Happy To Be Dog Friendly

You love your dogs.  Your dogs are part of your family.  You are happiest when your dogs are with you and so are your dogs.  We understand because we are just like you.  We do not like to go anywhere without Layla and Chopper, our standard poodles, especially on vacation or an extended trip.  As dog lovers and owners, we at HappyintheKeys are extremely proud that we are able to offer our 5 luxury vacation rentals in Marathon and Key Colony Beach as dog friendly homes away from home for our guests.

Committed to Staying That Way

You, like all of our guests, deserve and expect your vacation home to be topshelf and luxurious in every way.  And we strive to exceed your expectations.  In order to deliver on that level, we must ask and require that you comply with rules that we have implemented when a dog is included in our guest list to ensure that our homes remain meticulously clean and well kept.  Further, it is our hope that we can keep our luxury vacation homes dog friendly forever.  These rules help us meet that goal.
