Linger Longer by AvantStay | Key West Walkable | Gated Community, Shared Pool

*Please note that this home is available for stays of 7+ days only. Starting January 1, 2026, it will be available for stays of 28+ days only.*

Enjoy a carefree vacation in a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath, 2-story townhome, located on Southard Court in the Truman Annex, downtown Key West. This home is situated right in front of the community pool.

The first floor has an open floor plan with a full kitchen, dining area, and living area which opens to a beautiful backyard patio. There is also a half bath on the first floor. French doors from the living room open to the back deck with grill and exit gate right onto Thomas Street, giving easy access to and from downtown. This townhome is conveniently located poolside and just a short walk to the many restaurants, attractions, and shopping that Old Town Key West has to offer.

The second floor has two bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed and the second guest bedroom has two twin beds. The sofa in the living room pulls out into a queen.

Linger Longer is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy our tropical climate, exploring the tiny lanes and exotic byways that make Key West famous.

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team. Whether it’s fridge stocking or in-home massages, AvantStay offers a variety of upgrades & experiences to enhance your stay.

Centrally located; clean

We love staying in Truman Annex because it is quiet but close to the action. We were pleasantly surprised to find the pictures of this unit were dated and did not show the recent updates to furniture and paint. It is much nicer than the picrures represent. It is very clean.

Great place in Key West

This was a nice, clean, quiet property in a nice spot. Close to the State Park for a nice beach day and sunset. The house was clean and comfortable with a pool right outside the door. This is exactly what we needed and I would highly recommend.

Beautiful location-property needs some updates!

Great location, spacious condo, property needs updates to the couch, master bedroom bed, privacy blind in kitchen, but a quiet location, beautiful pool, and that ice maker sure works! Love Key West but would not chose this particular condo for a future stay.

Would have loved to Linger Longer

Linger Longer is a great property for a small group. We had 3 adults & there was plenty of room for all. The location is perfect for walking to all attractions & fun stuff!! We stayed for 10 days. I wish we could have stayed so much longer! Will definitely contact ‘At Home’ for future trips!

Perfect location.

Linger Longer is located in the Truman Annex and close to everything that Key West has to offer. Grab a bike and you can be anywhere on the island in a short time. Loved being near Fort Zach state park. At Home in Key West are always a pleasure to rent from. The only upgrade to the condo would be a king sized bed in the master. Other than that the condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Will stay there again.

Nice little getaway

We had been up since 2am. Our plane landed at 10:40am. I called AvantStay and they were very nice and let us check in a little early. They were very easy to work with. It was so hot and the AC worked great and the pool was didn't out our front door.

Perfect Location

We loved the location. We walked or biked everywhere we wanted to go and we covered the entire island. The pool located just outside the front entrance of the condo, was the warmest community pool we have ever been in. The condo was very clean. It is dated and could use some updating, but we did have everything we needed with the exception of having to rent bikes. The garbage disposal was broken and they promptly sent someone over to fix. Overall a good experience, with the biggest asset being the location.

Great house in perfect location

This is a spacious and comfortably decorated home in a beautiful neighborhood bordering the "Old Town" section of Key West. The photos in the VRBO listing accurately represent the interior. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils and cookware. Fairly easy walk to just about everything and an even more convenient bicycle ride. There is a bike rental place about a block from the house. Heed any warnings you may have read about parking: It's a genuine headache. The assigned spot is very tight. With that said, on my next visit I would not bring a car anyway as doing so is truly superfluous. My family and I would be happy to rent this residence again.

Just right!

My husband and I wanted to stay someplace different than the last two times we were in Key West. After first, sharing a house in Old Town with 2 other couples we realized we love the area. Second, we stayed in a bed and breakfast just the two of us but, realized it was just too "cozy". This time it was just the two of us again so we decided on a condo in the Annex. We chose "Linger Longer" and it was just right for us. I loved the location to Duval and also the location to the pool. The pool was just a few steps from our front porch. Not to mention the character of the condo and how clean it was. The downstairs had the living room, dinning, a quarter bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen cupboards were stalked with everything we ever needed and more. Up stairs held the two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The master bedroom with a queen bed and the other smaller room had what looked like a twin bed, but the bottom of the bed comes out to make it bigger (I just used this room to get ready during the day because it had the best light coming into it). In short, we would stay here again because it was comfortable for the two of us and the location was great.

Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time visiting Key West and we absolutely loved it! The location of this home is perfect and we walked everywhere! The rental home itself was clean and had everything we needed. We stayed with our 2 teens and our son slept on the sofa downstairs which suited him, although there was a trundle bed in the 2nd bedroom I would suggest this would work for younger siblings. The pool was right outside the front of our rental which was convenient, and it was never overcrowded or loud. All in all we had a wonderful time here and we would not hesitate to stay here again.
