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.

The property was beautiful with lots of lush tropical plants. The downside was that the interior of our unit was palpably moist. The efficiency aspect of the unit enabled us to eat breakfast each morning before heading out. The “beach” on the property was well maintained and provided gorgeous views of the water. Use care with the paddleboat - the rudder was not working correctly and we had to go in circles to get it back on land.

Paradise found!

There’s a reason all the reviews scored so high. You’d be hard pressed to find a more private and inspired place while in Maui! Fabulous doesn’t describe how well the grounds are maintained. The staff was equally excellent looking after your every desire. Directly on the beach with free use of all their equipment. I can’t say enough good things. You’ll regret staying anywhere else!

A little bit of paradise

Great place to turn off the iPhone and relax. Bring your snacks, build a charcuterie board or two and pop a cork. Wonderful calm area to kayak or paddle board even if you’re not a pro. Nice bay cove with iguanas! Sue and Steve’s hospitality is exceptional.

Lovely oasis just outside key largo. It’s a strip of land where there’s 10 individual bungalows and ours was beautifully furnished. The grounds are well lit & the strip leads down to private access to a beach / marina which provides paddle boards / canoes & pedaloes. There’s hardly any access to beach / marina in key largo or around & all properties section off their own portion of the water. Bed very comfy & very relaxing. Hosts very friendly too. Thoroughly recommended.

WOW !

I don't think I ever titled a review "WOW." But it's finally time. This remarkable little place is a cultivated and designed environment of paradise. Behind a security gate (for which guests are given the code), is a row of adorable casitas. Each is wonderfully landscaped, and beautifully appointed. They sit along a stone paved alley that leads down to a private beach on the Bayside. All sorts of little places are available outdoors to relax, read, listen to small fountains, look out of the water, and watch the sunset. Included are kayaks, a paddle boat, and a beautiful little dock with Adirondack chairs to watch the sunset. At night the stony drive illuminated with fairy lights and electric torch lights. It is nothing short of otherworldly. The caretakers of this small property are so friendly, approachable and devoted to the needs of guests and the creative cultivation of the property (eg every morning they comb the beach sand like a Zen garden). The smallest of amenities are provided like dehumidifier in the room, insect repellent, and each little casita has a small kitchen. Truly one of the most unique, beautiful and relaxing, small resort properties in South Florida.
