Why Summer and Fall Are the Perfect Time to Stay a Month in Key West

There’s something magical about a quiet Key West summer and fall. The island exhales. The streets are a little less busy. The breeze through the palms feels just a little sweeter.

At Historic Key West Vacation Rentals, we believe travel should go deeper than just getting away. It should give you space — to breathe, to reconnect, and to rediscover what matters most. That’s why we’re inviting guests to stay a little longer this season.

A month gives you more than time. It gives you perspective. You start to know your neighbors. You find your favorite lunch spot. You learn when the sunlight hits your porch just right.

Unlike typical resort experiences, our homes are real — historic properties that have been lovingly restored. Each one tells a story. From cigar-maker cottages to grand conch homes, they reflect the island’s unique character and charm.

During the summer and fall, the island slows down in the best way. The warm air invites you outside, porches creak with history, and sunsets seem to linger a little longer. It’s the ideal time to trade a week long vacation for a full month of island living.

Ten Thoughtful Reasons to Stay a Month with Historic Key West Vacation Rentals:

  • A Home with a Past: Sleep in a 19th-century cottage where the craftsmanship still shows.
  • Space to Breathe: More time means less rush.
  • Exceptional Value: Many homes offer a month for the cost of just two weeks elsewhere.
  • Real Work-Life Balance: Wi-Fi that works and inspiring nooks.
  • A Walkable, Historic Neighborhood: Old Town’s tree-lined streets become your new daily backdrop.
  • Locally Managed and Deeply Invested: We’re not a listing site; we’re your hosts.
  • Pet-Friendly, People-Welcoming: Bring every family member, including pets.
  • Live the Rhythm of the Island: When you stay longer, you stop chasing moments and start living them.
  • Carefully Chosen Comfort: Thoughtful touches make every stay feel effortless.
  • A Story You’ll Never Forget: Turn your vacation into a new chapter.

With direct flights from New York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, and more, the journey is simple — and the reward is immeasurable.
