Eco-Friendly Private Island in the Florida Keys
Eco-Friendly Private Island Getaway in the Florida Keys
At Seabird Key, modern luxury meets complete energy independence. The Island runs entirely on a state-of-the-art solar powered system designed to provide electricity for all the comforts of home, without reliance on the mainland. A large solar array harvests the abundant Florida sunshine, storing clean energy in high-capacity batteries that keep the Island running day and night.
Guests enjoy all the amenities they expect; air conditioning, Wi Fi, streaming televisions, refrigerators, small freezers, and dependable hot water. All powered by solar energy. Because these systems are efficient and carefully engineered, daily living feels no different than staying in a beautifully equipped coastal home.

Harvest and Reuse Natural Rainwater
Everything about Seabird Key reflects the owner’s commitment to self-sufficiency and respect for the environment. The water system begins with seawater drawn directly from the ocean, which is purified through a high efficiency reverse osmosis (RO) desalination process. This system removes salt and other impurities, leaving clean, fresh water that’s stored in an 18,000 gallon above ground cistern, a structure inspired by traditional Caribbean stonework and built as both a functional and architectural centerpiece of the island. Perched above the cistern is a charming cottage designed by the island’s owners, offering ocean views and a nod to old world island craftsmanship. While this space is unoccupied when guests visit, the entire island, including its secluded beach, gardens, and paths, belongs exclusively to the clients during their stay.
On Seabird, nothing goes to waste. Shower and sink water are reused through an irrigation system that waters thirsty tropical plants. Even the seaweed that gathers creating a nuisance on the shoreline is collected and composted in a separate area. Over time, rain and sun transform it into rich soil that helps sustain the Island’s thriving vegetation.
Experience the Wildlife of the Florida Keys
We kindly ask guests to be mindful of their electricity and water use., not because power is scarce, but because conscious living helps preserve Seabird Key’s spectacular natural balance. Our solar and water systems are built to handle normal household usage, ensuring comfort as well as sustainability.
