About this property
Truman Annex end-unit home, private outdoor spaces, pool, close to Duval & beach
There's a lot to love about #1 at the Foundry! It's nestled within Key's West world-famous Truman Annex where you'll find charming streets, white picket fences and tropical landscaping. You'll love that we're close to the beach and many attractions, yet in a peaceful part of town. Our location can't be beat! It's just a few blocks from the action of Duval St and a quick bike ride or walk to beaches at Ft Zachary Taylor. The Southernmost Point, Key West Amphitheater and Mallory Square are all within walking distance.
Being an end-unit, #1 at the Foundry has a few *bonus features* you'll enjoy. The first bonus is an additional wall of expansive windows and an extra French door. The result is an abundance of natural light and views of tropical landscaping. The second bonus is that this unit has TWO lovely, tropically landscaped gated courtyards. The first is on charming Front St, inside a pretty iron gate. The second is even larger and is on the Eaton St side. It's accessed through the extra French door which is in the kitchen, making it very easy to move food and drinks outdoors. The side yard is especially beautiful in the late afternoon and makes a great place to hang out or have dinner. There's a private gate to Eaton St and it is just steps away from your designated parking spot. It's unusual within the Foundry to have two yards and all the extra windows. We love the additional space and all the extra light. We think you will love it too.
#1 at the Foundry is a three story home. On the first floor, you'll find the spacious living, kitchen, and dining areas, along with a half bath. High ceilings make the space feel even larger. Up the stairs, you find the primary bedroom which has a king sized bed and French doors leading to a patio that overlooks peaceful Front St. There is an en suite bath and laundry on this floor. The top floor is home to another private bedroom with a queen sized bed and en suite bath. Each bedroom has a TV.
The historic red brick Foundry structure was built in the 1800's as a part of an annex to Naval Station Key West. The historic building was re-imagined in the 1990's as townhome residences in what is now known as the upscale residential neighborhood of 'Truman Annex'. This charming island neighborhood was named for President Harry Truman who spent his winters in at the Annex in his home known as 'The Little White House.' His famous residence, which is now a museum, is just down the street from the Foundry.
A heated pool, shared only by those staying at the Foundry, is just moments away. Within this gated area, you'll find abundant lounge chairs and a restroom in a resort-style setting.
Each unit has one reserved parking space. The space for #1 is very close by. When coming in from the car, it's particularly convenient to enter the home through the private side yard and then into the side kitchen door. You may not even use a car while you are staying with us - so much is within walking distance!

Wonderful location and beautiful property! Christy was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I also have to mention how comfy the bed was. My husband and I loved it!

So glad you had a wonderful time Dina! Thank you for that excellent review.
The place is amazing. Location is close to beach and walking distance to shops, restaurants and nightlife. Owner is quick to respond. Beds are comfortable and townhouse layout was perfect for our family. Highly recommended and would stay again when we visit Key West.

We had a wonderful stay at the townhouse in the Truman Annex recently. The accommodations were immaculate, the location was incredibly convenient, and the owner's responsiveness to any questions we had was truly exceptional. Thank you once again for your attention to detail and for ensuring such a pleasant experience.

Thank you for that excellent review Dawn. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay!
This area has always been our home away from home.
Christy, the property was immaculate! Everything we needed was there! The extra linens and beach towels were a welcome site. The deck was amazing and we spent a few nights out there. It was an extraordinary stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed the property and location to DuVal Street and the beaches.
Place was very clean and wonderfully quiet.
Pots and Pans could be updated.
Christy and Mike were extremely responsive to any questions we had.
Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you Mark - we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for letting us know about the pots and pans. We've got new ones on the way!
We had a great few days in Key West at this lovely little townhome! It would have been ideal for our family if the 3rd floor bedroom had a couple of sets of bunk beds instead of having 2 kids share a bed and one in the main living space but certainly everyone was comfortable enough. Otherwise it was perfect - great location, clean, well maintained, and very nice way to escape the weather in the northeast. I especially love the jasmine blooming along the fence!
We have stayed in Key West many times, in both hotels and in rented homes and this home, is BY FAR the best location!We went to watch the sunset every night and walked to Southernmost most mornings to watch it rise. Restaurants, shops and our favorite book store, were all within an easy walk.We took an Uber to and from the airport and to the beach (because we were carrying stuff) and never missed having a car.Ubers arrived in literally minutes .We cooked a few nights and were happy to find everything we needed in the house or at Faustos (local supermarket within a quick walk).We were there for the winter solstice and there was still some sun in the yard and on the balcony.The community pool is small and felt crowded when 3 families were all there at once but it was OK and we preferred the beach anyway. I would highly recommend this home for singles, couples or even 2 couples. There were 3 of us and it was more than large enough!

