2 Br Villa Vacation Rental In Marathon, Florida

Welcome to our tropical Conch Cottage, a lovely place to create memories on your idyllic Florida Keys vacation in paradise. Our stylish waterfront villa sits alongside a clear turquoise canal on picturesque Duck Key, inside the Hawk's Cay resort, and just 10 minutes from busy Marathon. Get involved in on-site activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, boating and dolphin encounters—or simply lay out on the coral stone patio, soak up the sun, and slide into your private plunge pool

The Space

Walk through the front door and your eye is immediately pulled outside into the amazing tropical environment. Our villa features a large, lovely and private coral-stone patio and deep plunge pool overlooking a stunning aquamarine canal.

Downstairs is the fully-equipped open-plan kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), a Keurig / drip coffeemaker and everything else you’ll need to prepare a great meal. The kitchen leads to a handy powder room, a formal dining table and living space with a 55-inch Smart TV and big three-seater sofa that folds out into a queen bed.

A carpeted stairway leads upstairs to both bedrooms. One overlooks the canal and features a queen sized bed, flat-screen Smart TV, an ample closet and a full en-suite bathroom. The other bedroom has a queen bed, flat-screen Smart TV and walk-in closet and French doors opening onto a cute covered porch. An additional full bath is off the hallway.

Guest Access

The entire house, private outdoor patio and side yard are yours to enjoy, and there’s plenty of free unassigned parking just outside the villa. Hawks Cay rules limit two vehicles per villa and do not permit trailers in any of the public parking areas. Slips and trailer space can be rented at the Duck Key Marina. Main entry will be via the front door and you will receive a code for the keypad just before you’re due to check in. (You must not, under any circumstances, share this code with anyone.)

Please note that our villa is privately owned, so you won’t have access to any of Hawks Cay’s pools or the Coral Cay kid’s club. But you can still partake in amazing public amenities such as Dolphin Connection, a full-service marina, the resort’s several waterfront restaurants and bars, the Calm Waters Spa and even visit the resort’s fitness center (access available to spa patrons). Water sports enthusiasts can also enjoy parasailing trips and fishing charters and easily rent boats, kayaks and paddle boards. Please note that there is no dockage at the house itself. Please contact either the Hawks Cay Marina or the Duck Key Marina for availability. They're both minutes from the cottage.

Other Things
We will offer a full refund to our guests if a hurricane evacuation is required and/or suggested for our area. However, we will not provide a refund for inclement weather, nor for bad weather associated with hurricanes. If you are concerned about hurricanes ruining your stay, we recommend purchasing additional travel insurance and/or booking during non-hurricane season.

We are year-round residents of the Keys and are always a text or phone call away. Right before your stay, we will send along the Conch Cottage Manual, which will contain Allegra and Michael’s telephone numbers, as well as additional emergency numbers, lists of things to do and other helpful information.

While we stock our villa with some very handy starter-essentials (extra towels, a couple of coffee, laundry and dishwasher pods and one roll of paper towels, for example), please understand that our home is not a hotel and our guests will be responsible for making any replenishments beyond what we've provided.

Located in Marathon, this villa is on the waterfront. Keys Cable Park and Captain Hooks Marina and Dive Center are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Sombrero Beach and Curry Hammock State Park. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and ecotours nearby.
