Quiet Garden Escape by the Beach

Summary:
Picture the first morning: coffee in hand, a calm garden outside the window, and the heated pool a few steps away, warm enough for a swim whatever the month. This freshly updated two-bedroom condo at Royal Plum Club sits in a quiet corner of Marathon, close to Coco Plum Beach and away from the busy marinas and tourist strips. It's made for slowing down together.

The Space:
Families find it works because everyone has their own space. Parents get the king master, the kids get the twin room, and the sleeper sofa takes care of a sleepover friend or a visiting grandparent. Two bathrooms keep mornings calm. The kitchen, with its new appliances, turns breakfasts, beach picnics and evening cookouts into shared time instead of another restaurant bill.

Days drift between the pool and the water. Snorkel gear, beach chairs, sun loungers and sports equipment are all here, so you can leave the bulky gear at home. Coco Plum is a natural Keys shoreline with shallow water and good low-tide exploring, so bring water shoes, and wide, sandy Sombrero Beach is a short drive away. When the sun goes down, the grills and fire pit bring everyone back together outside.

Couples driving down in an EV can relax about range, with two Level 2 chargers on the property and free garage parking. From here the whole island chain is open to you, from Key West for the day to snorkelling at Bahia Honda State Park. A dedicated workspace and Wi-Fi mean a long weekend can stretch into a working week.

If you're escaping the northern winter for a month or more, the rhythm here is easy to settle into: a morning swim in the heated pool, a walk along the water, groceries and the pharmacy a short drive away, and quiet evenings in a community without boat trailers or party crowds.

Whether you're bringing the kids for their spring-break beach week, driving down for a few quiet days for two, or staying the winter, this is a place where the days take care of themselves and every evening ends with the quiet lull of ocean waves.

Guest Access:
Guests have full private access to this entire two bedroom condominium. You will enjoy complete privacy in your apartment, which includes a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living and dining area, and a private patio perfect for relaxing. In addition to your private living spaces, you are welcome to enjoy the shared resort amenities, including the outdoor swimming pool and the convenient laundry facilities located on the premises. Free parking is available for your convenience during your stay.

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.

Other Things to Note:
Please note, our serene retreat is designed for relaxation and is not suitable for boating or trailer parking, ensuring a peaceful environment for all guests. Embrace the essence of the Keys with us, where every sunset is an invitation to unwind and every sunrise a new beginning.
