Colorful Keys Family Escape by the Ocean

Summary:
Picture the first morning: the kids are still asleep, the coffee is ready, and you’re out on the balcony watching the light move across the ocean past the pool. That’s the pace this condo sets. It’s bright and full of color, with every room carrying a little island cheer, so the vacation feeling starts the moment you unlock the door and stays until you leave.

The Space:
Days here don’t take much planning. The beach chairs, loungers and beach gear are already waiting, so there’s no rental shop to find and no car to load. Spend the morning in the pool, walk over to Coco Plum Beach to look for shells, and come back whenever someone needs a snack, a nap or some shade. When the sun starts to drop, light the grill, gather around the fire pit and let the evening stretch out.

The remodeled kitchen makes eating in easy. It has modern appliances, a dishwasher and everything you need for family breakfasts, picnic lunches or a fresh catch from one of Marathon’s charter boats. Everyone fits around the table, and the living room is roomy enough for board games and movie nights on the big flat-screen when little legs have had enough sun.

Bedtime works for every kind of group. Parents get the king bedroom. Kids love the twin room, and for a small fee the twins can become a second king if two couples are traveling together. The sofa sleeper takes care of a sixth guest. Two updated bathrooms keep mornings calm, and the in-unit washer and dryer mean a week, or a whole month, is easy to pack for.

Marathon itself is part of the fun. You can visit rescued sea turtles at the Turtle Hospital, meet the dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center, paddle the mangroves at Curry Hammock State Park, or drive the Seven Mile Bridge just to say you did. If you’re arriving in an electric car, two Level 2 chargers on site let you top up overnight and explore the Keys without a second thought. Parking is free, and the complex is quiet and residential, so evenings stay peaceful.

This condo suits a spring break with the kids, a summer week of pool days, or a long winter escape from the cold. Wherever you’re coming from, it gives you color, an ocean view and the freedom to enjoy the Keys at your own pace.

Guest Access:
The whole condo is yours, along with the balcony and the Royal Plum Club pool, beach area, grills and fire pit. Free parking and two Level 2 EV chargers are on site.

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 offering seclusion and easy access to local attractions. Marathon is a quaint tropical city with several keys, 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 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:
This is a quiet residential complex, so it’s not suited to parties. Converting the twin beds to a king has a small fee; please ask before you arrive. A travel crib is available for little ones.
