Spotless Clean Room! No hassles whatsover, peaceful, and quiet. The two person kayak was awesome, and the private beach had great snorkeling. We just loved it here. My only complaint was that I could only book it for two nights, as they were booked solid the entire month of May. More

We booked one night on the way to Key West in cottage 1 (waterfront). As soon as we pulled in just before sunset, we wished we were staying longer. The grounds are beautiful, and the cottage interior was charming. We enjoyed the big waterfront chaise lounges as the sun set and a the dark settled I'm with warm breezes and... More

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Island Bay Resort, and we loved every minute of it. The decor, landscaping and rooms were adorable. The entire atmosphere was tranquil, calm, relaxing, and welcoming. We loved all the chairs, hammocks, and tiki huts on the property. The entire place, including the rooms are well furnished, clean, and extremely well... More

We got an "efficiency" room, so there are bigger units here if you want something more roomy. The grounds are maticulously kept, with lots of beautiful palm trees, flowers, and... More

Lovely tropical getaway for 3 too-short nights over spring break! My almost teenaged daughter and I enjoyed the unique setting with friendly hosts, including the 3 resident cats. Clean, comfortable, nicely outfitted, and a beautiful setting. Worth the top rating for the Keys for a small, quiet, and charming stay. More
