Amazing stay on a private, quiet, beach
Pros:

while starting the new year in Key Largo and were very happy with the experience. The whole property is well configured, clean, and functional. Everything seemed very new and well maintained. The check in process was very easy and smooth, and we appreciated how well equipped both the cottage was, as well as the private beach area. Being able to bring our own food and cook or do a grill out was simply perfect, and we really enjoyed the opportunity for kayaking. If I had only one minor criticism, it was that the housekeeping service seemed to be performed very late in the day (~4pm on one day) - which also seemed odd given there are not many cottages and the daily service is fairly minimal. Still, this wasn't enough to give less than 5 stars for a great experience! Highly recommend.

As perfect as a small resort gets
Pros:

The island Bay resort in Key Largo is the perfect small getaway that you’ve always looked for and could never find. Cozy bungalows, private beach, and private access make this the perfect spot to forget what got you there to begin with.
Planning on going again as soon as possible.

A relaxing stay in this beautiful resort.
Pros:

Everything was perfect! The common areas are lush and gorgeous- very well kept. There are quite a few places to sun, play games, or chill under a tiki hut. The room was adorable and had everything we needed. It was an easy drive to some good restaurants and attractions.

Cons:

Fantastic hotel that is very well kept.
Pros:

Fantastic location right on the water with a beach and jetty. Everything here was clean and very well kept. The beach chairs, kayaks, paddle boards, covered areas , and corn hole were all in very good condition. The room was well laid out and quite spacious. We did choose one of the larger rooms though. We would very much come back and stay if we are ever in the keys again. The management and staff are friendly and very approachable. They will happily recommend restaurants for what you are considering for dinner.
This really is a great little hotel that is very well kept.

A slice of paradise
Pros:

We absolutely loved this spot. It is not for everyone. If you want a party spot, this ain’t it. It is paradise. Quiet, clean. And the personnel is super attentive (thank you Pat). If you want a quiet getaway you will not be disappointed.

Lovely resort, lovely cottages & lovely staff!!
Pros:

This property is exceptional!!! It’s a small Resort of 10 units situated in a bay with a beach and dock. Long boards and canoes available for use free of charge. Comfortable sunbeds with umbrellas to sunbathe and other seated areas - just to chill!! Rooms are compact but so well equipped with everything you need and spotlessly clean! Cooking facilities, coffee machine & coffee supplies, beautiful toiletries, towels replaced daily, beach towels - all in your cottage and if you need more you only have to ask!!! Staff are just lovely and want to make your stay as wonderful as possible - so friendly! This resort has been well thought out, it’s a beautiful location, quiet & peaceful - a little slice of paradise! We had a fabulous stay here and will come back again!! Thank you to Island Bay Team for making our stay so special!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing!!!
