We’ve been staying at this property for over five years and this year it was very evident it hasn’t been kept up. weeds everywhere pool was filthy, broken Landscaping, etc.

The property itself was good, clean however not as described. On the website when booking states accessible outside grills, there was only one and propane gas not given. So grill is useless. Beach area was not described, there is no beach. The kayaks describes are not on this property is in the second property, so none.
Just overall disappointed. Too much $$ for what is given.

We were excited to come back since we stayed here in 2021 and loved it. But not so much this time. Ants… in the kitchen and bathrooms. They came and sprayed twice but they were still there. Then the lights in the bedroom randomly turn on at 2 am.. multiple times. I turn it off and it turns back on. We went to both resort pools multiple times and there were NEVER any pool towels. We always had to go search for someone. The Oceanside now has some inflatables in the water which are cool. But the first day my kid played on them and the stay was cool with it. The 2nd day they yelled at the kids saying we had to “rent” them. Trust me no one is renting those things. Thats ridiculous. It’s under construction/ renovation, which is fine but not once was that mentioned to me when I called or on their website. Heads up would’ve been nice. There is NO space in the bedrooms. No drawers for clothes. No closet for clothes. No choice but to live out your suit case. Icing on the cake was the fire alarm going off at 11 pm making my 3 year old scream her head off and scaring all of us. But it was just some system reset. All this wouldn’t be terrible if it wasn’t a $2500 stay. At that price I expect more. Very disappointed. We won’t be back.

My family of 5 stayed for 2 nights in villa unit 102. Overall, the outside property is nice. There is a larger resort associated with this property and we had use of the amenities but it is a 5 minute drive away. The resort amenities included 2 pools, large beach area, work out room and sports area. The pool at the villa area is much smaller.
Inside the condo. the kitchen was not wel supplied. There were only 2 pots, 1 pan and 1 colander. There is an oven but there are no baking pans or dishes that can go in the oven making it useless. It appeared previous guests placed something right on the racks and the oven was not cleaned after they left. There was still burnt food on the grates. There is also no toaster for breakfast items.
The 1.5 bathrooms are nice and updated.
The service from staff was poor. They didn’t come to clean and straighten up until 4:20pm right as we were arriving back after being gone all day. They did not clean anything but took the dirty laundry and did not leave clean wash clothes, hand towels or kitchen towels. I had to ask for these items on 2 separate occasions.
Also, the pullout couch linens were dirty with noticeable hair on the sheets. I called the office and they brought over new sheets but did not offer to change it for us.
This is my first negative experience with an Expedia or VRBO property.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful, with elegant decor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
The service was impeccable; every staff member I encountered was friendly, professional, and went out of their way to ensure my stay was perfect. From the swift check-in process to the personalized attention throughout my stay, I felt truly valued as a guest.
The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities one could need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the complimentary bottled water and the beautifully arranged toiletries.
The hotel's location was ideal, conveniently situated close to major attractions and transportation links, yet still providing a peaceful and quiet retreat from the bustling city.
Overall, my stay exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking outstanding service and a memorable experience. I look forward to returning in the future.

Lovely sister property to the Islander - Resort; the, Islander Bayside resort Townhomes are wonderful.
The Green Tuttle Inn. And the NEST across overseas highway great spirits & food. kitchens open until 10pm. 7 am green turtle breakfast. Or Mangrove Mike’s is a short walk North for breakfast.
First night we walked to Lorelei,
(15 minutes walk) for sunset. Best spot. This property is Slightly less than 2 miles NORTH from Bud and Mary’s marina and Lazy Days.
Ideal for family or larger groups two king beds one shared bath upstairs, half bath downstairs full kitchen Living room. Staff were always upbeat and friendly; free shuttle via golf cart to the Islander main resort. Also booked snorkeling and sandbar tour with Clearly Unique water sports vendor at our Islander Bayside resort. Golf cart shuttle picked us up at Islander Bayside, and dropped us at Cheeca Lodge, where we embarked 3.5 hours -
an hour snorkeling tour. Our captain Gunnar and first mate Brady, are professional, attentive, courteous, and marveled everyone with their knowledge of Different fish species we would encounter as we snorkeled.
Next stop the ISLAMORADA Sandbar for Sunday Funday. Perfect.
Chabby chic; centrally located. Great stay Islander Bayside Townhomes.

