Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Vaca Key

We booked this home last minute and now have our go-to vacation spot in Marathon! Alida is a friendly host with great communication. The home is very clean. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc. The kayaks and paddle board made our vacation even more special! The steet is very quiet and peaceful. The setting in the back yard is very private, as is the long dock. We had a 23' rental boat for our stay. The view is amazing and the sunsets are a special treat each evening. I very much appreciated the ample, comfortable seating everywhere - inside and outside of the home. Thank you Alida. We made great family memories here!

Cheryl’s place is in the perfect location in the heart of Islamorada. Listening to the live music on the back deck to wind down every night was an added plus! Cheryl was super accommodating & definitely thinks about bettering her guests’ stay. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

The location and access to the beach and canal was amazing! We had such a fun time with the kayaks while being able to see all the wildlife and sail boats. The house was exactly what we needed. Jose was very helpful and flexible throughout our stay.

The house was really nice, clean and a real home away from home. It accommodated my family of 5 with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. It was located on a canal where we were able to enjoy the manatees and pelicans. It was centrally located and only a short distance from the beaches, snorkeling, wind surfing and excellent restaurants. We will definitely stay again if we visit the keys

Great place right in the heart of Key Colony. House had all we needed and more to make our 8 day stay comfortable. Great boat dock with plenty of room for 2 31 ft boats.

The home was beautiful, clean, well stocked, and comfortable. It had everything we could possibly need and more. The beds were comfortable and the couch was huge and cozy. The view is spectacular, we spent every morning out on the patio with our coffee. The property is in the perfect location as well, making everything in Marathon no more than 8 minutes away. It was the perfect get away for our little family (fur baby included).

Wonderful home on canal that opens up to gulf. The home had everything that was described and was comfortable with AC. Cannot think of anything we needed that was not there. Terrific views from balcony. Saw lots of wildlife including manatees and the iguanas were fun to watch. There was a double and a single kayak to use as well as bikes to get around as the traffic was busy. There are close neighbors next door but they were quiet. If you want a place to relax, this fits the bill.

We had a great time at Lazaro’s place. The kids were all entertained with the games inside and the pool outdoors. It was clean and comfortable. Our stove oven did not work so they went and bought a tabletop oven for us the following day! We thought that was so nice of them so we can bake! The location was fantastic because it was near the beach and Publix. I would say maybe having more beach equipment to use would make it perfect but we didn’t mind since we bought the sand toys and cooler at Publix. Overall, we had a grand time at his place and enjoyed our visit to the keys!

These villas are a wonderful place to stay. Very peaceful and quiet. Felt very safe.

The house was great. Close boat ramps to put the boat in not far from the house. Everything was as described or better/bigger than expected. Enjoyed our stay here.

This spot was great! The home is spacious, incredibly comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. It’s located at the very end of an inlet, offering a waterfront setting but I wouldn't call it picturesque. While we didn’t have a boat, it looked like getting one in and out would be easy for an experienced boater. The house was spotless—you can tell a lot of care goes into keeping it clean. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, with soft sheets that made for a great night’s sleep. Everything related to rest and relaxation was truly top-notch. The home is well-stocked with basic necessities for living, though if you have specific cooking preferences or comfort items, you should make a quick trip to the store. The neighborhood is very quiet, with the exception of some occasional noise from the nearby airport—but that’s just part of being in Marathon. Parking was easy, the pool was great, and everything matched the description perfectly. We highly recommend

Regina and Captain Rob were great hosts! They gave us local recommendations and communicated well! We had such a great time using the tiki bar and the pool. It was our first trip with our baby and the place even had a crib for us to use. Would definitely return!

the house was beautiful & the host had very clear instructions and answered any questions we had. perfect location. manatees came right up to our dock of the house! don’t provide a ton of amenities for the price of the house but everything else made it worth it. we had the best vacation!

Alex and Vikki are very friendly and proactive in their communication. The place is around 40 minutes away from Key West. Very good price given the location. It’s quiet at night and there’s a gas station, small market and restaurant nearby. Will totally recommend this place for anyone looking for an affordable place to stay but easy to get into Key West.

Our stay was fantastic, great location and view. The house is set up perfectly if you have several people staying.

John is a Super Host to us. He was very easy to communicate with. We had an issue at the house and he had it dealt with before lunch the next day. Unexplainably, we ended up leaving our fish rods in the back porch area (out of site out of mind?). John gathered them up and his wife took them to UPS to get them packed and sent back to us. Well above and beyond anything we could have expected. Our thanks to both of them.

Perfect weekend getaway for us at this Duck Key townhouse! The views from the balcony were lovely, the accommodations inside the unit were comfortable and clean, and our host Gabriel was extremely responsive and helful when answering our questions. Would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a great stay in the Keys!

Great Home, great location and great host! Our family enjoyed our week in Marathon at this home. Perfect location! We loved the house, pool and the dock for our boat. Will definitely return. Jay was a great host, very responsive to any need and was helpful with recommendations!

Hello. We Booked this place so I could be in the sun on a lounge chair and husband could fish. It was exactly what we wanted. We were able to hang out together and both get what we wanted. He caught fish like crazy! Place is beautiful and exactly how described. Getting an Uber/lyft was easy. Sombrero Beach was beautiful. Ana was excellent to communicate with. Condo bed was very comfy and the bedroom dark. The use of a cooler and beach chairs was appreciated. Would not hesitate to book again.

Despite rain and windy weather the first part of the week, we had a relaxing and fun time. Really loved the tiki in the backyard, and watching manatee and tarpon in the canal. The home was lovingly decorated with personal artwork and clean. The hosts were very accommodating and quickly responded to questions. We also liked that we could walk to restaurants, and the grocery stores were also nearby.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights, and we brought our dogs. We had a fabulous time and loved the Tropical Cottages! Clean, cute, and had everything we needed. Very dog friendly as advertised. Great location too. The tiki bar and taco truck are added bonuses. I would definitely book here again and recommend to friends, with or without their pups!

We had a fabulous stay at Orchid House , the master bed was comfortable , the screen porch awesome and we loved the Morning Sun ! Fire pit was great , heads up tho , you may need to go ahead and hook up that New propane tank as the last renters likely used up the current . Eclectic and comfortable is my best description , I actually created art in this space , that was great !

the pictures do not do this home justice. we were pleasantly surprised by it's size. the beds were extremely comfortable. the lani was amazing.. we spent so much time out there, eating, playing games and just enjoying the quietness. the boat slip was an added bonus as we did have a boat for 3 days. we were there over christmas and had a surprise visit from a santa and fire dept. parade. we were also visited by a manatee and a turtle in the canal by the yard. I highly recommend going to the island fish co. for lunch or dinner. food and drinks were great. coco plum beach was a walk away small but so pretty. all in all brian, jim and their loved ones were such great hosts we hated to leave.. but we will be back!

Great place to stay with my husband and son. We fished off the dock in the back. We had great neighbors. Access to the Cabana Club was great, we spent a few days there. Located near lots of restaurants. Will definitely be back!
