About the host
Hosted by Kelly Dell
Gregory and Kelly Dell, both attorneys working in Hollywood, Florida, purchased our first vacation rental property in 2005 and we love sharing our properties with people that are looking to have an awesome vacation and create wonderful memories with family and friends. All of our properties are located in the top travel destinations. Through years of owning vacation rental properties we have learned exactly what it takes to create a great experience for our guests. We are available to answer any of our questions and we encourage you to review our pictures and video for an accurate representation of the property. We thank you for considering our property and look forward to hosting your next vacation.
Why they chose this property
As Florida residents our entire lives, our families would always visit the Florida keys and we have amazing memories. We always wanted to have a Florida Keys property but it was difficult to find one that offered privacy, beachfront on the gulf side with deep water dockage, acreage, and ability to host great events. In the beginning of Covid we randomly saw a for sale sign for this property that we never knew existed. Upon entering the property for the first time it created a special feeling that we had never experienced in the Florida Keys and realized that it had the potential to be an amazing vacation rental destination and venue for weddings and other special events.
What makes this property unique
If you have ever been to the Florida Keys, then you know that beaches are rare and most houses are located one on top of the next. The Keys Compound offers privacy and space that is hard to find in the Keys. The Keys offers homes on the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Side sunsets in the Keys are legendary and many visitors to our property claim that our unobstructed views offers one of the best sunset they have ever seen. The Florida keys does not offer much beach front property so our property is very rare in that we have beach front and and sandy bay bottom with a private lagoon type setup for swimming and hanging out in the water. The water is always warm year round!!! We have a wall to protect the beach erosion and there are three steps to enter the water. Our four cottages allow multiple families and friends to be together, yet seek privacy when needed. The property has been completely renovated and updated to make for a super clean and comfortable experience. Paddle board, kayak or take your boat out straight from the backyard. Our dock is a fish sanctuary and you will see hundreds of fish swimming around constantly. You may even see a manatee or dolphin swim by every now and then. All of the best restaurants are close to our property and we have a Dairy Queen across he street which is great if you like blizzards!!! Its hard to keep the kids away from Dairy Queen every night! Our property managers are great and our available to immediately handle any unexpected housing issues. We look forward to hosting you and earning a five star review.
