About this property
A Touch Of Cuba In Key West
Welcome to Conch Republic and the Shipyard section of the Truman Annex. You have many choices of accommodations and since I am not a real estate salesman or property manager, allow me let the photos and description speak for themselves. My oversized two bedroom, one bathroom condominium or casita as Cubans would call it, is located on picturesque Southard Street, the main entrance to the best location on the island, the Truman Annex where you can walk to just about everything you want to see or do. I am confident you would like this vacation home away from home. It is impeccably designed, meticulously maintained and you are surrounded with restful colors on the wall and art work from my many visits to Cuba on educational and humanitarian trips. I have everything you need for a worry free island vacation. Top mattresses, high thread linens, thirsty bath towels, large deep beach towels, high speed WIFI, reserved and secure parking and cable TV. Your comfort is my first priority and between my home itself and the large back deck shaded with a large umbrella, you can "rest" assured that you will enjoy your stay. The furniture and beds are very comfortable. The kitchen fully equipped from the Bosch dishwasher to the exotic micro wave and the Keurig coffee maker. Need a hair dryer? Got it. Iron? In above the large front loading washer and dryer. Beach chairs? On the large back deck. Ask me about other amenities. And yes, there is the mandatory blender. This is my personal home so I would like to deal with you directly on email and telephone before we make a booking. Guests must come and go on a Saturday for the most part. Now on to more detail. Oh one more thing. If your party is looking for additional space, check out my cottage five doors down which is # 361238 here on VRBO. BONUS OFFER I HAVE SOME NICE OPENINGS IN SUMMER AND FALL A ALLOW ME TO OFFER A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO ONE OF KEY WEST'S BEST RESTAURANT "BLUE HEAVEN"

About the host
Hosted by Jack Agnew
I've lived in Key West since 1999 spending a tad over a half year here and the rest in the Boston area where my two daughters and two granddaughters live. My career has ranged from being an early morning DJ in Cleveland, Ohio to a television career in Seattle, Memphis, San Francisco and Boston. Then I was a partner in a public relations firm in Boston that was purchased by a large international PR firm based in Paris. So my other career has been as a college professor, professional actor/singer and serving on such non profit boards as Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston; Big Sister Association, The Salvation Army and Metro West Legal Services. And of course renting out my two vacation homes in Key West, the other being #361238 here on VRBO. Come on down.
Why they chose this property
Ever since I took my two daughters camping on the keys, I have had TAE (Truman Annex Envy), I couldn't afford to buy down here but I visited on business trips and for vacations. When I sold my public relations company in 1999, I got on a plane the next week with my daughters and we purchased our first property in the Shipyard section of the Truman Annex. When the market peaked in 2005, we sold that unit and bought a cottage in Shipyard. Then in December of 2016, we saw an extraordinary end unit condominium come up for sale and after selling a property in Boston, we acquired this second unit where I am typing this information and called it "A Touch of Havana" to remind me of the many trips I have taken to Cuba on humanitarian and educational trips in the last 15 years.
What makes this property unique
Well some of the USP's (Unique Selling Propositions) are
1. As information loose leaf book with a rundown of everything you want to see and do as well as a map of Key West and a diagram of the Shipyard section of the Truman Annex so you know where everything is.
2. Special power ports to charge your cell phone or other electronics
3. This is among the largest of the two bedroom, one bath end units as my property on beautiful Southard Street was part of Phase 1 of the Truman Annex when it was built. Later units have a smaller footprint.
4. I deal directly with you the guest. No automatic electronic bookings, commissions, fees. We communicate before we each decide this will work and be a win win for both of us.
