I am dreaming of a quiet, secluded spot in the keys close to or on the beach, a local bar but otherwise quiet....some where so dark at night that you feel you are in the sky...is that possible to find in the keys?

Expensive, but what you are looking for.

Ramrod Key..M.M.27.5...good fun bar and rest.,Boondocks...very low key place...

Looe Key Reef Resort & Dive Center...M M 27...

i am trying to plan a honeymoon in july and im somewhat on a budget. we dont want to stay in key west,maybe a different island??

in reality- key west is very slow except around Duval St and mallory dock. where all the taverns are located. The rest of the island looks like it fell out of san francisco. And it really doesn't have a "beach". Try Bahia Honda State Park just north of Big Pine Key for quiet and seclusion. They have rustic cabins that you can rent. Anywhere in the Keys other than key west is fine for relaxing...Tavernier, Islamorada, and Largo are great and have big name national chain hotels. Come in April or may and beat the heat and rain.
