Our two week stay was absolutely wonderful! The villa’s location is perfect! So close to our favorite restaurants and shops. The marina was great and protected from the wind. The sunsets are incredible. Lloyd was a pleasure!

Beautiful, hideaway on the water
Perfect spot for our family of 4, plus dog. The villa had everything we needed. The location was great and we had so much fun during our stay. Everyone staying there came out for sunset, which we had a perfect view of. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay in Bayside Villa. Perfect location and a perfect host. The property is exactly as advertised. We are looking forward to returning next year!
We LOVED our stay here. As advertised, this is a very clean, and charming cottage. The location is peaceful with great waterfront views. Close to everything in Islamorada - We enjoyed watching the sunsets, boats, and wildlife. . Great host with excellent communication! Would definitely stay here again ! :)
This villa had everything we needed and more! Cozy, clean villa. We began each day exploring the sealife within 100 feet of our door (manatee, octopus, shark, etc). Ended each day with a beautiful sunset! Quiet beautiful spot with excellent restaurants within walking distance. Lovely vacation!!

Our happy place
Have been renting Bayside villa for many years. It is a great spot! Clean with everything you need. It is conveniently located both by car and boat. We love that the boat basin is secure. Looking forward to making more memories in the years to come.

Thank you very much for your kind review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the experience of the Bayside Villa.
Take a trip back in time to this oasis of a property. From the quaint drive to the approximate location closest to the dock. Its truly paradise with everything one needs. The inlet marina is incredible and so easy to bring your own boat. The owners provided everything we needed and very comfortable. Coming home after a long day of fishing to the ice cold AC was heaven.
Place was perfect. Boat was right outside our door. Accommodations were very nice. All the amenities we could think of were there. Would book again in a minute without hesitation.

This place is beautiful and very accommodating to our idea/needs of a perfect vacation. The owner went above and beyond from day one of us booking the trip and until the very end. I would give them six stars if I could.

We enjoyed having you as guests. You took care of our Villa as if it were your own. It would be our pleasure to see you return as a guest. Thank you for the nice review!
The view was fabulous! From the short drive to the back of the property to the patio, dock, & windows of the villa - the views were amazing. A/C was great, perfect size for me and the hubs. Still plenty of room for another couple.
This was our seventh stay in the Bayside Villa in Islamorada. Again, it was perfect. The owners take very good care of the unit. As every year, it is sad to go back from living on island time.

Thank you Franz for your review. We are pleased that you love our place the way we do and we always look forward to your visit with us. We wish your family safe travels.
Keys Kottage is a quaint, clean, comfortable and conveniently situated 2BR/2BA bungalow. Excellent accomodation for a small family and/or anglers appreciating practicality and simplicity; and, that "Vintage FL Keys" vibe. Boat ramp and basin are a major plus.

Thank you very much for your 5 star review. We strive to keep our units very clean and well stocked. The beautiful hammock on which the Villa is located, and being directly on the shore of Florida Bay makes for a delightful vacation spot. We are thrilled that you enjoy our property as much as we do. Thanks again for your kind review.

Bayside at Islamorada
What a wonderful time we had. Weather was perfect and sunsets were from a travel guide. This was our forth stay at Bayside and the upgrades were really nice, especially the bathrooms. The Murphy bed came in handy as I am a noisy sleeper and my wife would go to bed with me but end up in it to get a good nights sleep.
The location of Bayside is excellent. Shopping and restaurants are all within walking distance.
When we first stayed in the unit, about ten years ago, it had vertical blinds on the slider allowing a panoramic view of the bay when they were open. The new horizontal blinds can only open half way which eliminates our favorite part of Bayside, the view.
One thing that surprised us was that three of the dimmer switches were missing the plastic toggle which left bare metal protruding into the rooms. This detracted from the overall excellence of the unit. In regards to the dimmer, it appears nondimmable light bulbs were used which affects the functionality of dimmers.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. We would like to thank the owners for their prompt response to questions we had. The bottle of wine was a very nice and appreciated welcome to Bayside.

Another great vacation
Wonderful spot in a small compound, right on the bay with boat dock space outside your door. Nicely updated unit with plenty of room and patio space too.
