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!

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!

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.
