Take time away from it all in a place like no other: a beachfront haven where you can do it all — or nothing at all. Grab a kayak or a nap, read a book or a menu, work on your tan or your second piña colada.
Tranquility Bay is a place like no other, apart from the crowds. Nestled in the heart of the Florida Keys’ palm-lined paradise, in warm and welcoming Marathon, you’ll find a tropical oasis that’s easy to get to, but hard to leave. Because here you’ll make the memories that matter. Wake up to the glistening waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Stay in a private, standalone beach house right on the ocean or surround yourself in the tropical sanctuary of more intimate garden guest rooms. With no hallways, three pools, onsite watersports and plenty of room to just space out--you can do everything to nothing at all. At the end of the day, let powder-soft sand sift through your sun-kissed toes as you relax on a 2.5-acre private beach. Relax,*sigh*… you’ve arrived.

The entire hotel estate comprises the 'villa' style seen in the photos. It's very attractive and surprisingly quiet considering it's by a road. Everything is nicely appointed. We had a 2 bed 'villa' with a good size kitchen, sitting area and upstairs with a master bedroom, twin bed room and 2 bathrooms. Kitchen - oven, hob, microwave, toaster, lots of crockery, utensils and pans. Bed - comfortable and clean, plus there's a washing machine and dryer Bathrooms - exceptionally small 'baths' (little more than a shower stall really, only a bath for a 6 year old child), but didn't matter at all. The small beach area and views are utterly magnificent and utterly unforgettable (meaning taking endless photos of sunsets and the water!). Loungers and towels are provided (though the loungers are just mesh and actually extremely uncomfortable). Really easy to just walk out the back door and you're pretty much on the beach! There are 3 pools, one main one for children and 2 very small ones but we didn't use any. There's a 'tiki bar' by the beach serving drinks and guests tend to mill about here during sunset. There's beach volleyball and onsite watersports you can hire from (we didn't). There's also an extremely small gym (which we didn't use) with about 3 pieces of cardio equipment and 3 or 4 weights machines. Overall we really liked the resort. There were a few issues regarding service - it seems very much a 'do it yourself' type of place (which is fine by us), but there was no washing up cloth, or dishwasher powder and the electricity failed in the master bedroom - all of which took them nearly 16 hours to fix and follow up reminders by us. Plus the wardrobe drawers didn't work However, they were fully booked and they were minor frustrations in what was otherwise a fantastic stay. For anyone who might find it helpful, the hotel is really close to the start of the Seven Mile Bridge and it's about a 1 hour drive to reach Key West from there.

Wonderful stay at a great resort! Grounds and accommodations were beautiful and kept so clean! Fantastic water views! We enjoyed the multiple pools, beach/ocean access as well as the Butterfly Cafe and tiki bar. The staff was so friendly and we are already talking about a return visit!

Pros: Waterfront location was awesome and outdoor porch spaces great! Staff was friendly, although didn’t encounter many. Pool was great for kids. Easy to get around resort. Full size kitchen was nice to have. Cons: No electrical outlets in 2nd bedroom was an inconvenience. Biggest issue was the massive number of mosquitos in the grassy areas. Please spray these areas!

This was my first yoga session and it was really nice. Lynne was an excellent instructor and very easy to follow along with. She continually offered various positions to ensure everyone was comfortable. Thank you for this experience. I will likely try it again.
