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

Location is great and safe. Super clean, inviting and gives the sense of “home”. Francine is a wonderful host and I hope to be able to book with her in the future!
We totally enjoyed our stay in Key West. Francine ’s condo provided everything we needed. The patio with tropical plants was a great place to enjoy morning coffee. A beautiful place and a wonderful place to stay — thank you so much! This was our first time in the Keys, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back soon!Best host in Keys!! - Danfords :)
Property was located to all areas of interest! Enjoyed the vacation. Our host was wonderful even provided us with a Christmas tree and decorations. Highly recommend this location!
This is the best location to stay on the Island! We did not rent a car so we walked and biked everywhere. The owner Francine was so accommodating and had some great recommendations. We will definitely stay here again!

Gayanna and her friends were great renters. I had the chance to meet them and enjoyed talking about Key West and all the activities around the island. Would love to have them stay again. Best, Francine
Had a wonderful time at this property. Its our families 2nd time staying in this unit. Everything is walkable from here, which we love. Francine was extremely responsive and the rental process was a breeze. We will be back (hopefully sooner than later)!
This unit was very clean and walkable to about anything you would want to do. It has a well maintained outdoor space for meals or relaxing. The owner is easy to reach and responds quickly to any questions that may arise.
This property is perfectly located near everything. The property owner, Francine, communicated quickly, answered all our questions, and was very responsive. The whole property is well maintained, and feels extremely safe. I'm looking forward to staying here again.

Melinda is a great guest — the condo was left so clean and she is so accommodating as I had potentially workers who were supposed to come to the condo. I highly recommend her and her party.
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.
We stayed at Francine's lovely apartment, everything stated was correct apartment was lovely with quality furnishings. Check in and communications spot on . Location was fantastic and the bonus was the places she recommended to dine and eat were just great. Thank you so much Francine we will be back !
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).
The house was everything we could have asked for. Close to everything we wanted , restaurants, shops , entertainment, Duval Street . But it’s far away enough to have quiet evenings on the deck . Definitely going to go back !
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!!!

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.

So sorry to hear. I believe you might not have had the right phone number as I never received a call or any messages. Again. Apology for this inconvenience.
About the host
Hosted by Francine Lecompte Gittins
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.
