Book your Key West winter escape now and work from paradise for a month


Each year when the snow begins to fall and daylight disappears before dinner, there are those who wistfully dream of warm ocean breezes, sunshine and sand between their toes.

But by then it’s really too late to do anything meaningful to change those circumstances.

That’s why it’s important to stay ahead of Old Man Winter. Yes, summer is the perfect time to begin planning a work-from-paradise escape to Key West. Whether you’re a remote professional wanting to escape the rat race, a couple seeking a break from the cold, or a snowbird craving a change of scenery, December through April is prime time to experience the charm and warmth of the island.

With strong Wi-Fi, comfortable workspaces, and inspirational locations near beaches, culture and cafés, our historic homes offer everything you need to make a month in Key West feel like home. This is the ultimate work-from-paradise destination—and Historic Key West Vacation Rentals has the perfect home for your extended stay.

But you must act soon. Planning a winter month in a tropical wonderland is not a new idea, and competition is fierce for a place in the sun.

‘Key’ reasons why winter rules

  • Unbeatable weather: Say goodbye to icy commutes and hello to sunny days, balmy breezes, and comfortable temps perfect for bike rides, beach days, and outdoor dining.
  • Peak island life: From art festivals to open-air concerts, the island is buzzing this time of year—but never overwhelming. You’ll find the perfect balance of energy and relaxation.
  • Extended stay perks: When you stay for a month, you truly get to experience the island’s rhythm. Shop local markets, attend community events, and explore every hidden corner of Old Town.
  • Remote-work ready: Our properties offer Wi-Fi and serene surroundings that help you stay productive while enjoying island life on your breaks.
  • More than just a vacation: With longer stays, you’ll have time to truly settle in. Explore historic neighborhoods, get to know your favorite bartenders, and wake up each day with no rush, no snow, and no stress.
  • The island lifestyle: Take a conference call from the porch. End the day with a paddleboard session. Grab lunch at a Cuban café. Living like a local in Key West is not just fun—it’s good for the soul.
