Key West is awesome

Excellent location, quite complex. Walking distance from end to end of Duval street, waterfront beach and plenty of close restaurants. Parking is horrible you will need to be creative and aggressive but not disrespectful of the locals.

Last years review I noted a few things that had dropped in quality from the previous year and I was very impressed to see all these items had been addressed upon our arrival this year. Already booked for next year.

The most handsome 1 bed room condo in Truman Annex

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is lovely and has beautiful mill work and built-ins. The kitchen and bathroom are tasteful and appear brand new. One drawback is the noisy owner across from the front patio. She talks loudly during quiet hours. She also had grandchildren visit who were outside yelling from dawn to dust. On the backside of the unit is a neighbor with an air conditioner that sounds like a plane taking off. The unit is gorgeous but the neighbors are less than one would desire.

Great location, disappointing unit

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, but the unit left much to be desired. Upon arrival, it was SO hot in the unit.The toilet was running every 5 minutes and every time the tank refilled, it sounded like jackhammers were going off in the wall. Maintenance came to fix the toilet flap, but didn’t replace the valve that made the entire place rumble. It only happened when we flushed after his visit, so it was bearable and we don’t want to make a fuss. The bigger issue was the heat. Every time we would come in for the evening, it was a sweltering 80+ degrees. The battery on the thermostat was low, so it was hard to see the screen. We thought maybe we’d done something wrong. By the time we figured out that the actual thermostat was resetting itself to 86 degrees all by itself everyday, it was the weekend and the office was closed with no answering service. Super annoying.We have stayed in other units in this complex before and never had any issues. This visit was the most expensive and most disappointing.I would recommend this property, but can’t recommend units maintained by Compass Realty. *Also, their requirement to pick up and drop off keys with nowhere to park during the process certainly didn’t make things any easier.

Our November Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not one of the better properties we have stayed in. The kitchen was not as clean as it should have been. The microwave tray was not cleaned and there was grease on the stove. The furniture was not comfortable, the decks were not appealing and thewalls had not sounding proofing. One night in the early morning hours we heard the neighbors throwing up, another early morning we heard them arguing and another early morning they were singing.

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 second stay at the Royal Poinciana and we enjoyed our time there. It is very convenient to all attractions. You can easily walk to Fort Zach but I would suggest you bring some beach chairs if desired as the ones provided were in need of upgrade. Also cooking equipment and bed linens were lacking from the previous year. With that said we booked again for next year and hope the 25 percent increase will help rectify these minor issues.
