Big Pine Key Discount Bookings with Accommodation Michigan

I forgot to mention the key deer that were all around. It was always fun to see the, quite close to the houseboat. We were close enough to Key West, without the Key West prices. Oh and there's a good restaurant within walking distance, the No Name pub. Excellent pizza. Also go to see the Blue Hole, 10 minutes away.

Big Pine is a relative large, forested island which is not overly urbanized. It is the main habitat of the Key Deer. The Key Deer is a very small kind of deer which is perfectly adjusted to living in a small location. They are wondering around everywhere on the island including the highways. They are not afraid of people. You can drive around the island. I particularly enjoyed going to No Name Key which is connected by a bridge to Big Pine. I recommend a pub-restaurant the "No Name Pub." Sea food is very fresh. The restaurant is unique in that the walls and ceiling are covered in dollar bills that people have attached to the wall since 1936. (Reportedly, 90,000 dollars)

Quiet and quaint with nice view of the gulf. Friendly owner. Clean spacious room. Environmental conscious. About 50 minutes from Key West. Bikes and kayaks provided. I would recommend for those seeking Keys experience without the noisy crowds. Delightful Key Deer abound.

Big Pne seems less commercialized as say Marrathon, Key West, Islandmadora or Key Largo. You can still find plenty of outdoor things to do but not a lot of things to see as far as touristy trap things like some of the other islands. I say that as a plus because we where there for the beautiful beach and relaxed atmosphere. The islands has a Key Deer reserve and the deer come thru at any time and greet you. They are very tame.

The room was great. It had an excellent ocean view. The location was beautiful. The key deer were wonderful. Bicycles and kayaks were free and available. Swimming is a little difficult in that you have to walk over coral to get to deep enough water to swim. We did not like the vegan breakfasts, but then we are not vegans. The No Name Pub nearby has great food.

Big Pine is a great location for people who want to travel to the tropics but also want to experience nature. The endangered Key Deer are a delight to watch as they roam around the island. Locals are kind and there is plenty of shopping available on the island. The cost of staying on Big Pine is significantly less expensive than staying on Key West, but the drive is only about 40 minutes with traffic.
