I wanted to get away from the hustle & bustle of corporate life and found the solace of The Florida Keys in the service of Mike & Carol Shipley at Isand Bay Resort. Their hospitality and the quintessential Keys experience were exactly what I needed. The quiet, exclusive room and private beach were exactly how I pictured my vacation. Thanks! more

Stayed for 10 nights and could have stayed for longer. It is not often that one is surprised to find that a resort is better than described on the internet. We found a resort to chill out and be totally relaxed. The view from the private beach is perfection. The cottages are a delight with all the facilties that one... more

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. My wife and I spent 5 nights there and I could have used 50 nights... Perfectly situated in the Keys, impecably maintained including the spotless rooms and the grounds/landscape. I am a scuba diver and Mike and Carol, the owners, are also divers so they make it a convenient spot with outside lockers... more

This was our second time at Island bay resort and won't be our last. It was a perfect place to wind down our honeymoon. Absolutely beautiful location. Mike and Carol treat you like family. Stunning sunsets right from the beach. It's all the little details that makes this place remarkable. Can't wait to go back... more

Diamond in the rough so to speak. I found this resort with comments from Trip Advisor. It was the perfect 5 day getaway. Owners were very accomodating and everything was perfect. I read good reviews and we were not disappointed. If you are looking for a quiet, fun & relaxing place Island Bay Resort is a great, you won't be... more

This is one of these places where you look at the pictures online and think "this looks really neat on the pictures" ... but then you get there and it is even better! The owners (Mike & Carol) are very nice and helpful and have put a lot of thought and attention to detail into the individually themed cottages/rooms. more

This place is unlike any other that I have experienced in the Keys. The rooms are ideal, pristine and extremely comfortable for any occasion. The landscaping is immaculate, giving the atmosphere an isolated-island feeling that lends itself to a quite romantic and peaceful setting. The owners are the friendliest and most accommodating hosts I have ever experienced in the States.... more

9 letting bungalows just off the road through the keys ... slightly compromised by road noise (as I guess most places would be in the keys). Rooms are spotlessly clean and have everything you might expect. The hosts Mike and Carol are only too happy to help but also happy to leave you be to enjoy your stay. This is... more

I booked this place because it was highly rated on tripadvisor, but I didn't really know what to expect.. Well, I am here to tell you that it is everything the reviews say it is.. The room are very clean and Carol and Mike have spent a lot of time making this place feel just like home.. Maybe it's the... more

Beautiful resort; the owners live on-site and you can see their attention to detail; comfortable accomodations; free-use of kayak's and snorkel equipment; would recommend Chad's Restaurant w/in walking distance; daily fresh baked bread and unbelievable salads for a ridiculously low price! more
