Exceptional
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The property was beautiful and excellently maintained. Staff was dedicated, friendly, and helpful. Only negative was a slight unusual odor in our unit. While compact, the unit managed to have what was needed for a comfortable stay. A comfortable reading chair would be a nice addition.
this is probably the best maintained beautiful little resort cabana style inn.
the property is well situated with a several different areas to hang out and swim or sun.
parking is limited to guest so having friends over that are not booked in is not going to work well nor does the management really like it.
but very lovely and a great place to hang out.
An absolue idyllic setting right on the shore . So peaceful and the property is immaculately kept .Sue and Steve ,who manage the resort are so welcoming and helpful with suggestions for restaurants ,supermarkets ,places to visit etc. We will return.

Managers Steve and Sue were terrific. Property is adorable and very clean. Amenities were great to use, gulf beach side were very relaxing. Thanks for everything.
This resort is great! Small run resort with great views. Small cottages that have a patio and a grill to use if you wanted to! The propert is beautiful and very clean! Kayaks and snorkel gear available to use when you want. I will def go back in the future
Outstanding property! Staff extremely attentive and professional. Grounds are meticulously kept, calm, beautiful without the crowds and busyness. Well appointed room that is comfortable with the smallest touches that made the stay unique. Will definitely be back- no reason to stay anywhere else!
My wife and I just spent our anniversary here and highly recommended the Island Bay Resort! Sue was such an awesome and thoughtful host and helped make our stay here wonderful! Pictures and words cannot do this place justice and accurately describe what a gorgeous and peaceful property this is! You will just have to go and see for yourself!!
Beautiful property, abiance is great! The paddle boards were so much fun! Property managers very friendly. We enjoyed our stay in Sunsets cottage very much.
This place was exactly what I was looking for. Quiet and peaceful. The beach was kept very clean and the paddle boards and Kayaks were there for our use at no extra charge. The sunsets at night were spectacular. As soon as you walk out of your little cottage, you’re greeted by water. Steve and Sue couldn’t have been better hosts. They were very helpful in answering any questions I had. If you’re looking for peace of mind and tranquility, this is the place for you. I will definitely be staying here again.
Quiet and tidy boutique property. Great little beach on property, across A1A is a convenience/gas store. Walking distance is a retail center with WinnDixie. Rooms are essentially individual cottage with kitchenette, walk in shower, TV and little front porch. Dock space for a boat, all water amenities and protected lagoon for floating. Tavernier is very quiet and an easy drive south to Islamorada and all the shoppping and dining. Friendly staff and good place to stay for extended time as well
What a wonderful, little tucked away gem!! We had such a great time here, the property is spotless and beautiful, the rooms were perfect in size and beautifully decorated, and the couple who run the property make you feel so welcome and like your family. We rarely left the property, it was so relaxing to sit on the beach, or take the kayaks or paddle boards out into the water, we even saw, sharks and manatees and got to swim with them right at the resort. We will definitely go back!
Tranquility. Amazing location. The beach is fantastic. We don’t like staying the same place twice but we will definitely stay here again if we travel to the keys
The managers Lisa and Steve were wonderful, very helpful and caring. We will be staying there again.
