"Lovely home situated right on the canal. We arrived to a very clean home that had everything we needed. The beach towels were a nice added bonus. The pool was super convenient and well taken care of. Our trip was a 10/10. We enjoyed renting bikes from Eaton Bikes in Key West and we snorkeled with Adventure Mermaid (or maybe it was Mermaid Adventures, lol). We definitely would rent this home again- it was super easy and well managed!"

This was the perfect place to settle down to at the end of the long days. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the Keys."

"Paradise"

"wow...we were pleasantly surprised...the condo was spacious (we had 6 adults) quiet, clean and very nicely decorated...we rented from Cocoplum realty (Angel) and we had #18...I think the only downfall was we had to go home! lol, We rented bikes from Wheels to go...who delivered them right to our door! and picked them up the day we left! we biked all over its very bike friendly ..the Pool was clean and heated and the grounds were nicely kept. If you have a boat you can dock there...thanks for the best Christmas vacation!"

"This spacious modern 3 bedroom villa was just as advertised. Nice pool and boat slip for the independent traveler who doesn't need the trappings of a resort. Plenty of room for our family of six with two teens and grandparents for a pre-Xmas getaway"

"We spent a great week with the family at Coral Lagoon Resort. In house 18 we did not miss anything. The decor is very tasteful, the facility clean and the pool we often had almost all to ourselves. Optimal is the location if you have a boat and want to fish. Boat dock included."

“AWESOME!”
5/5 Stars
"Just back from a great week at Coral Lagoon. Our group of 7 stayed at this property for 8 days / 7 nights...3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a sleeper sofa...The townhouse was clean...the kitchen fully stocked with all you'd need to make most meals. The pool area was clean and quite pleasant. We had a dock just outside our door which was great for docking our boat (rental). I was worried about staying at Coral Lagoon because of all the negative reviews...We stayed in unit #18...Each unit is owned and managed differently...Unit #18 was flawlessly clean...and had plenty of towels, wash clothes, extra linen etc. The washer and dryer came in very handy as well. I wanted to compare Coral Lagoon to Tranquility Bay Resort, just down the street...Coral Lagoon and Tranquility Bay are built by the same builders...down to the decor...these townhomes are pretty much exactly alike. NOW Tranquility Bay has a beach...it sucks, but they do have a beach...Tranquility Bay has maid service (sometimes) and Tranquility Bay has a restaurant and Tiki Bar...they also rented Jet Skies...BUT I Tell ya for the money...I would stay at Coral Lagoon again, and again... We spent two days at Tranquility Bay and my kids just kept saying...Please take us back to Coral Lagoon. We like our place better...We like the small 25 unit property at Coral Lagoon vs the 87+ and construction going on at Tranquility Bay. While there isn't staff around at Coral Lagoon, you can rest assure that they are just a phone call away (CoCoPlum Vacations). They answered every call...and was accommodating to our needs...They even checked in to assure that we were enjoying our week stay there. WE DID!!! I would NEVER EVER Stay at Tranquility Bay again...at almost double the $$$ Tranquility Bay is only interested in collecting revenue, Coral Lagoon gets my $$$ and high ratings! IF in Marathon...Do yourself a fava...Stay at Coral Lagoon (#18) you won't be sorry.
Room Tip: “We stayed in unit #18 very clean...and the closest proximity to the pool. I could watch my kids swimming from our bedroom balcony...NICE!!! Each unit is owner specific...we used CoCo Plum to book, they were very helpful and assuring. Our unit had a new sleeper sofa - a big plus. Very neighborly feeling here...all another guest in other units were very friendly great pool conversations...Who caught the BIGGEST fish was they talk of most evenings. LOL...we did catch about 20 lobsters, a shark, and grouper...wow.”

“Great Vacation Rental”
5/5 Stars
"We met friends from Scotland (we are from Idaho) in Marathon Key and stayed at Coral Lagoon Resort & Marina #18. This is a condo with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The rental was clean, well equipped and perfect for our 2 families. We ate breakfast on the porch overlooking the boat slip every morning. Anyone who needed alone time could go to their bedroom - all bedrooms had their own TVs. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with the dishes and cooking items we needed. It was quiet with a lovely swimming pool and close to everything we wanted to do. We would stay here again!"

"This is a nice convenient spot. There are fishing & diving charters within walking distance, in addition to several restaurants. Even though it's near the Overseas Hwy there was no noise save the occasional airplane or boat. The pool area is really beautiful, as is the attached veranda along the canal."

"This place coupled with the marina next door was absolutely perfect for our trip. They were attentive, quick to respond and answered questions quickly. The slip by the unit had power and fresh water to clean and keep the boat clean after a day on the water. The boathouse marina next door is outstanding as well. They were very helpful for with our boat. Thank you to all and definitely going to try to stay there again. Marcos"
