My husband and I spent a little over a week here exploring Key West. We loved the pool and the closeness to everything. The grounds were beautiful and we made friends with the lizards.

Reviewer Comments:
We love Key West and aim to attend Fantasy Fest each year. This was our first time renting this condo. Overall the location is great, easy walking distance to Duval, however we found it sparsely equipped in the kitchen, the only bed filled the room, and there is no patio cover , or heavy drape so the sun heats up the living space. The shower head is fabulous!

Nice stay
Enjoyed the property and location to area activities. Place was clean. Wish I was given more complete check in instructions
The owner was great to work with from reservation to checkout. The location of the unit is perfect for a stay in Key West, easy walk or Duval Loop bus to all locations. The complex is tropical and well maintained, we loved sitting on the porch watching the activities below us. Pool less than a minute walk. Short 1/2 mile walk to the state park beach with new sand. Hopefully after Jan 1st they can still rent weekly. Thanks Pam for a great stay!
This 1 bedroom gem in the best location on the island did everything we needed. It even had free bikes included! Beautiful kitchen. Clean and had a strong AC unit. Nicely done bathroom. The only small nit picks I could maybe say is that the tv’s are older and don’t have smart TV capability. And the bed could’ve been a bit softer. But we had a fantastic time. No real complaints here! The closet was stocked with beach chairs, bike chains, extra sun tan lotion. Would absolutely re rent here!
My wife and i stayed here for a week and it was great. The check-in process was seamless. The location was perfect. Newer appliances and bathroom was everything we could ask for. We will definitely stay here again.

Had no real problems. Communicated with rental company via email. Good instructions on how to check in & check out. Very nice place. Small but that’s all we needed. Only minor issue was the amount of construction going on. Sidewalks closed. Looking forward to returning next year
Although the location was good and the kitchen and the bathroom were new, the living room furniture is worn and should be on the curb. The bed mattress should also be tossed! did not get a good nights sleep in the whole week we there.
The apartment is very well appointed and spacious. The bed is comfy, the kitchen well stocked for cooking, and everything is really close.Lovely to be able to take a walk to see the ocean, just minutes away, or pop up to Duval, which is just 5 minutes away.The deck and pool are very sunny too

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was nice, clean and modern, with a comfortable bed. It would have been nice to have more dishes though.
The most convenient place to stay to take advantage of beach and town. It’s a beautiful and quiet area of condos. Just a couple of suggestions: 1. The listing said that we would have bikes which we did, but without baskets on them they were worthless for a ride to the beach. If we had backpacks we could have managed, but we did not. Also there were no locks for the bikes. We did not want to have them stolen and be held accountable 2. The front porch had a very bright light which we could not turn off. It shone directly into the bedroom window. The blinds on the window did little to keep out the light. Fortunately there was a curtain rod above the window and we hung a blanket from it. 3. The back deck was mostly I useable during daylight hours. There was no table umbrella to block direct sun
We enjoyed staying at the Southard Pearl in Key West Truman Annex. We stay stay in Truman Annex every year during the October Trop Rock event. Great music and great fun.
The property was quiet and well maintained. The stay was truncated due to maintenance on adjoining properties. For a 1-bedroom property it has plenty of space, and great appliances.
Our last Key West vacation was 2007. When I priced out week stay at same hotel the prices were insane so checked out VRBO and found the perfect accommodation. The condo provided the privacy we prefer, and the unit fit our style perfectly. We rented a golf cart for the whole week and covered every inch of key west . We even took several trips over to Stock Island for Kayak tour. We especially liked the community swimming pool and the property management staff.

We loved our stay in Oyster’s Pearl! The updated kitchen was truly gorgeous! Beautiful colors! I loved the updated bathroom with a magnifying mirror in the cabinet too! Lovely unit. The Truman Annex is the best location on the island. We will definitely book this unit again!

My husband and I just spent a week at Oyster's Pearl and LOVED every second! The rental company is super informative, close by and attentive. The property is clean, stocked with everything that we needed, super comfortable bed, had 2 bikes, beach chairs and close to all the activities that we were into. The pool is awesome and Truman Annex is safe, clean and beautiful! We can't wait to book our next trip to Key West and stay there again!
