#182: Little Palm Island (Page 601; Listed as The Florida Keys in the 2nd Ed, pg 749)

Oct. 1, 2016
Here is the aerial view of Little Palm Island, a secluded, private island in the Keys.

In order to get there, you have to have a reservation at their restaurant or to spend the night in one of their bungalows.  And if you do, then you come here to Little Torch Key and board their private ship, 

the Woodson.

We were the only three guests on the ship, so we had a private boat ride over to the island.

Our first glimpses of the island and its private bungalows. 



So, if you're ever wondering what paradise on a private island looks like, here you go....

Welcome to Little Palm Island.

Isn't she a beaut?

Docked and ready to return back to Little Torch Key




Our last glimpse at LPI from the Woodson.... a little taste of the South Pacific.

Verdict:  No.  You don't need to do this before you die, especially if spending $1200 for a night gives you high blood pressure.  Other options:  Book a reservation at the restaurant (there is only one) and go for Breakfast (~$30/person), Lunch (~$50/person) or Dinner (~$100/person).  This place is perfect for a 2-3 day romantic getaway - an Anniversary or something along those lines.  But honestly, I'm more of a down-to-earth - go go go type of person, so after a day or two here, I'd be going stir crazy.  BUT, if you 1) have the money and 2) are looking for the ultimate in seclusion and privacy with all the pampering perks of having somebody cook for you, clean for you, serve you, offer you spa treatments, etc., then this place is definitely for you!
