Second time in this rental, and we loved it again. Well cared for and a great location. We will definitely rent this one, again and again.
We booked our stay after combing through dozens of places. This little gem was just what we needed. It was clean, fully equipped, has an adorable pool and a place to dock our boat. It’s also located in the middle of Marathon so it is close to everything. Buyer beware—it says it sleeps 4 people but that you can make special requests for extra guests. However, this property really only means 4 people. No exceptions.
The pictures do not do this place justice. The water is seriously out your door. We had a couple of concerns based off the reviews. The kitchen sink was replaced. Grill was brand new and had 2 new tanks of gas. Pool was clean. Great central location for day trips to Key West. Would definitely stay here again.
My wife and I along with another couple had a great week at Flamingo Nook and the KCB-Marathon area. Flamingo Nook was perfect for four people. Kitchen was well equipped, beds slept well, plenty of towels including beach towels.
The staff at Key Colony Beach Realty were excellent to work with. Thanks to Casey and Tyler for answering my questions and communicating when we could get in, etc. The Cabana Club was a nice plus! Large pool, nice little beach, good bar for an adult beverage and excellent staff.
The pool at Flamingo Nook was a great plus. It was nice to cool off and relax after an afternoon on the boat. Dockage is good with the tide slide mooring setup. Dock was big enough for a 21-foot boat with no problem.
All in all, it was a very good vacation. We would stay at Flamingo Nook again.
Please read ALL of review and not just concerns/cons. Thank you.1). Cons/issues: a). Pool was not cleaned (maintenance schedule(?) or weather timing(?) with a small metal spring and a metal angle bracket found in pool to which I removed, and the pool pump had known issues that were needing to be fixed (LOUD). b). First bathroom sink drain was draining slow and toilet ball valve slow-leaked. c). In the hall up on the wall near the first bathroom was some bare wiring (missing smoke alarm?). The next day after reporting the pool issue, maintenance came in and wired/connected the emergency light to the bare wire. d). After pool pump was fixed, pool heater no longer worked. e). After pool pump was fixed, outside lights along the palm trees and the mini-putt no longer worked.2). Pros: a). Communication with Chandler was friendly and prompt. b). Pool pump was fixed. c). Bathroom concerns were fixed promptly. d). Nice place.If pool heater and outdoor/outside lights are fixed, my wife and I would not hesitate to stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
The home was very clean and maintained well The pool was awesome! The tile floors throughout tended to be very slippery - it would be helpful to add some rugs or runners. The quality of the living room/dining room furniture was disappointing as it was old and not comfortable. However the beds were very comfortable. The unit was well stocked.

This is the 4th year my husband and I have stayed at Flamingo Nook. The location is ideal. It is a lovely house. Just as pictured and described. The screened addition with a table for 6 is very comfortable; a great place to eat or play cards or games or just conversation. The yard is great! A nice pool to cool off and shade provided by the tiki. There are also bikes available for use as well as a putting green.

Great spot for a boys week of fun and fishing. The stay was perfect even with a hurricane close by. Place was clean with plenty of amenities. Love how the tie ups to the pilings went up and down during tides to keep boat safe.

The Flamingo Nook was perfect for our week stay. Wry clean and had everything we needed inside. The pool is perfect for hanging out in - land they have a chiller keeping temp at 89 degrees. The dock was great easy to tie off to the. Bait freezer is perfect. They do need to replace the putting green artificial grass. I would recommend and I will stay there again. The rental company is awesome, my wife left her bathing suit behind. When we got home she realized what she did , she called the rental company they found the bathing suit and mailed it back to us -

Our second year was just as good as the first and we just booked again for next year! This place offers everything you need for a home away from home!
One of the best places we have stayed in KCB. We stayed at Flamingo Nook for 2 weeks. The place is beautiful! The pool, the screened porch and the entire home is beautiful! You can tell it has recently been refurbished and that the owners take pride in their home! We have already booked for 2026! Thanks for a great vacation!
The place was very nice and we really enjoyed it. Would love to return next year.