Thank you so much for that great review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We loved this property!!!Close to Fort Zachery which was the prettiest beach in Key West. Pool was 92 degrees and at times all to ourselves. Walking distance to Duval and Mallory square with the elegance of a quiet gated manicured neighborhood. Property was decorated in such a comfortable welcoming way.. Patio with gass grill to cook our fresh seafood catch. Purple brand mattress on the bed was very comfortable. Bidet toilet. Southern front porch with wicker chairs to enjoy our morning coffee.
Property manager Christy was fast to reply to all of our needs and questions. Air conditioning quit working one day while we were out and she had a repair man at the house in less than 1/2 hour. Air was back up and running approximately 1 hour after making contact with her. Everything was perfect, but remember to bring your shampoo and conditioner and soap for showering. Plenty of towels, bed sheets and beach towels. Loads of extra pillows and blankets. Great location nicely kept property and quiet neighborhood.
Truman Annex location was great! Townhouse was nicely furnished and decorated. Clean but floors were not clean. Our feet were black on the bottom after just short time of arriving and walking around inside. But lots more supplies for us than past VRBO rentals. Front porch had nice wicker seating for 4 people. Side deck/porch area was a mess with bird droppings and tree droppings; very disappointing. We never used that area. Two beach chairs were very old and broken. But the location is perfect.

Hi Mary - thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you enjoyed the location and the decor/furnishings. We do take pride in our super cute Key West townhome. I will ask the housecleaner to take more care with the floors. There were some birds migrating through KW recently and they took a liking to the tree that shades the side patio. Unfortunately, birds do make a mess. I hosed off the side porch and furniture just hours before your arrival. When you called to ask for directions back to the house, you mentioned that it was dirty again. So, I power washed the side and front patios the day after you checked out. We added an additional fake owl to scare away the birds - and thankfully, I do think they have moved on! The broken chairs were left by another guest and have been removed. Thank you again for bringing these things to our attention so we can address them.
We just returned from a great week in KW with our friends. The property is in an ideal location within a quiet neighborhood and only minutes walking distance of both Duval St and the waterfront as well as a grocery store, so we didn't need a rental car. The unit is a nice size for 4 adults and well decorated and maintained and matched what we saw on the website. Although we didn't cook much, the kitchen was well stocked. The pool for The Foundry was a little on the small size but that didn't keep us from getting wet and cooling off. The host was very responsive to emails, typically responding within minutes. Overall I'd rate the property and host as A+.

Thank you so much for staying with us Joe and for taking the time to leave a great review. I'm so glad you had such a fun time and enjoyed your stay. We hope you will come back again!
We went to Key West for a spring break get-away. This place was perfect for providing a blend of peacefulness with some Key West fun. It is in a beautiful, quiet, gated community that is a mere couple blocks away from the restaurants and bars of Key West. The property was exceptionally clean and well-appointed, and the communication with the host was very prompt. It is very close to a park with a parcours path for a morning workout, and a short hike or bike ride to a beach. Note that it is three levels, so you get your stair workout in if you stay in the top-floor bedroom. But it posed no problems for us. And with so limited parking on the island, it is wonderful to have an assigned parking spot. When we decide to return to Key West, I'll look for this property first.

So glad you had a good time! Thank you very much for that review. We'll be very happy to have you back!
I have to start by saying the community of the property location is fantastic. It is literally a 5-7 min golf cart ride to every thing we wanted to do the entire week! Check in was seamless, an extremely early check in time was granted, & communication was on point when it was needed. I had issues with the VRBO APP & did not receive the info but the host was great.In relating it to me when asked. This was our first trip to KeyWest & we will be back! Only negatives which are no fault to the host is the pool is very subpar for the location, construction was happening daily & 2-3 times a day we would be rerouted to alternant entry gates & detours which was frustrating. The community is beyond beautiful & extremely safe as we are not always use to that when vacationing. We would definitely stay here again!
