Home to a timber-framed three-story residence, Melody Key promises the upmost of privacy in the Lower Keys. The island’s natural foliage blocks out the outside world, but with Summerland Key and the Overseas Highway mere minutes away, jumping back in the hubbub of civilisation is effortless. Three airy bedrooms tend to the creature comforts, with private en-suite and technological frills for the modern traveller, opening out onto spacious balconies overlooking the pool and surrounding waters. Rewarding the adventurous, the island is equipped to accommodate snorkelling in the crystal turquoise waters, game fishing, sailing, kayaking and jet-skiing – or for a more sedentary time, the house’s commodious lounge and lobby beckon.
