If you're boating, this is the best deal in the Keys. Just walk out the door and board your boat.

For the boater the location and view don’t get any better. This family owned property is
perfectly situated on a marina with spectacular views. We couldn’t wait to wake in the morning to pull the blinds to view the water.
The property is comfortable and quiet with great customer service. We will definitely we booking again soon.

Kind of torn to write this review, we loved this place so much that we want to keep it a secret for ourselves. But the owners are amazing and so welcoming, that I have to say that we want everyone to experience paradise. The sunsets are out of this world, the accommodations and grounds are spectacular. We brought our boat, but they also have ones to rent and either fish, or just gawk at the colors of the water. We came for our Anniversary and my Birthday and it was so hard to leave and go back to reality. Thank you Lynn and family. Billy was so helpful with our boat and where to eat. Thank you to everyone, and y’all come down and see them.

Great private get away. Safe, cozy marina. QUIET @ night. No private fishing from dock. Allows guests to view beautiful fish. We stayed Upstairs great views of Gulf. Pet friendly. Took our boat. Boat trailor stored in gated area. BONUS!!!! So nice to walk downstairs and get on our boat! Went tubing. Sight seeing. 75 miles from Key west. DeepSea fishing. Snokeled too. Master bedroom bed very comfy. Twin beds room #2 . 1 was very springy. Not comfy. Family business Marina. Very knowledgeable staff. They guided us to everthing we wanted to do. FABULOUS!!!! Even made suggestions for must see.
Thank you Lynn, & Son, Sylvia, Chris & Billy. You are all Awesome.
Great experience. Already rebooked for next year!

We were lucky to find Lynn and this cute two bedroom rental at Seabird Marina. The unit has everything you need for a fun stay in the Middle Keys. It is a great location just a bit South of Islamorada. The space has a nice layout and is clean and well-appointed. There is a nice deck with a grill on the East side facing the road, and a small landing overlooking the marina and the bay to the West. We rented a small boat from the marina which was great and highly recommended - having a boat makes the Keys a magical experience. The unit is on the second floor. It sits above the marina store which offers bait, tackle, beer and ice. It also has loads of information from this charming family who has been running this business for over twenty years. We found Lynn, her mother and her son (who all work there together) delightful and really enjoyed talking with them. Keep in mind that this is a working marina - there will be activity, people and the usual marina noise during daylight hours. (At night it’s quiet.) We enjoyed the activity and watching the boats and people come and go. We were there with two 13 year old boys which was great. Young children would need to be tended to closely given the marina activity and waterfront location. If you want a clean space in a great location with immediate access to the water AND run by a wonderful local family who lives on site, this is the place. (Just please don’t book the days we want to be there.)

My husband and I spent 2 nights here to be near friends who were staying nearby at the Fiesta Key RV Resort. This location worked well for us. We really only slept at the VRBO because we were out enjoying the Keys all day long! The upstairs unit is clean and was adequate for our needs.

This might be the cleanest apartment that I’ve rented. The kitchen is nicely furnished and the furniture and bedding is cozy. It’s a little noisy, but it’s a working marina! Good weekend.

We stayed here 4 nights end of May. The owners were friendly and helpful with a bait shop on site. This is a perfect place for a guy's or family fishing trip. The on-site boat ramp easily fits our 32' boat. We will stay here again in the future.

Between Islamorada and Marathon, you’re in the middle of everything. Property manager was attentive and quick to help out with any requests. Knowledgeable advice on where to fish, eat, and get the perfect Pina Colada.

This was a fantastic place to stay. We were able to store our trailer and leave our boat in the water all week long. The family who owns this place is friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place and we will stay here again in the future.

was completely impressed with the small operation and the family that owned it. these people are very concerned with the well being of their guest, guest property, wild life on property (fish) and their business. i would completely recommend this property to anyone wanting a fishing getaway. if you're expecting a 5 star hotel resort feel this isn't for you, if you're expecting well maintained cabin in the mountains feel in the Keys this is it. there is not enough positives i can say. keep in mind its a small family business with a neighborhood full of customers, you will not be catered to but you will be taken care of. Sea Bird Marina is pretty cool spot.

Everything was great. This is a perfect location to boat from. Easy ride to Robbie’s, Alligator Reef, sandbars, etc. The property is clean, beds are comfortable, AC is cold, kitchen nicely equipped. TVs throughout. Lynn was very helpful and knowledgeable and directed us to the best spots for fishing and snorkeling. Our boat broke down and Lynn had a mechanic on tap that got us fixed and able to make it back home! We will definitely be back.
