Island Bay is the perfect tropical getaway. It only has 10 rooms, but they are spectacular cottages. The grounds and indoor decor are impeccable. The sunsets are unmatched. The adults-only, gated property was peaceful, and a joy to kick back in. Also, plenty of opportunity to fish, snorkel, or kayak.
What a VIP experience. We felt like the most important couple at the resort. Pristine conditions at every step and friendliness to the MAX! Highly recommend and would love to visit again!
Beautiful, clean darling cottages! The property is very well kept and has a pretty private beach with nice views! Very pleasant owners that were quick to respond with any request. Close to numerous restaurants and stores. Highly recommend for a lovely weekend getaway!♥️
This place is a Gem. Very clean comfortable bungalows. Staff is always cleaning and dependable. Nice little quiet beach with kayaks and paddle boards. Even has a boat dock. This place is well cared for.
The staff was great. It's a small gated property with impecable grounds. The weather was unseasonably chilly which affected our visit but obviously not the resort's fault. Our efficiency cabin was very cozy. The housekeeping was great and they work hard to keep everything clean. The room felt stuffy. You can't open the windows. Overall a nice stay.
Island Bay Resort is a little gem. From the warm welcome by Anna to the unique comfortable rooms and immaculately landscaped grounds. Highly recommended and our first choice resort should we be back to the Keys.
Very cute place, the room was clean and nice for the two of us. Right on the water bayside, on this trip we didn't take advantage on it as it was on the cooler side
Although I did not see any bugs, I have over 50 bug bites all over my body. Thinking they might have bitten me while I was under that tiki hut in the big chair with the green pillows and bamboo waterfall while reading a book. Suggest putting a bug zapper in that area too. Otherwise, it all was beautiful and very well maintained. Great attention to detail!!
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.
