Thanks for the input guys, I don't know if we can get in to Hawk's on the dates we are looking at right now, this kinda a spur of the moment vacation.....

A little money saver (like 50%) is to book a villa through VRBO.com instead of directly from Hawk's Cay. Now renting from the owner prevents you from using the hotel amenities but putting your boat in the marina/renting the slip behind the villa from them gets all the hotel privileges back!

Check out Lorelei's on the "north side of Islamorada" excellent food and first rate entertainment every time I've been there. You can get to it by water, although we had to use a tender .................................................. ................Rjr............................... ........................

They have a marina right next to it with some 30-40 ft boats so there has to be a way in other than a tender.

Look into Hawks Key(CAY) that is on Marathon key I beleive. Also look into Holidy Isle which is on Isle Morada http://holidayisle.com/

I have stayed in the keys for about 15 years visiting my grand parents, personally the better areas to be is in the middle of the chain to key West. not much to see in the northern keys.
