Floriday Keys

Whenever I look for availability in the Keys, I see nothing in RCI, from either a weeks account or a Wyndham account or a DVC account. What is the current strategy for getting weeks (or days) in the Keys via RCI? Will an ongoing search work? How far in advance to start one?

I had an ongoing search for Marathon or Key West and turned down 2 offers that turned up because we would be in Hawaii then. I started searching in Dec. 2015 for any time and the ones that have shown up for Marathon have both been for Sept. 2016 and were offered to me in Feb. 2016. Several from Key Largo have shown up, but we were being picky. When I released the last Marathon hold a couple weeks ago, I inadvertantly cancelled my search, so watch out if you release a hold online. Guess I could have called RCI and tried to get it back, but decided not to bother.
