Accommodations in the Upper, Middle and Lower Florida Keys

Fine accommodations at a wide range of rates can be found from Key Largo all the way into the Lower Keys. While It was once true that the traveler looking for economy rates could find them in the Middle Keys, the re-development   strategies of the past few years have changed this. Approximately 2700 rooms at the low end of the price spectrum were taken offline in preparation for re-development into higher priced condo units. Constuction stalled because of the downturn in the real estate market, but the damage was done. Once affordable hotels and motels have raised their rates to take advantage of the lack of supply, and can no longer be considered economy or even moderate accommodations.  

We would recommend the following:

Located on five lush acres on the bay side of Islamorada (eye-la-more-ah-dah) is the Coral Bay Resort. Heated pool. Sandy beach leading to a swimmable tidal pool. Dockage. Spacious and immaculate cottages with brand new interiors and covered porches, decorated in rich Caribbean style. Standard rooms with small fridge and coffee maker, efficiencies, one and two bedroom apartments and two bedroom/two bath suites. Ideal for romantic couples. Families welcome.

Near the center of Marathon, walking distance to shopping and other amenities, is the newly renovated, Sea Dell Motel.
