Florida Keys Vacation Rentals

(572 rentals)
Days in the Florida Keys are spent on the water — diving the reef off Key Largo, chasing tarpon out of Islamorada, or walking down to the dock behind the house. Vacation rentals commonly have docks on canals, though there are some beaches within driving distance in each major area. Expect to pay a median of $388 a night for a vacation house or $290 a night for a condo.

Where to stay in the Florida Keys

Map of Monroe County vacation rental areas
FLORIDA KEYS
The Lower Keys
Rental areas in the Florida Keys, from the mainland southwest: Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, the Lower Keys and Key West. Geometry from US Census TIGER/Line, public domain.
Key Largo →
The closest island to the mainland, Key Largo is known for its diving. It offers shallow coral reefs and deeper shipwrecks, great for both snorkeling and scuba diving.
55 rentals · from $85 · MIA 60–70 min
Islamorada →
Although it’s best for sport fishing, especially in the backcountry flats, a weekend stay typically won't work here. The village sets a seven-day minimum outside its tourist commercial district.
113 rentals · from $93 · MIA 90–100 min
Marathon →
In the middle of the keys, this is a good homebase if you want to explore both ends. Kids get the Turtle Hospital at MM 48.5 and the Dolphin Research Center at MM 59 on Grassy Key. Marathon’s code sets a seven-day minimum.
128 rentals · from $148 · EYW 60–70 min
The Lower Keys
Big Pine Key, Summerland Key, and Cudjoe Key sit past the Seven Mile Bridge, and more of their houses come with a dock than anywhere else in the chain. Key deer wander Big Pine, and boats run out to Looe Key, the reef named for a British frigate wrecked there in 1744.
EYW 40–45 min
Key West →
A walkable cultural area, Old Town has several attractions and nightlife, including the nightly sunset celebration at Mallory Square. Expect a condo or a cottage rather than a canal home.
71 rentals · from $133 · EYW 10–15 min

When to visit the Florida Keys

Winter is the Keys' busy season, and Fantasy Fest was invented in 1979 to liven up a quiet Key West October. Summer is the slower season, so you might find deals between June and August. No month here is cold, with Key West air highs running 75° in January and 90° in August.

Air and water temperatures are Key West's, but all areas are within 1° of each other by day. Key West's nights are 1–4° warmer than Key Largo's, and Marathon's January low is 56° against Key West's 65°. Winter water in the Atlantic runs the other way, with Key Largo about 3° warmer than Key West from January through March.

Planning a Florida Keys trip

Which airport depends on where you are going.

Miami is the shorter drive as far south as Tavernier, about 60 miles to Key Largo. From Layton down, Key West is closer, though it is a much smaller airport. Islamorada sits at the crossover, near enough the same either way.

Oceanside and bayside are directions, not amenities.

They tell you which side of the Overseas Highway a place sits on, the Atlantic or Florida Bay. A listing called beachfront may be a canal house with a dock at the seawall, so pay attention to the location on the map and ask the owner if you’re unsure.

Two roads in, one road after that.

US-1 comes down from Florida City on the 18-Mile Stretch, and Card Sound Road is the tolled alternative beside it. They meet in Key Largo, and everything south of there is US-1 alone, so a closure has no detour. The toll is electronic or billed by mail, never cash.

Much of the chain has a legal minimum stay.

Among the towns that set one, seven nights is the shortest. Key West works on licenses instead, so a licensed place there can rent for a night. Check the minimum on the listing and confirm it with the owner.


Florida Keys vacation rental FAQs

How much does a Florida Keys vacation rental cost?

+
The median Keys rental is $439 a night, which comes to about $2,975 for a week and $11,130 for a month. Tax adds 12.5% on any stay of six months or less, which is the county's own figure for what an overnight visitor pays. There is no booking fee on top of it, because you pay the owner rather than us.

What is the cheapest month to visit the Florida Keys?

+
September is the lowest at about $310 a night. Rates and demand both ease through the summer and into the fall. That stretch is Atlantic hurricane season, which runs June 1 to November 30 and peaks around September 10.

Which Key should I stay on?

+
Key Largo is the diving end and the quickest to reach from the mainland, while Islamorada next door is where the sport-fishing fleet ties up. Marathon splits the difference and puts both ends within an hour. The Lower Keys are docks, boats, and quiet nights. Key West is the walkable Key with more nightlife and culture.

Do you need a car in the Florida Keys?

+
Yes, a car is recommended to conveniently explore Florida Keys, though you can walk and bike in Key West. However, there is public transit across the Keys. Miami-Dade route 301 runs from Florida City into the Keys seven days a week and labels its stops by mile marker. The Lower Keys Shuttle carries on from Marathon to Key West with the transfer at MM 50. Some 301 runs stop short of Marathon, and the schedule ends up deciding your day.

Are the Florida Keys dog friendly?

+
There are plenty of dog-friendly vacation rentals with yards in the Florida Keys. Whether you can bring your dog out and about depends on the area. Florida's state parks don't allow pets. Monroe County's parks allow leashed dogs, and Marathon is pet-friendly on Sombrero Beach and Coco Plum Beach. Islamorada allows leashed dogs on Anne's Beach.

Are there real beaches in the Florida Keys?

+
There are a few, but they are not as prevalent as other areas in Florida. Bahia Honda State Park has three: Loggerhead and Sandspur on the Atlantic and Calusa on Florida Bay. Marathon has Sombrero Beach. Key West has Smathers, where the sand is free and the parking is metered. Fort Zachary Taylor is a state park and charges per vehicle. Everywhere else, waterfront means a canal, a channel or a dock.

Can I rent monthly or for a season in the Florida Keys?

+
Yes, and there are minimum-stay requirements in many areas of the Keys. Both Islamorada and Key West have strong monthly rental options. And if you stay longer than six months you are exempt from the county's 5% lodging tax.

What if I need to cancel my trip?

+
Because you book with the owner rather than with us, the cancellation policy is theirs, and it may vary from one listing to the next. Understand the policy before you book, and contact the owner directly with any questions.
