  We enjoyed staying at Truman Annex. The condo was so comfortable and we felt right at home! You and your wife have done a wonderful job outfitting the condo with every thing that is needed for an extended stay. I was especially impressed with the tropical decor! Having a washer and dryer in the condo was an added bonus. Next time we will not have to bring as many clothes with us. Our neighbors were also staying at Truman Annex the same week as my husband and I. Their condo was not as large as ours and they did not have a deck with table and chairs as we did. Needless to say, we had happy hour at our condo! We felt that the proximity to Mallory Square and Duval Street was just right. We were close but we also had to do some walking. It was our first visit to Key West and we were not sure what to expect. We enjoyed ourselves so much we plan on returning in 2014!

  We had a wonderful time staying at Paradise Lost. It is in a great location, close to restaurants, bars, and tourist activities. Everything we needed was provided and we especially enjoyed the private deck for morning coffee. We will stay there again

  Had a great time, best location right by main gate and guard house ,pull up unload and you are ready to have fun. The parking space in the private lot is only 100 steps from the condo. Green Parrot 1 block Duval 2 blks everything was perfect. The Roosters and hens were a hoot you have to befriend them as we did they all have names now lol Fred,Wilma ,Barney and sometimes Mr. Slade you will know who is who, Fred is the king lol. There is also a sweet Siamese cat we fed as did more people in the area we called her Boo. Just a great relaxing place to be and We will be back Al . Just a note that you can get the telephone numbers from any of the Pedicab drivers and call them anytime to pick you up from the condo and take you anywhere or bring you back at night if you don't feel like walking condo to Mallory Square is $8.00 for 2 ,not bad at all. Just as Al stated the electric cars and scooters and bikes are for rent right across from the Green Parrot and they do have the best prices we checked them all. The only problem we had was Tropical storm Debbie but everyone down there did also, rain or shine you still go out. Again thanks Al and I'll be in touch.

  What a wonderful home base for our week in Key West. Everything about Paradise lost was just perfect. We loved the location - Nestled in tropical luxury at the gates of The Truman Annex you'll find Paradise lost - just 2 blocks off Duval Street and 2 blocks from the water where you can sit and enjoy "private" sunsets...just in case you don't want to be in the masses at the Sunset Celebration every night. The amenities are great - we had everything we needed and wanted. Comfy, clean furniture and linens, comfy beds and lots of fresh clean towels. The washer and dryer was a big plus. The kitchen was just perfect for a vacation kitchen and it had everything we needed. I cannot think of anything you would want that Paradise Lost does not have. ps - and Al, the owner, is pretty great too!

  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!
