Want to get out on the beautiful waters surrounding Key West? The Florida Keys are home to the only living coral reef system in the United States and the third largest in the world. Sea Monkey Ocean Adventures offers private trips to snorkel at the reef, cruise around Key West, visit a sandbar, or enjoy a sunset cruise.... or any combination of activities. We offer $150 off our half day charter with a booking. See our website at seamonkeyoceanadventures.com or inquire for questions.

Please inquire if you have questions about Key West Monthly Vacation rentals. City ordinance requires monthly rentals on most homes, though you can stay for a shorter period if you like. It is often more economical to rent a house for a month than a hotel for a week or two. You have more space, the ability to cook in, and space for family and friends to visit during your stay and share the cost.

REVIEWS AND EXPERIENCE: I have been managing my own vacation properties for 15 years. Although this is a new property for me, please see my vrbo listings 2333364 and 2038745 for my 5 star reviews and rating as an owner and manager. I am a Premier Host with a 5 star rating and take great pride in my homes as this is my livelihood.

COVID 19: If Highway 1 to Key West becomes closed or if rentals become disallowed during your scheduled stay, you will be refunded 100% if you must cancel.

Peace in Paradise
Our stay was amazing from the moment we booked. Marla answered every question and need before and after our booking. Her timeliness in answering our needs was amazing. Her place is located at the heart of key west and within walking distance of everything. Great living space and nice lounging are in the back to enjoy some beverages and grill some burgers or steaks! Overall amazing stay, location and host!

When you offer SIX STARS, let us know!
We booked this property based on dates available, the description and the photos. Turns out that the description and pics do not do this property the justice it deserves. This is our 13th year to spend October/November in KW and this was hands down the winner of the cleanliness and best decorated award for us! (I only include that because we’ve had more than our share of pooches) Very cute! Everything you’ll possibly need in neatly stored. Nice TV’s and furniture. Outside rear deck is very nice. Very close to Groceries at Fausto’s, World Famous Sandy’s Cafe (great takeout breakfast and burgers) and walking distance to CVS. We walked every day to Duval St and/or Southernmost Point. There’s a Sandy’s food truck at Southernmost along with some really cute little bars. (Try Tipsey Rooster) If you have any needs, Marla is all over it! Great communication within mere minutes. We’d book this again in a heartbeat! Great stay!

Perfect VRBO and Perfect Location.
First time in Key West and staying at a VRBO. Marla, the host was awesome. Prior to booking I had a few questions and Marla got back to me. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Also, this was a great location to get to everywhere we wanted to go in Key West. I would rent this VRBO again in a second.
