Pool is only open sunrise to sunset. The whole complex is lovely, quiet and off the main road and when we were done for the day we wanted to continue our vacation, using the property after dark and sadly no pool use allowed. It was just 2 of us, on our honeymoon. It's a lovely place but it can't be appreciated after dark. Soooooo disappointing. Also the pool area has chairs and lovely tables with tiki umbrellas but NO food or drinks are allowed in the pool area. Weird huh? There are cigarette receptacles, so you can smoke at the pool but not have a beverage. Duh, why are there tables????? Also one day when we were out all day we came back to our door wide open, left open accidentally by housekeeping who went on after we left for the day. Very lovely and if you want to go into your room at dark this is your place, but we won't be back.

The Continental Inn is a condo complex which rents units when they are not occupied by the owners. Its located in beautiful Key Colony Beach in Marathon in the Florida Keys. The units are basically a studio with a working kitchen. They usually have 2 queen size beds and a pull out couch with one bath. The rooms are big enough for 2, maybe 3/4 people, although they can accommadate up to 6. There are a few 2 bedroom units. There is daily maid service. They have a heated pool and their own private beach. They also have gas barbecues and tiki huts with picnic tables available for their guests.The cost of these units are a lot less than other's in the area, probably because they aren't full condo apts. Key Colony Beach is a hidden paradise. The residents try and keep it hidden. They have their own police and city counsel. Its a very quiet area with million dollar homes, a few restaurants, a small marina and a few local shops. Key Colony Beach is located approx. halfway between Key Largo and Key West. If your looking for a peaceful and quiet vacation, this is the place.

We stayed for 3 nights, rooms were spotless, had all we could think of in the kitchen, 4 queen beds at the 2 bedroom apt, large living room with l.c.d screen.
The swimming pool was heated and the beach was clean and had a hut with two large gas BBQ grills.
Just few minutes from 7 mile bridge and a bit over a hour to Key West.

Wonderful staff! They were very friendly. Great amenities. So much nicer than a hotel. We loved having the option of preparing our own meals. The grills on the beach were a lot of fun.The beach is lovely. The pool is a bit small.
