This is a beatiful, small, family-owned property. There is no pool, but that is literally the only thing missing. My room was decorated more like if I were staying at a friend's house - nature pictures, a small reading library, flat screen TV, trinkets, etc. I had a kitchenette that was only missing an oven (which I certainly didn't need)....

Easy to get to in the Upper Keys, clean, with attentive owners who are on site. Mike and Carol have created a mini-paradise with their plantings and cottages. We stayed five nights in cottage 9. The hotel is located on the bayside...meaning that it has a special beach...there is some sand, but a lot of sea grass, which means manatee... More

We loved staying here - for three nights. We were two couples - each had a cabin (Bahia Honda and Sunset) one larger(Sunset) than the other. Carol and Mike take a lot of trouble to make this small spot perfect for their guests. We weren't surprised when it got so much attention (it happened while we were staying there!) Highly... More

This resort is well kept and beyond adorable. Each unit has a unique theme, with decorations to match. Carol was very friendly and helpful and the resort's cat population was lovely as well! More

We stayed in Bahia Honda and it was great. The 'cabin' is nicely decorated with an eye for details, but also with an eye for practicalities. The resort itself is beautiful and beautifully maintained. We are not the persons that will go to a place twice, but here we'll be back! And congratulations for Mike and Carol with the TA... More

which was like sleeping on a huge bag of marshmellos, this was truly a beautiful place to stay. We were in Sunset {#6}- Not sure if all the cottages have really soft mattresses, it's certainly worth an inquiry prior booking if you prefer a firm mattress since each cottage reportedly has its own personality. We particularly enjoyed the tasteful way... More

Our 4 night stay wasn't nearly long enough. The cottage was perfect for relaxing and serving as a base for touring the upper Keys. Mike and Carol provided all we needed and were so helpful with suggestions. Some nights we were able to cook in and others we went out based on their suggestions. The private beach was ideal for...

I booked this room on New Years Eve after finding out my office was closed that Monday. Our goal was to get something cute, clean, and most importantly... available. Via Trip Advisor, I found this little spot with cottage style rooms and a private beach. My thought after seeing the photos was that it would be comfortable enough for a... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Island Bay Resort twice during our 2-week vacation to the FL Keys. Initially, we had planned on simply flying into Miami picking up our rental car, loading it with our bags and dive gear and heading into the FL Keys with no plan whatsoever other than to dive our...
