I am not a local, but this place is a good deal http://www.fortunehousehotel.com/

got one of the penthouse condos that could sleep 6 for less than 300 a night last summer, edit, prices are up from last summer 389 a night

Just a heads up......

A. February, Miami boat show week is probably the most expensive week of the year (summer is slow season)
B. You could spend $100-200 a day in cabs getting 7 people to/from the show/south beach

They show 399 a night for a two bed condo, bay view 14th through 16th, just about made up my mind to come and see what all the fuss is about

B rent a suburban, off airport or (God forgive me) a Kia Mini van, which I hate to say is a better vehicle than a Dodge Caraven

B. Parking will be $35 a day+ at the hotel and $25-50 at the show on top of the $100+ for the rental

Had to look it up, they did not charge me to park, but I did valet, less than 35, think it was 25, still cant beat the price in that part of town for that much room I think.

room rate was + taxes .

Loved the location and the view over Dodge Island and Government cut

Just wanted to say I'm sorry to here what your going threw, it's not easy. I just lost my dad and step-dad from Cancer this past oct, within 3 weeks apart. And my dad wanted to go out on my MTI , he's never been on a cat before. I was not able to take him for,that ride. But if I can help you out and take you and your dad for a ride I would love to. The only thing is that I will not have the boat down to Miami until Feb 19th, for the Poker Run. But if your driving down to the boat show, stop off in Tampa on the way down and we can make it happen.

This is what's its about. Fountain vs cig is fun but has no true bearing on life. People get butthurt over stupid things. When it boils down to it the Oso and powerboating community is a strong one. Willing to help one another. Glad to see it and hope someone's schedule works out to help out. I would if I could.

Hats off to all trying and willing to help out.

I just talked with Jason not to long ago, and again depending on when your in town, we will take you out on his Baja for a ride. Just PM me or rollwithit and let us know. We will be driving down on the 14th and be there in the morning, staying in Ft Lauderdale, and leaving late Sunday. We will be at the show one day, and out in the boat the rest of the time in Lauderdale and Miami.

It would be nice if BAJA would do something. Anyone got an "in" there?
You should also go to the the bajaboatowners website and see if anyone there will be around.
