Extend the summer magic with a carefree month of island rhythms

August doesn’t get enough credit in travel conversations — but in Key West, it’s one of the most rewarding months to visit. The island settles into a relaxed rhythm, the water is at its warmest, and the atmosphere feels less like a tourist destination and takes on a more local vibe.

Add to this, the island’s natural beauty, vibrant celebrations, and lively events calendar, and an August extended stay begins to look like the ideal end-of-summer ticket.

 Rather than squeezing experiences into a fleeting short trip, Historic Key West Vacation Rentals invites you to truly live the island life this August. Enjoy the luxury of strolling to morning cafés, swimming in turquoise waters whenever you like, and exploring every corner of charming Old Town.

  Following are some of our favorite featured properties to prompt your search for the ideal Historic Key West Vacation Rentals property this August.

  • The Escape at Sunset Key: Craving coastal breezes, sunset views and true island living? The Escape at Sunset Key is a standout choice for an extended stay. This spacious monthly rental is just a five-minute ferry ride from the main island, and gives you private access to serene waterfront living, while situated just a short bike ride from bustling Duval Street and all the island’s local hotspots. This lovely 2BR, 3BA home on the small private island Sunset Key is what tropical dreams are made of. Here, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds.
  • Tropical Dream: Just a short stroll from Duval Street or the Marina, the spacious Tropical Dream is a glorious 4BR, 4.5BA two-story home with room for eight guests. Lose yourself out back, where you’ll enjoy cocktails in a small sitting pool that spills into the larger private swimming pool. Cook up something special and dine alfresco on the deck, or make your way via a short walk to one of the many restaurants nearby. Along the way, you’ll pass some of Key West’s most distinguished historic homes along Millionaire’s Row, as well as several shops and galleries.

Celebrate Lobsterfest (Aug. 5–9)

Billed as the island’s biggest, tastiest summer celebration, Lobsterfest is a highlight of the Key West August calendar. The five-day event celebrating the opening of the Florida spiny lobster season kicks off with a lobster boil and a massive street fair along Duval Street. It includes an impressive array of culinary events, cook-offs, tastings, and family fun. Many locals and visitors plan their calendars around this festival — one that blends seafood culture with island hospitality for a taste experience like no other. And with your month-long Historic Key West Vacation Rentals stay, you’ll be marking your own calendar and enjoying all the fun and flavors of Key West this August.

Consider: a daily morning beach walk, an afternoon beach snorkel, cocktail hour at sunset, weekly farmers markets, and dinners exploring local hidden gems around town.
