In the Keys, there are area specific rental licensing rules and restrictions for single family homes. The City of Key West is regulated differently than the rest of Unincorporated Monroe County. Condos and townhome complexes can also have their own rules and regulations! On this page, we focus on those short term condos and townhomes.

Key West vacation rentals come in three forms, weekly or daily rentals (one day rentals is called transient rentals) and monthly rentals, which have a minimum 28-day rental restriction. These three forms of rentals have different rental income and return on investment.
In order to have a transient or daily short-term rental in Key West, a property owner must have a City of Key West transient license. There is a finite supply of such licenses in Key West and the property itself must qualify for a transient license! Most properties are sold with those licenses, but occasionally a hard to get, and valuable license can come up for sale on the open market.
The occupancy rate for short term rentals in Key West is very high as there is demand for rentals all year in our tropical paradise! That makes Key West, the most vibrant city in the Keys, and an excellent investment opportunity. Rental rates have been steadily increasing over time, which along with property appreciation, makes for an excellent investment!
Each property below must be individually confirmed as to being a legally allowed short term vacation rentals through the City of Key West. Various by-laws may apply that may impact the ability to apply for and receive a vacation rental license. Regulations may change over time.
