Private Island, FL Keys Entire Island, Home, A/C, Boat, Dock, Beach, Bikes, WiFi

Our host Adam and Carly are the BEST, so welcoming, warm, and calm. Our 50 year college friendship couples all had the same opinion that we would love to take them home with us. I am an ocean lover but I think the beautiful foliage planted on this Island by the longtime owners topped the water. It truly is a paradise with easy trails throughout the Island.And when the description says it is equipped the really mean it, just bring your suitcase with a few clothes. We loved our cocktails and dinners in the outdoor kitchen.Would rate this vacation Aplus.Thank you to Deborah and Jim for their blend of careful planning of its improvements while keeping the feel of island life.Thank you Adam for being so kind in your boat rescue.Jenifer from Ky

Extraordinary. We didn't even know that it was possible to rent an island and have it all to ourselves. Seabird Key is private and beautiful. From watching the sunrise on the dock w/ coffee to sunset from the widow's walk and everything in between, it was a wonderful experience. There are so many things you can do (kayak, fish, snorkel, exploring, etc.) or do nothing at all (soaking up the sun-my personal favorite) they've thought of everything at Seabird Key. That's the great thing about it; you're on your own schedule. The bonus is that it's not all peopley, like a lot of destinations. We can't say enough about how awesome Adam and Carly were with all our requests and questions and our private chef, Cindy (Impeccably Gourmet) took the island experience to a whole new level. Even though going in we felt it was a once in a lifetime vacation, by the last day we were trying to find a way to return as soon as possible.

Loved the kitchen, but mostly used the outdoor kitchen with music and strawberry daiquiris while cooking. My 18 lb full grown aussalier (king charles cavalier mixed with mini australian puppy learned to swim and had a blast with toys at the beach also. My mom was amazing and had the time of her life even though she is about half way through Alzheimer's. She hasnt stopped talking about going back next year and would rather be at sea bird key that anywhere in Europe or over seas is what she told my dad and I both. As always it was an amazing experience and hopefully we can visit again soon. Your team has done a wonderful job and the air conditioning was a great addition. Thank you fro the bottom of our hearts for this vacation and hope to see you again

This a is lovely property, just as advertised. Adam was very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the island and using the boat to explore the area. We will be back!

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and included our three daughters, their husbands, two young children and one on the way!It was an amazing, magical time. We very much enjoyed being outdoors and using the incredible kitchen. The sunrises on the dock and the swimming on the beach were a family favorite.Spending time together in a quiet, secluded place that made you feel you were in a tropical paradise. We look forward to coming back again to celebrate our growing family. Thank you for everything. The property is beyond words.

Everything far exceeded our expectations! I will definitely be back!

Everything was outstanding. From the full kitchen utensils to the fishing gear, our island resort had everything. Great place to relax and unwind away from it all with all of the comforts of home. We found every chaise lounge and hammock on the island and put them to good use. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Absolutely amazing private island experience for our family spring break trip. The host has thought of everything and have the island property outfitted with everything you need to keep everyone happy!thought of everythin the outfitted the property w

Brautiful island with boat to visit the Keys. Friendly manager who auicly answered any questions.

This is our favorite place to stay. We have been here 3 times and it never disappoints.

We absolutely had an amazing vacation. Loved the peacefulness and solitude. The property is beautiful and everything you could want. Our property manager Shad was very helpful and responsive. Thanks for everthing.

Had an extremely memorable stay on SeaBird Key for Christmas. One 5 year old was with us and he christened it Christmas Island. Hard to describe what having you own private island is like, but it created memories for all that will never be forgotten. Any issues we had were immediately addressed, but they were precious few. Would definitely go there again. Thank you.

We had a family vacation for the new year and decided to spend it on Seabird Key. What an amazing island. You feel like you have stepped into paradise from the moment you get to the dock. The landscaping is spectacular. The house is as described in the listing and makes for a wonderful stay. You have all that you need for a stay in the keys. Everything is well thought out and organized. There are some pros and cons to island life that should be considered. The pros; privacy, you have a 10acre island to yourself with its own private beach. The waters around the island are full of adventure and places to explore the cons; you are on an island and everything starts with a boat ride. Even if the wind is blowing and the rain is raining. This should be a consideration. Especially when thinking about moving luggage back and forth from the land dock to the island. We had 8 people and the boat is built for 8 people. It was a few trips out and back. The water surrounding the island is pretty shallow. This was particularly noticeable at the beach. The beach is stunning but not what I would call a swimming beach. It has inches of water until you get pretty far out. High tide helps but low tide pulls the water from the shore quite a ways. Additionally, we had excessive amounts of sea grass on the beach. The water depth at the dock is much better for swimming but still only about 3 feet deep. Just things to consider as you make your decision on island life.

What a memorable vacation!! We had a wonderful 7 night stay at Seabird Key with our group of 10. We rented a big fishing boat and was able to dock it on the island. So convenient, totally private and magical! Lots of fishing off the boat and off the 2 main docks! The kids LOVED the towable tubes and the kayaks. The island has several life vests and lots of snorkel gear as well. The house/cabin was the perfect island-feel cozy stay for our 2 families. Kids enjoyed the loft with the bunks and the outdoor showers were a hit. Thank you to the management and maintenance staff who provided such wonderful hospitality and great customer service. Carly and Shad were so friendly and helpful and made us all feel very at home. This family trip was one of the best we've ever taken and will live in our memories forever! Hope to be back someday.

We have stayed in vacation rental homes at various places in the US, but this place is certainly unique! You can rent homes with a beach out your back door, but it is not private. Here you have the whole 10-acre island with a private beach plus speakers so you can listen to your music! The beach has shade and sun. We were a party of 5 family members; all truly enjoyed the island and all that it had to offer. The trails are wonderful. Took the Kayaks for a tour around the island. The observation deck is great both during the day and at night. Saw numerous hermit crabs. One day some were climbing trees. Someone did a Google search and learned that hermit crabs will climb trees when they sense rain is likely! Sure enough, it started to rain a few minutes later. The enclosed outdoor shower was another unique experience. We saw a manatee twice during our stay, so drive the boat slowly and be observant when entering the Marathon docking area. The owner told us they had added air conditioning about 2 years ago, we were certainly comfortable all day. The solar panels provided adequate power (always had significant reserve). Ran out of Propane while using the outdoor kitchen grill but swapped a canister for the house kitchen and continued cooking. We informed the island manager; we brought the empty canister to the mainland docks the next morning and a new full canister was waiting for use at the docks. Everyone agreed this was a great vacation experience!

AMAZING! The best vacation ever. The property was more than we could've ever imagined We did not want to leave. Everything was provided for us and if not the Concierge that runs the property was always right on top of everything. We will definitely keep this one in the list of returns!
