The Florida Keys are one of Florida's most unique natural features. Bahia Honda is toward the southern end of the string of islands, and offers visitors of all ages an assortment of facilities. Only in the Keys can you watch the sun rise and set over open ocean waters and explore remarkable coral reefs. Anglers can fish from shore or launch a boat at the site's boat ramp. There are three duplex cabins for a total of six available rentals, all placed on stilts and overlooking the open water. One cabin is equipped with a wheelchair lift for accessibility.

Cayo Costa State Park is in the southwestern park district, not far from Fort Meyers, Florida. This secluded park is accessible only by boat.

It should also be noted that these are some of the least expensive beach cabins available for daily or weekly rental, due to the lack of modern conveniences.
