We hope you will enjoy this home where Ernest Hemingway and Jimmy Buffet memorabilia welcome you into the abode our first guest affectionately called “The Writer's Retreat'.
This two bedroom, one bath condo with bleached grey hardwood flooring throughout is highlighted by a massive 65 inch Plasma TV loaded with thousands of movies at your fingertips. Relax on the designer furniture while enjoying the full collection of Hemingway's books or lose yourself in The Master Bedroom retreat which has been luxuriously decorated with 1000 thread count bedding on the Romantic Canopy Bed with French doors leading out to a spacious rear patio overlooking the pool.
The guest bedroom has two twin upgraded pillow top beds that can be converted to a King bed to accommodate a family or two couples. The King is stocked with a very thick down padding and luscious linens for maximum comfort. Enjoy the sounds of the keys or music of Buffet as the guest bedroom is decorated in tribute to crooner and the island lifestyle detailed in framed sheet music.
If staying in for the evening or fixing breakfast or lunch have fun in the 1950’s themed state of the art kitchen equipped with an imported European SMEG Fridge and Stainless Appliances. Likewise, the bathroom has been decorated in an art deco style typical of an earlier time in the Keys.
The front Family room area has features a queen sleeper sofa bed with a down pad and bedding for extra sleeping space. All pillows and bedding are down and of high quality in order to provide maximum comfort on your stay. Quite simply, we designed this home to fit in with the Keys lifestyle. It is bright, open and lends itself to a vibe which we hope catapults you to a great stay in our beloved Keys.

Please enjoy the slide show of our new wonderful home in Key West and we hope to accommodate your vacation needs.

Great location for KW getaway
First time to KW and the location is great and we comfortably walked everywhere. Condo owner was very responsive to questions. Comes with small kitchen and fridge for cooking but we did not use it because we were only there 4 days. Condo did accommodate our family of 6 but it was small and tight. Would be perfect for 4!Thank you for the opportunity the place was great.JP

Great location, Condo OK
We had high hopes when booking this property-- write-up and reviews looked great, location was ideal. On the plus side- the location of the condo was great--close to everything Key West has to offer within walking distance! Nice community with a pool. Parking is right out front. Condo itself was another story-- definitely didn't live up to the description- it needs some updating/up-keep. Check-in was an hour after contracted time (apparently the previous guests had a late checkout, to our detriment); freezer needs a serious defrosting; the bathroom towels (ostensibly white) were dingy and stained; many of the light bulbs were out; TV remote batteries were dead; the backs of the dining chairs were so loose they are a safety concern; porch furniture (on either deck) not as depicted- torn cushions on the front deck furniture.

Great location
The property was in a great location to explore old town on foot. The complex and unit were comfortable. The unit could really use a deep clean and it would have been nice to have a workable freezer and ice machine. Otherwise the unit worked fine for our week stay.

Nice condo decorated
Decorated nice. Did not like the broken bathroom faucet. I called to notify and was told it works but due to future bookings, it has been broken for awhile but still not fixed. Not pleased with the frost filled freezer.

My sister and niece and I came for a long weekend at Key West and had a great time! The location of the condo is so perfect- walkable to everywhere and the property is just as described. The pool was a great way to relax on the hot afternoons and all the bars and restaurants were so fun and convenient in the evenings .Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Very Nice Unit=Enjoyed!
The unit was very clean and nicely appointed. The owners have provided (as far as we needed) all the utensils, dishes, etc. you will need. Although the ad says that there are no beach chairs provided, there is a big basket of them- perhaps left from previous visitors. Two things we had problems with: The freezer is TINY. It needs defrosted for one and a small bag of ice leaves no room for anything else. The key box on the outside door is not reachable for a vertically challenged person. If I hadn't had tall friends, I would have never been able to gain entrance. Other than that, location is ideal. I've stayed in the Truman Annex every time I've visited Key West (10-12 years). The fact that you can have a quiet place to go back to after being in the night life, I feel, is wonderful. Book the Writer's Retreat. You won't be disappointed!

A little noisy
The property was nice and the community was fairly private with a little traffic. Unfortunately the unit below us was under construction and the contractor was a little loud and turned off the water at one point not knowing we were there. They were quick to turn it on when we informed them. There were painters that were working on the outside of our building including the front balcony so we did not use that area. We understand it is the off season but a heads up would have been nice. Otherwise the property was comfortable for our family.

Great location
We love staying in the Shipyard and find it a fantastic location. This property was the best unit we’ve stayed in. Very clean and comfortable with awesome decor. One room is a little tight with the queen bed taking up most of the room but the bed and bedding were very comfortable so it was easy to forget. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Truman Annex
Great location in Key West. Easy to Uber or ride a bike around. The condo was very clean and the pool was nice. The beds were very comfortable. We had 4 adults stay there with one bathroom which was a little difficult. It was a little small for 4 adults. We really enjoyed sitting on both balconies, that did help with the space. Other than that it was a great choice in Key West!

Perfect retreat.
My husband, 8 year old son and my father- in -law enjoyed a quick trip down to Key West. This was a perfect place to stay as everything we wanted to do was easily walkable. The pool was a welcome place to go to cool down mid day and the balcony was delightful for end of the evening drinks.
