Summary:
Welcome to your happy place in paradise! Our oceanfront villa is located on Duck Key right outside of Marathon and next to the world famous Hawks Cay Resort. Halfway between Key Largo and Key West, it’s the perfect location to explore all our island paradise has to offer. Enjoy world class fishing, diving and snorkeling or kick back with a cold beverage and enjoy a stunning sunset on one of our covered porches. And always remember…it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!!

The Space:
Right when you enter the villa, you are greeted by an abundance of day (or shall we say sun) light. Downstairs you find the fully equipped gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and everything you need to prepare a delicious home cooked meal (with all the world class dining options around you might not want to though). The open kitchen leads to the living room with rustic beach decor, ocean views, smart TV, games and covered porch to soak in that sun (-set). There is also a half bath and sleeper sofa for two downstairs. A short flight of stairs takes you to the master bedroom with queen bed, en-suite bathroom and a covered oceanfront porch. A second bedroom with a queen bed, en-suite bathroom and washer/dryer combo is located upstairs.

While our tiny villa can accommodate up to 6 people, we think the ideal group size is 4.
