Top Vaca Key Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, Marathon Florida Keys

10/10 Excellent

"The pool is beautiful and I really enjoyed the morning beachside yoga!"

Faro Blanco Resort Marathon Florida Keys, Curio by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice pools. Staff was great. We will be returning."

Captain Pips Marina & Hideaway

8/10 Good

"Cory, Sahra , Marry Ann are great staff . They are very customer focused. Linda was very nice and helpful."

Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property is well kept and extremely clean. One of the cleanest I have ever seen to my delight. The restaurant's menu was amazing and the food fresh and delicious. The only thing I wasn't happy was the fees and extra expenses that appeared out of the blue at the check out...In my opinion those things should have been included in the reservation. Overall the experience was outstanding."

Knight's Key Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very well equipped house just need a couple of improvements like new houses and water connections on front of the house for washing the boat trailer , in general is a great place and location."

4BR 3BATH, HEATED POOL, DOCK, Condé Nast Traveler's Best Marathon Rental

10/10 Excellent

"Andy was one of the best hosts we've had. He was quick to respond to any communiations and was friendly and welcoming. He was able to address some concerns that were out of his control with alternative solutions which is rare to find. Everything was clean and bright throughout the space. The pool was refreshing after a long day out on the water. We absolutely loved the kitchen with all the space for multiple chefs at once. The covering on the top floor terrace as shown in the photos was not there but moved to the bottom patio, but since it was hot out, we took advantage of the terrace inthe evening instead for sunsets and stars. When we plan on returning to Marathon, we will definitley see if this rental is available as the location was fantastic and just a short way to the seven mile bridge."

Marathon Oceanfront Suite | Balcony + 2 Luxe Baths

10/10 Excellent

"Great property and staff. The location is great for seeing different things in the keys."

Wow!!! Deep Water Canal, Swimspa Pool, Kayaks, Walk to Ocean Front Tiki Bar!!

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely fantastic stay with our family of 5. The kayaks and swim spa are amenities that made it even more enjoyable. Kathy was very communicative and everything was as described. We didn’t need anything outside of what was already on property. Dining on the screened in porch with our fresh caught lobsters was a highlight. We spent good time on the canal lot itself just fishing and talking, with a chubby little manatee as a visitor one afternoon! All in all, a great spot to book and I highly recommend."
