The property was the perfect size for the two of us. We enjoyed the deck tremendously. The location was great and we used the free bus transit to get to the places a bit further than we wanted to walk.

Private and Secure

Location and condo was amazing. We were only a few blocks from a lot of offerings such as music, bar, museums, and more. We rented a golf cart for a few days. The assigned condo spot is right out front of the door though the neighbor had been using our spot because it was close. Not to worry we met such an amazingly nice gentleman who apparently happens to be on the condo association board who gave us an alternative spot to use. Just like anywhere in Florida plan for mosquitoes!

Perfect Key West condo ◡̈

Everything was perfect for our week long stay to celebrate our 30th anniversary! Location, location, location!!!! Close walk to all of the fun on Duval, and yet a super quiet condo to come home to at night! The back deck was our favorite room, perfect for coffee in the morning, and breezy nights taking in the tropical vibes!! The condo is a perfect size for 2 people; the pool is a gem that we enjoyed every day; great parking; the grounds are beautiful; condo is clean and welcoming. We would 100% stay here again on our next trip to KW… Jean was super quick to respond to us also. A+ stay.

Our time at Island Escape Key West

This is the 15th year we have stayed at Island Escape and we enjoyed ourselves completely. As usual, there were several upgrades when we arrived and they added to our enjoyment of the property. Jean and Lowell checked in with us to ensure that there was nothing else we needed. A completely enjoyable experience.

Love Quaint Island Escape!

We love staying here when we come to Key West. We love sitting on our balcony, drinking coffee and relaxing. Time by the pool is always a must! We have never been in December; so, seeing all of the Christmas, decorations and lights was very cool.

Beautiful Island Escape

The Island Escape condo at the Truman Annex was perfect. I was vacationing with friends who were staying in another unit in the same complex. It was very convenient that we were both located in the same complex, and the condo was also very conveniently located to everything we wanted to do in Key West. The one bedroom unit was clean and well equipped with everything I needed for a one week stay. I especially enjoyed the back patio. The owner / property manager provided plenty of information and was pleasant to interact with. Our group usually comes to Key West once per year - I will definitely be looking for the same unit again next time.
