Why the Owner Chose Truman Annex
I was visiting a friend who's parents married during WWII in Key West. It only took one visit and the second day of that visit to know that Key West was a special place and where I wanted to spend time
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Everything is within walking distance. You get great exercise without even feeling like it. A stroll down Duval is 1 mile each way, a walk to the Historic Waterfront and strolling back can be a couple miles, walk 4 blocks to Kelly's on the way to Mallory Square for Happy Hour. The list goes on and on. I take a car but I bet I do not put 50 miles on it the entire winter unless I am going to No Name Pub on Big Pine Key.

Paradise Lost Great Get-Away

The listing description was accurate and the property was exactly as pictured. The unit was clean and well maintained; the kitchen is stocked with casseroles, pots, pans, glassware, dishes, etc. for those times when cooking within the condo is preferred. The large lanai was comfortable and private. We especially appreciated the owner's prompt responses to all of our questions and his suggetions of places to eat and see were "right on point." We would recommend this condo to anyone who is looking to be within walking distance of all of Old Town Key West with the added benefit of security and quietness during the evening hours. (Keep your windows closed if you don't want an automatic morning alarm from the roosters - an authentic aspect of the K.W. experience!)

Paradise Lost didn't disappoint! My mom & I try to get to Key West every couple of years for some together time and while we've stayed in a few places, this condo was absolutely perfect. It's such a great location within the Annex and close to everything we needed - restaurants, shopping, sight seeing/local interest spots, late night music & bars, and even the market for supplies. The Annex is a huge complex, but Paradise Lost is just 2 blocks off Duval, and we could walk to everything - from the Southern Most Point to the sunset at Mallory Square. I absolutely love Key West, so finding a spot that's in the middle of everything it has to offer was just perfect - and coffee in the morning on the patio was very much paradise!! Wouldn't rent anywhere else, thanks Al - we look forward to coming back!! The New Hampshire Girls

Our stay was outstanding! The unit is clean, well equipped and in an excellent location. Morning coffee on the back deck was a great way to start the day as was an occasional cup on the front porch watching the world passing by. Pretty much everything is within walking distance - the beach at the state park, the raw bars at the marina, the Duval Street and Mallory Square activities and the many Key West historical sites. The area has much to offer - weather, culture, history and nature - and this condo makes for a great place to soak in the Key West life!

We stayed at this condo the week of Thanksgiving-Saturday to Saturday. There were 3 of us and this condo and location were absolutely perfect! The condo is super clean and perfect for 3-4 people. We flew into Ft Lauderdale, rented a car and drove down Saturday. We turned in the rental car on Sunday and picked it up again the Friday before we left. You really dont need a car while in Key West. The location is the best. We were right by the guard shack in the Truman Annex which was nice for security reasons obviously. We were two blocks from Duval and literally less than 10 minutes away from the Fort Zachary Beach/Fort via bikes. The bike rental place was on the same street and just on the other side of Duval. Renting bikes was great as we didnt have to feel guilty about all the good food we were eating while on vacation. The kitchen was great for our stay. We made breakfast each morning (except for one) and had snacks during the week. Al (the owner) provides really helpful and wonderful suggestions on where to eat, things to do and see. We kept those print outs handy all during our stay. We hit several things on his lists and want to thank him for everything. He is always available if needed...another nice touch. I had to share our wonderful experience in case someone else is looking for a great place to stay and enjoy Key West. Paradise Lost was and is perfect for the quiet, safe, clean, convenient and memorable stay.

We just got back from our stay at this condo, May 2011. It was prefect! Al was very nice and helped with his lists of things to do while we stayed in Key West. The condo was so nice and clean. We had 6 adults for part of the week stay and we managed relatively good with all of us space wise. Would proably recommend 4 adults for this one. The outside grounds where always being worked on while we were there and everything was so pretty. It was wonderful to be able to eat out on the back patio for serveral meals. Everything you need is in the kitchen it was fully equiped. Loved to grab a cup of coffee in the morning and just enjoy the outside area. We used the pool once while we where there it was nice and not over crowded with people. One of the best things is the condo is close to everything, within walking distance but you can get away from all the action and it is very peaceful in the condo. We ate out serveral times and enjoyed several of the recommendations Al gave on his lists. The lobster benedict was really good. I would highly recommend the condo for a nice place to stay in Key West. Al is great and we had a blast!

Our second home

We are a French family and come each year to Key West. This is our third stay in a row in this condo. We really love the design, space, atmosphere of this place. We felt home the minute we walked in the very first time! Al, the owner and now our friend -, does an outstanding job in maintaining the condo clean and in an excellent shape (it has just been freshly repainted) and making your stay a special experience. The condo has two bathrooms which makes it really comfortable for our family with 2 teenagers! Only a few condos in Truman Annex have two bathrooms. The condo is very well located in Truman Annex, a few minutes walk from Duval Street, a few minutes drive from Fort Zachary Taylor Beach and Park. It is just the perfect place! Thanks again Al!

What a great place to stay in Key West! Truman Annex is close to everything yet quiet and secure. The condo was really nice... clean, comfortable and with all the amenities. It was perfect for our party of four. We travel quite a bit and have stayed in many vrbo accommodations - I would say this was one of the nicest. Plus Al is great... helpful in every way but not intruding. He even picked us up at the airport!! His lists of places to see and restaurants to visit were top notch. Too bad we couldn't go to all of them! Our vacation was really wonderful and this place was one of the reasons!

Al's property was very very clean. The Truman complex is very secure. Close to Everything. We used a bike to get around but could have definitely walked everywhere. The views are spectacular and the condo had every amenity that we needed. Very easy and fun vacation for four adults(our party number). We look forward to our next trip.

This condo was a wonderful place to stay and experience Key West. It was spotless and beautifully located close to Duval Street and Ft. Zachary State Park.... We experienced Sunset at the State Park which we enjoyed much more than Mallory Square....Al's list of places helped us see and do all we needed to while we were there. The covered patio out back was private and with ceiling fans a perfect place to sit and relax. I look forward to returning to this condo.
