Great Spot!

The Bayview Villa is everything you will need in the Keys. The Villa slept 6 adults comfortably. The accommodations were great. The boat basin is perfect. My 25' boat fit easily. I will rent again!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect Destination

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay, Bob was so gracious and helpful. The location was right in the water, with a personal deck and marina. We have already planned to go back next year!

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.

Darby's favorite vacation spot

I can’t say enough about the hospitality and the beautiful property of Mitchell’s Bayview Villa. This will be our 4th stay and our first stay in the Bayview. The weather was so beautiful and you just feel like you are in your own home! Your place is a paradise! Our Goldador Darby just loved staying there and watching all the wildlife. The fenced in patio made it so nice for her!! Thanks again Bob and Phyllis for a wonderful stay and we look forward to seeing you next year! Ro and Jay Baker

Wonderful pet friendly spot

We have been coming here for a few years and love it. The location is right on the bay and very quiet with terrific sunsets. The villa is very spacious and has everything you could need. The best part is the large patio where we spend our days with our dog and enjoy dinner and the sunsets. The décor is beautiful and everything is clean and comfortable. All the people are very friendly and the owners are wonderful. One of favorite vacations!

Way more than just a vacation rental, Everlasting Memories!

Not only are the accommodations outstanding, the view is breathtaking. It is the most tranquil place to go for a relaxing and also activity filled vacation. You are secluded from the busy world and it is the perfect place to de-stress. The regulars are wonder people and are now my friends forever. Sunset Happy Hour is a never miss for me. Very pet friendly. I've been a fan since 2010.

Thank you Bob and Pyllis for another great time. We so enjoyed our stay again this year. We met some fantastic people and of course the fishing was awesome and let me not forget to mention the fresh key limes for my pies. Looking forward to the same time next year.

Once again, the Mitchell's have done it. A dream of a place, our secret in the Keys. Love the new renovations in the smaller one. You have it just right for the ambiance one looks for in the Keys. Thank you, we'll see you again when the moon & tides are right John & Debra
