I finally snagged a nice site at Long Key SP from 12/19-1/2. I also have site 6 at Sebastian Inlet SP from 12/24-12/26 that I will have to cancel as well.
Just curious...IF you REALLY planned on spending 12/19 to 1/2 at LONG KEY SP how would you spend 12/24 to 12/26 at Sebastian Inlet SP. Or do y'all book everything up front then cancel as the wind changes..:h:h
Thanks, just trying to understand...Dennis
Places like LKSP (oceanfront E/W for $38.50/night) are EXTREMELY hard to book during snowbird season. They're booked 11 months out, the minute they become available.
When you DO get one, you book for the entire 2 weeks allowed. You just do. (If you have two weeks off work to be there).
It's alot easier to cancel or pass along to someone else a few days in the middle than, say, book 5 days, leave for the next three (24th through 26th) and then HOPE you can get a second reservation again on the 27th.
Sites like those at LKSP don't go unrented. They're just too much in demand.
What he said.... I reserved the two weeks at LKSP to cover the days I actually wanted which were 12/26-1/2. I got the Sebastian Inlet site to visit some family in Port St. Lucie and spend Christmas Day with them before packing up and hitting the Keys on the 26th. As the poster above mentioned I would go back and cancel the 19th-25th. It's just how the game is played on Reserve America.... I'm not a big fan of it but you have to do it if you want to stay anywhere in the Keys. For those saying go anyway believe me it was heavily weighed and we were about ready to go for it but on the advise of my wife's OB we decided to cancel. Rest assured I will be dragging my butt out of bed again in Jan '16 to get a site for next year.
