Overall good experience, but I wouldn’t call this newly remodeled; it’s been touched up and has some newer furnishings in it. They still need to add some things for these to really be considered a townhome with a full kitchen. There were minimal dishes for cooking, and the cutlery is pretty bad. They also need to provide a broom and dustpan for cleanup between house service.

Recently refurbished so a couple of teething problems with the water and lighting. Lovely to be on the sunset side of Islamorada and great for families.

Once you arrive you have to go to the resort to check in, that is not said, then check out too and even worse still pay them a management fee. Everything closes at 10:00 pm to be a tourist I don't understand it, there are some bugs that when it gets dark you can't be out of the pool water or surroundings.

Nice property the boat slips were quite small and if they would have been mostly full it would have been verry hard to turn boat in the marina unless your boat was un 20 feet. There wasn't much to work with in the kitchen either pots were very limited and no pans were in our unit. The grounds and rooms were nice but could use some work in the bathrooms.
5.0
The view was phenomenal! The pool area sat right on the bay for gorgeous sunsets.
Our unit needed serious upgrade to kitchen appliances. At least 2 pieces didn’t work properly.

Great location, in the heart of Islamorada close to dining, some within close walking distance. The unit was a little outdated, but clean and adequate for our needs. The only negative was the moldy smell in the unit which was overpowering.

Would have liked a better view from the rooms.

the location and units great, access to the amenities at there other location, the islander, was a plus
kitchen could have used more, better items for cooking etc... and grill not working, no propane, promised it would be filled and didn't happen, important because many guest fish like we do and would like to cook there catch on the grill

Great friendly service. Clean units. Beautiful property. AC and humidity inside the unit is a problem. Had to keep AC very cold to hide moldy smell. Not very eco friendly as AC seemed to run 24/7. Also some carpenter ants found inside.

Second time we stayed here. First times at the Villas. Two bedroom townhouse style with full kitchen and washer n dryer was great for a family of five. Great staff. Easy check in. Spent most of our pool time at the Islander. Everyone loved it.
Our biggest issue was the key situation. Several times throughout the week all of keys would stop working. The Villas uses a different key system than the Islander. And there’s only someone in the Villas office during check in. We were part of a group of 18. And this caused a lot of issues. We had to wait up to and over an hour sometimes for someone to come over to make new keys.
We heard their reason for keys not working so many times we could recite it ourselves.
One of the villas had a 3 and 5 yr old that got locked in. Took an hour to get someone there. Almost called the fire department.
They need to update their key system. Or keep someone at the desk at all times at the Villas.
Everything else was great. We also used Clearly Unique for snorkeling and a Sandbar excursion. They run out of the Islander which was super convenient.
The fun crew were also great. Ricardo was great! My kids had a great time hanging and playing soccer, basketball, ping pong and a bunch of other activities.

Good location. Unit was a bit dated - bathroom looked so-so and the whole unit could use a fresh coat of paint. Kitchen could get a few more things in order for the guests to actually cook something for dinner. The beds are comfortable. Staff was great.

Our condo was spacious and perfect for our family of 5. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nice and clean. We did not do any cooking in the kitchen, but enjoyed takeout on the dining table. Our condo had a bay view, and the sunset was AMAZING! We spent time at the oceanside resort which is a great benefit to staying at the bayside villas. Andrew in the front office was SUPER helpful with our condo and recommended a great place for breakfast. We appreciated the close parking spot to our condo, and quiet of the property. The villas are conveniently located to lots of restaurant options, shopping, and marina activities. We would definitely stay there again!

Great for our family gathering with 3 rooms close together
1.0
The rooms are worn down with bugs. The pool was filthy the entire time we were there. 5 nights, you would think they would clean it once in that time. Service and food at the resort was awful and overpriced. Billing practices on checkout are dishonest and not upfront.
5.0
We loved staying here. The villas offered more space and a kitchen versus staying at the resort. We utilized the shuttle service to take us to the resort which opened from 12pm to 10pm. Plenty of towels availability and supplies if needed. Amenities at resort were fantastic. Yoga, paddle board, kayak, tours etc. So many excellent restaurants to choose from within a mile. Check out Lazy days and Lorelies for sunset. We had room 112 which was partial bay view.... beautiful. The beach was not traditional but we loved it.
