Orlando--Nearby island within 4hrs. drive

My husband and I are going to be in Orlando Feb. 2002. Would like to spend 4-5 days on a nearby island (within 4-5 hrs. drive-time). Went to Sanibel/Captiva last year. Loved Captive but want to try somewhere new. Recommendations? Amelia? Longboat Key? Jeckyll?
Thanks!

Hi Michelle, I love Siesta key. St. Armand's Circle, nice restaurants, great, gorgeous beaches IMO, with the softest sand in the world.

Amelia and Jekyll will definitely be too cold in February. Even Longboat might be, though it could easily be beautiful too. Obviously, the further south you head the better your odds of finding nice beach weather awaiting you.

How about Marco island? it's a few miles south of Naples and is very nice... you could even stay in Naples which has beautiful hotels and drive into Marco Island
