Spend the Day With Jenna From Team Citron in the Florida Keys

I am a Miami girl at my core. And, one of the perks of living in Miami is our proximity to the Florida Keys! Recently, I took a break from the Miami hustle to spend the day at one of our client’s stunning VRBO properties in Marathon—and it was nothing short of magical.

Whether you’re looking for a second home, a vacation rental investment, or just dreaming of a little escape, let me take you through my day in the Florida Keys and show you why this lifestyle is so special.

Let’s dive in! 

Morning: Waking Up in Paradise

It was such a treat to spend a night at this beautiful waterfront property in Marathon. The home, with its perfect coastal decor and relaxing Keys vibe, is a little slice of heaven. With amenities like a private boat, kayaks, and panoramic water views, it’s the ideal spot for a getaway. It definitely made me feel a bit guilty being here without my kids – they would have LOVED it! My favorite part, though? A cozy bedroom with two walls of windows overlooking the shimmering waters—falling asleep to that view is pure bliss. Does this sound like your vibe? Check out the property. 

The next morning, I brewed a quick coffee in the fully stocked kitchen and took it outside to enjoy the idyllic December weather. The crisp breeze and tranquil surroundings made for the perfect start to my day. Living in the Keys is all about these quiet, breathtaking moments.

Exploring Marathon: Beaches, Food, and Fun

Sombrero Beach
Less than five minutes from the house, Sombrero Beach is a must-visit. I started my day with a peaceful morning stroll along the sandy shore, soaking in the crystal-clear waters and gentle waves. It’s the kind of place where time seems to stand still, and I could have stayed there all day. Definitely the best beach in all of the Keys!

Sunset Grille & Raw Bar
As a little added treat, my mom (and business partner!) Bea drove down and joined me for lunch at Sunset Grille, a local Marathon hotspot. Located right next to the iconic Seven Mile Bridge, the restaurant offers delicious seafood and panoramic ocean views. We indulged in some conch chowder (a personal favorite) and tuna nachos while soaking in the laid-back, breezy atmosphere.

If you’re planning a longer trip, consider staying at Isla Bella Beach Resort, one of my favorite luxury resorts in the Keys. It’s right next door to Sunset Grille and offers world-class amenities for a perfect weekend escape. Pro tip: try to book a room on the ground floor, because you’ll get an extra patio set up right on the sand!

Miss Monroe Boutique
After lunch, we headed north to Islamorada, a charming destination filled with unique shopping spots. I stopped at Miss Monroe Boutique, where I found stylish clothing and adorable kids’ items. Islamorada also boasts some incredible home decor and plant shops—I couldn’t resist picking up a new outdoor rug for my patio! 

Wrapping Up the Day

Before heading back to Miami, I needed a little caffeine pick-me-up. Café Moka, a cozy coffee shop in Islamorada, was the perfect stop. Their coffee is a must-try if you’re in the area.

On the way back, Bea and I decided to mix business with pleasure and stopped in Key Largo to preview a brand new waterfront construction that hasn’t hit the market yet. Definitely reach out if you want the inside scoop!

Why the Keys?

Spending the day in the Florida Keys reminded me why this area is so unique. From stunning beaches and vibrant local businesses to world-class dining and shopping, the Keys offer a lifestyle that’s both serene and exciting. Whether you’re here for a vacation or looking to make the Keys your home, there’s something magical about this corner of South Florida.

At Team Citron, we’re passionate about helping you find your dream property—whether it’s a VRBO like the one I stayed in, a vacation home, or your forever house. Ready to explore the Keys lifestyle? Let’s make it happen.

Thank you for spending the day with me in Marathon. I can’t wait to help you discover your own piece of paradise in the Florida Keys.
