Florida Keys Rentals By Owner
Located at the Southernmost tip of the United States, the Florida Keys are a conglomeration of islands offering a laid back lifestyle full of sunny days, beautiful beaches and cool blue ocean waters. The Keys in Florida are communities full of contrast and beauty. It’s hard to believe that such a tropical place exists in the United States. Here, travelers will find tranquil palm trees and sandy beaches alongside historic landmarks, restaurants to tempt every palate, and nightlife teeming with reckless abandon. Keys rentals are as varied as the residents. From hotels to bed and breakfasts to private homes, the choice is yours for Keys vacation rentals.
A Florida Keys map shows U.S. Highway 1, also called the "Overseas Highway," as the main and often only artery connecting the FL Keys. Much of the Keys are also accessible by boat, fishing Keys is both a popular vacation pastime and a primary source of income for many residents.
Just 94 miles from Cuba, Key West, or The Conch Republic, as it’s often called with a smile, is a bustling port for cruise ships from around the world, yet still a laid back beach town with a distinctly off-beat attitude. Popular attractions include landmark Key West Florida restaurants and bars down Duval Street, tours of the Ernest Hemingway museum and home, water pursuits of every type including snorkeling, fishing, and scuba diving, pirate tours, and of course the nightly sunset celebration in Mallory Square, where tourists and locals mix and mingle while celebrating the day in their own unique way. You never know who you might run into in Key West – rumor has it that Jimmy Buffett’s been known to hop onstage at his restaurant for an impromptu set or two. Just remember to watch for the roving chickens as you’re wandering the streets – they don’t always adopt that island attitude.
