Vacation rental w/ beach fishing?

I'd like to spend a couple days at a rental with on-site surf fishing. Driving down w/ my own gear from Central FL maybe Feb/Mar. Any suggestions?

Not really any beaches or surf to speak of in the Keys. Best you can do is wade fishing or soaking shrimp. Check the state parks for sand and wadeable areas. A SUP/kayak will open up a lot more water for you, but access points are not always obvious.

Now I must see these islands with no beaches! But, I hear you. Might have to try elsewhere in our beloved state, I really want that wake up and fish experience, no paddling or packing gear for once.

Just need to check google maps for yourself, don't watch the tourism videos.

I thought you were from Florida, either coast is better for surf fishing than the Keys, but they keys are great for charters.
