Re: Keys trip: upper vs middle
I have stayed at both places for a week each with small kids, FWIW-KCB is one of a kind for a private, safe area and very cool. I stayed in Tavernier for a week with my family and another family. Not all SeaCraft members are currently reminded or ever experienced the needs of mom and kids being happy for a week on vacation. North Keys have closer access to multiple kid friendly oceanside boatable locations / fishing offshore. Throw in the landside activities like the waterpark, Pennekamp, Dairy queen, ect. and MOM and KIDS will be HAPPY.
 Then YOU can enjoy what you want to do THE MOST!

of mush, I drug them to the keys every year since birth. As they got into their teens, they kept saying, Do we HAVE to do the keys again....... Well guess what, Now they say, Dad when are you going to the Keys, cause we want to GO!!!!! If you torture them while they are young some day they come to their senses!!!!! Sooo with that said, Take those little brats there and make them have a good time. Both of my kids (and grandkids) love the boating life style. If you think that they are going to hate you, just forget it! Oh yeah, Islamorda is not just for the rich and famous! The Ragged Edge Resort is the poor mans paradise in the high rent district. Trust ME!! See ya, Ken

Re: Keys trip: upper vs middle
We go to Bahia Honda, between Marathon and Big Pine, every year for Thanksgiving, for a week to ten days.

Re: Keys trip: upper vs middle
I stay at a place called Executive Bay in Islamorada/Plantation Key. It's a friend of the family that moved to NY and left us the keys
"to take care of the place" It has its own dockage club house and pool and it's right next door to a great park with all kinds of facilities.And it seems that the kids 15 & 18 always find friends to hang out with so it works out. The only issue is a condo commander that is a real pain on anyone that does not own a unit cannot dock the boat there and they have a no pet rules which sucks. So I just rent a slip next door for the time I am there and park it over night. But you can't beat the price. Close to a lot of attactions and eating places.

1-Boat ramp on site and trailer storage N/C (less fuel) 2-5 Hours from home, compared to 6 hrs. to KCB (less fuel) 3-Restaurants (More to choose from within a close distance)(Less fuel) 4-More close in reefs and wrecks (Less fuel) 5-Security, security, security!!! Have had more then one friend stay at KCB and come back home lighter of gear etc. !!! Have been going to Islamorda my whole life. When the kids were small we Motorhomed it, when they became teenagers the M/H was not big enough for their friends and us, so we started renting houses in Treasure Harbor and Venetian Shores. When the kids became adults and moved on, hence came the Ragged Edge... The way I figure it my savings are about $700 in fuel by not going further down in the keys. All in all to each his own and whatever makes you happy. So be it! See ya, Ken
