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

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.

so lovely

The property is so nice and large enough for two adults and two small dogs. we loved it but unfortunately had to leave because of a serious illness in our family. I was a bit surprised that I never heard anything when I called to announce our early departure however.

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!

Paradise

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.

Lovely stay

We had such a lovely stay! It was all that we needed! Phyllis was so lovely! She brought us over delicious smoked fish dip and also gave us a tour of her garden and gave us clippings to take home! Everyone who stayed around us was so friendly. The place was pet friendly which is big for us bringing our two dogs. The sunsets every night were to die for. It was perfect for our boat to be able to keep it in the water the entire stay and it was protected. Hope to be back soon! We came from Pennsylvania! Kristen and Andrew

WONDERFUL PLACE!!

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Mitchell’s lodge. The location is perfect and the other guest were very friendly. The best part was the owner Phyllis. She brought over some delicious salmon dip with crackers and invited us to her beautiful garden to explore. She even gave us a few cuttings of her plants in which I just planted in our garden at home. We will definitely be back! Tom & Genna Martin

Good Location, but that’s it.

A good location puts you in the heart of Islamorada on the bay side, but that’s about it for pros. Unit is small & uncomfortable , 2 people is max, Murphy bed doesn’t work, rattan furniture old & outdated, bed needs new mattress, W/D & dishwasher should only be run when you are out as they are cheap & loud. 2 crappy ‘14” flat screens, no “nice” additions like beach chairs, swim stuff (noodles, rafts), kayak,SUP- owner squeezes every dime out of this rental & is unresponsive, even ornery when you do talk to her. There are definitely better places to stay!
