Florida Keys - Suggestion for lodging with small children

I'm looking to plan a family trip in late February. Our kids then will be 4 and almost 2, so we're looking for a condo like place that is family friendly. Doesn't need to be fancy, just clean with a beach and/or pool. I've found a few in Marathon, but would love any suggestions from people that know the area. Thanks!

This was our favorite place -
http://www.whitegatecourt.com/

Turn off the road and you feel like you are in old, lush Florida.

Small beach. Nice cottages with kitchenettes. Grassy lawn for kids to run and play. Grills outside if you want to cook. Mid-point in the keys for easy access for sight-seeing. Not fancy, but wonderful.

From the link above -
that WHITE GATE COURT is not a motel. The property is 119,000 square feet (approx. 3 acres) filled with huge ancient trees and colorful tropical plants. The maximum occupancy is 18-20 persons. That means 5,950 square feet per person to relax in peace and privacy. The tropical park between the highway and the buildings is a natural screen that keeps out the noise of the world you left behind.

We stayed here and really liked it. Off the main street so nice and quiet. Loved watching the dolphins swim offshore.