The villas are lovely, comfortable beds, lots of room and the pool area is great plus access to amenities at the islander hotel is a great bonus, lovely pools and beach area/restaurants.
My only negatives were we were in villa 102 and the road noise in the back bedroom was very loud, also the back bedroom needs curtains, it only had a Venetian blind and it was too light with the street lamps outside. Otherwise we loved this place and all the amazing staff who were so friendly.

Great 3-night stay at the Bayside Villas. Used all of the resort amenities at the Oceanside resort. Rented our own golf cart to go back and forth. Saltwater pool at the resort was fantastic. Drinks were fantastic. Food choices weren’t great for our kids, but we used the Villa kitchen for that. Villa may have a minor mold issues downstairs as it smelled a little musty (unit 110). Kitchen was missing coffee maker, pot holders, and cookie sheets. Otherwise decor was beautiful, beds and linens were fantastic, place was very quiet during the week, but busier on the weekend, and we would stay again. Preferred villa 110 had a nice water view from the balcony that we enjoyed.
3.0
Overall good experience, but I wouldn’t call this newly remodeled; it’s been touched up and has some newer furnishings in it. They still need to add some things for these to really be considered a townhome with a full kitchen. There were minimal dishes for cooking, and the cutlery is pretty bad. They also need to provide a broom and dustpan for cleanup between house service.

Once you arrive you have to go to the resort to check in, that is not said, then check out too and even worse still pay them a management fee. Everything closes at 10:00 pm to be a tourist I don't understand it, there are some bugs that when it gets dark you can't be out of the pool water or surroundings.

Nice property the boat slips were quite small and if they would have been mostly full it would have been verry hard to turn boat in the marina unless your boat was un 20 feet. There wasn't much to work with in the kitchen either pots were very limited and no pans were in our unit. The grounds and rooms were nice but could use some work in the bathrooms.
10.0
The view was phenomenal! The pool area sat right on the bay for gorgeous sunsets.
Our unit needed serious upgrade to kitchen appliances. At least 2 pieces didn’t work properly.

Great location, in the heart of Islamorada close to dining, some within close walking distance. The unit was a little outdated, but clean and adequate for our needs. The only negative was the moldy smell in the unit which was overpowering.

Would have liked a better view from the rooms.

the location and units great, access to the amenities at there other location, the islander, was a plus
kitchen could have used more, better items for cooking etc... and grill not working, no propane, promised it would be filled and didn't happen, important because many guest fish like we do and would like to cook there catch on the grill

Great friendly service. Clean units. Beautiful property. AC and humidity inside the unit is a problem. Had to keep AC very cold to hide moldy smell. Not very eco friendly as AC seemed to run 24/7. Also some carpenter ants found inside.

Second time we stayed here. First times at the Villas. Two bedroom townhouse style with full kitchen and washer n dryer was great for a family of five. Great staff. Easy check in. Spent most of our pool time at the Islander. Everyone loved it.
Our biggest issue was the key situation. Several times throughout the week all of keys would stop working. The Villas uses a different key system than the Islander. And there’s only someone in the Villas office during check in. We were part of a group of 18. And this caused a lot of issues. We had to wait up to and over an hour sometimes for someone to come over to make new keys.
We heard their reason for keys not working so many times we could recite it ourselves.
One of the villas had a 3 and 5 yr old that got locked in. Took an hour to get someone there. Almost called the fire department.
They need to update their key system. Or keep someone at the desk at all times at the Villas.
Everything else was great. We also used Clearly Unique for snorkeling and a Sandbar excursion. They run out of the Islander which was super convenient.
The fun crew were also great. Ricardo was great! My kids had a great time hanging and playing soccer, basketball, ping pong and a bunch of other activities.

I really like the location and the set up of the property the unit sizes were very good and all of the amenities made our stay more enjoyable
