Quiet Keys Hideaway for Two, a Short Stroll to Pool and Beach

Summary:
Picture the first morning: coffee on the screened balcony, a lush tropical garden in front of you, and nowhere you need to be. This cozy one-bedroom condo at Royal Plum Club in Marathon is made for two, a quiet place to slow down together with the heated pool and a small sandy beach only a short stroll away.

The Space:
If you're trading a northern winter for a few weeks of sunshine, this is a gentle place to land. Days start with a swim in the heated pool and end with a walk along the shore as the afternoon cools. The newly updated kitchen makes it easy to cook for two whenever you'd rather stay in, which keeps a long stay affordable, and with a washer and dryer you can pack light. Shawn, your host, is known for answering quickly and for local tips that guests rave about, so you'll know the best quiet restaurants before you arrive.

For couples who like to get outside, Marathon is an easy base. Curry Hammock State Park has kayaking, paddleboarding and nature trails just up the road, the Turtle Hospital and Crane Point Nature Center make easy half-day outings, and Bahia Honda's snorkelling is a short drive south. Back at the condo, the tennis and pickleball rackets are waiting, beach chairs and loungers are ready for the afternoon, and the grills and fire pit bring the day to a relaxed close.

The value is part of the appeal. Free parking, no resort fees and a full kitchen mean your budget goes on the Keys rather than on extras. If you're driving an electric car, there are chargers on the property too.

At night the king bed is the reward for a day in the sun, so you wake up rested and ready for another unhurried day.

Whether you're staying the winter, exploring the parks and the water, or slipping away for a quiet week together, this is a place where the days take care of themselves, and the pool, the beach and the garden are only ever a short stroll away.

Guest Access:
As our guest, you will enjoy complete privacy in this entire condominium apartment. You have exclusive access to your private bedroom with a king bed, a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area. Feel free to step out onto your private balcony to enjoy the fresh air or relax in the living room. Beyond your private space, you are more than welcome to enjoy the shared outdoor swimming pool and the beautiful garden areas on the property. We also provide free parking on the premises for your convenience.

The Neighborhood:
Discover the charm of Marathon, Florida, nestled in the heart of the iconic Florida Keys. At our condo, you're positioned in a prime spot that offers both seclusion and easy access to local attractions. Marathon is a quaint tropical city comprised of several keys, and it's known for its laid-back atmosphere and friendly community.

Enjoy the ease of nearby amenities such as grocery stores, charming boutiques, and delightful dining options featuring fresh seafood from the surrounding waters. For the adventure-seekers, the island offers a host of activities like deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving in the vibrant coral reefs of the Atlantic.

Coco Plum Beach is just a stone's throw away, where you can soak up the sun on the sandy shore or take a stroll through the tranquil neighborhood. Marathon's Sombrero Beach is also within easy reach, offering a picturesque setting for picnics and beachside relaxation.

For a touch of nature, visit the Turtle Hospital to learn about local conservation efforts or explore the Crane Point Museum and Nature Center, a 63-acre hardwood hammock ideal for bird-watching and hiking.

With the mainland's convenience connected via the famous Seven Mile Bridge and the joys of island life, Coco Plum offers a serene escape with the spirit of the Keys at your doorstep.

Getting Around:
You have several convenient options for getting around and exploring the area:

By Car: The most flexible way to explore Marathon and the surrounding Keys is by car. The Overseas Highway, part of U.S. Route 1, connects the islands and is the main thoroughfare. Renting a car would be ideal for those looking to discover various attractions at their own pace.

Biking: For shorter distances, especially around the neighborhood and to nearby beaches like Coco Plum Beach, biking is a great option. The area is bike-friendly, with several paths and relatively flat terrain.

Public Transportation: Monroe County provides public bus services through the Lower Keys Shuttle, taking you from Marathon to other critical points in the Florida Keys.

Walking: For those who prefer to stay local, many of Marathon's attractions, restaurants, and shops can be accessed on foot, especially within the Coco Plum area.

Boating: If you're looking to explore the surrounding waters, marinas in the area offer boat rentals. A boat is a great way to experience the beautiful oceans, go fishing, or visit nearby reefs for snorkeling and diving.

Taxis and Rideshare: Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft operate in Marathon, providing an easy way to get around without a personal vehicle.

Shuttle Services: Some local businesses and attractions offer shuttle services for guests, which could be a convenient option depending on where you plan to go.

Remember that while the island is well-connected by the Overseas Highway, having your transportation will provide the most freedom to explore the natural beauty and attractions of the Florida Keys.
