The Neighborhood:

Located in Marathon, within the picturesque Florida Keys, the property offers easy access to renowned attractions. Nearby, guests can explore the Dolphin Research Center, Sombrero Beach, and the historic Seven Mile Bridge. The area is also known for its excellent fishing spots and vibrant marine life, so there's snorkel tours and kayaking aplenty. You can also take a day trip to Key West to enjoy their Nature Conservatory and Aquarium, explore Mallory Square and Fort Zachary, or tour the Old Town on the Conch Train.



Getting Around:

For reaching and navigating Duck Key, a personal vehicle is recommended due to limited public transportation options. The nearest major airports are Key West International Airport (~60 miles south) and Miami International Airport (~100 miles north). From Miami, driving to Duck Key takes roughly 2 hours. Shuttle services, such as Keys Shuttle, offer transportation between these airports and the Florida Keys, including Duck Key. However, having a personal vehicle will provide greater flexibility for exploring the area.
