Excellent Stay, Perfect Location

The owner of Starfish was super kind and helpful. You cannot beat this location--we walked to the beach, Mallory square, the harbor, great restaurants, fun bars, absolutely everywhere we wanted to go. The heated pool right by the patio was wonderful to.

Enjoyed Key West

We really enjoyed our first visit to Key West and essential to that was staying at our Starfish location. The home was very comfortable, had everything we needed and was in a great location to walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Our host Patty was very welcoming and responsive to anything we needed, even having a replacement coffee maker dropped off the same day we mentioned having a problem! We definitely hope to return and enjoy another stay.

The condo is wonderful and the owners have thought of every detail. This is the best equipped rental I have experienced in Key West. The owners were proactive and checked in to make sure everything was perfect. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Beautiful property

Loved the way each room was decorated, very nice. Liked the location of the Truman Annex. We knew about one challenge: bedrooms upstairs and the only bathrooms upstairs. But we didn't know about the very tight spot to get in and out of the "garage" space, very difficult with a full size car.If we were to stay in Truman Annex again, we would want a unit with a downstairs lav.

A Perfect Stay in the Heart of Key West! We recently spent an unforgettable week at a beautiful townhome in the Truman Annex, and we couldn't be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, Patty—the owner—went above and beyond to make sure our stay was seamless and enjoyable. Her warmth, attentiveness, and hospitality truly made us feel right at home. The townhome itself was immaculate and thoughtfully appointed. Every detail had been carefully considered to ensure guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. The kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked with everything you could possibly need, which made dining in a breeze. It’s clear that a lot of care went into creating a space that is both functional and welcoming. The accommodations were top-notch—clean, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. We were especially impressed with the extra touches, like umbrellas and ponchos thoughtfully provided for those unexpected rainy Key West afternoons. These little amenities made a big difference and are just one example of the many ways this property stands out. The Truman Annex location is unbeatable—peaceful and secure, yet just a short walk to all the excitement of Duval Street, the marina, and the island's top attractions. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Patty, for sharing your wonderful home with us and for making our Key West vacation truly special!

Perfect birthday celebration rental

Perfect location, perfect house, and perfect place for a 60th birthday celebration. Words cannot describe how much the owner has made this property a little piece of paradise. Our first time in Key West and we had a beyond fantastic week, even on my husband’s birthday that was on the day Hurricane Helene happened. My husband was surprised with a birthday gift on arrival. We definitely give this place and owners a 10 out of 10.

I have stayed in Key West numerous times over the past 20 years ~ hands down, this was the best. Perfect location within walking distance of tons of things, beautifully appointed, fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds ~ I could go on and on. You will definitely not be disappointed.

Starfish is our favorite!

When we plan trips to Key West, we check on the availability of Starfish first. This unit is spotless, comfortable and well-appointed. The owner is extremely responsive and helpful. It's an end-unit (less noise than when you are sandwiched between two other units), and the pool is easy to see and access from the back door/patio. We love that it is so peaceful in Truman Annex but also so convenient to all the "action" of Key West. Everything is a quick walk or bike ride away. Excellent spot.

Christmas 2022

Having vacationed in Key West many times, we were very excited to return after 7 years. We have stayed in Truman Annex prior but closer to Mallory Pier This location was great especially since it was a five minute walk to our favorite restaurant Santiago’ s Bodega. The townhome was perfect Scott and Patty did a fantastic job with all the details! If you wanted to cook the kitchen was well equipped! If only the weather cooperated!

Perfect for a Stay in Key West

This was our fourth stay in the Truman Annex. We found Sunny Townhome to be more than we anticipated from the description in the rental listing. The location was convenient to the pool, the Old Town restaurants, shops and sights, the beach at Zachary Taylor State Park, but still sheltered from traffic noise on Southard. The owners were organized, thoughtful and helpful, even providing phone numbers for assistance while they were away. The kitchen and baths in the house had been beautifully remodeled. We found them well-stocked. The furniture was in good shape and everything was clean and well taken care of. The patio was a favorite place to sit in the afternoon. Our favorite places in Key West include - Old Town Bakery (a good walk in the morning) - Zachary Taylor State Park (a bike ride away) - Green Parrot (for good music) - and for eats, Blue Heaven, Santiago's Bodega, La Creperie, Half Shell Raw Bar and BO's Fish Wagon Sunny Townhome is a great fit for the best Key West has to offer.

A Picture Perfect Property

First 5 star review I've given but this updated property fulfilled every aspect of their description and earned it. The place is exactly as the pictures portray. We walked to all the main attractions like museums, the pier, Hemingway's house, the marina to catch boat rides, Truman's "Little White House", Mallory Sq and tons of bars. The place was very clean, well-maintained and stocked. There's a fully equipped kitchen, 4 cabled TVs, WI-fi, and plenty of small traveler's conveniences such as beach towels, beach bag, hair dryer, washer/dryer, detergent, hangers, etc. The outside spaces rock and we took advantage of all of them. They are fully functional with chairs and the enclosed back patio includes a grill, extra chairs, a large hi-top table, outdoor fans and a beautifully landscaped garden. We were two couples and found the downstairs living area spacious for our social gatherings and the upstairs bedrooms private. The owners were responsive and courteous when booking. I have used this site for more than 10 vacation bookings and this place is a fab vacation rental ranked at THE top of my list. Snatch this place up if you're considering Key West. I highly recommend the Truman Annex area and in particular, this "Sunny Townhome".

Wonderful Stay

Starfish is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The hosts are amazing with communicating check-in and check-out times/flexibility and providing great recommendations for the Key West area. The location is amazing - an easy walk to Duval Street and a comfortable walk to the state park where we enjoyed the beach and yoga on the beach. There are upgraded appliances and everything you need for an amazing stay (beach towels, beach bags, etc.). We truly loved our stay and hope to return.

Our April/May wonderful week at Starfish

We absolutely loved the Starfish townhome! It had everything that we could have ever wanted/needed for our stay: Fully equiped kitchen, washer dryer, 2 balconies upstairs and a patio downstairs-all with chairs/lounger, a grill, beach bags, beach towels, even 2 beach chairs that previous renters had left that we took with us every day to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park/beach. We loved the pass it along cabinet-what a great idea! Great location too! Close to the beach and just 1-2 blocks from Duval and many of our favorite restaurants! We walked/biked everywhere! Patty was always available to answer our questions, both when deciding to book and during our stay in Key West. We would definitely stay here again!
