Maybe it’s the salty air, the pastel porches, the wandering roosters, or the way time seems to stretch just a little differently here. Either way, one thing’s for sure: a weekend simply isn’t enough.

Key West isn’t the kind of place you visit once—it’s the kind of place that lingers with you long after your flip-flops have touched down back home. That’s why we’re sharing a curated list of Key West Airbnbs made for month-long stays—the kind of homes that invite you to unpack fully, sink into a slower pace, and live like you’ve always belonged on island time. 

If you’re looking for creative inspiration, a remote work change of scenery, or just the luxury of staying somewhere long enough to learn your neighbors’ names, then these homes are the perfect excuse to take it easy for a while.

Let’s find your new favorite place that you will never want to leave, and things to do while in Key West.

Why Staying in Key West for a Month Is Totally Worth It

Sure, a weekend in Key West is fun—but give yourself 28+ days here and you’ll unlock a whole new level of island living! Here’s why a longer stay isn’t just worth it—but it’s the move:

1. You actually get to slow down.
No rushing to cram it all in and make mistakes. You’ll have time to explore the beaches, brunch spots, galleries, and hidden gems without the pressure of a check-out clock ticking.

2. You’ll feel like a local.
After a few days, you’ll have your go-to coffee shop, your favorite bar stool on Duval, and a go-to order at the taco stand down the block.

3. Space to live, work, and recharge.
These homes are built for real life—cook in a full kitchen, catch up on remote work, and relax in your own private outdoor space. It’s comfort and freedom!

4. You can truly unplug (or not).
Want to disconnect and read three novels? Do it. Want to take a meeting by the pool and call it “work-life balance”? We love that for you.

5. The longer you stay, the more it feels like home.
By week two, the island will for sure feel familiar. By week four, you’ll be wondering how to extend your stay.

So yes—Key West is the perfect place to escape. But when you stay a little longer? It becomes the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to, year after year. Our loyal guests swear on that!
