5 Ways to Take Advantage of Laid-Back Keys Vibes

From the natural beauty to the local laid-back vibe, there's no place in America like the Florida Keys. We invite you to settle into the simple pleasures of island life at Parmer’s Resort on Little Torch Key. Our Key West hotel is perfect for every traveler, whether here for a weekend or an extended escape. Here are five ways to soak up the laid-back Keys vibes that make this place so unforgettable.

1. Start Your Day with a Waterfront Sunrise

There’s something grounding about waking up with the sun over the water. At Parmer’s, many of our rooms and suites offer peaceful sunrise views right outside your door. Take your coffee down to the dock, sit back, and watch the day come to life.

2. Kick Back by the Pool or in a Hammock

Do you prefer floating in the pool or dozing off under a palm tree? Either way, the vibe here is all about slowing down. Our grounds are dotted with hammocks, lounge chairs, and quiet corners, perfect for relaxing and recharging. Bring a book, your favorite drink, or simply nothing at all.

3. Get Out on the Water

Laid-back doesn’t mean boring. Parmer’s Resort offers direct access to Little Torch Keys' activities, including kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. There are also more extensive water activities, such as boat excursions. Glide through the mangroves, spot dolphins in the distance, or drop a line for a mellow afternoon of fishing.

4. Explore the Lower Keys Like a Local

Take a scenic drive to Big Pine Key to spot Key deer, explore the National Key Deer Refuge, or head south to visit iconic landmarks in Key West, just 30 miles away. The beauty of staying at Parmer’s is that you’re far enough from the crowds to feel secluded, yet close enough to explore whenever you feel like it.

5. Stay a Little Longer

Once you settle into the rhythm of the Keys, it’s hard to leave. Our variety of accommodations (from simple rooms to spacious suites and cottages) makes it easy to extend your stay. Whether you're working remotely or just need a few extra days to recharge, Parmer’s offers the space and flexibility to make it happen.

Ready to unwind, island style? Parmer’s Resort is your home base for quiet mornings, sunny days, and starlit evenings. Book your stay and let the laid-back Keys vibes take over.
