About this property

A License to Chill at the Truman Annex in Key West

The historic Foundry, known as building #101, features three story townhomes, located in the award-winning residential neighborhood known as the Truman Annex.
Handsome oversized French doors open into the great room with an 11' ceiling and richly, appointed interiors. The open style kitchen enjoys the surrounds of the dining and living rooms combined. The second primary bedroom has a King bed, a quiet private deck, and an ensuite bathroom.
The third floor guest bedroom has two extra long twins that can be converted to a king with an ensuite bathroom. A lovely deck off the first floor entrance allows for some early morning or evening social time; great for coffee early in the day or grilling after a successful day at sea!
The fisherman of this house caught the biggest fish yet of the century and placed it on his living room wall. There is a refreshing community pool close by and a private parking space conveniently located in front of unit. High speed cable Internet.

Please note: This property has a 28 night minimum stay

Calm relaxed location

The central location of the property made each day easy to get to the locations we wanted, usually with a very short walk. Yet as close to the action it was, the design and security of the property provided a very calm and tranquil experience.

Perfect spot if you are interested in parking the car and walking everywhere. The condo’s furnishings are a little “tired” but not enough to make it a problem. Note. TV stations very limited and all non-HD stuff. Washer was’t working while we were here but we were reimbursed for trip to laundry.

Too tired

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in spite of the very tired accommodation! Great location. Your services were great! We can’t believe this owner keeps the condo as it is. Holes in furniture, front door that barely closes, delaminated bath tubs, rotten wood, peeling paint, towel racks that fall off the wall, terrible plumbing and the FILTHIEST area rug we have EVER seen and what is probably black mold on the HVAC vent in main bathroom. Kitchen ill equipped, not even a pot holder in the place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is in a beautiful area and enjoyed our walks to town and park. Good restaurants and attractions in walking distance. The condo itself was clean and had enough items in kitchen for us to use. It could definitely use an update as far as furniture goes. Bathrooms could use a refresh. Master bedroom bed as comfy. Upstairs bed also needs a refresh. I would stay here again.

Great Location, Description Misleading!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of was great! The Truman Annex is a special place. The unit itself was not clean-- and not well equipped. Zero beach towels, only two rusty beach chairs. The description is wrong. Replacing a refrigerator is not a fully renovated kitchen. The dishes were mismatched, it looked like a frat house and they were dirty. I sent a full email with all the issues to include photos. broken blinds, cracked tile, worm out sheets-- the list goes on. This unit needs a major overhaul. We will never rent this particular unit again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was my 16th FF, and I've stayed in the Foundry townhouses for 5 of them with my wife and friends. This was my 2nd stay in "A License to Chill". We've always found the Foundry townhouses very comfortable, quiet, and convenient to the places we go to, and being able to park at our front door is very convenient also.

Needs update

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While we realize that rental property is difficult to maintain, the townhouse is in serious need of a bathroom and furniture update. The bath fixtures are old and not in the best condition. The living room furniture is completely worn out also. The tv connection would only allow us to watch one channel in the living area. This was our tenth stay in Truman Annex and we were disappointed in this unit. Someone needs to give it a walk through to address multiple maintenance needs.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived, there were two spider webs (TV area and ceiling fan), dog treats on the floor, stains on the area rug, couch, and loveseat and a good amount of mold around both tubs. Although they sent out a cleaning service, a pest control person and a wet vac person to clean the rug/furniture, the bathrooms remain an issue and overall it felt like it needed a little TLC.
