Our story

Born from a love of the Keys

Reelaxed Rentals started with one simple idea — share the magic of Key Colony Beach with people who love the water as much as we do.

Why we created Reelaxed Rentals

The Florida Keys have a way of getting into your soul. The smell of salt air, the sound of water lapping against the dock, the way the light turns golden over the canal at dusk — once you've experienced it, you never stop coming back.

We fell in love with Key Colony Beach years ago and knew we wanted to share it. Reel Axed Retreat was built with the kind of guests we'd want to be ourselves: people who want to fish off their own dock, sip a drink under the tiki hut, and wake up to nothing but water and sky.

Every detail — from the fully stocked kitchen to the 37.5-foot private dock — was chosen so you can spend less time worrying and more time doing what you came here for.

Marathon & Key Colony Beach

Sitting at mile marker 50, Marathon is the heart of the Florida Keys — close enough to everything, far enough from the crowds.

Seven Mile Bridge

One of the most iconic drives in America, just minutes from your door.

Sombrero Beach

A rare natural sand beach in the Keys, perfect for swimming and sunsets.

World-class fishing

Mahi, tarpon, bonefish, and snook — the waters here are legendary.

Turtle Hospital

The world's only licensed sea turtle hospital, right here in Marathon.

A fisherman's paradise

Whether you're chasing mahi offshore, stalking bonefish on the flats, or dropping a line off the dock at sunset, Marathon delivers.

Offshore — Mahi mahi, wahoo, and sailfish run strong in the Atlantic just a short run out.
Backcountry — The flats behind Marathon are world-famous for bonefish, permit, and tarpon.
Dock fishing — Your private 37.5-foot dock is perfect for snapper, snook, and whatever else swims by.

Cabana Club access included

Every stay at Reel Axed Retreat includes complimentary access to the Key Colony Beach Cabana Club — a private waterfront club with a pool, beach access, and that classic Keys vibe.
