Keys vacation rentals — real math, not brochure promises.
Short-term rental rules in the Keys are a patchwork: Monroe County, Marathon, Key Colony Beach, Village of Islamorada, City of Key West all do it differently. Buying for income means starting with zoning — not square footage.
Zoning is step zero
If a subdivision isn't VR-permitted, no amount of marketing makes income happen. Always confirm with the jurisdiction before you write an offer.
Income ≠ cap rate
Gross nightly × nights rented is marketing. We model management fees, turnover, tax, insurance, and vacancy into real cash flow.
Buyer pool resale risk
VR-permitted properties sell to a smaller, income-focused buyer pool. That affects resale timing and pricing — especially when rates move.
