Kevin's comment concerned me, regarding overall cost. Keep in mind that Sunset Key is a somewhat private island and you are paying for the exclusivity. Cheeca Lodge can be expensive, but I was able to find a room for $219 based on the dates Sept 20-25. I did the same search for Tranquility Bay and was able to find a 2 bedroom beach house for $159 per night. As with any hotel or destination, you pay more for views and peak travel dates. Sunset Key was $665 for a one bedroom cottage based on the same seach dates. The Florida Keys isn’t a budget destination and is popular not just for families but for all demographics of travelers.

It looks so luxury and perfect. I live in Key West and have always driven my boat by Sunset Key Island and wondered how cool it would be to walk around on it. It looks so luxury and perfect.

I found the caged dolphines to be depressing. The dolphines are treated well and in a natural ocean pool, however it's still a sad sight and makes you feel powerless.

Even under construction Sunset Key is 800 a night. Which family do you have in mind here? These are not recommendations with wide appeal because of the cost alone! Nice luxury choices, but where are the family choices during a recession!?! Are you kidding? …. Even under construction Sunset Key is 800 a night. Which family do you have in mind here?

Who can spend that kind of money just for the hotel on a family vacation. Anyone can find a nice place for $1000 a night. The challenge is finding one for $300 a night. Yiks!
