About this property

Great Location- Remodeled Condo- Old Town-Truman Annex Close to all attractions

Hello, I am Francine -- new owner who recently listed the condo on VRBO. This is why I do not have yet any rating and if you are anything like me -- you are looking for best rating. However, if you trust me and are looking for a relaxing and attractive place while still being in the middle of the action, this place does exist at the Shipyard Condominiums.

It's located in the prestigious gated community of Truman Annex in Key West’s old town area which is 2 blocks from Duval Street, close to the beach and all the Old Town Key West attractions and great restaurants. You can walk to the grocery store (Fausto's), have drinks at the Green Parrot (2 blocks away) and enjoy Fort Zachary Taylor State Park which is around the corner.

I just renovated this 2 bedrooms /1 bath condo which is outfitted with washer/dryer, all new appliances in the kitchen, pots/pans, towels, linens, have central air conditioning, pool access and assigned parking inside the gated community.

This end unit condo is on the ground floor and has big, beautiful French doors in the living room and master bedroom. They open onto the private back deck with has outdoor patio furniture. You also have a fully equipped modern kitchen, renovated bathroom, and flat screen TV’s in the living room and wireless internet access. The master bedroom has a king size bed and the guest bedroom has a queen size bed and each bedroom has flat screen TVs.

After a full day of taking in the island’s many wonderful experiences, come back to the comfort of this home. The manicured landscaping, verdant palms, and white picket fences give the Shipyard and Truman Annex a lovely park atmosphere. All this tranquility makes it hard to imagine that Duval Street, Key West’s central artery of entertainment is only two blocks away.

I am looking forward to welcoming you to this lovely sunny condo.
Please reach out if you have any questions - +1 914 648 8943. Best, Francine

Nice location and updates

Wonderful last minute Christmas visit to Key West. This location is perfect and was an easy walk to everything. The only complaint that I had was minor. The floor and living room rug could use some cleaning, but this is common for rentals. Everything else was obviously new. We would return here for another visit.

Cute Place & Perfect Location

We Loved our stay! Beautiful place and nicely decorated. Keypad entry is super nice. Location is perfect and within walking distance to everything. We had all the supplies we needed for a great visit. Nice and quiet location in complex. We loved the patio and being able to cook our own food. Our only complaint wood be tiny ants in kitchen (I'm sure this is a common problem in warmer climates then where we live).

Beautiful condo & great location

This condo was lovely, extremely well-stocked, clean, and welcoming. The temps in Key West were high during our visit, but the powerful ceiling fans in every room kept the place very cool. Our daughters enjoyed the variety of games available on a rainy day. The beds are beyond comfortable and plenty of towels to go around. The location was perfect. Close enough to Duval for quick walk to dinner and shopping, but far enough for quiet nights on the back patio.

Hard 2 find

Nice clean condo. Took us over a half an hour to find it because it was not labeled correctly. There was not an address on it, or some tote it off the door. Tried calling the property manager several times and never answered the whole time we were there. Left a message and never returned our call Nice amenities.

Very nice condo in a great location.

We stayed here for several nights and did not have a single issue. The owner was very pleasant and responsive to any questions we had. It was a short walk to downtown and the beach. The condo was very clean and orderly. We would absolutely book again should we return to Key West. Thank you Francine!

Dreams of Key West

We found this listing on VRBO, it was listed as remodeled. It exceeded our every expectation! Clean, modern, safe, fully equipped with everything we needed for us & our adult children 34 & 33. Located in heart of old town we walked everywhere. And Francine our host was outstanding, she went above & beyond in every way to make our trip so memorable. When we return, we won't even look at other options, for quality & value this is the best place we have stayed. Made our dreams come true!!!

Perfect little spot

Great little spot with all of the necessary goods to save some dough by making breakfast & having coffee (Cuban Coffee Queen's coffee is amazing) in and spending dough for dinners and adventires. Francine has all the goods to prepare meals, make frozen cocktails, etc. The bed is amazing! So comfortable and I love that the doors open to the patio. She was very welcoming and available if needed. Thank you Francine for sharing this space with us!

