Key Largo and Key West Neighborhood in Perdido Key, Florida: Boat Slips, Short-Term Rentals, and Walkable Flora-Bama Access
I’m Meredith Folger Amon, and when buyers ask me for a true “rare combo” investment pocket on the coast, I bring up the Key Largo and Key West neighborhood in Perdido Key, Florida. This is a small, gated cluster of single-family homes sitting right at the Alabama/Florida state line, steps from the Flora-Bama, with Old River behind you and the Gulf of America just across the road.

Where is the Key Largo / Key West neighborhood in Perdido Key
This neighborhood sits on Key Largo Place in Perdido Key (Escambia County, Florida), essentially hugging the state line. You’re in a cul-de-sac-style, low-density, gated setting with water views and quick access in every direction: the Flora-Bama entertainment corridor, Old River, and the Gulf of America.
When I describe it to buyers, I keep it simple: walk to live music and dinner, launch into boat days in minutes, then be back at your place without crossing the bridge or getting stuck in traffic.
- Flora-Bama and the Flora-Bama Yacht Club
- Old River (Ole River) boating access
- Spanish Key Beach Resort and the Key Harbor area

- Gated, small neighborhood footprint
- Short-term rental friendly positioning (verify current local rules and HOA documents)
- Community docks with boat slips; some homes are marketed with private assigned slips and lifts
- Walkable to food, entertainment, and the beach
I explain this neighborhood as “a lifestyle and logistics win,” which is exactly what short-term rental guests pay for.
Short-term rentals plus a boat slip plus walk-to-Flora-Bama convenience is a rare combination on the coast, and that scarcity is the story I tell.

Why investors love Key Largo / Key West
From an investment standpoint, this neighborhood checks boxes that are difficult to find in one place:
- Walkability to a major destination (Flora-Bama is a magnet year-round).
- Boating appeal with slips on the community docks and quick access to Old River and Gulf routes.
- Single-family home feel with parking and storage that condo buyers often miss.
- Rental flexibility that is often referenced in marketing for the neighborhood (always confirm current regulations and HOA governance during due diligence).
On my site, I also point buyers to broader market search tools so they can compare inventory and pricing in real time: www.searchthegulf.com.
Boat slips and the dock lifestyle
Boat slips are a core value driver here. Homes in this neighborhood are commonly marketed with access to the HOA docks, and some are promoted with an assigned slip and lift. I have seen marketing that suggests slips can accommodate boats up to roughly the low-30-foot range, depending on slip assignment and configuration, which is why I treat slip verification as a first-step item.
- Confirm slip assignment in writing (numbered slip, rights of use, guest policies)
- Verify lift capacity, power, and condition
- Confirm draft and tide considerations for the approach
- Ask about dock utilities (water, shore power) and maintenance responsibility
- Confirm insurance requirements for owners and renters using the docks

Buying guide: how I advise buyers in this neighborhood
Because the value is tied to use and flexibility, I approach Key Largo / Key West purchases with a structured due diligence plan:
- Rental rules: Confirm current short-term rental allowances through local ordinances, licensing requirements, and HOA documents.
- Insurance and storm readiness: Validate wind coverage, flood requirements, and any claim history disclosures.
- HOA details: Review dues, what’s included, and any planned dock or gate maintenance.
- Boat slip documentation: Treat it like a separate asset with its own verification steps.
- Walkability reality check: I map the actual route to the beach access, dining, and the Yacht Club so expectations match reality.
If you want me to run a clean comparison of available homes and recent sales patterns, I’ll pull it from the live market and walk you through a pricing strategy that reflects rental potential, boating features, and condition.
Selling guide: how I position Key Largo / Key West to the right buyer
When I market a home in this neighborhood, I lead with the three differentiators that move the needle:
- Destination proximity: steps to Flora-Bama and the Yacht Club lifestyle.
- Water access and dock rights: slip details presented clearly and confidently.
- Short-term rental opportunity: framed responsibly with verification guidance and practical next steps.
