I'm also thinking about Beaches in TC and would love to see any pictures anyone has. Thanks for the help!

Has anyone been to the Coconut Cove Resort and Marina in Islamorada, Fl?

What's the difference between the Ocean Blue and the Ocean Sand? I just went to look them up and I'm a little confused.

Does anyone know typically how warm it is in Key West that time of year? We want to have an outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception but we're not sure if it will be warm enough for people to sit outside the entire night.

Both of you are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for helping. I really liked everything I saw about the Pierhouse until I read about their "top-optional" beach. That made me really nervous that we'd be saying "I do" next to some half naked lady, not exactly how I've been picturing my wedding. I will definitely contact them again then.

Juliepfief, Are you planning on staying at the Pierhouse or could you offer suggestions on places to stay in Key West? I don't really want to spend the days leading up to my wedding around half naked people either. I think I'll just be uncomfortable.

Inanna, the private beach house or estate actually sounds really nice. We would like to have our wedding New Year's Eve and finding somewhere that will carry the reception past 11 or into the New Year has been a pain so far. I will definitely look through everything you suggested. Which estate did you end up using?

Thank you both again!

Does anyone know anything about Islamorada? We are thinking about getting married somewhere in the Keys but I don't want a big touristy area like Key West. Any advice or things you could point about Islamorada or other islands would be awesome.

Places we've looked into include...

Casa Morada but they can't accommodate a larger wedding

Cheeca Lodge and Spa but it's too expensive for our guests

Coconut Cove....read good things online about weddings there but don't know anything about it

Pierhouse but apparently their private beach is "top-optional" which is not exactly what I had in mind for my wedding day

The Pierhouse's website says their private beach is "top-optional." Has anyone been their and is that true? I liked it until I read that. Not really what I had in mind for my wedding day.

My roommate insists that Commander's Palace in Destin is the best restaurant on the gulf coast. I have never been there personally because I live in Pensacola, but I've heard nothing but great things about the place. Check it out!
