About this cottage rental
Envision yourself relaxing in a beautiful wood framed conch cottage with overhead fans lazily turning below the sloping tin roof in the heart of Old Town in Key West. This is the best value in Key West as it is no cookie cutter small rental condo but a private townhome (one of only seven available for rent) in the Shipyard section of the Truman Annex with its gated entrance and 24 hour security. Our Bermuda-style cottage is steps away from sunning yourself on the beach, at the pool or enjoying the excitement of Duval Street with its many award winning restaurants, unique shops, creative art galleries, lively bars and bawdy night clubs. The famed Mallory Square and the water activities are also a short walk away. And value? How about free reserved and secure parking behind my cottage? High speed internet connection and cable TV in both bedrooms?. We also offer themed getaways for your honeymoon; anniversary; birthday or a week of romance. We know you will enjoy building memories in our home as well as Key West. On my living room walls are paintings I have purchased in Cuba from my humanitarian and education trips to the island. The colorful and yet relaxing paint hues on the wall are from my visits to Bermuda which is why I call my vacation home 'A Touch of Bermuda in Key West'. The bedroom configuration is the best. The master bedroom suite is upstairs and separate from the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Both parties have great privacy by not sharing a bathroom between two bedrooms. You will want to be outside much of the time so relax on my front porch facing picturesque Southard St. and say hello to your neighbors. Or for privacy, the very large back deck with comfortable chairs for reading and a dining table for six to enjoy a private dinner under the stars. Pets by special permission. No short weekend stays. It's not permitted by home owner association rules. The Truman Annex is a former Naval base in the heart of Old Town in Key West. President Harry Truman used to vacation here so this residential complex is named after him. There is a wonderful tour available in the home he used as his summer residence. Duval Street is two blocks away. The pool is 100+ steps out my back garden gate down a pebble path. The best beach in Key West, Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park is within walking distance and if you have little ones, the Splash Pad at the end of the street is a joy. The famed sunsets at Mallory Square are short walk away as are the many tourist attractions such as Hemingway House; the Aquarium and Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum. And if water sports are your thing, the snorkel, scuba and fishing trips all start at the local pier within walking distance of my cottage. Golf: There is an 18 hole golf course in Key West which is open to the public. It's not Pebble Beach or Augusta National but you can keep your game up to snuff by playing course the only one on the Keys. The links are within a short drive from my cottage but alas, this is one attraction not in walking distance. Good luck in breaking par. Other Activities: Some really fine dining at award winning restaurants. On the walls of my living room, I have a painting of the Blue Heaven restaurant, one of my very favorites. It is quintessential Key West. Come on down. Minimum stay is seven nights and all bookings are Saturday to Saturday except for special events such as boat race week and Fantasy Fest. PS If your party is small and you want another nice option for good value, check out my casita (condo) here in the Truman Annex # 1049465 on VRBO. Keywords: Cottage; Townhome, vacation home

The location in the Truman Annex cannot be better. It’s a short walk to most attractions in Old Town. Jack provided excellent communication to ensure a smooth vacation. The property is as presented in the listing photos.

Jack was a very communicative owner. The problem is that the home was filthy. There was urine all around the base of both toilets, not to mention the toilet itself was dirty in the downstairs basement. The sinks were caked with grime. The sheets on the master bed were ripped, stained and wore out so badly they wouldn’t stay on the mattress. There was not any bedding for the pullout couch, and we were told there would be. The blankets we found were ripped with holes and stained. The doors, floors, bannister railing were black with dirt. The chairs on the back deck were covered in bird/lizard feces and the deck was dirty with broken boards. Several throw pillows had blood stains on them. The hammock in the pictures is literally rotting in the back yard along with other garbage. Also the owner let himself into the home while we were there. There was also an elderly neighbor who rang our doorbell at least once a day, multiple times to tell us to turn lights off. The owner was notified of the issues, but nothing was ever rectified. We were so disappointed. He seems like a nice man, but that home is not acceptable.

Very well cared for cottage with island theme throughout. Location at Truman Annex entrance is perfect, 2 blocks from Duval Street, and reserved parking space is 30 steps from front door. There is scooter parking on Thomas Street within 30 yards for rentals. Just can't say enough about how well we liked this cottage.

Great location and nice home. Jack was very communicative.

Very quiet location yet only 2 blocks from Duval St and all the action and so many restaurants. Excellent privacy for couples vacationing together as one bedroom is upstairs and the 2nd is downstairs. This home has lots of amenities including a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and fully equipped kitchen with condiments. The Truman Annex is very walkable and peaceful with lush landscaping. The owner responded quickly to our questions and was very helpful.

Had a great stay this March in Key West. A great part of that was staying in Jack's cottage. Extremely comfortable for four people. Location was very central to everything in Old Town but far enough off Duval to cut down on the noise. Jack was a gracious host and well versed in all things Key West. Hope to get back some day.

We can't wait to stay here again. The location is superb to everywhere we go. Communication and responses from Jack were wonderful, everything we needed was in the house, we have zero complaints. Book it!

Charming little house. Great for 4 people, 6 adults was a little more crowded. Master bedroom and bathroom are large. Outdoor spaces and neighborhood safe, well kept and attractive. Perfect location for walking to all the tourist spots, shopping and restaurants in old town. Secured parking for 1 car came in very handy. Would stay here again. Owner communicated well and was very helpful.

We had a nice time in key west staying in the cottage owned by Mr. Agnew (Jack). It is in a location that is close to everything. We rented bikes for the week and rode or walked everywhere, even to and from the grocery, chartering a boat for fishing and Smather’s Beach. It was nice to have air conditioning as a few days were warm toward the end of the stay. The cottage is older, but in good shape. We enjoyed the front porch, the back patio and the pool which was just down the path. We were glad to be just outside the hustle and bustle of Duval street but it was right there if wanting to shop, etc. Sunsets, ice cream, restaurants, museums, light house, fort Zachary Taylor + beach all a short walk or bike ride away! Perfect location.

Jack's property was the perfect location to what Key West has to offer. The property owner, Jack stopped by and was fun to talk to. We loved sitting on the front porch at night and the closeness to Duval, the State Park and walking around in Key West.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is beautiful and was ready for an early arrival. Jack stopped by upon our arrival to provide some valuable information about the area as well. If you are traveling with anyone in need of mobility assistance as we were this property is set up to support that very well. Would rent here again if my travels ever take me back to Key West.

This was our first trip to Key West in many years and this year, we took our two five-month old French Bulldogs for their first road trip and breach trip. The property in the Truman Annex provides convenient, walkable access to all the sites in Old Town as well as the Truman Waterfront Park. This park, only two blocks from the house, was a great space to walk and run our frenchies with other dogs and their humans. The house was fully stocked with all our practical needs and provided ample space for the two of us and our fidos. Jack, the proprietor, made sure that we had clear check-in directions and was flexible with our late check-in time. He touched base occasionally to see if we needed anything and was only a phone call or text away. I recommend this property for a visit to Key West, especially with pets.
