay. The property was clean and in excellent condition. The property manager was very prompt in reacting to some minor problems that we encountered (dealing with supplies at the house) but nothing that was a significant problem. Overall we would stay again and probably will.

Perfect island getaway home

One of the best rentals we’ve stayed at since our family started visiting the keys in 2010. We usually come down in august for lobster season. This year part of our group stayed at the property with the young kids. Perfect distance to the cabana club and for our diving/fishing group a short ride to make it offshore. Our host was fantastic in terms of communication. The house was clean, cold air in the rooms and spacious for the family. The tiki hut was a main attraction in watching sunsets. The starfish house was everything my family needed as a getaway and will definitely be one we look for first when booking next year.

Starfish House

Great property and great overall experience! Jennifer was very prompt in responding. The description was accurate. Plenty of space for our family of 6 (9 - 15 year old children). Deep water canal is convenient to open Atlantic waters and fishing, close (3 min walk) to small golf course and tennis/pickle ball courts, and included access to community pool, beach, and tiki bar/restaurant. Nice community to walk - felt very safe. Close to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and activities. Marathon does not disappoint with lots to do. We will plan to try to stay at this house again.

I had great communication with Jennifer. She was prompt to respond to questions and concerns. The Starfish house looks just like the pictures. It was very tastefully decorated with a beachy vibe. There was plenty of room for our party of 7. The cabana outside is key for keeping cool in the shade. The Cabana Club membership is a nice added bonus. We enjoyed our stay. The only thing to complain about, is we had to leave.

Great property

Had a great time visiting Key Colony again. The house was gorgeous and had most of what we needed. The house and property looked exactly like that photos. We had really good communication with the property manager... Jennifer was wonderful. A few things about the property that weren't ideal, but not big problems... I cook a lot and would've liked more substantial cooking utensils in the kitchen. Plastic//rubber spatula's, etc. don't work well in a hot skillet or with heavy meat patties, steak, etc. Ended up using the grill utensils which were big and a little awkward but got the job done. There might've been one, but couldn't find a mixer in the kitchen (found a blender but no mixer). There was a minor plumbing issue in one of the two bathrooms. Since it was just the two of us, it was almost a non-issue. We notified Jennifer and she's addressing the issue. Overall a great property and good choice for us.

Perfect Location on Key Colony

Great property in a perfect location. It suited our family of 6 well along with my wife's parents. This is one of those properties that definitely deserves a 5 star review. It pains me to give it 5 stars only because that could lead to it becoming more popular and not being available next time I want to rent it, but they definitely deserve the 5 stars in my opinion. The owner has great communication skills and the property has everything we needed for some relaxing family time. The cabana club access was a bonus to be able to enjoy the pool and private beach. I was a little worried about parking before I got there but found that my 29 ft boat fit just fine on the dock and there was ample parking out front for my trailer, truck and wife's car as well. There is a comfy tiki hut and table on the back area along with bait freezer, and kayaks. Thanks for making our trip a great success!
