Short-Term Rentals

Can I rent my Keys home as a short-term vacation rental?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

Short-term vacation rental regulations vary by municipality within the Florida Keys. Monroe County has specific rules, and individual cities like Key West, Islamorada, and Marathon each have their own ordinances governing rental periods and licensing.

It depends entirely on where the property is located. Some areas allow short-term rentals with a license, others require 28-day minimums. Before you buy with rental income in mind, verify the specific zoning and licensing requirements for that exact address.
