Your best bet is Everglades City just east of Naples.  This is where the rich 
and famous DO NOT gather.  Motels, hotels, bed & breakfast and available as 
are several kayak/canoe rental facilities.  You can kayak in the ocean, among 
14,000 mangrove islands offshore, and into the interior up several creeks, 
canals, and rivers.

Another place is Flamingo, as far south on the Florida mainland as you can go 
in the Everglades National Park. Facilities are available but somewhat 
limited. Kayaking opportunities abound. Facilities are also available just 
off the Park in Florida City and Holmstead (just to the east of the Park 
entrance). Rentals in the Park at Flamingo are available.

I don't have the specific web cite handy, but go to google.com and key in 
"Everglades National Park".  Their web cite will give you a world of info.  

Happy Kayaking!
