Review: Bluewater Key Luxury RV Resort, Bluewater Key FL
The Bluewater Key resort has sites on the canal (Blue Canal), offwater, and on the waterfront (Lower Sugarloaf Sound.) Many of the sites are owned and so all of the sites are off limits to everyone but the occupants. Each site is different and that reflects the style of the owner, but each one has a beautiful tiki hut with draw-down, see-through sides to protect against weather. The sites all have plenty of room for large RVs and their toads.
Features: Storage for boats and trailers, parks, pool, club house, fishing, wifi, water, sewer, cable, and 30/50 amp hook ups.
The waterfront sites have piers that are perfect for swimming and launching paddle boards and boats.
The wifi service uses tengointernet.com and worked OK for basic use. Once connected to the nearest hotspot it appeared necessary to use a web browser to login however the URL given (start.tengointernet.com) was very slow and would not really do anything. Fortunately the internet did work without a login or a purchase. I am not sure if that is how it is intended to function.
Key West is about 14 miles West of Bluewater key, but there are cabs that can make the trip. Enterprise car rentals will not do a pick up that far out. Key West itself has a lot to do. Check out Dry Tortugas!
The cost is going to average at least double what a normal RV campground/resort will run, but Bluewater Key is at easily twice as nice as any that I've been to. With the gated community, water front, views, service, and location, it's not hard to justify spending over $100/night. Rates are cheaper off-season (summer time), but this resort puts the vast majority to shame. I have no complaints and can't think of any negatives.
Summary:
The Bluewater Key Luxury RV Resort is well worth the high price!
I give it ten out of ten stars.

Review: Port St. Lucie R.V. Resort, Port St. Lucie FL
Bottom line: Reasonably priced, nice little RV resort with easy access to lots of retail.
The Port St. Lucie R.V. Resort is located off S Federal Hwy 1 in Port St. Lucie just South of Fort Pierce Florida. There is a bit of driving through a high-traffic area to get to the resort. My GPS took me off I-95 exit 121 which is a little North of the spot. Exit 120 or 118 are ideal exits but either way, there will be some eastward travel required.
Also, it is easy to miss the turn into the resort when turning onto Jennings Rd. from Hwy 1, and the intersection at the end of Jennings is an odd one. You've got to pay attention otherwise you'll find yourself circling the block.
This resort costs around $40-$50 per night, which is about average. The after hours arrival was simple. We picked up our envelope and backed into the spot.
Features: paved sites, cable TV, wifi, 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer. There is also a club house with rec room, pool, and laundry room. Up to 2 pets are allowed per RV. The wifi is slow, but it should work OK for email.
The phone call to book was very pleasant and the whole campground was clean. I'd stay there again.
Summary:
The P.S.L. R.V. Resort is a nice place to stay, and I recommend it.
I give it seven out of ten stars.
