Island Bay Resort is a little gem. From the warm welcome by Anna to the unique comfortable rooms and immaculately landscaped grounds. Highly recommended and our first choice resort should we be back to the Keys.
This place was absolutely beautiful. They surprised us with decorations in our room for our anniversary. Champagne and chocolates were an amazing touch. We will definitely be back! Their location allows for a sunset view over the water every night from a private beach and seating.
Super cute place. The pictures don’t do it justice. It is so cute!!!! Stayed 2 nights, but would have loved to stay longer!!! Will be back for sure!!!

Island Bay is the perfect tropical getaway. It only has 10 rooms, but they are spectacular cottages. The grounds and indoor decor are impeccable. The sunsets are unmatched. The adults-only, gated property was peaceful, and a joy to kick back in. Also, plenty of opportunity to fish, snorkel, or kayak.

Very cute place, the room was clean and nice for the two of us. Right on the water bayside, on this trip we didn't take advantage on it as it was on the cooler side
I really really love this property. Everything feels like amazing. Such a calm and safe and gated property also room was so good with proper detailing and also very much important thing is sunset. Such a outstanding location to seat relax and watch a beautiful sunset. This property feels like you are living in your own space. Staff is so good and very helpful. They really good recommendations for food, activities n all.

Island Bay Resort was even better than we had anticatiped. The resort is beautifully maintained. Our cottage was uniquely decorated, very clean and very comfortable.
We loved the intimacy and peacefulness of this small resort. Because there are only 10 cottages, and no additional guests are allowed, it is never crowded or noisy. Just what we were looking for!
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We spoke with Daniel, the owner a couple of times and could tell he and the staff work hard to maintain the beauty of the resort.
We loved being able to use the kayaks and paddleboards without having to rent them. The beach view is lovely and the water is crystal clear.
We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay!
