About this property

Casa Cristol- Family and Pet Friendly - Classic KW Charm Superb Location!

Family friendly, secluded retreat within Key West Truman Annex gated community. Our lanai is a destination in of itself and makes this home extra special. We have some of the most comfortable bedding in Key West prepping you well for each day’s adventures. The fully-equipped kitchen is superb. Location Location Location. There is one vehicle carport, Duval is a block away, yet there is no clatter. This single-family home has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Private lanai area great for outdoor living and family dining and relaxing in the tropical atmosphere of Key West. Bring your emotional support or service animals so nobody is left at home, diminishing the experience for all. The entire home is available for your use and enjoyment. Just text if you need anything from dining advice to experience suggestions. We hope that you can stay with us.

Michael's place is fantastic - excellent location (everything walkable), plenty of space to spread out and high end amenities inside. The house is inside the Truman Annex, which is a very secure, safe, quiet part of Key West, yet practically right next to Duval St and the busiest part of Key West. Michael is a great communicator and made sure we had what we needed for our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Michael McMahon

Host profile image
I am are originally from the Washington DC area and graduated from the University of Maryland in 1983. I am a public accountant by education and spent a good portion of my career as a mortgage broker. I retired to a gentleman's farm in Harford County, Maryland in 1996, then added a second residence in Key West in 2001.

Why they chose this property

I choose the Truman Annex because of its security features, having heard too many stories from friends in Old Town about their porch furniture missing while they were away. Casa Cristol is my second home in the Annex purchased in 2003. In 2007. I moved over to Harbour Place and this home became a HomeAway rental.

What makes this property unique

Casa Cristol is special because it is in the Truman Annex and close to every place a visitor would want to experience on a Key West holiday. The bright and airiness of the home fills guests with joy and wonderment, a true tropical paradise. The lanai is the ultimate gathering spot for families to share a rich vacation experience.
