9 Million Dollar 2.5 Acre Bayside Beach Compound w Boat Dockage is One of A Kind

We stayed in Ellis house (12 people total) - 8 adults and 4 little children (under 5 yrs) and had a great time. What a property! For sure, it really felt like a resort with so many things for the adults and kids to do. Swimming, mini golf, soccer, paddle board, firepit. We rented a boat for 3 days and docked at the property. Response from host was great - this is a big property so we simply alerted her when needed. We did have an issue that required a service call and so her responsiveness in handling this is important.In terms of safety around the pool, the doors have a secondary safety latch for evenings (at top and bottom) and we brought a kids safety latch for the door knob which was very important for the day time. We brought our own life jackets and swim gear for the kids - there is some down by the kayaks, but we didn't need them.There is so much outside seating for both shade lovers and sun seekers. Kitchen was stocked with basic spices - fridge was empty and clean. We did buy ice every day - it just couldn't keep up with as much as we needed.We really enjoyed the screened in porch for night time meals. It houses a table big enough for everyone and kid friendly cleanup.

This property exceeds all expectations and pictures on the listing. BOOK IT NOW if you are on the fence!! We (10 of us) stayed in the LARGE Ellis House. The house, the views and the property are gorgeous. Be sure to make dinner reservations AFTER sunset if you aren’t eating at the house. It is spectacular. Tavernier is a 10 minute drive to Key Largo or Islamorada. Such a fantastic location in the upper keys. Kelly is on top of any and all questions or concerns and takes care of anything property related asap. She is a lovely person to communicate with and has excellent follow up and follow through. Breakfast on the large lanai every morning was a fantastic way to start the day with fresh air and views. Somehow between scuba diving, spearfishing, party boating, and dining out, we found time to use the pickle ball courts, pool, jacuzzi, fire pit and tiki hut. This was our first time in the keys. We get it, we love it, take our money! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for your amazing property.

Easy check-in, fantastic property, unbelievably clean, great hosts. From the minute we checked-in, we knew we had picked the right place. Half of my party arrived by boat, the other half by car. House is big and beautiful and CLEAN. Pools were immaculate. A/C was ice cold. Beds were comfy. Host (Kelly) was fantastic in getting back to us with answers to our questions. WE WILL BE BACK !!!

An amazing property. An exceptional host. So many great things to say! Plenty of room in a beautiful well maintained house. The pool right outside the back door was our happy place. Many TVs, a cool video arcade game, outstanding mattresses (which was a huge plus), and the multiple refrigerator space was perfect. The kitchen layout was great! Ate inside at the large table and at the long table on the screened in porch and even on the patio tables by the pool. So many amenities from a Keurig coffee maker to wine cooler to a paddle board to kayaks to fishing gear. Plus, wonderful pickle ball courts and equipment!Fire pit down by the sunset. Wifi everywhere (even in the beach). Restaurants, excursions, and so many things nearby. But we hardly left the great property because that was so fun. We WILL stay there again. The best VRBO I have ever rented! We even met Kelly, the host, and her wonderful family. Exceptional people! Thank you for helping us create such a treasured family memory.

Our family of six and nanny had the best time renting the Ellis House and staying at the Bayside Compound. The Ellis House was the perfect size for our group of 7 and we loved the access to both pools on the property. The Ellis House had everything we needed, a pack and play for our 18 month old, a pool with pool toys for our 6, 8, and 10 year olds, and a gourmet kitchen for the adults. The hosts, Kelly and Greg, were wonderful, so kind, and accommodating. They did everything in their power to make sure our stay was perfect and we greatly appreciated it! Traveling with 4 young children is always an adventure but this property made it easy! I would love to come back, bring a few other families, and rent the cottages along with the Ellis House. This compound has the right structure for a trip with a large group! I could even see it being perfect for an intimate wedding or a corporate retreat. The sunsets over the bay were a stunning treat, every evening. We saw a mother and baby manatee off the dock on our last day and our kids were so excited. The kayaks made for a fun activity along with fishing and snorkeling in the bay. We saw Parrot fish, hermit crabs, and sea stars and didn’t even have to leave the property. I cannot recommend this spot enough, we enjoyed every second!

Highly recommend this property!

Wonderful place for a family reunion w kids

What a beautiful location. The property had everything you could ask for - tons of space, all the toys (pools, hot tub, kayaks, floats and paddle boards) and was immaculate. Was a wonderful experience for our extended family with plenty of large gathering areas. Kelly was a great host and very responsive through the process, once we arrived we had all that we needed. We especially loved the abundance of beach towels. Great experience.

Our family really enjoyed this property. It had fabulous amenities. Perfect for all ages. Communication with the host was tremendous as well. We our already planning on a return trip next year!!

Property as advertised and worked out great for us. Would stay again
