[QUOTE="97svt/01saleen, post: 16805738, member: 52393"] We went to the Keys for Christmas last year. We wanted the whole experience so we flew into Miami and rented a Jeep and drove down to the Keys. The drive was not what I had pictured in my head lol. It was certainly nice in some spots but it was not the picturesque scene I was thinking of the whole way down. We stayed in Key Colony Beach @ [URL="https://www.continentalinnbeachside.com/"]Home[/URL] through Air BNB. It was a nice place, but we didn't realize how nice we had it until we drove around the Keys more. We quickly realized how lucky we were to have the beach that we did. There is not a lot of beach in the Keys and from we could tell from Key West, almost non-existent there. We wanted to see Key West for Christmas because they supposedly do a good job with lights around the town. So we went down for the day, and only stayed a couple hours. It was extremely crowded (I understand it was Christmas time) and was mainly just bar hopping and shops. If you are going to do the Hemmingway house, make sure you take cash, they do not accept credit cards to get in. So Key West, was cool to see and say we had been there but was kind of a let down. Key Colony Beach on the other hand was right up our alley. Very lowkey and not too crowded.
