Hi everyone, wife wants to rent a little hut over the water like you see in some commercials. Does anyone have any idea where these exist without having to travel around the world. We live in NC. If the place was clothing optional that would be a bonus.

Check out Petit Byahaut, not huts over the water, but a pretty cool, out-of-the-way, secluded beach, private place in St. Vincent http://outahere.com/petitbyahaut/resort/resort.html

Also, check out Nine Beaches in Bermuda, formerly Daniel's Head.

Most of the glamorous pics you see in commercials are found in the South Pacific, although as mentioned above, they do exist in the Caribbean.

Ramon's is a very nice resort right in the town of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye; it's cabanas are not over water. San Pedro is a tiny town with sand (unpaved) streets, and a great place to vacation.
From your original post, I thought you meant built out in the water - Anthony's Key Resort in Roatan, Honduras, has some of those. Also, most resorts in French Polynesia do too but they are very, very, very pricey!

When we were in Belize we went for three days to "Little Water Caye" and the "hut" we had was over the water.. I must warn you though its beautiful its more natural than luxury.. THey are very simple little "cabins" not fancy at all.no air conditioning.. . the beauty of the place is the fact that it is so remote (45 min boat ride from the mainland) and only 4 cabins on the island. Reasonalbly priced.. the food is whatever they decide to cook that day.. nothing exotic..we even ate leftovers from dinner one day for lunch.. But the snorkeling is amazing.. so untouched.. its nice for a few days.. I would not stay there for more than that as there is really nothing to do but swim and snorkel as you can walk the island in 15 mins... fun though little island in the middle of nowhere and really beautiful

Teddie, thanks for the info. It seems most have said the same thing as you. The huts are very nice but not much else to do. This is something my wife wants and although I usually do all the fact finding I will and insist she read all these replies. I think your right that it would be fun for a couple of days but then probably drive me crazy wanting something to do. I like socializing myself.

We stayed right next to Ramon's last May and met people who were staying there - they hated it and ended up getting a condo next door where we were staying. I would highly recommend The Palms - they are beautiful condos right on the beach, large balconies with lounge chairs and hammocks, full size apt condos. If interested go to www.belizepalms.com. We will definitely go back!
