Island Bay is a well kept, friendly, and reasonably priced resort in the Florida Keys.

Private, clean, quiet. Staff was very helpful and informative.

Parking is a little tight, but manageable. Unfortunately the rental was a full size truck instead of the mid size we ordered.

Tranquil beach, with 10 lovely cottages and friendly folk, really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful private beach, amazing view of the sunset. Cottages are comfortable and cosy with everything you need to cook and also relax. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We would certainly stay again.

It’s close to the main road, so traffic can be a bit noisy.

Great small scale resort

Great little place with not too many rooms, which made it more cozy than larger motels/hotels. The people managing the place were great and had various tips with regards to places to eat for breakfast/lunch and dinner! Lovely area by the beach to relax in the sun and there were paddle boards and kayaks to go explore the area!

I had a lovely time.

It’s beautiful and for the most part relaxing.

There was noise from construction nearby. The housekeeper didn’t come the second day and would have skipped the third, but I caught her.

Un séjour magnifique hors du temps.

Magnifique petit coin de paradis insoupçonnable depuis la route. On est complètement déconnecté de l’extérieur. Petite plage privée avec kayaks, paddles, bouées, transats, hamacs, etc… . Tout est très bien pensé et fait avec goût. Les chambres sont toutes différentes et on aimerait les visiter toutes ! On sympathise rapidement avec nos voisins car c’est une petite structure. Personnel très agréable et discret. Un endroit vraiment à part.

Nous regrettons de ne pas être resté plus longtemps…

Relaxing!

Beautiful garden and free kayak, stand up paddle.

Nothing to do with the resort by travelers should come prepared: mosquitoes are always there because of the climate snd vegetation, bring appropriate clothing and insect repellent.

Well run, relaxing and attractive spot!

I echo what the vast majority of positive reviewers have said about Island Bay Resort. This is a really well run, well maintained, and attractive location. It has its own private sandy beach, nice comfortable porch decks on each unit, facilities (such as washers, dryers, outdoor showers) to help out with all your needs, Easy access to nearby restaurants. We would most definitely book a stay here again next time in the Keys, and would certainly recommend it highly to anyone thinking of staying here.

Absolutely nothing. Met all of our expectations and more.

Over-priced and unfriendly staff

We have just returned from a 6 night stay at this over-priced and unfriendly “resort”. Firstly, it is not a resort, it is a selection of tiny cottages, chargeable laundry facilities and some sun loungers and hammocks. Secondly, the hotel states it doesn’t allow children. However, they had no issues with children running around during the night and during the day from a nearby villa. Additionally, on our arrival we asked if we could have a late check out as our flight was at 9pm. We were told yes that’s no problem as they had no bookings for our cottage until the day after we were leaving. However, the most unfriendly and unhelpful member of staff told us at 12.50pm we had to vacate the cottage by 1pm as they had taken a booking. Had we been made aware we could have planned our day differently, but to be given 10 minutes notice to leave was totally unacceptable. The staff member had no interest in our well-being, only in their own profiteering. Would I recommend this hotel? Certainly not, there’s much nicer resorts in the area with more amicable staff who are interested in making sure your holiday is a pleasant one. One final point, there’s nobody on-site after 6pm and they don’t respond to any emails if you require assistance, just like we did when there were lizards in the room which additionally has an unbearable eggy smell.

We had an amazing time and loved staying at your resort!

We absolutely loved the grounds and the attention to details through the resort…inside and outside!

Uncomfortable chairs at dining table and the moldy/musty smell in the bedroom.

This was a great place to stay. Definitely a connection back to "Old Florida".

Not applicable. The hotel does not serve food.

The owners have placed air filtration units in each room, but they struggle to make the mustiness of south Florida go away completely.

Book now! You will LOVE it!

Island Bay is absolutely gorgeous! No detail has been missed. As you walk down to the water’s edge you will see so many surprises. Perfectly placed shells beside one of the hammocks or a driftwood sculpture along the way. I stayed in the Bridges suite. It was spotlessly clean, modern and fabulous. There were hibiscus blooms tucked into the beach towels placed on the bed!

Our first trip to the keys, so not sure what to expect, Island Bay was terrific.

Beautiful little cottages, facilities very clean and in fantastic shape. Nice private beach and plenty of things to do, kayaks, peddle boats, paddle boards, etc.

Superb

Island Bay was really great. 2 things. I know it's Florida and roaches are a thing. Found one big enough for a saddle, I quietly discarded it before wife saw. Second, no change at the front office for laundry machines. They do have a bill change machine in the laundry room which is convenient. I needed a couple quarters to finish laundry and had to cross A1A by foot to the gas station. ( I only had change from my car cup holder as I don't carry cash.) A little inconvenient but overall this is a beautiful place. Brand new bbq grills for what looked like every room. Grounds meticulously kept and pristine. Hammocks, lounge chairs, kayaks, paddle boards and boats all free to use. I enjoyed snorkeling under the dock. Some broken cinder blocks made a great little reef with all kinds of fish. I will definitely go back and would recommend to anyone looking for a post card view, comfortable amenities and friendly hosts and staff. Would have given a perfect score if not for the roach.. Otherwise, chefs kiss!
