Review of Southern Cross

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: The home, location, cleanliness of the house was great! The concierge team (especially Natalie) were on top of every detail and responsive with each question. My only disappointment was the condition of the pool and the tree constantly dropping leaves. We were constantly clearing leaves from the pool deck, furniture and the pool itself. Overall though a great stay!

Love the Southern Cross

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 month long rental at Southern Cross and love it! So far, our favorite long term rental in Key West (we've rented 2 other homes for month+ stays). Well equipped, comfortable layout, excellent location and we love the privacy of the pool area (can't wait for the construction at the home behind is finally over!) There are some spots that need a little TLC but nothing functional. Shanna is an amazing property manager (& we know as we own a vacation property management company on Cape Cod! She's GREAT! The whole team at Truman is great! Very helpful & kind)

Absolutely wonderful

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 house was perfect for our stay! We were able to walk everywhere. I like this location because it's not on Duval, but doesn't take long to walk there. It's also close to the pickleball courts, El Siboney, and the cemetery. The house is spacious. The laundry room is large and there is an amazing walk in closet in the master bedroom. I work from home and was able to find quiet places to work during the day with reliable internet. We only had a couple of very minor issues and the property manager took care of them same day! I would definitely recommend this home!

When you see the Southern Cross for the 1st time You understand

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: Loved it! We've rented with T&Co for 5 years now, 3 homes, this is by far the best. Great location, beautiful, comfortable & well appointed. LOVE the pool deck & cabana. We rarely got out of the pool, except to eat at the MANY amazing restaurants on island. Please fix the main TV though, we barely watch TV & when we tried to (watch) it was frustrating & nearly impossible. Otherwise, love the property & look forward to our return next January.

What a perfect, livable house

Unlike so many rentals that have limited amenities and/or space, this house is incredibly livable. Plenty of closet space and dressers for month+ long stays, lots of kitchen gadgets for cooking and drinking needs, extras like beach towels and chairs. The pool is very large for Key West and the yard a gorgeous oasis. The house is so beautifully decorated that my friends and Mom looked for certain items online for their own homes! We were working remotely from the house and the wifi was strong, and the small office in the pool house is excellent workspace. The property manager is very responsive, I was surprised to have a whole new pool heater installed within a week when we confirmed it wasn't working. This house was close enough to the Duval action but far enough away to feel like a neighborhood local. We rented bikes, which put pretty much the whole island in easy reach, but the southernmost point, restaurants, bars, and beaches are within spitting distance. The house comes with some welcome basics, but you will need to stock shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, cooking oils, coffee, etc. The driveway is REALLY tight, we could barely get a 4 person golf cart in, so if you have a car you'll likely need to park in the street. The third bedroom in the pool house is a bit more bare basics with storage, but the two main bedrooms are perfect. We shed a tear leaving after a month in this house. If you are lucky enough to see this house available, grab it while you can.
