Rainbow Bend Resort  

On Marathon’s waterfront where fishing boats bob and sunsets hit the docks. This family-friendly, pet-friendly waterfront resort sits in Marathon, Florida, about 14 km from the city center and within a short drive of Sombrero Beach, Keys Cable Park, Crawl Key and Curry Hammock State Park.

Rooms are simple and comfy — 23 air-conditioned units with flat-screen cable TVs, coffee/tea makers and ceiling fans. Bathrooms include showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, with daily housekeeping. Select rooms add kitchenette space and a fridge for longer stays, reinforcing the fishing-resort vibe.

Private beach access, an outdoor pool and a hot tub/spa tub give you easy water options. There’s a sun terrace plus on-site shops and a gift shop to browse. The property is both pet-friendly and family-friendly, and mornings here come with obvious sea-breeze perks.

Free Wi‑Fi/internet is available across the property, and free parking is provided for guests arriving by car.

The on-site Hideaway Cafe serves guests with casual, satisfying meals, and the resort also offers free breakfast to start your Keys mornings right.
