The Old Seven Mile Bridge has watched more than a century of Keys sunsets go by, and on Saturday, October 10, Marathon is gathering on it to raise a glass to the nation’s 250th birthday as the sun dips below the horizon around 7:05. Monroe County, the Tourist Development Council and the City of Marathon are hosting a free evening with live music and dancing from the Pierce August Band, Caribbean bites prepared by the Marathon High School culinary team, and a sunset toast poured with Grimal Grove juices.

Parking isn’t available at the bridge itself, so guests can park free at the Pigeon Key trolley lot at 7 Mile Marina, ride the van from the Stanley Switlik parking area on 33rd Street, or walk up from Knights Key beneath the bridge. Anyone staying in Marathon this weekend is only a short drive from an evening the whole community will be sharing, and if you’re still looking for a place to land, DM us directly.

The calendar says October, even if the forecast has not quite caught on yet, and the local coffee shops are already pouring the season into every cup. In celebration of International Coffee Day, Keys Ocean Vacation Rentals is highlighting three local favorites, Seashell Coffee, Grassy Key Land and Sea Market, and Irie Island Eats, each serving something special this fall. A stop at any of them makes for an easy start to a slow vacation day, whether that means sipping on the dock or heading out for a drive along the Overseas Highway, and every cup supports the small businesses that give the Keys their charm. Swipe through for the team’s seasonal picks, and DM us directly to start planning a fall getaway.

When the youngest guests in the house have strong opinions about a vacation, you know it went well, and Brooke’s kids made it clear that the pool and kayaks at Sitting at the Dock on the Bay were the stars of their trip. Between afternoons splashing in the private pool, paddling the quiet canals of Marathon’s Coco Plum neighborhood, and spotting manatees from the dock nearly every day, the whole family found plenty to love, while the parents appreciated a clean, comfortable home and a central location for exploring the rest of the Keys. Thank you, Brooke, for letting us share your family’s review, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another round.

DM us directly to plan your family’s stay in Coco Plum.

Our favorite time of year is here. Cross the list off from Fantasy Fest in Key West to cracking your first stone crab claws of the year, then close it out trick or treating behind the Marathon airport with the whole family. Every bit of it feels better with a home base close to the water, somewhere you can come back to after the parade or the paddle and still catch that fall sunset from your own dock. DM us directly to find the property that puts this whole list within reach.

The yummy stone crab season is starting soon and it’s the perfect reason to book a getaway during the off season. Keys Ocean Vacation Rentals has homes across Marathon, Key Colony Beach, Grassy Key, and Islamorada, many with private docks, pools, and room for everyone to gather, so the days can be as slow or as full as you like and the evenings can end with a sunset over the water. Slide into our DMs directly to start planning, and remember that stays begin at seven nights so there is plenty of time to settle into island pace.

Keys Ocean Vacation Rentals is proud to sponsor Marathon’s 6U soccer team this season, cheering on the youngest athletes in our community as they take the field. Being locally owned means more than just a place on the map, it means showing up for the people who make this island community what it is. Supporting local youth sports is one small way this Marathon based, woman owned business invests in the town it calls home. We love finding ways to give back beyond the guests who stay with us, and this is one of our favorites. If you know of a local group doing great things for Marathon, we would love to hear about it. DM us directly.

Summer will be over before you know it and right now it’s the best time to come down and enjoy the slower season. The water is still warm, the crowds have thinned out, and there is nothing on the calendar besides catching a sunset, paddling the mangroves, or getting out on the reef for one more swim before fall settles in. The right property makes all of that easy, a dock, a kayak launch, and a pool close by turn a short list of Keys favorites into an easy weekend. DM us directly and we will help you find the property that fits.

🏠Five bedrooms, five private bathrooms, a heated pool with Gulf sunsets that don’t feel real, and direct access to both the Gulf and the Atlantic for the boaters in the group. The Vaca House has it all. Book it and we’ll warn you now, everything after this trip will feel like a downgrade. Located in the exclusive Yacht Harbor Island community in Marathon, Florida Keys.

We are completely guilty of packing half a suitcase worth of reading on our trips, but we are trying to help guests avoid the extra weight. Some of our vacation homes keep books on the shelf, ready and waiting for a slow afternoon by the pool. And if you still want to browse, there are several little free libraries scattered around Marathon and Key Colony Beach. Borrow one, leave one behind for the next guest, and let today be the excuse to do absolutely nothing but read. Wherever you are celebrating National Read a Book Day, we hope you find a good story and a quiet moment to enjoy it.

If dogs picked the vacation rental, they’d probably keep it simple… a yard worth sniffing, a dock for keeping watch, and a pool deck built for zoomies 🐶🌊

But there’s a little more that goes into a great Keys stay. From finding a place with room for the whole family, to knowing which properties welcome pets, it doesn’t have to be complicated.

That’s where Keys Ocean Vacation Rentals comes in. With several dog friendly properties across Marathon and the Keys, the whole pack is welcome, paws included.

Ready to plan a getaway with your four legged travel companion? Book online or reach out anytime!

Happy National Dog Day from the Keys Ocean Vacation Rentals team!
