Spent a weekend down at Terry E's place on Cayo Costa. About the only negative I can think of is: you have to get there by boat. Doesn't seem too bad.
Otherwise, its near perfect. The house is big, a very simple, off the grid kind of place, with good cooking facilities, good bathrooms and plenty of place to sleep, assuming you don't want to be extremely private. The dock can accommodate at least 6 or 7 boats, more with some thought. The beach out front is beautiful and should be mostly deserted in October. Fishing is outstanding, inshore and off. Diving ain't shabby. Fresh oysters for the picking, all you can shuck. By next fall, I'm going to find a pen shell bed around there somewhere, outstanding if you have never tried them. You can drive to where someone can pick you up, there are at least two restaurants on the water close, and places to stay on the water close if you want more privacy. There is at least one place where you can leave your vehicle and trailer with no worries about it still being there after a long weekend.
Basicly, my highly biased opinion is that its a great spot.
