A Touch Of Cuba In Key West

MINIMUM STAY 29 DAYS/28 NIGHTS

About This Property
A Touch of Cuba is a privately owned, two-bedroom, one-bathroom condominium in the Shipyard section of Truman Annex — one of Key West's most sought-after residential neighborhoods. Located on Southard Street, the main entrance to the Truman Annex, the property is within walking distance of Duval Street, the Ernest Hemingway Home, the Key West Butterfly Conservatory, and the island's best restaurants, galleries, and beaches.
This is the owner's personal home — not a managed rental — which means it is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully appointed. Cuban artwork and warm, restful colors throughout reflect the owner's extensive educational and humanitarian travel to Cuba, giving the space a distinctive character you won't find in a standard vacation rental.
