9BR Estate | 3 Homes & Pool | 30 Min to KW

Just 15 miles from Key West's vibrant energy, this secluded haven offers unmatched tranquility, space, and privacy, serving as a serene escape from the crowds. 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.
