The Butterfly House Islamorada
You don’t want to miss this! Old Florida charm in the heart of Islamorada on a half-acre private oasis. The Butterfly House is a unique waterfront property offering amazing sunsets from your private dock. The house is nestled in a lush, fenced estate next door to the world-famous Lorelei Restaurant. Enjoy your private pool, jacuzzi, tiki bar, dock, basketball court and much more. Perfect for families and comfortably hosts up to 7 guests. Book now to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Property Layout:
The Butterfly House consists of two separate living spaces: the main house and a detached back cottage. This setup works well for families or groups who want shared space along with a bit of privacy.
Main House (3 Bedrooms / 2 Full Bathrooms):
- Ocean Room (Primary Bedroom): King bed with an ensuite bathroom. This bathroom also connects to the Palm Room and can be locked for privacy if desired.
- Palm Room: Queen bed.
- Coral Room: Two twin beds.
Back Cottage:
The detached back cottage includes a queen bed and a private en suite full bathroom. It’s ideal for guests wanting a quieter, more private space while still being part of the group.
All bedrooms are equipped with smart TVs.
The property is designed to be enjoyed both on and off the water:
- Private dock with sunset views
- Fish-cleaning station located directly on the dock
- Outdoor standard refrigerator/freezer
- Ice machine located by the tiki bar
- Private pool and jacuzzi
- Tiki bar
- Basketball court
Fully fenced yard on a 0.56 acre lot
Lorelei Restaurant is located next door and features live music nightly from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Most guests enjoy the waterfront atmosphere and consider the music part of the Keys experience while sitting on the dock with a drink and watching the sunset. That said, we recognize it's not for everyone, so we like to be transparent that the music can be heard from the property during those hours. The music is most noticeable at the dock and waterfront areas, while sound levels are significantly lower near the main house and porch.
Fishing is a big part of how the property is set up. Boat dockage is included with your book but draft requirements apply. The largest boat previously docked at the property was approximately 36+ feet. Guests are responsible for confirming compatibility for their vessel.
Parking & Boats:
- Large driveway with ample parking
- One boat and one trailer allowed per booking
Security & Privacy:
For transparency and guest safety, the property is equipped with exterior security cameras that monitor entry points and outdoor areas only. There are no interior cameras, and guest privacy inside the home is fully respected.
Just a heads up, our pool service comes twice a week and our landscaping crew once a week. They access the property through the front gate and may arrive within a wide time window without notice. Pool service is usually Monday and Friday, and landscaping is typically Friday or Saturday. It’s the Keys, we’re happy when everyone shows up! If you’re bringing pets, please keep this in mind so they don’t try to slip out when the gate is opened.
If you’re looking for a cozy, charming Keys home with character, space, and true waterfront, the Butterfly House is a special place to slow down, fish, swim, and enjoy island time together.
Located on the beach, this vacation home is in Matecumbe, a neighborhood in Islamorada. Hurricane Monument and Indian Key Historic State Park are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Florida Keys Brewing Co. and Islamorada Brewery & Distillery. Ready for a night out? Consider Lorelei Restaurant & Cabana Bar and Hog Heaven. With scuba diving, snorkeling, and motor boating nearby, you'll find plenty of adventures in the water.
