Accommodation

Lido Beach - 25 mins drive from UPCC

Perhaps surprisingly, February is high season in Florida, with the many snowbirds who head down that way from the frozen North.

This means that hotel rooms will be in demand and rates will be higher than otherwise might be the case.

Inland, and not to far away from the golf courses, there are a number of chain hotels offering a standard American service. Typically rooms will have 2 queen beds in them, allowing costs to be saved by sharing for those who wish.

An alternative would be a more traditional beach hotel closer to the water. Prices may be higher at that time of the year and journey times to the golf courses would be increased.

In particular, anyone looking at accommodation on one of the keys will need to be aware that there is the risk of traffic delay at peak times.

AirBnB is a realistic option with some larger properties available for those willing to share.

Finally, it should also be possible for those who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity to find some local hosts who would be delighted to offer you a room in their house in UPCC.  This will not suit all, but the offer is made in all seriousness for the Wed-Saturday nights.  If anyone is interested in this, please let me know.
