This one is definitely for dreamers, or a realist who is REALLY in need of a break! Averaging around $1,850/ night, it costs a pretty penny but is definitely worth swooning over! This gorgeous beach house has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms; it sits on a private, 2 acre, palm tree-lined island and sleeps up to 10 people. The island has a 300ft private beach and a boat dock and is only accessible by boat. All of the bedrooms open out onto decks and the master bedroom deck even has an outdoor clawfoot tub and shower! Sign me up! The house also has an open-air feel to it when you slide open the sliding pocket doors and step out onto the large screened-in decks. The water here is great for fishing, kayaking, and SUP boarding. You definitely won’t get bored here!

Read why past guests want to keep this gem to themselves:
–“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!”
–“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.”
This is that once-in-a-lifetime vacation you need in your life right now! If you plan to stay here, please stow me away in your suitcase!
