Perfect for our Key West couples getaway

The property is exactly as described, and perfect for 2 couples or friends. The location within Truman Annex is great too, right next to the pool, and easy access to Southard (while still being in a quiet location). From there, it is just a couple short blocks to Duval. Check in and check out instructions were clear, and the owner was very communicative and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again, and will recommend this place to friends and family

Enjoyed Key West

We really enjoyed our first visit to Key West and essential to that was staying at our Starfish location. The home was very comfortable, had everything we needed and was in a great location to walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Our host Patty was very welcoming and responsive to anything we needed, even having a replacement coffee maker dropped off the same day we mentioned having a problem! We definitely hope to return and enjoy another stay.

Wonderful Stay

Starfish is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The hosts are amazing with communicating check-in and check-out times/flexibility and providing great recommendations for the Key West area. The location is amazing - an easy walk to Duval Street and a comfortable walk to the state park where we enjoyed the beach and yoga on the beach. There are upgraded appliances and everything you need for an amazing stay (beach towels, beach bags, etc.). We truly loved our stay and hope to return.

Beautiful property

Loved the way each room was decorated, very nice. Liked the location of the Truman Annex. We knew about one challenge: bedrooms upstairs and the only bathrooms upstairs. But we didn't know about the very tight spot to get in and out of the "garage" space, very difficult with a full size car.If we were to stay in Truman Annex again, we would want a unit with a downstairs lav.

Perfect birthday celebration rental

Perfect location, perfect house, and perfect place for a 60th birthday celebration. Words cannot describe how much the owner has made this property a little piece of paradise. Our first time in Key West and we had a beyond fantastic week, even on my husband’s birthday that was on the day Hurricane Helene happened. My husband was surprised with a birthday gift on arrival. We definitely give this place and owners a 10 out of 10.

Christmas 2022

Having vacationed in Key West many times, we were very excited to return after 7 years. We have stayed in Truman Annex prior but closer to Mallory Pier This location was great especially since it was a five minute walk to our favorite restaurant Santiago’ s Bodega. The townhome was perfect Scott and Patty did a fantastic job with all the details! If you wanted to cook the kitchen was well equipped! If only the weather cooperated!

About the host

Hosted by Patty

Host profile image
Originally from the Chicago area, we moved to Key West from St. Louis. We used to visit sunny Key West quite often on vacations and knew we needed to live here one day. We purchased the townhome in 2007 and lived in it until 2014 when we moved into a condo, also in Truman Annex. We live in Key West year round so we are here to answer renter's questions or help in any way we can.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the location of this charming townhome in Truman Annex. We also liked that it was an end unit and the extra windows brought in lots of natural light. Also the shared pool is conveniently located right out the back deck gate. We appreciated being able to walk or ride our bikes to the beach, restaurants, the Tropic Cinema, friend's homes and almost everywhere on the island.

What makes this property unique

While we lived in the townhome we renovated the kitchen adding granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. We also renovated both bathrooms and added glass doors to both showers. One of our favorite additions was adding Caribbean style plantation shutters throughout the home. We also loved opening the two sets of French doors on the first floor and enjoying the view of the tropical landscaping. We felt very lucky to be living in Paradise!
