This was our second stay, and we are just as pleased this time as we were the first. The home is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a week of fun and relaxation. The sunrise views are absolutely beautiful, and the turf grass is such a nice touch, it made sitting outside even more enjoyable. Mellisa is always responsive and helpful with any questions. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back.This location is prime for its beautiful views, a varity of dining options, outdoor activities in a laid-back community that you will feel safe in.

Relaxing Keys Getaway

We had an excellent stay at the Half Duplex. We visit the Keys about every other year and this place was perfect for my husband, myself and our friend. Key Colony is a great location and the house was just what we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the kayaks as well as the bikes. The Sunrises from the dock or the porch every morning were simply amazing. The host was great to work with and quick to answer questions.

Relaxing Water Views!

We had a relaxing week in KCB with beautiful water views. The back porch is a comfortable place to watch the sun come up with a cup of coffee, and it was great to have beach chairs and kayaks available for use. The location was perfect for exploring the Keys from Islamorada to Key West; nothing was a far drive. The bedrooms and baths have been nicely updated and we found the king bed to be very comfortable. Melissa checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and was quick to respond to our questions.
