The Plantation was bigger and better than the pictures showed. Wonderful location relatively close to the beach, Duvall, and Mallory Streets. Most everything was within walking distance (but bring comfortable shoes). Only thing we needed at The Plantation was food and some toiletries. Having a full kitchen and grill made it inexpensive to eat. We only ate out 2 times the whole week we were there. I totally recommend The Plantation and the owner was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. 5 stars in my book!!!

This was our 2nd trip to Key West and the second time to rent from Al. The Plantation townhouse is located on a quiet street in the Truman Annex. It was spacious and well decorated for our family of six adults,You actually feel like you are a resident there not just vacationers. The landscaped patio and deck out back with the wet bar and frig provided a quiet place for afternoon happy hour. The colorful and beachy furnishings were well maintained and clean. We loved the upstairs patios off the bedrooms. There were plenty of additional kitchen supplies, flashlights, beach towels even a deck of cards to play. TV's in all bedrooms and living room were great! The location of the condo is within walking distance of bike rentals, The Green Parrot, Mallory Square and Fausto's Food Palace . Al's suggestions for dining and entertainment were great. Sunset at Ft. Zachary State Park is a bike ride away and a change from the Mallory Square commotion! I highly recommend renting from Al. This was a perfect family holiday!!!

On deciding to vacation in Key West for the second year in a row, we knew we wanted to stay in the Truman Annex again. We needed a bit more room than the place we stayed last year, so researched other units and fell in love with The Plantation - first "on paper", then in person. Al (the owner) was extremely easy to work with and went out of his way to answer questions and help make our arrangements. The unit itself was clean, spacious, well-equipped and made us feel at home. We will definitely stay here again if we have the chance to visit paradise soon!

I took my daughters on a "girls trip" to Key West and stayed at this home. It was lovely, in a wonderful location, clean and fresh. Located close to Duvall Street, but in a quiet neighborhood in Truman Annex, we were able to relax when we wanted, AND play among the tourists when we wanted. Al was very responsive and I would rent from him again, and would certainly recommend this place to anyone who asked.

On our 5th trip to beautiful Key West, we found the rental property of our dreams with this property! It's beautifully maintained, and is situated perfectly between Mallory Square and the entrance to the Ft. Zachary State Park Beach. All week we found additional features to delight us, from the fully stocked kitchen (including every spice you'd ever need) to the wet bar on the patio, right down to the coach with dual recliners! Our friends reported the murphy bed in the first floor bedroom was one of the most comfortable they'd ever experienced, and with 3 full baths we were all able to get ready for a night out in record time! We're looking forward to coming back in 2011, and hope you get a chance to experience THE PLANTATION in the meantime!

WE SPENT A WEEK AT THIS LOVELY RENTAL IN MAY. THE PROPERTY WAS A DESCRIBED--ONLY NICER, AND THE OWNER WAS MOST HELPFUL AND AVAILABLE TO SPEAK TO DURING OUR STAY--IF NEED BE. THE TRUMAN ANNEX IS A GREAT LOCATION---CLOSE TO SHOPPING, AND RESTAURANTS AND THE WHOLE DOWNTOWN AREA. YOU CAN PARK YOUR CAR AND WALK. GREAT, QUIET POOL! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT AND HOPE TO STAY THERE AGAIN NEXT YEAR. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS EARLY. THIS PROPERTY FILLS UP QUICKLY! ENJOY!

Great Home & Perfect Location

Truman Annex, the Plantation was an excellent town home within a gated community. There was plenty of room, the unit is well appointed, maintained and decorated. We had all the comforts of home, including the kitchen stocked with supplies & spices. Although we were here for a destination wedding and we eat out mostly, but it was good to know these items were there. Great location within walking to Duvall St activites - Favorites: Sloppy Joes for the food and drinks, Irish Kevin's Bar entertainment, Kelly's Caribbean Bar & Grill - patio area, & Mallory Square for the sunset. This was our home away from home! Thanks Al.

I just got back from a wonderful week in Key West with my entire family. We were in town for my cousin's destination wedding and rented three homes in the Truman Annex. Needless to say, our family was out our rental, the Plantation, every night. Well decorated, fully equipped kitchen and a grill ready to go with a quaint backyard perfect for letting the kids run around. Al was a pleasure to work with and provided us with helpful information about attractions and restaurants to visit before we left. I truly felt like it was our home away from home. We will be back to the Plantation!

Owner response:This is what it is all about, having fun in Key West. It is the first and last consideration Carol and I have when we decorate our Condo's and share them with guests who quickly become friends.
