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.

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!

This boutique cottage-based resort is a gem. We found the owners/operators (Steve & Sue) to be gracious and super-friendly as they seek to accommodate their guests and keep everything looking picture-perfect. It's a bit of paradise!

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!
