Everything was fantastic! We met Phyllis (host) one day and she was an absolute joy to speak with.The property was incredibly clean, the amenities perfect, and the location could not be beat. We rented a boat for a week and the marina was perfect and easy to navigate.The sunsets at the marina pier are just gorgeous, which we enjoyed every evening.We highly recommend this villa and would love to return soon!

It was a pleasure to have you two, Joe. I appreciate your wonderful comments and hope to have you back soon. I hear constant comments about the perfect location for bringing a boat or renting one. We do have a wonderful marina and the perfect location for sunsets! A sunset picture from our docks won the "Best Sunset in the U.S." from Fox News a few years ago!

Wonderful family vacation!

We had an incredible week at Mitchell's Keys Villa. Stayed with our two sons (12 & 14) and enjoyed fishing, snorkeling and chilling out at this oasis in Islamorada. Thanks to Bob & Phyllis for an exceptionally clean and comfortable place to stay. We will be back!

Bayside Paradise

The location was perfect, we had our pick of many good restaurants and stores. The cottage was very clean and comfortable for the four of us. Very convenient having a ramp, dock for our boat and place to park our trailer. The resort is very quiet and peaceful with amazing sunsets 🌅. The owner Phyllis was very accommodating, we will certainly like to come back in the future. Thank you Phyllis for sharing your beautiful cottage with us. Bandos family

The Mitchell’s Villa is a...

The Mitchell’s Villa is a wonderful place to stay! It has everything you need to be comfortable and relaxed for a few days or a few weeks. Nestled back from the dock area, it offers the perfect amount of privacy with a view. The surrounding grounds are full of interesting native plants and local wildlife. The private marina is equipped with tables and chairs, offers aquarium-like attractions, and faces west for some incredible sunsets...it's very difficult not to gather here each evening.For anglers with boats, the marina offers excellent protection from wind and other boat traffic. There is plenty of space for dockage, several fresh water hoses, electrical outlets, and a fish cleaning table. The Atlantic is just minutes away, the back-country is even closer, and World Wide Sportsman is just down the street. The water is beautiful and the snorkeling fantastic. Yes, this is fishing/boating heaven!The Mitchell's are gracious hosts and excellent ambassadors for Islamorada. If you want to become immersed in the Keys lifestyle, this is the place to stay!

Eric and Gwen are exactly why we get so much joy renting our little piece of paradise in Islamorada. They come to enjoy the many aspects of the Keys that we love so much. We are just two properties away, and delight in passing along any tips that we have learned in our 25+ years in the Keys. We hope they will be back many times as most of our guest are Bob and Phyllis

Great place!

We were more than pleased with our stay! The property is beautiful and our cottage was comfortable, beautiful and ideal for us. Location wise, everything you could need is right there like fabulous eats, Publix, tackle shops, World Wide Sportsman (also easily accessed by boat) as well as some museums and attractions. Our cottage was bigger than it looked and beautifully bright with the practically wrap around windows looking into the gardens. The sunsets were beautiful and the marina well protected from the wind with direct access to channels that go everywhere. The property guests were quiet and some were repeats! Our host was super and we would highly recommend this property boater or not! There's an equipment rental company at the top of the driveway for paddle boards etc. Just a mention: Safe Harbor Angler Marina is just down the channel and is a good place to launch and take your boat out, just call ahead of time and check times and rates, they reserve times for captains only. Smaller boats with low t-top (no towers) will fit the driveway, ramp and tree coverage at the property. Safe Harbor is about a 4 minute drive by boat or vehicle.

A very nice and relaxing spot to spend your vacation down in the keys. The marina was one of the reasons I originally booked this place and it did not disappoint. The sunsets from the dock area were beautiful and definitely picture worthy. The place was very clean and well equipped. I would 100% stay here again.

Very convenient location

The keys villa had everything we needed. The property itself is beautiful and very conveniently located to everything in islamorada. The on-site marina was nice and the islamorada sand bar is about a 15 min boat ride away. If you want a tropical setting (palm trees, lush tropical vegetation) then this is the property for you. We will be back!

Wonderful Week

We had a delightful stay and everything was advertised. We had fun figuring out how to open the Murphy queen bed and it was comfortable for our girls. The big windows give the house a feeling of more space. Recommend the paddle board/kayak rental at Backcountry at the front end of the driveway. Sunsets are gorgeous!

We just returned from a week at Key Villa, and it was heaven on earth. We wouldn’t change a thing! Will definitely recommend to anyone we know headed to Islamorada. Spotless, updated, and the location and view are perfect! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us, and for the fresh fruit you brought us! Hope to return next year!

Easy and breezy on the bay

We so enjoyed our two week stay at this lovely one bedroom one bath freestanding home with delightful fenced in patio with a peakaboo view of the bay. This wonderful Ranch home is also surrounded by lots of mature landscaping lending to the privacy and the overall beauty of the area. Close to a lot of activities, restaurants and shopping. Lots of outdoor activities nearby that we enjoyed such as kayaking, biking, scuba diving, golfing and walking our dog. Property owner was very responsive and pleasant. We even got a wonderful tour of her nearby home’s extensive gardens along with cuttings from numerous lovely plants. Getting to know the other guests staying in the same area was pleasure as well, our dog ended up with a girlfriend doggie😊. By the end of our stay we felt like we were leaving our winter home getaway. We sure hope we can get a chance to stay there again next winter. Thanks Phyllis!

Great Location

Location of this property is fantastic and central to everything and very close to the water. Place is clean and perfect for a couple. Only thing that needs work is the shower which is scalding, then cold, then scalding. Mrs. Mitchell is a sweetheart and made us wonderful fish dip and gave us a tour of her beautiful garden. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay.
