House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 5)

This spacious duplex is located in a tropical paradise. The property is on 11th Street, facing east, on the island city of Key Colony Beach at MM 54 in the Middle Keys (near Marathon).

This is a canal-front unit with a 37-foot dock, fish cleaning table with light, and easy access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The home features a large, 29-foot screened porch fronting the canal (great place to dine), two bedrooms, two baths, great room, carport and laundry room.

The master bedroom has a queen and a single bed, and the guest bedroom has two double beds. Each bedroom has it's own full bathroom. The unit has been remodeled with a new kitchen, new baths, comfortable furnishings/beds, central air and heat, tile in the kitchen and baths, and carpet elsewhere.

Key Colony Beach is an island city that offers a quiet, tropical setting with excellent restaurants, boat rentals, charter boats, par three golf, tennis, basketball court, children's park, and resort-type shopping all within walking distance.

Lovely, comfortable, immaculate

5 of 5
Submitted: December 30, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
I stayed here with a friend and our moms and my friend's sister over Xmas, and it was perfect! The house is clean and comfortable, located in a quiet, safe community, and stocked with everything you might need - beach towels, bikes, spices in the cupboard, dishes galore, etc. We did much of our cooking at home, but also enjoyed meals at the Keys Fisheries (stone crab claws), Blue Heaven in Key West, and the nearby 7 Mile Marina. We did some fishing in the canal, were visited by egrets and pelicans, went to Curry Hammock State Park (the thatch palm nature trail is a must), and Bahia Honda, watched the sunset every night, either from Key West or from the 12th St. park right in Key Colony Beach, and saw the Key deer on Big Pine Key. We really couldn't have asked for a better house or a better vacation. Fran was always very responsive to our questions, and we very much enjoyed the photo book on the coffee table that explained the history of the "little house in the Keys" and the family photos, etc. I sort of hate to rave so much because I want to think it'll be free the next time we want to visit, but I just can't say enough about this house, its location, and the amenities. What a treasure of a place. Thanks again, Fran!

Fran's place is fantastic. My wife and I stayed with our two 16 year old nephews from the UK and loved every minute. The owners are so helpful, the booking and payment process was refreshingly easy with plenty of correspondence. Fran's place is like home from home, everything you could ever want. It is immaculate, exceptionally clean with so much thought and effort gone into establishing such a lovely holiday home. My nephews particularly enjoyed the fishing from the dock at the house, we had numerous BBQ's and they enjoyed the use of the bikes to and from the beach.
I cannot recommend Frans place enough, both my wife and I have travel all over the world and we have never been this spoilt, a lucky find. It is in such a peaceful location, we spent many an evening sat on the dock with a glass of wine just wish we could have stayed longer.

Fran's place was perfect!!! House was clean and had everything you needed and then some.House is nicer then the pictures!! Loved the kitchen/living room layout. Easy access with our boat to get in and out whether it was Atlantic or gulf side..Nice path for us to do our morning jog up to traffic light and back.. Bonus nice coffee shop on way back :) We would recommend this place its quiet with nice location to stores,shops and restaurants... Robbie's for tarpon feeding only 20 mins away.. Bought a lobster trap picture frame there. Fran does a wonderful job of making sure you have a nice time and tells you to call her if you need anything before during or after your vacation at her place.

Comfy and Clean

Fran's place was comfortable, clean and situated in the middle of the Keys for easy access to both North and South. My three friends and I had a great week, spent a couple of days at Inch Beach enjoying the calm, warm water and shade of the trees. We watched a sunset at Sunset point, did the airboat ride in the everglades and drove down to Key West. It was a great trip and a great place to stay.
The only negative was that we were not able to use the beautiful porch since the wind did not reach it and it was so hot and still. Fran said she would remedy that in the future with a fan for the porch. She was great to work with and everything was just as she promised.

FransPlace is wonderfull, it is so very good we have booked up again already for May 2013.
Fishing every evening from the dock, and of course the Herons and Egret visiting most days to make it a a perfect place to relax,
We have stayed in the Keys many times and Key Colony is great for everything, shops close by resturants and bars all in walking distance, bait and tackle shop on the marina with Vacation boat rentals just next door to Sparkys bar and resturant.
