Summary:
Picture the first morning: you wake up after the best night's sleep you've had in months, make a coffee and take it out to the patio while the Keys come slowly to life. This updated one-bedroom condo at Royal Plum Club in Marathon was made for couples who want to rest, reconnect and leave the noise behind, set in a calm corner of the Middle Keys right on Coco Plum Beach.
The Space:
The days have no schedule to keep. Take the beach chairs and loungers down to the shore after breakfast, snorkel or fish right off the beach, come back for lunch, and spend the afternoon in the large pool, which is heated all year so a cooler winter day never rules out a swim. When the light softens, fire up the grill and carry dinner out to the patio, where the evening can stretch on as long as you like.
Sleep is where this condo really earns its reviews. Guests keep coming back to the plush king bed, and the peaceful setting means nights are quiet and mornings start rested. Inside, the space feels bright and easy, with tile floors, everything on one level, an updated kitchen with a Keurig and dishwasher, and two new flat-screen TVs for a slow night in.
If you've come to explore, you've picked the right base. Marathon sits at the heart of the island chain, so Bahia Honda's beaches, Sombrero Beach and Curry Hammock State Park are all easy outings, and Key West is close enough for a day trip without having to stay amid its crowds. Beach essentials are provided, so there's no buying gear for a single week, and a sofa sleeper makes room for a friend or two kids when the trip calls for it.
If you're driving down from the mainland, the two Level 2 EV chargers on site mean you can plug in when you arrive and stop thinking about range for the rest of the trip. Parking is free on the property, and upgraded high-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected for the odd email or planning tomorrow's adventure.
Whether you're here for a peaceful week as a couple, a few active days exploring the Keys, or an easy weekend away by car, this is a place where the beach, the pool and a good night's sleep are always within reach, and every evening ends quietly outdoors.
Guest Access:
You will have private access to the entire condo. You are also welcome to use the shared swimming pool and enjoy the grounds. Free parking is provided on the premises for your convenience.
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 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.
