As you pass through the gates, you'll enter a hidden paradise adorned with specimen palms and lush tropical landscaping. The island-inspired pool and tiki hut area will make you forget the outside world exists.

Relax in the climate-controlled swimming pool, 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.

We are two families that have been best friends for decades. Our kids grew up together exploring the islands and waters of The Keys, and our favorite hobbies together revolve around the amazing ocean, fantastic local dining, and island adventures that abound in the Lower Florida Keys. We are also avid travelers, and we love to rent large vacation homes together so we can share new adventures together!

When we first found Pelico Palms, it was a diamond in the rough. The history was amazing! It was the site of one of the largest Marijuana sting operations in The Keys. The private grounds, pool and houses were magnificent - but it had been vacant for years and battered by Hurricane Irma.

Walking the property, we immediately recognized it was a place like no other - one that, given the love it deserved, would be exactly the type of place our families would love to travel to! The sense of privacy and peace was palpable. We were fortunate enough to buy it, and spent the next 3 years bring it back to (and beyond) its former glory. No expense or detail was spared as we worked to make this a place where our guests could relax, destress, enjoy new adventures, and make island memories that would last forever.

The result is even better than our early visions and it has been a consistent guest favorite on AirBNB! Pelico Palms is a one of a kind, stunning tropical destination that brings people together, and leaves lasting impressions. We would be honored and excited to share this amazing experience with you, and we sincerely believe that you will love it as much as we do!
