This was the perfect property for our multigenerational family to be together. We had the best time playing volleyball, basketball, paddle boarding, swimming, sitting in the hot tub, grilling and looking for sea creatures together! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay on this beautiful island. We loved every second of our trip!
We had an amazing time on Thompson Island for my big birthday! Plenty of room for our 15 friends. The property was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We really enjoyed our stay.
Thompson island was an absolute perfect setting for my wife’s 40th. The week there was filled with so much activities(both on and off the island) and the history of the home was beautiful.
The Thompson Island home was amazing for us to celebrate our wedding! Thanks so much to the host for being responsive and helpful. It was a great experience all around
Perfect property for family, friends and wedding party
Thompson Island, private island, estate was just perfect for housing our friends and wedding guests of 20 people, and Andrew and Scott were super accommodating and easy to work with. Perfect combination of soaking in Key West and all that it has to offer, and a private estate to relax in and enjoy connections with those that you love.
The property is large and private. It gears to large groups looking to celebrate any occasion. Water access is provided for kayaking and paddle boarding.
Very nice property with appropriate accoutrements to the time and period for the property. Very quiet location with excellent views. This is not a property for a party with anyone with accessibility needs.
We got married on Thompson Island and it was truly the wedding of our dreams. We got to have our closest friends and family stay on the Island with us for a long weekend and it was absolutely the best weekend ever. The place was so beautiful to take pictures at as well. And Andrew and his wife are so sweet and helpful. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Amazing spot in the Keys for a professional meeting and social event.
We had a group of 20 dentists and meet ever year in a tropical or snow setting. The accomodations were ideal for us on Thompson island. Staff and owners were very attentive. One of our guest misplaced her wallet and phone. The staff located it and she was able to get it before flying out. First class!
We had a wonderful family Christmas stay here at this charming, historic home! Loved the location as it is close to the airport, grocery, the beach and has a beautiful water view. We traveled with my 86 year old mom and I’d like to caution others that this is an old house that is not handicap accessible and does not have a shower on the main floor. For the younger ones, however, it was nice being on an island where they could talk and laugh and not bother any neighbors and there was a lot for them to do. Andrew is a very nice, accommodating, responsive host. Scott was great with orientation and any needs we had throughout the week. Overall a very positive stay!

Thanks for the great review. Lovely group ! If the stairs are an issue with any guests there is an opportunity to add 1 or 2 cottages ( 3 steps off the ground each) with king beds and baths.
Please reach out for additional information! Ty.
We hosted an executive leadership retreat and rented the entire property. It was the most positive experience from beginning to end! The host's communication and the grounds team that greeted us were impeccable. The house & cottages were beautiful and surpassed our expectations. There is everything you need: kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, volleyball! I can't say enough how much we all enjoyed it.
Thank you so much!!
Highly recommend!
The property manager was wonderful to work with from the moment we booked to the moment we left always was extremely responsive and professional the property itself is just wow wow wow what a location all the amenities all the kids stayed busy I would recommend this property to anyone that is looking for a dream vacation in the keys thank you Andrew to you and your staff a real Jem thank you.
I had a milestone birthday and had family celebrate with me.
Andrew's estate was conveniently close to the airport and was easy to find.
All fifteen adults had comfortable beds and use of seven and a half bathrooms.
We especially loved the size of the dining room and how we were all able to sit at the same table.
The home itself is close to 100 years old, so do not expect perfection. It has its unique charm and a compelling history that is worth knowing.
Everyone had a great stay in Key West, thanks in good part to this property.
We rented this home for our son And daughter in law to “tie the knot” on a sunset sailboat with just 16 family members. This home was perfect for what we needed so we could all hang out and Celebrate the weekend and getting to get to know each other’s family. The home is very large with a lot of space. If you like history then this home has it but you need to understand the home is close to 100 years old and not updated but had a lot of Charm. The owner was extremely easy to work with and very helpful and answered all questions very quickly.
