Awesome vacation spot

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.

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

Family Celebration!!

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.

Todd!! Thanks for your review. We are so happy to hear that your week on Seabird was tons of fun. Happy 40th wedding anniversary! I hope you received the mangoes I left for you from Seabird's special tree and most of all, I hope that you enjoyed them. It was wonderful having your family visit the Island and we do hope you will return as those toddlers grow. We put an enormous amount of work into keeping Seabird Key warm & inviting while keeping the gardens blooming and flourishing. Glad to know you enjoyed the beach with the kids. It's perfect for the little ones. Thank you for your business and for purchasing Seabird tee shirts. Hope to see your family again one day!
