Waterfront Duplex with Shared Pool & Beach Access, 35-ft Dock

Breezy Palms & Tropical Charm

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Treat the whole crew to a vacation they won't forget when you book your next family getaway or group retreat at this bayfront Key Colony Beach duplex with accommodations for everyone. This rental includes two separate rentals combined into one with easy water access from a 35-foot dock and access to the local Cabana Club with a pool and a private beach.

Set right on a picturesque inlet of the Key Colony Bay, you'll be just a short walk from dining destinations, Key Colony Beach Golf Course, and the Cabana Club with a pool and a small beach.

As the combination of two separate rentals - Breezy Palms and Tropical Charm, this getaway can be booked separately for smaller groups, or together for everyone to enjoy.

The Spanish-tiled floors and comfy leather couches invite you to come lounge after a long day on the water. Surf the cable channels on the flatscreen HDTV while the washer/dryer takes care of the laundry. Pop in a DVD and get everyone together for a laughter-filled movie night.

On hot Florida days, the central A/C will keep you nice and cool while you plan your next adventure. Put on some background music on the stereo and sip a fresh-brewed cup of coffee while you connect to the WiFi to send off that last work email.

Make yourself a tropical cocktail and head out on the deck to take in the water views and unwind in the sea breeze. Grab the fresh catch of the day and fire up the gas BBQ to grill up a delicious dish for the whole crew. Keep the party outside with some tunes and a night cap as the stars come out.

If grilling isn't your thing, you'll have access to two kitchens so dinner will be done in half the time. With plenty of seating and dining options, everyone will be able to spread out and enjoy the meal.

Book a parasailing adventure, or stay a little closer to the ground with a stand-up paddleboard, or maybe something a little faster like a jet ski. Head to the Cabana Club for a dip in the shared pool, a snack at the pool-side cafe, or a little bit of sunbathing on the private beach.

Treat everyone to a stress-free, fun-filled getaway when you book your bayside escape to this expansive Florida Keys home.

Nice place for the money
Nice place for the cost, wish there was more outdoor furniture and the cabana club where you can use the pool and beach access was nice but had a lot of rules and was not open passed 5pm during the week and closed at 7pm on weekends but it was nice to have access to the ocean and beach somewhat close. Over all we had a good stay

Key colony beach is not the most welcoming
We had the police called on us at 9 pm while enjoying dinner on the patio for laughing too loudly. There is a neighbor two houses down who became disruptive to the group, even coming over to our property and up the balcony. He was very intoxicated. The property was nice for boat access, we caught tuna every day. Not may lobster in the area at all. Key Colony Beach is just not friendly to visitors/guests. I’m an adult and was skateboarding my dog around the neighborhood for our morning exercise and I was stopped by a police officer, I guess I was out of place and I wanted.

WOULDN’T STAY AGAIN
Arriving to the property the house is a different color than the listing photos(I mean completely different) so deferent that we went to next door neighbors house on accident (it looks more like the pictures than the actual house does). Once we got settled in the home we found out that the thermostat is locked to a window of 74-80 degrees so if you like your home to be on the cool side stay AWAY because the thermostat can be controlled remotely and the temperature was changed nightly to 80degrees (not buy us). We would wake up in the middle of the night sweating and had to keep turning the temperature back down just to sleep. The power reclining sofas aren’t operational, the cords have been removed so they don’t recline. We found a lot of sand and dust bunnies under the couch when we moved it to get something. Also the cleaning company left old moldy wet laundry in the washing machine,(the house was supposedly cleaned the day of our arrival). I would like to mention that If you rent both houses for a big family, there is no way to go between houses. You have to go up and down stairs to get to the other half of the house. None of the doors in the upstairs of one side of the duplex closed all the way unless you slam them, along with the shower doors. The location is great but the house desperately needs periodic maintenance and you can tell it’s not getting it. You can’t use the jacuzzi bathtubs in the house. I know it’s not technically listed in the add but the pictures of them in the add are very misleading. They are taped up in the house with signs “Do not use tub”. We also found mice in the house. But like I said the location is great

Excellent location and space for large group rented both units
Great location and space but both Units 521 and 531 are in need of some serious updates and maintenance. Not happy with the Vacasa mgmt. company when looking for help with issues we had with both units- unit 521 needs some updates and maintenance inside and out- grill is about rusted through and falling apart- issues with stove top in 531 , toilets didn’t flush properly- closet doors and bedroom doors in both units are in need of replacement- slider door in 521 would not lock. Called first day about trash left from a previous renter that was not recycled and picked up- which I immediately called garbage Company after I was left notice and had to wait over an hour on hold to speak with a Vacasa Rep. I sent a few e-mails to The Vacasa site but never received any response or call back after wanting to bring attention to the things we found. Sofa recliner in 521 would not recline- I felt the “SERVICE” from Mgmt. Company was lacking to say the least. As a renter you want to be sure they are advised of problems “before” you get situated and comfortable so they know it was An issue before you ever got in the Unit - with that there was no such assistance or help.

Large family gathering
Large, spacious duplex, located on a canal that worked great for docking a rental boat. The duplex needs an upgrade, doors hard to open and close, interior doors don't all latch, the place overall shows it's age, doesn't appear there is any preventive maintenance, issues only fixed as needed. Property manager was quick to deal with a couple of issues upon checking in. It served our purpose, but was over priced for the quality, even for holiday rates.

Vaca in Vacasa
We had both sides for the week. The house is in a great location. We had a great time and enjoyed our time staying here very much. Suggestion for the future: eliminate the ant problem, the dock area needs fender/bumpers to protect boats from damage, and a gate on the adjoined porch so that when the whole house is used by one group there is easy access to the neighboring sides. The biggest issue we had was a local resident 2 doors down. He complained and called the police. Trying to get us into trouble. I and everyone with me on our stay here are police and fire, needless to say, we were innocent of all his accusations. After a conversation with the local law enforcement the situation was cleared up. Just be aware of a local resident who apparently doesnt like having new neighbors every week.

We enjoyed our stay. There were a couple issues. The refrigerator wasn't real cold on 531 side. We had ant issues on both sides. The door knob to leave side 521 was off so couldn't exit. Wifi was low on 521 side. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time and loved having the canal behind us for the boat we rented. We would stay here again!

Had a great time there. It was large enough to accommodate all my family.
The good: it is worth the money to rent. The neighbors are incredibly awesome. Lots of dishes and silverware. Plenty of towells. Great location. The bad: not enough dish rags. Lights not working. Missing light shades. Had a hard time getting keys out of lockboxes. Would've been nice to know ahead of time about the beach and pool being closed. Patio doors hatd to open and close. With everything going on, with the few things wrong, i would gladly rent again.
