    My only complaint was the lack of counter space in the bathroom, it would be very convenient to have more space to put toiletries! But the bathroom was very clean and tidy. There were quite a few no-see-em bugs all around, which of course is no fault of the property. They did provide bug spray and citronella candles on the patio tabletops which was nice. But just a reminder to bring some bug repellent if you are prone to getting bit :)

    We stayed for two nights, it was such a nice time! Such a beautiful and well-maintained property, it was a quaint and private tropical getaway. Our cottage was very clean and cozy, the air conditioning worked well. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at the table and chairs outside our cottage, and used the grill in the front one night for dinner. The beach area is so nice, and there is plenty of seating for an unobstructed view of the sunset! We really enjoyed taking the paddleboards out on the water, it was very convenient having the ability to use them and the kayaks at any time. Overall we loved our stay here and would come back again! Great location, lots of good restaurants just a short drive away. They provided us a list of restaurant recommendations upon check in which was appreciated. The Square Grouper was great and the pizza from the Italian Food Company was some of the best I've had!

    Had a wonderful time at Island Bay Resort. The property is lush and meticulously kept. There were so many nice and special touches. The paddle boards, paddle boat and kayaks were in great condition. Hosts, Sue and Steve, were incredibly welcoming and wonderful. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

    Everything was perfect!

    Perfect location, within walking distance or short drive to many restaurants, bars and activities. The resort is small and absolutely beautiful. The beach has something for everyone. Kayaks, paddleboard, peddle boat and snorkel equipment available and free to use. Lots of seating. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkeling. Each cottage has a grill out front and they even supply the charcoal. The deck outside each room with a table and chairs is perfect for enjoying breakfast. This resort has so many things included and the staff is exceptional. The sunsets are absolutely stunning and this resort gives a front fow seat. 100% recommend!

    Nothing, everything exceeded our expectations.

    The location is perfect, everything on the property is so well maintained. The staff and owners are very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are very clean, you can tell the attention to detail that they've put into everything between the rooms and even the beach.

    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of a road trip and it was exactly what was needed. We stayed in cottage number 1 which was beautiful. It had lovely views and great facilities. Everywhere was spotless and the staff were very friendly. A special mention for Pat who welcomed us to the property who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The owner helped us out with printing our boarding passes as we were having trouble downloading them which was very kind too. If we were ever in the Keys again we would definitely stay over.
