We had an awesome stay here and were very comfortable with all the required necessities. Truman Annex is our favorite location/community to stay in as it is close to everything including Fort Zach, Sunset Pier, Mallory Square and of course the Duval Street area. We biked somewhere every day on the two included bicycles. We highly recommend staying here.

This place is both quitely tucked away, and in the middle of the action of Key West. Everthing you need to stay awhile is available, and getting grocerices nearby is easy breezy. Pool is nice and refreshing after day activies. A balcony that lets you enjoy the weather and watch all the roosters, hens, and biddies make their way around the palms. Fans ceilings that give the cool moving air in every room. Charming photos and discoveries by the owners adorn the wall and cubbies of this cozy paradise.

Great location and space!

Great location within walking distance to Duvall street, but far enough away to be quiet. We loved that bikes were included and used those to bike around the island. Everything was very clean and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone coming to Key West.

This is our 5th time staying at this property, and it was great, as always. The location is perfect. The property is clean and comfortable. And the owner, Jean, and the property manager, Logan, both communicated with us prior to our stay. They also accommodated a special request. We were quite happy with our stay.

Conch Retreat October 2019

The condo is large, clean, and very comfortable. The location is fantastic; walking distance to all our favorite places. It also is a quiet sanctuary to come home to after a night on the town; there is never an issue with noise. This is our second year staying here after many years of staying at hotels, and we absolutely love it. For us, the Conch Retreat is far superior. The owners, Jean and Lowell, are the best! We definitely want to come back next year!!

Everything was perfect and exactly what we expected. The condo is clean, beds and pillows are comfy. My tall husband and son loved the tall shower head! Bicycles with this rental made our visit the best Key West visit we’ve had so far. Mrs. Jean texted us to make sure everything was ok when we got there. Check-in was so easy. We would highly recommend staying here.

Great Stay at the Conch Retreat

The Conch Retreat was a great place to stay in Key West for our vacation. The location is within walking distance to all of the major attractions, and there are two bikes included if you would prefer to ride. We did have a car, so onsite secure parking was great. The condo was very comfortable, and well appointed for making quick meals. The two balconies were enjoyable in the morning and afternoon, respectively. The pool was a nice bonus and the grounds are immaculate!! We will return again - Thank you Jean for being such a great host!

BEWARE…. This is not a gated community as stated. Only gates for automobiles. All sidewalk entries have no gates, anyone could walk in. We stayed one week in mid August and our unit was broken into twice. When we arrived, we stripped the beds to put our linens on and found the mattress cover had blood stains on it. We called the owner and she never called us back. We went to the store and bought a new cover and when we return, the unit door was wide open. We called the owner and she said “oh my that’s never happened before.“ One of the two bicycles was broken and we had to take it to the bicycle shop and pay to have it fixed. The bicycle did not have the state required safety lights. Again we called the owner, no apologies no empathy. The unit is nice, but it is outdated with water stains on the ceiling in several different places and water damage on the walls in the bathroom and the paint peeling off. This was a very expensive VRBO to stay at and we were most upset with this. Smoke alarm was broken. We came back the fourth night and again front door was wide open, called Key West PD and filed a report asked to see the security camera at the gate and was told the film is erased every 12 hours. Call the owners again no apologies no empathy. They have our money they could care less. No deadbolt on front door very dangerous. You could open it with a laminated library card. There was a deadbolt, but the owner removed it and covered the hole up with a steel plate.
Front door. Deadbolt removed and plate covering hole.
Front door no deadbolt and big gap when closed
Water damage on ceiling
Older water damage that had been painted over.

Directions were easy and accurate. Kitchen was better equipped than I was expecting which was nice. Wi-Fi worked fine. Access to the neighborhood was a piece of cake. Best thing though was the location. Sandwiched between Fort Zach and Duval Street meant no need for a car (not even a golf cart either). Oh, and there were chairs and towels for the beach—nice touch. I’d stay here again. I already recommended the place to my sister who visits Key West every year just like me.

About the host

Hosted by Logan Kemp

Host profile image
We fell in love with Key West when visiting with friends. It's history, traditions, warm waters, great weather, free spirited life-style. It is a dream come true to own this condo and to share it with others so they can also fall in love with this caribbean paradise. Key West has been our second home for 20 years and visit often.

Why they chose this property

Truman Annex is a beautiful gated community. It's location says it all as you're close to everything. The landscaping is tropical and nice quiet community. You can walk or rides bikes everywhere. You can truly relax and slow down. When you are ready for action you don't need to go far. Duval street, Green Parrot, shopping, dining are all close.

What makes this property unique

The 2 Bicycles are a unique benefit. I can also recommend places to rent additional bikes if need. The Truman Annex is in Old Town centrally located so you can walk or ride bikes. Really feel like you are in paradise.
