Bayview Villa- Pet-Friendly Waterfront Paradise. A fisherman's dream!

We have recently completed an inside and outside renovation. The Bayview Villa is a private, secluded villa facing Florida Bay and in view of the fabulous Everglades and gorgeous sunsets. Quick access to offshore fishing. Located in a lush tropical hammock in a quiet, one acre residential area (rare). The villa is approx. 30 feet from the water. The property contains a wading beach and a free marina with night lights, power and water. An enclosed patio offers private outdoor grill and dining.

The villa itself comes with a fully-equipped new stainless kitchen, full size LG washer and dryer, linens, two queen and one king beds, Cable TV, and a dining room. French doors in the dining area face the bay, spacious 700 square foot patio,and marina giving the feeling of the outdoors being in. Beautiful glass block showers with pebble floors are in both baths.

Islamorada proudly calls itself the 'Fishing Capital of the World' but there is so much more to do

Peace on the Water

When you walk in the front door of this little villa, you are immediately drawn to the wide back doors and the beautiful water view beyond. This is where we spent most of our time, on the back patio, which belongs just to this villa, and the waterfront patio, which is a shared space for all the villas. The location of Bayview Villa was perfect for us as we could walk to many of the nice restaurants that have waterfront dining. The Publix is very close and there's also a walkable CVS. The space was very clean and was set up well for the four adults that visited.

Relaxing Hideaway

The bayside villa was comfortable, well supplied, and pleasantly decorated. The owner is very personable and easy to work with. This is a quiet spot with safe dockage for your boat and easy access to the bay or ocean side. The patio couldn't be a nicer spot for relaxing, enjoying the georgeous sunsets, and watching the sun go down.

Not our first stay and definitely not our last

Mitchell’s properties in Islamorada is our happy place! From the moment we arrive, we are relaxed. We snorkel around the sea wall and fish in the bay. From the sea wall, we saw manatee, dolphin, rays, sharks, reef fish, tarpon, and the list keeps going. Very family friendly and the small number of rental properties near make it quieter and friendlier than most places. Clean and immaculately landscaped. The Bayview Villa was very comfortable and well stocked. The location is close to dining, a great bait shop, cute boutiques, and stores like Publix and Dollar Tree for incidentals. Favorite restaurants like Mangrove Mike’s and Overseas Kitchen are walking distance. Go to Olive Morada for Lime Olive Oil and Coconut white balsamic to cook your catch for the day and grill it at the house. Don’t forget to go to Bitton’s across the street for Gelato when it gets hot. We spend the whole week trying to figure out how we can stay forever.

Exceptional!

This is the perfect getaway in the Florida Keys. We loved the dock for relaxing and it's also well prepared for those who like to fish or have a boat. You can walk across the street to the Bitton Cafe for an excellent espresso and pastry. Groceries are also close by. Also across the street is a small brewery with a cute tasting room and a few nice gift shops. Tackle is also within walking distance. But why would anyone want to leave this adorable house and patio???? The yard is well-kept with interesting plants and animals. Even the squirrels will come up to meet you. We had a manatee swim up to the dock for a drink of fresh water--a great surprise! Mr. Mitchell was a great host. We can't wait for next year. Thank you Bob!

Happy holiday

We stayed at Mitchell’s bay view villa early January this year, it was a return visit Fabulous setting for this very comfortable and clean villa. Bob Mitchell, the owner, is a charming gentleman, who lives nearby, plenty of good eating places within walking distance and the sunsets are fantastic viewing from the boat dock

Paradise

My husband and I recently vacationed at the bayside villa. The views are amazing and the villa is updated and clean. You can dock a boat and drop a pole in the water right outside the villa. Or you can just sit and watch the manatee, dolphins and plenty of marine life. We enjoyed are stay so much we are going back next year. Kathy & Tom - Port St. Lucie

Beautiful cottage on the water

Bayview Villa is a spectacular property, right on the water. The cottage is very well kept and has everything needed for a great vacation. Spectacular sunsets and gorgeous views make this one of the prettiest vacation spots we've visited.
