Florida Keys Vacation Rentals & House Rentals - 128 Rentals Available

While all the Florida Keys serve up a high dose of tropical leisure, each has its own personality and flavor. The Florida Keys are a wonderful vacation spot for families in search of a little relaxation or adventure. Enjoy Key Largo’s reputation as the dive capital of the world; Islamorada’s spectacular fishing; Marathon’s family friendly beaches; Big Pine Key and the Lower Keys' slowed pace and natural playground; and the unforgettable Key West, the Southernmost city in the continental U.S. and playground to Presidents, authors, and a number of bon vivants. And each has it's own unique offering of Florida Keys oceanfront vacation rentals to choose from. For families visiting the Florida Keys, vacation rentals by owner offer the maximum amount of space and privacy for the price.

Things to Do

Decide what sorts of fun in the sun you enjoy best and there’s a Key for that. If sports fishing and boating interests you, spend some time on Islamorada and take a dip in the Gulf Stream. If you wonder what inspired one of America’s top writers, don’t miss Key West and the historic Hemingway House. While you’re there, check out the descendants of his famous six-toed cats. No matter which Key you choose, the water is a draw around all of them. The crystalline blue surrounding these islands makes a drive up Highway 1 a spectacular way to spend some time, particularly if you’re in a convertible.

​The Keys have plenty of fun things to do for every activity level. Families who enjoy the outdoors can take advantage of the wide availability of Florida Keys condo rentals and stay right on the beach!

• Fishing enthusiasts visiting the Florida Keys will be very excited to hear that Islamorada is known as the sport fishing capital of the world, offering a variety of game fish.
• Water sports are also very popular in the Keys. Hang gliding, parasailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding are great choices for adventurous families.
• Swimming with dolphins is a unique experience that every tourist of the Florida Keys should try! Through Dolphins Plus in Key Largo, visitors can go on a structured or natural swim with the dolphins or visit the sea lions through the Sea Lion Encounters program. In Islamorada, Theater of the Sea offers a wonderful opportunity to swim with dolphins, sea lions, and rays. Kids will have a blast learning about these delightful creatures.

Climate

The weather is warm for much of the year, but the balmy Caribbean breezes make it comfortable along the beaches even in summer. The highest temp ever recorded in the Keys was 97 F (36 C) back in 1880, but the summer average high is 89 F. Mosquitos like the Keys too, so keep this in mind on your visit. The highest potential for hurricanes in this part of Florida is from August 15-October 15 when waters are warmest, but it’s also a time of some of the most beautiful weather and one of the most affordable times to visit.

Shopping 

While there are shops on all the Keys, Key West provides the largest number of stores and boutiques. From literary memorabilia to craft beer, Key West offers some of the most memorable shopping of these tropical hot spots.

Events

The Keys offer a number of fishing tournaments throughout the year, not only for sport but to keep certain populations under control, especially the pervasive lion fish. Don’t miss the annual Hemingway look-alike contest in July or Key West’s annual Halloween celebration, Fantasy Fest. If you go, leave the kids at home.  

Nightlife

Nightlife or daylife, you’re on Island time here, and there’s always a party to be found, particularly in Key West. When people say “It’s 5:00 somewhere,” that somewhere is the Keys. Just ask Jimmy Buffet who is sometimes spotted in Key West, where he opened his first Margaritaville store in the mid-80s. Most of the hot bars are within walking distance on Duvall Street, making it a favorite of those looking for a party.
