Local attractions
Housing: in Key West can be difficult since it's on an island. If you live inland (on the island) your best option is to find a roommate of someone who already has a place rented. This can cut down your housing expenses to under $1200 per month. If you want to secure your own house or cottage keep in mind you will need to put down the first and last month of rent plus a deposit. Make sure to also ask your co-workers if they know of anyone looking to share a room. Please see roommates.com, roomies.com, apartment oddles, apartment.com.
Transportation: There is a bus route in Key West (link). We highly recommend bicycling in Key West, especially in the Old Town area. Locals love their one-speed beach-style bicycles, known as Conch Cruisers. There are plenty of bike rental places in Key West. One of our favorite bike rental companies in Key West is Island Bicycles (link). They have a decidedly funky, reggae vibe and a good selection of quality rentals.
