bigsnook35 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hoping for any help from you guys for a rental on Big Pine Key. This is a family trip we have been taking for the past 16 years or so and could possibly be the last one for my mother so trying to make sure the tradition continues. I appreciate any help that can be found. The house my family and I have been staying at the past 8 years won’t be ready by Lobster season. Seems the insurance companies are always quick to take payments but very slow to payout. As some of you know first hand. We usually go down for two weeks at the start of lobster season. This year it would be August 4-18. If anyone has any leads or friends that happen to have houses being unused at that time it would be greatly appreciated to put us in contact. There are usually 6-8 of us, depending on what days people are able to get off work. Except my parents that is. They are living that retirement life. I’ll be there in 25 years or so. Not that I am counting. The house would need to be at least a 2 bed/ 2 bath, 3 bed/ 2 bath would be even better. But we can work around what is available. The house would need to be on a canal without height restrictions as I know a few canals have low bridges. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please pm me on here or let me know how to contact you. Attached are a few photos from past trips. Thank you guys very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsnook35 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I have checked and there is only one on there right now. I sent an email to the one from VRBO and have not gotten anything back yet. I just wanted to see if there were any other options out there. Trying to get as many options as possible.

justfish Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Nonsense the insurance companies are great. 😬 BP Fishing Lodge has some efficiency and trailer rentals but never checked em out other than seeing them when we camp there. We always enjoy our time there so maybe worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsnook35 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 They are booked solid unfortunately. That was one of our first checks. As weird as it sounds they have the best price on non ethanol fuel around down there. With the added benefit of not having to lug fuel cans to gas station and back. Appreciate the ideas.

localangler Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Does BP Lodge have fuel again? We will be down in June but I didn't expect them to rebuild that quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsusteve Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm not sure if the pumps are back up, store is still closed, trailers are gone, there's still debate on whether they'll rebuild the efficiencies, so right now it's just the loft rooms and camp sites. I kept my camper there for years and sold it a few months before the storm, it was destroyed by Irma in storage down there, new owner never insured it. Most of the homes sustained some form of damage so pickings will be thin. Did you check Parmer's? I know they reopened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
