You don't need a passport for these overwater bungalow-style stays

Overwater bungalow-style stays are being marketed as a tropical alternative for travelers who want the experience without long-haul flights. The article highlights U.S. waterfront and lagoon accommodations that replicate parts of the overwater concept, featuring private, upscale lodging near the water, local dining, and activities on land and sea. It first spotlights Bungalows Key Largo in the Florida Keys, an adults-only all-inclusive retreat with Waterfront and Garden Bungalows, private porches, soaking tubs, and access to five onsite restaurants, premium drinks, water-sports rentals, and fitness classes. Next is Little Palm Island Resort & Spa on Little Torch Key, a private-island resort reachable only by boat or seaplane, with thatched-roof bungalows steps from the ocean and experiences like scuba diving and trips to Dry Tortugas National Park. The piece also notes Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows, positioned over Disney’s Seven Seas Lagoon near the Magic Kingdom via monorail, water taxi, or walk.
