Where we operate in Key West
We focus on the Key West neighbourhoods where premium short-stay demand actually clears: Old Town, Casa Marina, Truman Annex, Bahama Village, Mid Town, New Town. Each district has its own pricing curve, guest profile and minimum-stay logic — a one-size-fits-all calendar leaves money on the table.
If your residence sits outside these areas we'll still review it, but only onboard when we're confident we can deliver above-market RevPAR.
How we price Key West short-term rentals
The Dec – Apr + Fantasy Fest window does the heavy lifting in Key West, but the 18–32% ADR uplift our owners typically see comes from the shoulder months. We use a proprietary model that blends competitor pricing, booking-window pace, length-of-stay mix and event signals (Fantasy Fest, Hemingway Days, NYE Conch Drop) — re-running every 24 hours.
Minimum-stay rules flex by season: tighter in peak, relaxed in low-demand weeks to backfill gaps. The result is occupancy of around 82% blended across the year on a typical Key West portfolio property.
