About this property

Villa located on the water Free marina, and trailer parking.


Private, secluded villa faces Florida Bay in view of the fabulous Everglades. Located in a lush tropical hammock in a quiet residential area (rare), the villa is approx. 50 feet from the water. The property contains a wading beach and a free marina with night lights, power and water.

Free onsite boat ramp, marina, and trailer parking.

The villa itself comes with a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, linens, queen and king beds, Cable TV, VCR, and a Florida room for dining. Windows in the living room and bedroom cover two thirds of the wall giving the feeling of the outdoors being in during the day and easy open/close window coverings provide privacy at night. This is a small house, near the water, no high-rise, no canal, and no density of people problem. This is a laid-back atmosphere for those who desire it.

Located on Upper Matecumbe Key, the "downtown" area of Islamorada, the property is quiet and hidden. Boats up to 25' are secure in our protected marina. Most trailers are able to launch from the property but a few extra-wide may have to use nearby launching places. There is trailer parking on the property as well as two parking places per unit. There are seven units on the property.


Free use of the village park(tennis, pickle ball, beach, pool, and dog park) is provided to guests. There are three state parks in the Islamorada area and the owner will provide passes. You are within walking distance to the best restaurants, shopping, and attractions. Free electric "taxis" are able to take you anywhere in town. Grocery, fishing and boating supplies are conveniently close.

Islamorada proudly calls itself the 'Fishing Capital of the World' and fishermen love us!
Located close to the best backcountry fishing on the edge of the Everglades, we are also able to easily access reef and blue water fishing. Our immediate bay provides fun catching tarpon and easy fishing on our seawall at night is a guest favorite. Owner has names of boat rental places and guides for all types of fishing and snorkeling. Next door to us is Back Country Cowboy. They rent kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, as well as bicycles. our bay is the perfect, protected area for all water activities. Oceanside, we have some of the best snorkeling and scuba areas in the Keys!

There's never a dull moment at our marina. We have an Osprey nest nearby. If you clean fish, you'll have lots of bird friends. Other visitors are manatees, octopi, and nurse sharks.
This property is treasured by guests and owners alike. The privacy is wonderful, the property peaceful, and the villas kept clean and updated. Most of our guests come year after year. Some have met friends one year and make the same dates together the next year. The size of the property is perfect- not too big, just right.

Three or four years ago, Fox News had a "US Best Sunsets" contest. Someone submitted one of our guest's pictures and we recognized it! "Our sunset" won over thousands submitted. Come and enjoy the best The Keys has to offer. Best location, best property, best fishing, and the best sunsets.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Mitchell

Host profile image
We are Bob and Phyllis Mitchell and have loved the Keys since we moved to Florida in the late 60's. I was an airline pilot for 25 years and at the same time worked as the Marketing Manager for Florida Sportsman Magazine. I am now retired. Phyllis is a retired teacher and professor who now works as a volunteer to a long list of organizations from the local parks to looking out for abandoned or abused children in the Keys. We both are very community involved and are on many Village committees. We love fishing, especially when our grandchildren are visiting. We did many years of offshore fishing and after that many years of backcountry but are now slowing down on that. Our big love is plants and gardening and we love to keep the Villa property native and beautiful as well as our nearby house on an acre. We will be thrilled to give you a tour of the local plants and what we have done with the Villa property and ours.

Why they chose this property

We have loved the Keys since we moved to Florida in the late 60's. Within a few years we discovered the most delightful Keys hideout in Islamorada that is now the Keys Villa we own and rent. At the time it was a small non-typical motel with just a few units. The Villa is a small house on the property, comfortable for four people, and is free standing on an acre property with a free protected Marina. We keep it clean, constantly up-dated and remodeled, and very comfortable for our guests. The small town laid back atmosphere was very attractive but it took us until 1984 for this villa to come up for sale. There are three other rental accomodations, owned by friends, on the property so it is very quiet. We love it so much that we bought the property two doors north where we now live. We are nearby for your needs but not there unless you need us.

What makes this property unique

The property is so quiet with so few guests that folks naturally socialize. Nightly visits to the bay for the sunset, drinks and snacks become a norm. Maybe half the guests to the property are return people for years. A big hit is the occasional visits by an octopus which darts around changing colors as she passes over the bottom. Years ago one was feeding on the shrimp in my bait bag and when the bag was taken away from her she started putting her tenacles up on the dock looking for more. Soft heart, I fed her a few.
