Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury Truman Annex Condo - Walk to Beach/Duval St.
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Truman Annex
We had been to Key West several times and stayed all over the island. But when we visited the
shipyard condos in the Truman Annex, we knew this was the perfect spot. No more driving and searching for parking places, now we can walk or bike to everywhere we want to go -- activities, beaches, night life, exploring history, or just sit quietly doing nothing.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our home has a floor plan that is shared with only 2 other units in the Shipyard -- with these large porches front and rear. Both bedrooms have french doors that open onto the porch, and the living area has two more, that flood our home with natural light. We've tried to stock our place with everything we (and you too) would need for week in paradise. And we have very professional and attentive property managers who are as concerned as we are that your stay is relaxed and trouble free.
The southernmost point in the continental US. Closter to Havana than Miami.
Home to 24-hour night life, good restaurants and even better people watching.
Owner's Map of Truman Annex
We've traveled a lot, always looking for that special place that had everything we were looking for: Tropical climate, Adventure activities, Night life, Beaches, history, beautiful homes and surroundings, and easy to get to. We we found it all in Key West, and knew this was a place we could come back to again & again.

We stayed at Steve and Karla's in Mar '11 and had a wonderful time. We have 2 young children and everything about the apt made our vacation easy breezy. The layout is great and makes napping kids easy while parents relax on the balconies with a drink. Everything else in the apt has been well thought out and it has everything you need from the basics to beach towels to corkscrews and colanders (and a washer/dryer)! The location is fantastic and so convenient to pop down to Blue Heaven or the French crepe place for breakfast and then to the beach or pool. The only downside is the attitudes of the older residents when at the pool. They were definitely NOT pleased to have children sharing the pool. We never heard a complaint directly but you got the sense they would rather not have kids there...luckily we weren't the only ones with kids so they would usually just exit the pool as soon as they saw kids coming (and mutter under their breathe). Other than that it was glorious and we're already planning a trip back. Thanks again Steve and Karla
Owner response:Thanks Lili, hope to see you back soon!

This was one of the best vacations (other than being on a cruise) that I have ever had. The condo was located within walking distance of 99% of the activities we chose to do. Although we knew there were many other people staying where we were, we hardly saw or heard them at all. The condo was very clean, cozy and cool. It contained most all of the amenities we have at home. We would definitely stay there again.

The home was great — even bigger than the pictures made it look, with two huge balconies facing either side of the building. The beds were comfortable, the living room spacious, and a few extra New Year's touches (a bottle of champagne, noisemakers, etc) made it even more special. The location was as close to the Zachary Taylor beach as you can get, and just steps to all the action on Bourbon Street.

My husband and I just returned from our wonderful vacation in Key West. It was our first time visiting, and I did lots of research on where to stay prior to our departure. We all know how important it is to stay somewhere clean and nice on vacation, and being a Realtor myself, I'm extremely picky. Well, if you are traveling to Key West, you NEED to stay here. What a beautiful place! What you see in the pictures, is exactly what you get. Even though we rented a car because we drove down from Miami, a car is absolutely not necessary. Everthing that you could possibly want is within walking distance. The condo was extremely clean, beautifully updated and had everything we could possibly need. The complex was surprisingly quiet (because it is so close to everything) and we really enjoyed the private balconies. BUT, all you need to do is walk one block up, and you are in the middle of it all. Libby from the Management company was a pleasure to deal with during the standard conversations about the lease, etc....We will definately be back, it was worth every penny! Thanks to the owners Steve and his wife for sharing their special paradise!
Owner response:Thank you Susan. We and our management company work hard to keep our home in top condition, and we're happy we helped contribute to your Key West vacation.

Our stay at the Shipyard Treasure was fantastic! The location couldn't have been better. The lovely online pictures don't do it justice as the general atmosphere is what makes this place even more wonderful.

A very comfortable and convenient location. Could walk to all old town locations. Rental was a bit pricey, but then all of Key West is expensive.

We enjoyed our stay so much that my husband is already planning as to how soon we can return. The condo was just beautiful, even better than the pictures. It was clean, quiet and well maintained. The front porch was great for rooster watching every morning and the back porch was like a tropical oasis! We plan on telling all our friends and family about this place, hoping they will invite us along! You could walk everywhere, we weren't in the car all week. Truly our best vacation yet.
Owner response:Thank you so much for the kind words. Come back soon!

Easy to walk to most everything, although I think next time we'll rent bikes too! Only used the car a couple of times. We had all our breakfasts at "home" and saved tons of $$. Loved sitting on the deck and reading and soaking up the sun. Easy walking to all the fun stuff that KW has to offer. Pool was nice. I'm a beach person, so I spent some quality time at Ft Zach basking. Sunny and 75, we didn't want to leave! Loved being able to watch TV or DVD's in the eves. Would love to come down again sometime. quiet area (even with the roosters crowing), felt very safe.

Oh my goodness!!! Our stay in Key West was nothing but fantastic!! Shipyard Treasure was awesome! Everything we needed and then some was already there waiting for us. I was totally amazed, as were the rest of my friends, when we saw 4 beach chairs in the closet. We used the chairs which were great on their own, but with the backpack included, even better. There were so many fantastic parts to the vacation and Shipyard Treasure that it would take forever to list. Let's just suffice it to say, we would all come back to Shipyard Treasure on our return trips to Key West!

Sweet little condo. The beds were very comfortable, but the sofa bed was not. Oldest son ended up just sleeping on the sofa. Great location. We rented bikes and rode all over the island, but could have walked to all the major points including Fort Zachary Taylor. The air condintioning worked well - which was vital that time of year. I would stay here again.
