Oceanview Beach Retreat

Summary:
Imagine the first morning: the kids already asking about the beach, coffee in hand on a private balcony facing the Atlantic, and a whole week ahead with nothing that has to be planned. This relaxed, island-style condo at Royal Plum Club in Marathon was made for families and friends who want to be together without being on top of each other, in a quiet corner of the Keys, steps from Coco Plum Beach.

The Space:
The days settle into an easy rhythm. Wander down to the shoreline in the morning, come back up for lunch and a nap, and spend the afternoon in the heated pool, which stays warm all year, so a cooler winter day never cancels a swim. Evenings belong to the balcony, with the ocean breeze coming in and the day's stories being told over dinner from the full kitchen. The complex is residential and peaceful, so the soundtrack is the water rather than the neighbours.

There's space for everyone to recharge too. The king and queen bedrooms give parents or couples a calm retreat, and the twin room is perfect for kids or friends, so every night ends with a proper bed and every morning starts rested. Tommy Bahama-inspired furnishings keep the whole place feeling like a laid-back island home rather than a hotel.

If you're escaping a northern winter, this is a gentle place to stay a while. Mornings can start with a swim and end with a walk along the shore, and laundry in the building and a well-equipped kitchen make a stay of two, three, or four weeks feel effortless. When family flies in to visit, there's room for them as well.

Marathon sits right in the middle of the island chain, which makes it an easy base for exploring. Curry Hammock State Park is close by for kayaking and nature trails; the Turtle Hospital and Crane Point Nature Center make easy half-day outings; and the reefs, dive boats, and fishing charters are minutes away. Getting here is simple, with a free parking garage that keeps the car out of the sun and two Level 2 EV chargers on the property for anyone driving down the Overseas Highway in an electric car.

Whether you're bringing the family for their beach week, staying the winter, or gathering friends for a few days on the water, this is a place where the days take care of themselves and every evening ends with the ocean in front of you.

Guest Access:
You will have full private access to our entire condo, which features three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a lovely dining area. We invite you to step out onto your private balcony to enjoy the beautiful ocean views, or feel free to make use of the shared amenities on the property, such as the year round heated swimming pool and the convenient laundry facilities located within the building. For your ease and comfort, we provide a private entrance and free parking in our garage, which includes two dedicated level two electric vehicle chargers for you to use 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:
Our serene environment is best suited for guests looking to indulge in the slower pace of island life. Our condo is less suitable for those desiring a high-energy, nightlife-driven vacation.
