Exceptional
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Very pretty, cottage/chalet-style rooms with nearby gated parking, immaculate condition, beautiful beach area with kayaks & paddle boards. Staff are super-friendly!
Only downside is the sandflies, the no-see-ums were brutal – even in November! Each cottage has its own supply outside the door, but bring as many insect repellants as you can, and itch relief.
Besides that, ask for the gate code in advance as you need to get your car inside to check-in at the office.
Wonderful stay. Property well maintained. Bungalow had a nice laid back Florida Keys feel. Beach area was great with nice seating and kayaks. Beautiful sunset. Staff was exceptional. Would not hesitate to go back.

Loved everything about our stay. Such a cute little resort. Nice and quiet. Beautiful landscaping. Plenty of outdoor beach seating. We had a standard room which was still roomy and perfect for us and decorated nice. We both slept great every night. We did have a small leak under the bathroom sink and it was taken care of right away. Check in was easy and the manager was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful and Magical Resort
Peaceful and magical resort. Immaculately manicured grounds, very clean rooms with comfortable beds, and excellent location. Innkeepers Sue and Steve are highly attentive to their guests and ensure a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
The management team is very personable and pays attention to detail. The property is immaculate. Ocean front with great views! We enjoyed Harriet's breakfast nearby and a speakeasy called the armory. We were on our honeymoon and the staff made sure we enjoyed every moment! Laundry machines on site and quality coffee. Love this resort, we will return.
First time at Island Bay Resort and it won’t be our last! Only ten, individual cottages, all adorable! Our room was closest to the water, so cute and spotless! The grounds were meticulous! Tropical and beautifully lit at night. My husband caught fish off the dock and we enjoyed relaxing on their beach, which was raked daily with chairs and umbrellas provided. They also provide kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel equipment. If you’re looking for a place to stay for your next get-a-way in the Florida Keys, I highly recommend you book here! You won’t regret it!
The perfect getaway. Tropical vibes. Dining nearby. Parking on site. No kids. Quiet. Can’t beat it if you’re looking to get away on a relaxing trip. Owner was super nice. Definitely earned my business for the future.
The Host was very personable and informative. With only 10 cottages, and adults only, it was very quiet and relaxing, with everything you needed to unwind.

Island Bay…. accommodation must for Key Largo
Cannot recommend Island Bay highly enough! Absolutely everything there that you could possibly need….. spotlessly clean , both accommodation and communal areas! Sue & Steve are a wonderful couple….. nothing was too much trouble. Only wish we had stayed longer!
This place was absolute paradise. From the moment you enter the gate to the second you leave, it is an absolute dream. It’s a tropical paradise but even better because it’s so small and so intimate. The beach is quiet and never too busy. The cottages are absolutely adorable and meticulously clean. The bay is AMAZING. We had coffee on our porch every morning with the friendly little lizards. We kayaked and saw green iguanas in the mangroves. We fed the snappers off of the dock. Our last day at the resort, we saw 2 large sting rays and a 7ft nurse shark swim into the shallow area and under the dock. We will be back again and again. Absolutely amazing and the owner is the sweetest.
