The house faces west for spectacular sunsets. You are surrounded by pristine boating and swimming water the best gulf and bay fishing on the west coast of Florida. You will have use of 2 stand up paddle boards, 2 double person kayaks, 2 children's kayaks and a canoe. We also have a variety of fishing poles but for serious fisherman you should bring your own salt water fly or cast rods.Wildlife. During a typical stay you will see dolphins playing off the beach, manatees often, tarpon, sea turtles and a large array of gulf coast fish. For bird lovers you will see and hear osprey, great horned owls, pileated woodpeckers, great blue herons, egrets, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, screech owls, white and brown pelicans, frigates, cormorants, anhingas and many other sea birds. There are no poisonous snakes or other dangerous wildlife on island....
Fishing. Fly and cast fishing is epic as the waters surrounding the island are nick-names by the locals as "The Kitchen" - and are teeming with gulf coast fish.
Beach-coming is also wonderful on property and along the sandbar. Exploring our private island is fun for all. The kids will enjoy the 200' Zip line.
There is a massive number of family games, DVD's and High speed internet with Apple TV with access to Netflix and other movie options

FLTropical Vacation for a great price
Kelly March 2022 If you are looking for a tropical vacation for a great price, THIS is your place. It is a great place to get away from the everyday business of life. Stephen was an excellent host and quick to answer any questions that he had while on the island. The house is everything it is described as and more. Great place for a multi family vacation with plenty of space. Great fishing from the pier and plenty of amazing restaurants you can reach from the water. High recommend this house for a family vacation.Susan
A special memorable and magical experience.
Susan March 2022 We had the extreme good fortune and pleasure of staying at Ellis House, March 25-29, 2022 to remember and celebrate our parent's extraordinary lives with our extended family. From the day we first contacted hosts Steve and Catherine, it was clear that providing a special, memorable and magical experience for our family was absolutely paramount to them. As beautiful as Steve and Catherine's photos are, nothing will prepare you for the breathtakingly lavish tropical reality of Ellis House and grounds. We were completely seduced and overjoyed by the accommodations and quiet, ravishing, off-the-grid oasis enjoyed by all in this wonderful home and location. There was something for every age group (18 to 90 in ours) and all had an unforgettable experience. From the glorious sunrise and sunsets, the rabbits and bird life, to the turquoise waters and get-there-only-by-boat seclusion and exclusivity, this was the ultimate getaway for our extended family. If you want to feel the idyllic and peaceful side of tropical island living without traveling to the Caribbean or South Pacific, then Ellis House is for you. There is not a bad view to be had--every room and window frames a paradise. And they often framed one of our family enjoying paradise. Kayaking, paddle boarding, playing ball on the private beach, swimming, shelling and just relaxing on the lovely balconies and hammocks, there was something for all to share and experience. The island path is not to be missed, as is the walk out to the famous sand bar at low tide. Coffee and an early morning stroll are the utmost pleasure. One memorable dawn we saw dogs "running on water" cavorting with happy yelps all over the submerged mid-tide sand bar before they jumped back into their boat and motored away. All unforgettable moments where every day brings a special surprise.Barnaby
England, UKAbsolutely stunning house.
Barnaby, England, United Kingdom April 2022 This is an absolutely stunning house. Steve really is a wonderful host too, with great knowledge of the local area and always available to advise or help. We can highly recommend this place, just hope we can visit again one day.Jeff
FLIt was Perfect.
Jeff June 2022 I wish we could give 10 stars for our week at the island house, it was that perfect. We took our family of 9, 6 adults and 3 children (ages 5, 4, and 20 months) and the house had everything you could dream of... quiet spots, gathering spots, a beautiful view, and a beautiful home. There are so many little seating nooks all over the property, including hammocks, that if you needed time to yourself, it was there. The zip line was a hit with the older two grandchildren, and the adults enjoyed "zipping" them back and forth! So many water activities, close enough to the sand bar to have picnic lunches on the boat while the kids swam. Fishing off the dock and out in the boat, sunset cruises, exploring new restaurants and never getting in a hot and steamy car all week were highlights. I fell in love with the outdoor shower, too! Stephen was the perfect host. He was readily available to answer questions and assist with anything we needed, which was minimal. Our family has decided this will be a regular vacation spot and we can't wait to share it with a FEW friends, We kind of want to keep this gem to ourselves!William
