Wrap around windows! Yellowbird is a casual Key West style two story, two bedroom (+ bunk area), two-bath cottage with wrap around windows and a fabulous deck overlooking Florida Bay. This is not your typical Keys rental house. It's got so much more to offer. The location is situated on a four-acre nature preserve with a very tranquil, beautifully landscaped back yard. From the house, enjoy a long winding elevated walkway through the mangroves that opens to a private dock on the bay. Our guests are amazed by the elevated walkway because you are literally emersed in the mangroves and can see the amazing creation of new fish life in the water below. As you get to the end of the path, you are now beyond the mangroves, where you'll find Yellowbird's ample dock. This area offers a new prospective of the beauty of Florida Bay. The passage to the open water is less than 2’ at low tide and is best suitable for shallow-draft boats. But larger boats have navigated the shallow channel if you're lucky enough to have a competent captain who understands the shifting & rhythm of the tides. The upstairs deck is everyone's favorite "hang-out." It's the perfect spot to enjoy your morning cup of coffee but is especially where you will get a front row seat to see what the Florida Keys sunsets are all about. The house sits up on stilts like most homes in the Keys which is why you can easily capture those outrageously beautiful views. The second floor where the bedrooms are located, is really high up there and is actually the third floor of the house if you consider the stilts factor. Parking underneath the house is very convenient and the other side of this area is another great spot for gathering. The upper-level bedrooms are comfortable, charming and have beautiful views. One bedroom has twin beds, the other has a Queen bed. Each of the bedrooms has a sink and mirror in the bedroom, but a fabulous outdoor shower is shared between the two bedrooms and is located on the deck. As you shower, you can watch the breathtaking sunset over the bay. Downstairs, the sleeping arrangement is a little unconventional. It consists of a bunk bed connected to the downstairs bath with shower. This area is very small and is typically designated only for children. We refer to this area as the crew's quarters. If you've ever watched the popular reality show "Below Deck," you get the idea. Kids find it cozy and have fun with the idea of climbing up to the top bunk with the assistance of a big rope and one step. The kitchen has a galley style layout and is fully equipped for gourmet cooking. New appliances add to the efficiency of the kitchen space. Everything you'll need for cooking & most anything can be found in this kitchen. Besides an electric range, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, there is a microwave, toaster oven, and drip-style coffee pot. The open floor plan lets the chef, or person on kitchen duty, fully participate with everyone else while preparing the next tasty dinner. High-speed Wi-Fi and Direct TV are provided in the cozy (small) family room. It’s a true cottage, but everything you will need is there. The gardens are beautifully landscaped, and you can appreciate the nice view from the covered decks on all levels. There is no pool, but beautiful beaches are nearby by car. Bikes are available for a fun ride along the old, historic seven-mile bridge or slow cruising around Marathon. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 10 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Visual alarms in hallways - Wheelchair accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Annual offsets purchased for at least 10% of carbon footprint - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Towels (changed on request) - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29990000/29988500/29988441/12ee72be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### THE PERFECT PLACE -PRIVATE ELEVATOR,DOCK,HEAT POOL.
