The middle keys a great place to stay when visiting this area. And Key Colony Beach is a hidden gem. It's a nice mix of rentals and owner occupied residences that results in quiet and safe surroundings, while still supplying all that the Keys has to offer. Easy drives to Key West, or up Keys to Islamorada and Key Largo. Lou and Mary's sits on a nice canal and a step down dock makes getting in/out of the supplied kayaks easy. We paddled along with three manatees one outing! The duplex itself is clean, quiet, and nicely equipped. The way the owners had it set up during our stay it was a one bedroom two bath with a den. The other beds are actually out in the living area. Nice shaded outside seating that faces west to enjoy sunsets. They seemed to be very frugal with consumable supplies. One roll of paper towels, one roll of toilet paper in each bath, three dishwash pods, 4 laundry pods, and no spare garbage limers. A well equipped kitchen, but bring all the spices and condiment you may need. Nice big BBQ to grill up lobster tails and fresh fish. Didn't use the clubhouse, but the private Inch beach access was great. All that being said, I'd stay here again. Communication with management was quick and easy. And the location is excellent.
