This Oceanfront Resort HAS IT ALL!!
Fantastic 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo resort. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean from the patio just steps from the white sandy beach. Make sure you head out to the pier each evening at sunset to see picture postcard views.
This condo suite is updated with all new furniture and boasts two large bedrooms and two private baths. In the Master Suite, there is a King sized bed along with dresser, night stands, large closet and big screen TV. Wake up each morning to the rolling surf just outside your sliding doors to the patio. The Guest Suite has two Twin beds (conversion to King upon request) as well as dresser, night stand, large closet and big screen TV. The living room features a sleeper sofa, recliner, and additional seating as well as a big screen TV. High speed internet/WiFi provided.
The full kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare a romantic gourmet meal, or just Margaritas! There is a washer and dryer located in the unit as well as central air conditioning and remote controlled ceiling fans throughout. This is a very comfortable layout for couples or a family.
Relax on your private beach or beside the temperature-controlled swimming pool. Stroll out to our private fishing pier and throw your line in to catch the best fish in the Keys. (fishing gear is provided) Choose your dining pleasure locally at 4 seafood restaurants within .25 miles. You are also within walking distance to multiple charter fishing opportunities and a dive shop to head out and enjoy the water for a day.
Casa Clara Resort boasts private tennis courts on-site, and a nine-hole golf course is less than a mile away.
Nearly ALL listed activities are within walking/cycling distance from the resort, with a designated bike lane throughout the island for you to walk, run, cycle or rollerblade.
Airplane and Helicopter Sightseeing tours located within 1 mile. Power boat rentals are a short walk/bike away.
For your pleasure, bicycles are provided during your entire stay!!
If you'd like to spend the day sightseeing in the Keys, there are many options to choose from. Key West is only an hour drive to the south. Or head north to the Dolphin Research Center or to Theatre of the Sea where you can enjoy a variety of tours, shows and sea life encounters. In Marathon, daily tours are offered at The Turtle Hospital, Crane Point Natural Hammock, or the Pigeon Key historic site.
Love the area. Beautiful grounds, warm pool, nice beach, fishing pier and people were very friendly. Key Colony Beach is a wonderful island with many activities going on. We enjoyed the tennis and pickleball courts. We did not use the bikes provided since we brought our own, but they are very nice. The condo definitely needs updating. Living room sofa was not comfortable. Bathrooms are very small. Primary bed was comfortable. Kitchen is stocked well. Appliances worked great except there is no ice maker. We were very disappointed in the sliding doors. The primary bedroom doors did not work at all, never able to use. The living room doors were very hard to open even after we cleaned the tracks. We had to run the A/C the whole time because we couldn't open doors or use the screens. Living room doors were the main doors we used since they walked out to a nice little patio. Owner said he will fix doors when he comes down next time.
First of all, the condo is managed by the owner who lives out of state. Therefore any issues we had we had to contact him by phone. He had no one in the area that could do routine maintenance. I gave one star for cleanliness of the Condo do to the fact that upon our arrival we walked into the unit and found it had not been cleaned after the previous renter had left that morning. After phones calls with the owner we managed to work out the matter. He stated we would get a credit for that night, and $100 for a nice dinner. Housekeepers showed up the next day at 6PMâish and left around 7PMâish. The closet door in the master was off the track, the blinds on the second bedroom window were on the floor, the patio door in the master we could not get open or the blinds on it. The screen on the patio door in the living room was torn and did not open very easily. These are minor repairs but when there is no one down there to take care of the fixes it is very disturbing. Communication with the owner was very good, but again he could not fix anything for us while we were there for 15 days. The location is great, the complex is great, the people staying in other units were great. The owner has offered a discount for 2024 if we wish to come down again. We are still thinking about his offer. Having just gone through the pandemic, the fact that we were in a place that the previous renters had just left 6 hours before us was disturbing. The upside was that the owner was at least easy to communicate with, he was very apologetic as well as embarrassed. WE were lucky that the previous renters had left the unit neat, the kitchen was tidy no dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The management of the complex has nothing to do with the unit we were in as the owner uses VRBO and not them to rent the unit. The time there was heavenly, 80 + degrees, blue sky, bright sun NO RAIN for 15 days.
My husband and I stayed in the 2 bedroom 2 bath fully furnished apartment and enjoyed every minute of it. Very relaxing and quiet. My only complaint is bathroom size. They are small with little counter space. Kitchen was very nice and I love having washer/dryer in the apartment. We will definitely be back!
I would love to give this property 5 stars because it truly has a lot of good things going for it. But, the two negatives made sleeping very hard, so that drops the overall score way down.
Pros:
* The location is really great. Key Colony Beach is super laid back and easy going place.
* Casa Clara (the complex) is very beautifully kept up and a quiet and very safe complex.
* the unit itself was pretty clean.
* the property manager was quick to respond and check in and check out were so easy (big plus!)
* the kitchen is nicely equipped with good appliances and everything you need
* the furniture (excluding the bedrooms) is very clean and seems new
* while the unit isnât ocean view (unless you sit in the one dining room chair that can see the reflection of the ocean in the mirrored wall), there is a nice little patio where you can see the ocean and the ocean and pool are just steps away.
Now for the negatives:
* the bedrooms leave a lot to be desired. The beds are terribly uncomfortable - and not like everyone has a different taste in beds bad, but as in super uncomfortable. (We even tried sticking blankets and towels on the master bed but could still feel springs and ridges in the bed)
* the bedrooms need black out curtains! There is an exterior hallway right outside the master and then walkway lights right outside the second room. You can literally read a book in the middle of the night without turning on a light (I know, I tested it out when I was awake at 3am as if LT felt like it was sunrise in the room). Even if the HOA requires the white blinds that are currently on the windows, this situation could be easily resolved with curtains over the windows.
* put an extension cord/ power strip for accessible plugs near the beds!
Overall, this condo was nice. We would stay there again IF they got new mattresses and put up curtains (out of the four of us, two are light sleepers and two are very heavy sleepers who can sleep most anywhere; but unfortunately none of us slept well because of these two issues).
Overall the condo was good. Could use some updates. People in the condo's were very nice & helpful with events happening. Close to a lot of things. Weather beautiful!
