when we went down over Christmas 2012 we stayed in a house in Marathon that was pretty nice. It ahd a full kitchen, washer/dryer, three bedrooms and a family room. I'll find out the details from my wife if you need more info

Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge has rooms and efficiencies. Very nice place with a heated pool.

I know a guy who has a place on Sugarloaf Key, but he rented it to a Dr. for the whole winter.

charlie, rmb is correct about big pine fish lodge, great place, very reasonable. some of the other cheaper places i've stayed are
looe key dive resort(further south on big pine key)
boatels in marathon. a collection of old houseboats turned into rooms, some with kitchens, some just a large barge with individual bedrooms and a common bathroom, like a boarding house.
key colony duplexes in marathon, usually through a realtor
hampton inn in key west

i will say it's been a while since i was there and the market is very fluid , but usually the further south you go, the more it cost.

have you tried craigs list?

good luck

Charlie, I tried to find it but I can't for some reason. we stayed on 99th street at Marathon,right beside the town hall, we found it thru tripadviser.com It was a pretty cool place, but I'll be the first to tell you it sucked not having a boat with us, we didn't even have a kayak. If I were to do it all over again, I'd rather stay on the gulf side, especially not having a boat. But there was still plenty to do, and i drank a large amount of beer sitting on the back deck drowning bait in the canal behind the house. I'd go back again in a heart beat.

BPKFL does not have a website but there are a bunch of pics of it if you do a google search.

You will have to call them to check on rates/availability. (305) 872-2351

Bahia (pronounced "Ba-ee-ah") Honda State Park also has some cabins, but they are near impossible to get reservations for...but it never hurts to try, they use "reserveamerica.com".

one of the problems, we'll be down there during spring break. I hate to go at that time but it's the only time I can get off when the kids are out of school. we may take a different tac. thinking about getting and early start and staying north to south and ending the trip in key west. not sure yet. got a few more tricks up my sleeve.
