Great Location in the Middle of the Keys

This is a great spot in the middle of the Keys. It’s near plenty of dining options. Highly recommend Sparky’s. The docks at Indigo Reef have all recently been redone with trex decking which looks really nice. Fishing and boating right out the back door. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Family Friendly Marathon location

Can't beat Indigo Reef if you have a boat and are looking for a great family friendly place to stay in Marathon. Had some issues with linens being wet when we arrived, and a couple other minor things, but overall love this place. Management was responsive and available when we needed anything. Highly recommend

Indigo Reef is perfect

We stayed at a couple different Indigo Reef properties, this one had a spectacular view, near the end by the bay. Great communication with manager. indigo Reef takes amazing care of the property and the pool is always clean and perfect. Boat slip is a huge plus and it is protected. Would definitely stay here again.

Another week in Paradise

Our stay at the Indigo Reef Marina and Resort was fantastic. The location is perfect for boaters with protected docks and easy access via the Vaca Cut to the Atlantic and nearby reefs for snorkeling and fishing. Our unit was clean and well appointed. Other guests and owners were very nice. Will definitely be back

Great place but you gotta enjoy there termites

We have stayed at Indigo Reef on multiple occasions, but first time in unit #8 for a period of 2 weeks. Condo overall clean with quick access to boat slip right off the door. Needs new caulking in bathrooms as there is a lot of black that looks like mold, but that was not the main issue which was that the place was infested with live termites which landed on pillows and sheets on 2 out of the 3 bedrooms. Notified Island Breeze Vacation Manager right away who was responsive and came, and who sent the place to be cleaned next day and called Terminix for a subsequent visit, but obviously when you have termites, unless you tent the problem does not go away. After some back and forth via Island Breeze Vacations who contacted the owner who lives in the UK, got a small refund back. Won't be coming back until I know the whole building of 6-8 condo has been tented.

A great Villa with a Delightful view….

Our second time in this unit. Nicely decorated, clean & comfortable. We had a few hiccups but management took care of them promptly. The unit has wonderful views of the gulf and many palm trees from the decks. Well kept grounds. Nice pool. Great location in middle keys. Could use new skillets, new bed pillows and higher chairs for upstairs deck as the view is somewhat blocked by railing w low chairs. All in all a good & peaceful week at this Villa. Would rent again.

Very nice

Everyone liked your property. I but would of liked to have the ability to grill out. There was a grill out back with a couple small bags of charcoal on the bottom shelf of grill. the owners apparently don’t allow grills. I did notice the unit to our left had used it. I witnessed them putting it back in front of our steps one morning with the charcoal gone from the shelf. We would stay again, just wish I had a boat!!
