Beautiful and well maintained

We loved our stay at Isle be Back! It felt like it was actually built and maintained with quality materials unlike most nightly rentals. Communication with the property manager was excellent. She actually contacted me and made sure that I knew all of the important information about the unit and the area.

Perfect Location

What a perfect location to stay. Close to Duval. Close to Fort Zachary Beach which in my option is the best. Each there. At the Truman annex is a much better place to see the sunset then Malloy square. It was in walking distance from the place. The place was clean and updated. I will be booking again.

A Very Merry Christmas in Key West

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Key West at a compass realty property. The description is accurate and the location is great! We requested service for a tv in one of the bedrooms which was provided promptly. We also requested dish towels and they were also delivered promptly. We suggest attention to the patio doorknob.

Love Truman annex

Truman annex is the best place to stay for fantasy fest week. You can walk anywhere or take the bus, no need for a rental car. The pools are great. Love having a balcony with our room. The rental was lovely and very clean. The only problem was the closet door in one bedroom was broken. Other than that it was great. All amenities provided in kitchen and bath. This place was great.

The condo is beautifully modern and clean.

We loved the location of the complex. We rented bikes for the week and rode them everywhere. We took advantage of the pool as well which was nice to have in case of a chance of rain. My only complaint was that we did not have full control of the a/c so we had to sleep with the bedroom door open at night until it cooled down enough. It just wouldn’t get as cool as we liked.

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: This rental was in a great location, we could have walked anywhere we wanted. The condo was decently priced for our stay. It is very cute and had a lot of amenities and very clean. Compass Reality were very helpful with whatever questions we had. The only downside was the mattresses were pretty firm but a lot of people prefer that. I would definitely recommend this property!

Girls Trip

Location is perfect. The condo was just right for the two of us. There were a few things we did expect (because we’ve stayed in other VRBO condos) a cooler would have been nice [we left you a styrofoam one] dish towels and maybe better stocked salt/pepper/sugar - kitchen essentials. The parking is a little confusing-if it wasn’t for someone in the complex we might not have found the right spot. We would definitely consider coming back. Thank you!
