This is your own private, tropical resort, complete with 2 pools, hot tub, game room, fire pit, and multiple buildings with over 6 acres of gated, lushly landscaped privacy. As you pass through the gates, you'll enter a hidden paradise and you might forget the outside world exists. Relax in one of two climate-controlled swimming pools, serenaded by the soothing sounds of a poolside waterfall and birdsong. Mix up a perfect margarita at the tiki hut bar and watch the kids enjoy their splash-filled day. Although Key West’s dining and activities are nearby, the extensive amenities at your private resort might just make you want to stay put! Pelico Palms caters to both adventure seekers and those just looking to chill in paradise. Enjoy biking, game room, a small, private sandy beach to launch your kayak or paddleboard, corn hole, a fire pit, bird-watching, endless exploration, swimming, grilling your fresh catch on the expansive back deck, or simply lounging in a hammock as you marvel at the diverse and abundant wildlife. The property features meticulously updated accommodations that blend modern comforts with historic charm. Multiple houses offer flexible and private options for your group. Enter the Villa to find soaring Dade County Pine ceilings, a Coquina-walled fireplace, and a baby grand piano in the loft, revealing a truly special setting. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and an additional loft with beds, the spacious Villa is ideal for multiple couples or families. The Treehouse provides intimate space with classic Keys character, perfect for 2 couples or a family, while the Sunset Cottage is a charming hideaway with 3 king ensuites - perfect for a family or 3 separate couples. Privacy, wildlife, and breathtaking sunsets await. Enjoy a range of adventures just minutes away, from diving North America's most spectacular living coral reef to chartering a boat at Sugarloaf Marina to explore local sandbars and pristine beaches. Sample fresh seafood at nearby restaurants or dock your own boat at Cudjoe Marina, just 3 miles away (contact Cudjoe Marina for availability and pricing). As avid travelers with extensive vacation rental experience, our family has crafted an experience at Pelico Palms that promises to create unforgettable memories for you and your group.
What's nearby: Located at Mile Marker 19 on Sugarloaf Key, guests will enjoy staying in a neighborhood right by the shore, with downtown Key West just 30 minutes away. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Home and the Key West Lighthouse, both less than 20 miles from your door! If you'd like to get out on the water, this home is just a short walk from a small kayak launch area for exploring the backwaters of Sugarloaf Key, while Cudjoe Marina and Sugarloaf Marina both offer boat ramps, gas, and bait, just 10 minutes north and south. Walkers will also enjoy this home's connection to a private nature trail at the end of Crane Boulevard for hiking, biking, rollerblading, and viewing local wildlife including key deer, cranes, eagles, and osprey in their natural habitat. And best of all, you don’t have to travel far to find amazing local restaurant options like Square Grouper, Mangrove Mamas, South of the Seven, and Baby’s Coffee.

Family Vacation
The host was one of best I ever had. So accommodating and welcoming. Whatever we needed - Wendy addressed it! Perfect for our group, a mix of adults and our children ages 18-24. The pool was heated and short work to nature preserve. Vball court, bike and bags game at property. 30 min drive into Key West allowed us to do excursions for comedy club, snorkeling fishing and boat ride.

Great property for large groups.
We stayed at this property for 4 days and 3 nights to celebrate a milestone birthday with friends and family. This place is huge! The main house was the gathering point for everyone and had a great family room and kitchen. We had some of our party stay in the Treehouse and some in the Sunset Cottage, plenty of space for everyone with some privacy for all. We spent most of the time by the pool and Tiki Hut. The hut had Bluetooth speakers so it was easy to play the music we wanted. Great location with easy access to Key West. This property would be great for family reunions, birthday celebrations, and any gathering of friends or family. Be forewarned, the Keys are really hot and humid in the summer!

Great Stay!
More than enough room to accommodate 16 of us down there for a bachelor party. Pool was great place to hang out. Could use more plates for the big groups, but other than that definitely recommend if you want more space than what you would get in Key West. About a 25-30 minute drive to Key West activities, which was worth it for privacy, lots of rooms/beds and great pool

Dream vacation
We were very happy with the location to Key West. Your facilities are great. The heated pool and tiki bar were really nice and used every day! The treehouse was fabulous. The bedrooms were all very nice. Only two negatives from the group-the cockroaches found in the main house and the main house clothes dryer took a long time to dry. These were not big negatives in any way!! Thank you for helping to make our vacation a fabulous experience!
