Florianópolis is one of the capitals with the most expensive rent in Brazil. The average rental cost is about R$ 54.97 per square meter per month — above the national average — which puts a 50 m² apartment around R$ 3,270. In practice, furnished short- and medium-term apartments typically range between R$ 2,500 and R$ 4,500 per month. One-bedroom properties in central areas usually cost between R$ 2,000 and R$ 3,000, with furnished studios starting around R$ 2,050, while units with 3 or more bedrooms start at about R$ 4,500 and exceed R$ 10,000 in upscale areas like Jurerê Internacional or in penthouses at Beira-Mar Norte.

It depends on your reason for moving, because Floripa combines the beaches of Ilha da Magia with mainland neighborhoods, where prices are more affordable and professional life thrives with tech companies. The most valued neighborhoods in the city are Centro, Agronômica, and Trindade. For those who prioritize convenience and mobility, Centro and the Beira-Mar Norte area are unbeatable. For the tech sector and those studying at UFSC, Trindade and Agronômica are strategic. Those seeking a lifestyle close to the sea often choose Lagoa da Conceição and Campeche, the latter a well-known hub for digital nomads, while Jurerê Internacional is the upscale option.

As one of Brazil's top tourist destinations, Floripa is dominated by short-term rental platforms that charge high daily rates, cleaning fees, and service charges — which also skyrocket during peak season. Shortstay offers a formal furnished rental contract in Florianópolis with a fixed monthly rate, no extra fees, no charges for additional guests, and the possibility of registering a tax address at the location. It's the right choice for those staying 30 days or more who need contract stability.

Yes. All Shortstay apartments in Florianópolis are equipped for home office, with a work desk, ergonomic chair, high-speed fiber optic internet, and proper lighting for video calls. The properties are located in buildings with good signal coverage and many feature internal coworking spaces, meeting rooms, and shared areas — something especially valued in one of the cities with the highest concentration of technology professionals and digital nomads in the country.

We recommend booking 15 to 30 days in advance, and even earlier for the summer high season (December to March), when the demand for furnished properties directly competes with tourism and prices rise significantly. There are also peaks at the beginning of the UFSC school year and throughout the year due to relocations in the tech sector, which keep the market active even outside the beach season.

Yes, Shortstay accepts pets in most furnished apartments in Florianópolis. Small and medium-sized dogs and cats are welcome, subject to condominium approval. The city is one of the most pet-friendly for owners in the country, with the Beira-Mar Norte waterfront, Coqueiros Park, trails, and several beaches and lagoons for walks, as well as pet shops and 24-hour veterinary clinics spread across the island and the mainland.
