Thanks for the question, John.

It's cold here (Fort Lauderdale) today! But that is really rare. I hope you're lucky and get one of our warm winter weeks when you visit. Florida's forecast was for a warmer than usual winter, but that doesn't exclude cold snaps (as we have today.)

Those wooden cabins on Cayo Costa are designed for hot weather and I doubt there's much you can do to stay warm inside if you hit a cold spell. The windows have Bahama-type shutters that can be closed to eliminate the breeze you seek the rest of the year. That will make the cabins a little dark, even during the day, so battery-operated lanterns will be important. Warm sleeping bags will help, of course.

Beyond that, the unpredictability of winter weather here is one reason you can still book cabins in January. If you look at cabins in March -- much more reliably warm and still dry -- Cayo Costa is pretty well booked up.

I hope this helps.
