About Hidden Key Marina Vacation Rentals
Three Ways to Stay. One State of Mind.
Hidden Key Marina Vacation Rentals are not cookie-cutter accommodations. Each stay is intentionally different, designed for guests who value character over polish, experience over excess, and memories over amenities lists. Whether you’re looking for panoramic bay views from above or the romance of sleeping on the water itself, every stay here invites you to slow down and live the Keys like a local.
Hidden Key is a marina coming back to life—quiet, intimate, and refreshingly unpretentious. Boats rock gently at their slips, palm trees sway in the breeze, and neighbors greet each other with easy smiles. You’ll hear laughter some nights, music drifting softly across the docks, and the sounds of water always close by. This is a working marina, a gathering place, and a retreat all at once.
Our vacation rentals are woven directly into this setting. You’re not staying near the water—you’re living on it.
Our Vacation Rental protfolio is perfect for a small family or friend group – up to 12 guests can stay and we have packages to rent the entire property for yourselve. Give us a call to learn more about our “marina buy out” packages.
Three Distinct Ways to Stay
The Manatee Bay View Apartment
Panoramic | Private | Family-Friendly
Perched above the marina, our third-story, two-bedroom apartment offers breathtaking 270-degree views of Manatee Bay, with unforgettable sunrises and sunsets from a massive wraparound deck. It’s the only residential unit in the marina, making it exceptionally private and truly one of a kind.
Bright, breezy, and surrounded by water on nearly every side, this space is perfect for families, couples, creatives, or anyone who wants the comfort of a home paired with the magic of marina life below.
Reef Dreamer - Vintage Yacht Glamping
Rustic | Romantic | Adventurous
Reef Dreamer is a stationary vintage boat stay for guests who crave something memorable and unconventional. Cozy, soulful, and full of character, this is glamping on the water—where nights are lulled by gentle ripples, mornings begin with marina light through cabin windows, and days unfold at island speed.
This experience is best suited for laid-back, easygoing adventurers who embrace authenticity, don’t mind a little salt in the air, and understand that mindset is everything. It’s not luxury—it’s storybook Florida Keys charm.
Ocean Sunrise - Vintage Yacht Upgraded
Retro | Easygoing | Old Florida
Step aboard Ocean Sunrise, a classic 40’ Marine Trader trawler that channels the free-spirited Keys of the 1970s. Wood-trimmed interiors, wide decks, and a gentle sway on Manatee Bay create a floating retreat where time seems to pause.
Wake with the sun through portholes, sip coffee on deck, kayak the mangroves, and end the day under the stars. This is not a hotel stay—it’s a state of mind, ideal for couples or mellow adventurers looking to reconnect with nature and nostalgia.
