If you want quiet and relaxing, Fantasy Fest wouldn't be the best time.
KW proper has some options--I have been told that Truman Annex is more laid abck than other areas of KW--dad911 may be able to provide more info on some other spots, but you will want to stay away from anything near Duval. It can get rowdy, and when the cruise ships dock at Mallory square, it can get crowded.
You may want to look into the mid-upper Keys. Summerland/Big Pine are more relaxed, but within easy drive distance to KW. And Bahia Honda State Park (with its beach) is close.
Of course, there is Sunset Key cottages, private island off Mallory Square, operated by the Marriott--nice, but very $$$$--you have to take a ferry (around the clock service) to the island, but it is a short trip (10 min). It also has a "real" beach. Most of the Keys and KW don't.
