I write this as I sit in our beautiful little cottage. I must say I was very hesitant about staying here, as I read there was no beach. But turns out, that’s NOT an issue. If you want to stay in a place that’s quaint, quiet, beautiful, clean, and with great service, this is the place for you. So far I’m loving it, and we can’t wait to plan our next trip here.

Atlantic Bay was a gorgeous place to have our wedding. The sunsets were fantastic and the views were unparalleled. It was a challenge getting things set though, as the staff member that had been working with us quit just before our wedding. Stephanie and Kay really stepped up and made sure nothing fell off anyone’s radar. Also the rooms were recently renovated and they looked amazing for our guests… So modern and a relief compared to some resorts! ABR has the goods on the outside and the inside. The weather forced us to move our reception indoors(fact: room 19 can fit about 50 people, flowers, a DJ, and two cakes in a pinch!) and due to the absolute chaos and weather destruction, there was a mess afterwards. The housekeeping crew were champs and did a fantastic job. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it for weddings.

When our septic tank crapped out — they were amazing to us. Professional, friendly, and very very clean. One of the best places to stay in the area. Just like staying at home. Near lots of things to do from Islamorada party nights to Key Largo diving. Truly nestled in one of the best areas to accommodate anyone. Lovely people. Lovely place. And you simply cannot beat the sunsets. So grab a drink, kick your shoes off and pull up a chair with the one you love on the beach and relax!

Ultimately, would I call it a ‘resort’? Probably not. But we still had a good stay. We arrived late at night, but check in went relatively smoothly as our keys were left in the office mailbox(the office is not staffed 24⁄7). Finding our cabin was the most difficult part of arriving after dark as the number had fallen off the porch. Those could stand to bra bit more clearly(re) marked. Note that all the cabin units don’t really have bay-views… Some do, but #4−6 at least definitely face the parking lot. So sitting on the porches was nice, but with limited«good» views, and more looking at parked vehicles than anything else. In terms of amenities, the cabins include a refrigerator, electric hot plate, microwave and coffee pot(standard hotel style coffee). TV channels were a bit lacking, but maybe this is par for the course in the Keys. Watching the sunset was a common activity among the guests during our stay. FYI, it doesn’t go «into the water» at this time of year, but we had a decent view nonetheless after walking down to the beach area. Speaking of which, when it comes to swimming, the bay isn’t really a viable option unless you don’t mind wearing water shoes to avoid the coral and plants and whatever else lurks beneath. The pool was nice though, and we spent some time there. Grounds are well-maintained daily. Staff arrives at around 9−10am with leaf-blowers, lawn-mowers and the like(in case you are a late sleeper, be aware). Daily room service will replace towels and toiletries. Within walking distance, there isn’t a ton. But I think this is expected for the Keys. The soda machine wasn’t working during our stay, and there is no ice machine on the premises, so come prepared. The cabin we stayed in was recently remodeled, but we had to ask for a bedside lamp as there were none at first. There also wasn’t really any storage space to unpack clothes. And if you’re planning on using the pull-out couch, forget about keeping it out and continuing to use the kitchen or dining area. Space is a bit of a premium here. Overall, we had a nice stay, but given time in the area again I’d probably look for other options.

Excellent and quiet little place with its own small beach and views of the sunset. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.

Good room for the price. The location is not good though. It’s about 10 miles from good places to eat or get a drink. There’s a private beach area though that was really nice for watching the sunset. I definitely recommend going to Marker 88 for dinner while you’re there.

not at all well kept or maintained. Our porch was falling down… literally the cross beams were rotten and there was a big hole in the roof. The cottages are very dated with décor and finishes from the 60’s and 70’s. The doors to the rooms and bathrooms would not close. There was mold or mildew in the bathroom. Cat or dog poop can be found throughout the«resort». I would not stay here again.

This is our little, quiet, out of the way slice of paradise. The cabins are adorable — clean, spacious, including a kitchenette with a full size fridge, microwave, sink, stove burners, and in some of them, an oven. There is dock space so you can bring you boat, tikki huts on the beach to enjoy the view, wild peacocks to keep you company, and tikki covered porches to sit and relax the day away. We came here for a good friends’ wedding, and it has become a yearly trip for a bunch of us to all come here together as a way to get away, hang out, and decompress. I love little out of the way finds like this. The only drawbacks are that it isn’t exactly the lowest cost place(but that is what you pay for staying at a small, private, secluded place) and that there is no ice machine on premises — but there is an ice-trailer within walking distance(right a the turn in road), so it is easy to get ice if you need it.

Lovely, low-key place for a vacation. Rooms could use some cosmetic TLC but they are quiet, comfortable and reasonably priced. Great location with easy access to everything the Keys have to offer, plus a heated pool, boat launch and fishing pier. The staff was amazingly friendly, pleasant and accommodating. We hope to return soon.
