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

Great location- can accommodate large group

We had a great time staying at Key Colony. Our week flew by. Some in our group used the beach club, some walked to the farmers market on Tuesday, some went to the happy hour at the Key Colony Inn. We cooked most nights and rented a pontoon boat that we tied to the dock. We love Key Colony. This year there were 10 adults- aged 40s-60s, mostly couples and we rented both sides of the duplex.We did have a bad experience with hot water in the upstairs master bathroom shower - as there was none. The rest was fine.I rented the unit through VRBO which was hosted by Vacasa. Vacasa made it seem like I should only talk to them. Apparently if I reported the incident during my stay to VRBO, they would have compensated me for the inconvenience. However because I called 15 minutes after checkout, VRBO could do nothing. I called Vacasa 3 days of my stay and took the option of texting on a different day. They did send someone out on the first day I called but when I let Vacasa know that it wasn’t fixed, nothing else happened to resolve the issue. Bottom line- Vacasa’s customer service is poor and if you have a problem during a VRBO stay - don’t wait, report it immediately or they can’t help you according to their policy. Even 15 minutes after checkout, they will tell you it’s too late.

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.

Perfect for large families

This is the second time we have rented this house. It is great for large groups. I love the parking under the house, plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen has windows all around so you can look out over the canal and enjoy the beautiful views. This is an older house and could use some upgrades. Upstairs the sliding glass door leaks water and bugs come and go as they please. All the mattresses are low quality, hard to sleep on for adults. The bedding is also old and needs upgrading. There were not enough bath towels or wash cloths. You'll need to buy plastic wear at the store, there are 4 forks and 6 spoons on each side. We love Key Colony, having access to the Cabana Club, and a place to.dock.our boat.

Prime location and lots of space! Will be back!

These units were such an ideal place for our large family. It was spacious and stocked with necessities. The parking was wonderful for both cars and boats. One of our favorite parts was access to The Cabana Club! We definitely plan on staying here again.

Perfect Family Getaway

Rented both sides. 5 couples and 3 grandkids. So much space for all of us to be together and have our own space as well. Did 3 days of deep see fishing and the grills were in great condition with plenty of propane, even a spare bottle. Just keep in mind that there are no spices, food wraps and very scarce storage containers for the fridge. Pots and pans need updating but we made due. A lot of non stick that is all peeling off so we couldn’t use those. We spent a lot of time on the back porches and really enjoyed the dock with the grandkids. Saw manatees a few times and the kids were able to catch some really cool fish. Even saw a pretty large nurse shark swim by. The whole family loved the cabana club, beach was great and the pool was perfect. A few of the adults enjoyed the pitch and put that is directly across the street. Would definitely go back again!!

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!

Great for our families!

Loved the size and the location. We rented both units. It worked very well for our families. The kids especially loved access to the Cabana club with the pool. I loved the canal to park the boat. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues but these were corrected promptly by the management agency. One improvement would be a gate on the porch between units so that families renting both could more easily go between units.