Charming condo

This condo was perfect for our week stay in Key West. The furniture and master bedroom was very comfortable! The back private patio was a great bonus with beautiful landscaping which made the area so cozy. It’s location is very convenient to Duval Street and walking distance to so many restaurants and bars. We won’t hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent stay! Excellent owner!

Owner: A++++ Francine was extremely attentive prior to and during our stay. She was very flexible in meeting a couple special requests. She answered any queries immediately. Location: Excellent. Condo is located in a quiet section of Shipyard Condos. Shipyard is a couple blocks off Duval (easy walk) and about 1 block from Blue Heaven. Location is close enough to all the fun on Duval, but far enough away to enjoy quiet surroundings. Condo: Very clean and well organized. Kitchen is well equipped with pots/pans/dishes/utensils etc. Appliances appear to be new and all worked fine. 2 coffee makes (1 Keurig and one for ground coffee). Bed is big and comfortable. Loved the deck ,,, perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee and relaxing afternoon beverages. I will definitely here again on my next trip to Key West! Thank you Francine!

Best of both worlds!!

We were looking for the best of both worlds for our stay in Key West – a quiet & peaceful, clean & comfortable place, but one that was also within walking distance to the restaurants, shops, marina and beach. We definitely found it!! Francine’s condo at the Shipyard/Truman Annex not only met, but exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. The condo itself was just perfect for the two of us. It’s on the first floor and has a very private and spacious patio. Everything was very comfortable, especially the beds. We had a full kitchen with everything we needed, including all new appliances. Having a washer and dryer was a great as well and it seemed that there were so many nice touches throughout the condo. We also really appreciated having a bike rack right out our front door, as well as a really nice pool and hot tub nearby in the complex. The location was absolutely perfect and everyone was so friendly!! We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach where we spent time relaxing in the sun. Watching the sunsets from the beach at the state park was just perfect!! When we wanted to go out for the evening, we only had to walk 2 blocks to Duval St. and all it had to offer!! In fact, our condo was just a block or two from iconic Key West establishments like The Green Parrot and Blue Heaven. And if we chose to eat in, we were within easy walking distance of the grocery store. Francine was a really great communicator throughout the booking process and during our stay. She provided so many suggestions and tips for our stay on the island. We very much look forward to coming back and staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Francine Lecompte Gittins

Host profile image
Hello, I am French Canadian (from Montreal) and I lived in San Francisco Bay Area (Marin County) for over 15 years, then moved to the south of France (Nice/Antibes/Cannes) and then, moved to Manhattan (midtown) where I stayed for over 10 years. I have now settled in Key West and have renovated this condo in the fall of 2022 (October) and listed it on VRBO. This is why I do not have yet ranking as I am new on VRBO. You will not be disappointed if you stay at my place. I will make sure that you will enjoy your stay.

I initially thought Key West would be too small to keep me busy but it is the opposite. People are so nice, happy and welcoming and we have many activities between arts, museums, water sports and more. As a person, I love biking, taking walks and sharing great moments with friends and family around a glass of wine (or two) and food.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns and looking forward to getting reviews from you.

Looking forward to talking and hopefully meeting you soon in "Sunny Key West".

Why they chose this property

Many of you have been to Key West so there is little to add except to say the condo is located at the "Truman Annex" but those of you who have not yet been to Key West, Truman Annex is in the heart of old town but away from the noise.

You can walk everywhere from the condo and come by for a siesta in the afternoon where it is calm and relaxing. We are really close to Truman Little White house where President Harry S Truman began using this former naval officer residence in November 1946 as his winter White House. Truman spent 11 working vacations here frequently meeting with high-ranking officials. Key West is also the home of many other well known celebrities such as: Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Buffet to mention only a couple.

What makes this property unique

You do not need a car -- you can walk everywhere.
You can access the beach in less than 10 minutes walk, stroll by the water in less than 5 minutes and discover old town Key West with all its attractions at your doorstep.
And if you are looking for calm and relaxing time, walk back to the condo and sit by the pool while taking a nap on the lounge chairs.
You have access to a private pool on the property and the golf course is about 10-15 minute drive.
All kitchen appliances are new, the king and queen size beds are also new -- as I said, it was remodeled in October 2022.
