Testimonials

"I want to start by saying, thank you so much for all your help with finding us a place to stay during our vacation. It was truly amazing and we will forever be grateful for the memories with our family. Thank you also for responding to our emails and phone calls so quickly. You are a gem. An absolute gem! 🙂   We're planning another trip down for lobster season and would love to rent a unit from you again. The house we stayed in or even somewhere in that area was perfect location. We also really liked the Key colony area.  Thanks." -  Kristen B.

We really enjoyed the house and will contact you the next time we come to Marathon to rent another.  I have already recommended you to our friends and understand they will be arriving to enjoy their vacation rental on April 8.  I have several more friends who asked about our experience in dealing with you and the residence we rented, and recommended your service.  Wishing you the best,  Bruce C.  

"Thank you for your prompt reply to our call regarding the gas grill. We were at first reluctant to call about the grill over the weekend. However, because your "check in" person  emphasized that we call your office regarding any problem, we did call and glad we did. The next day we were so happy to see that a brand new gas grill had been delivered.  Your prompt "no questions asked" responsiveness was greatly appreciated. Everything else has been great and our family is having a wonderful time and enjoying the beautiful house that is providing everything for a wonderful vacation."

I don't think I ever took the time to say how much we loved our duplex - it was gorgeous, comfortable and the hot tub was great! Our vacation was wonderful! Thanks again.

“Perfect getaway!” We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! The pictures do not represent how spacious and well decorated this home is. It was very comfortable, and the landscaping is gorgeous. We really enjoyed swimming in the pool with our kids, and watching all the iguanas and wildlife. We even had a manatee in our canal! We were able to rent a boat and dock it at the house. Barbara was very helpful and easy to deal with. We did have some trouble with the grill. She contacted the owner, and we had a new one delivered within hours!! Thank you so much for sharing this home!

"Hi Barbara from a Realtor to another I want to thank you for finding us a last minute wonderful house on previous week of mini season.  You call the shots straight and totally had a wonderful time with the grandkids.   Great grounds to run around and enjoy. Thanks again."

I've rented a lot of vacation properties through the years and you are, by far, the most accommodating rental agent I've ever had. I did not take my lap top with me, but read all of your messages after I returned home.  I do appreciate all the ice and gas for the grill. Your maintenance guy, Jim, is a gem and tries hard to please.

You did a really great job and we appreciate the effort. We'll reach out shortly for next year’s trip.

I wanted to send you a quick email and thank you for everything.  Our family vacation was fabulous and the home at South of Reality was great. Hopefully next year we will be able to gather again.

Just wanted to say thank you. We had a really nice time and the house was great. I have recommended you to several people. You made finding a vacation house so easy. I appreciate all of your help. Have a great day! See you next year!

Thanks for everything!  We had a great time at the house and plan to return soon.  Thanks again for all the help.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Keys. The house was wonderful with amazing views. Thanks for your quick responses to my emails. The pool company came every day. We look forward to visiting again. I will share your contact information with a couple of colleagues who are interested in trips to the Keys. Thanks again.

Ken and I want to thank you for taking care of us.  We thank you so much for making every year that we spend in Marathon a wonderful one.  We look forward to seeing you next year.

Just wanted to thank you for recommending the house in Marathon  as we enjoyed our stay very much. The house was perfect for us, and you made the rental process very easy. Thanks again, and hope to make it back that way soon!

I didn't get a chance to thank you for this vacation spot we've got from you. House was gorgeous and huge and we were very comfortable despite deteriorating weather. We had some fishing done and overall spend a very good week together. Thank you. I hope to use your service again sometime.

Just a short update:   We are absolutely delighted with Denise's rental property.  It is exactly as described, clean and has all of the described amenities. In fact, I wish to inquire about availability next year for January and February. and the related reservation procedures.  The fridge repair person was here the next day after I visited your office.  He fixed the issue and was very considerate.  I really appreciate your help and prompt service. Thanks again.  - Scott S.

We recently returned from a 3-generation family vacation with our daughter and her family. This truly was a "South of Reality" experience for us! There was plenty to do to keep everyone happy and busy for the week ...from the kayaks to the hot tub to the pool to the dock for fishing to the pool table. We had a 19 year old and two 21-year olds with us and everyone had a great time and ready to go back!  The house is a great set-up. There are 2 separate bedroom areas with 2 BR and 2 BA in each.one. The younger generation had their own "wing" and the "not-so-young" had the other one. Perfect for our situation. Barbara McKee was excellent to work with thru the whole rental process. I highly recommend this lovely home.

Barbara, I just want to thank you so much for the help you have given us and we can't wait to come down on the 3-19. We're so excited, haha, but I just wanted to say thank you for what you do!!!

Barbara - I just wanted to thank you for all your help... I will keep you in mind for other vacations! We usually stay in Islamorada, do you have any properties up there? Thank you again, I must you have the BEST consumer service that I've EVER had when it comes to rentals in the Keys, believe me after 16 years of coming down I've dealt with a lot! Thank you again and have a great rest of the week. --Ellie J.

Hi Barb - Just wanted to let you know I posted on Facebook that I highly recommend if anyone is looking for a rental in the Keys, they should contact you at Florida Keys Vacation Rentals.  -- Karen W.

Barbara - You are a very helpful agent. Thanks so much for the thoughtful bottle of wine. You are both way too kind! See you next year! -- John P.

...And thanks again, Barbara, for your quick responses and patience with us during this process. Clearly you are an experienced and capable professional. We have been doing vacation rentals 2 to 3 times a year for the last 14 years. I can almost predict how uneventful our stay will be just from the professionalism shown during the rental process. I think we're going to have a good time in KC... Best, Lourdes H.

Ken and I want to thank you for all the years of wonderful care that you provided for us over the many years as renters in Marathon.  We are truly appreciative and grateful; and consider ourselves so fortunate to have had the opportunity to know you and work with you.   We are sad that we will be leaving Marathon, but guess that "all good things must come to an end"; but we will treasure the memories of the wonderful years that we spent in Marathon and Key Colony and know that your kindness and professionalism made it all possible...We wish you success and happiness in your future endeavors; and hope that our paths will cross in the near future.  Again, thank you so much for all of your efforts on our behalf over the years.  Best always,  Barbara and Ken L.

"Thank you so much Barbara.  You have been a pleasure to work with."

"Our family had a fabulous time staying at property MA765 this past week! One for our memory book! Your management company was wonderful in answering calls after hours and explaining every last detail. Thank you again for everything! Do you handle Little Torch Key canal properties too?" Renee G.
