Key West, FL in February

Post date: 2019-12-09 17:13:34

I know precious little about Key West and the Keys in general. My friends are no help as they haven't been there, either. My spouse and I are attending a sort-of last-minute planned wedding in Key West mid-February 2020 and I know NOTHING about Key West. More specifics inside...

We have 2 days of mandatory wedding-related obligations and about 4 days of freedom. We think we want a rental car to see all—or more—of the Keys than just Key West but I am open to to any suggestions. Where to stay? See? Online it is so hard to separate the authentic wheat from the chaff and there seems to be a very wide range of online opinions with no real consensus as to what is a good hotel (Old Town seems a good idea but maybe not?). Is a rental car needed?

I am looking for the opinions of those who really know Key West.

The Keys are an oft-mentioned life-long dream of my spouse and I'd like to make it a memorable and great experience for her.

We like more fully-featured hotels rather than B&Bs unless they are exceptional. We'd like to stay under $500 a night although understand that is a big limitation and could go higher. A beach would be great but not a deal-breaker. We'd love to know about great restaurant and/or bar experiences and Key-West-ian experiences that only an experienced Key West visitor or resident would know.

I will be eternally grateful for any guidance!
