The Keys are pretty quiet at night, except for Key West. If you want to hear live music, shop, bars, restaurants, etc. then Key West is the place. We just get a bed and breakfast within 2-3 blocks of downtown and/or Duval Street and walk everywhere. Parking is tough and expensive. Watch out for the t-shirt shops, the local Russian mafia owns a bunch of those. Young East Europeans working everywhere in the restaurants and motels. Our last waitress there was from Siberia. From Key West harbor, we then take the 100-foot catamaran ferry 68 miles offshore to Fort Jefferson, and escape the crowds. Looks about like the Pacific Ocean out there. Tarpon cruising by, snorkeling, kayaks if you rent em in Key West and bring em on the boat. We always camp out, the ferry's passengers are only on the island for 4 hours, then they leave. It's also the biggest civil war fortress in the country, and a national park. They got big goliath grouper under the dock you can swim with, up to 300 pounds. I've stayed up and down the Keys in years past, and its pretty much just fishing and drinking at night, they roll up the sidewalks pretty early. They have fine weather there in November.
