Great location and a charming house

We had an easy check in with Nancy. The house is in the charming and quiet Truman Annex, in close walking distance to all the fun on Duvall Street. House is nicely decorated, but a little dated. Views off the back balcony were a highlight. The pool was clean and nice for a quick dip. We would rent again!

Family vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was amazing, the location is quiet and within walking distance from everything we wanted to do. We especially loved the pool and the kitchen/living room areas. We were able to comfortably share a lot of special time together after exploring Key West every day.

Lester stay

Nancy was great. Was always able to get in touch with her if needed. Anytime there was any issue which were only minor ones, she’s right on top of it. And we stayed during Milton so she kept us up to speed with everything. Will definently go back. The home was absolutely stunning and was perfect for our family trip

Great Place to make memories in Key West.

This house location is stunning. The sunsets were fabulous. And close to many of the 'must see' places in Key West. The house has a great set up. The pool was a real plus for the kids. Property management was on top of any requests - what more could you ask for. This property merits the reviews it receives. Thank you for a great week! We will be back!

An Excellent Key West Vacation

This was the perfect location for a memorable Key West vacation for my wife and I as well as our two adult children. Gorgeous water views from the house, plus it was walking distance to the beach and Duval St. Nancy was a great host, and we would highly recommend staying here.

GREAT STAY

Had a wonderful stay at the Dolphin Watch. We are 6 adults and had plenty of room and seating inside and out for all of us. Nancy was quick to reply to questions and any issues we had. Thank you so much for a rememberable trip!

50th Wedding Anniversary celebration

This property did not disappoint. The Truman Annex location was perfect for our needs. The house decor was lovely. Plenty of room to spread out in, pool area private and quiet. Beautiful landscaping was mature and lush, but it was the view from the second floor balcony that we enjoyed the most. Would we come back,again ,to stay at Dolphin Watch in a heartbeat.

Annual Friends Trip to Key West

Location location location, Truman’s Annex is the best location in Key West! The layout of the house is fine and has very efficiently utilized space. The pool is nice, however the pool decking needs repair in a few places. The mattresses, bedding and pillows in the king rooms are terrible and needs replacing. There are a couple of tiles that are cracked and noted with blue construction tape. Overall we had a great trip, however I would ensure upgraded bedding before I booked this home again.

Family vacation in paradise

Spent a week at Dolphin Watch with my parents, siblings, and niece. We absolutely loved the rental!! Couldn’t beat the location; close to everything in old town, right on the Truman waterfront, but quiet. Well outfitted, we weren’t missing anything, and my niece (8) could hardly be coaxed out of the pool. Property manager was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend.

Awesome location

We go to Key West a few times a year but had not stayed in the Truman Annex before. It is really nice and more quite than other locations. This house has the extra attraction of a view of the water from the second floor deck. We had a great time as always and this house is a great place to stay when you want quite at night and still close to all the fun on Duval.
