Forever Young at The Truman Annex in Key West
This Harbour Place condominium is in Key West's most prestigious community of Truman Annex offering breath taking water and sunset views from the large and luxurious pool area. This beautifully decorated stately Condo has wonderful views of the Truman's Little White House Museum grounds where United States Presidents and many other world wide heads of state have come throughout history to speak or even stay. There are often weddings and other important ceremonies under the huge presidential shade trees. The balcony has some limited water views along the length of the historic administration building. This community is located 2 blocks from Duval Street and all of the Old Town Key West attractions. The properties are also located mile from one of the best beaches on the island. This unique property is outfitted with washer/dryer, pots and pans, towels, linens, central air conditioning, covered off street parking and a gorgeous waterfront pool.
Please note: The minimum rental period is 29 nights/30 days, except for February, which is 28 nights.
My second time staying in 20 years using Compass Realty and staying at Truman Annex was just as nice as I remembered. The condo was clean, and everyone in our group had a wonderful stay. We loved the view of the water and Truman Park from the balcony, which was just as beautiful at night as during the day. The area was always very quiet and calm-a big contrast to the action only two blocks away on Duval Street. We rented bicycles at WeCycle, which is located near the Annex entrance, as we didn't have a car. We biked or walked everywhere we needed to go in minutes: Fort Zachary Taylor, Higgs Beach, Sandy's, the Cemetery, and even the grocery store.
The name Forever Young is quite misleading. There are many rules in this complex. We were reprimanded by our neighbor on the first day in the hallway for being noisy. We were talking as we were entering our condo! Quiet hours are after 9pm. Pool closes at dusk. Kind of difficult to watch the place next door having so much fun in their pool nightly. You can hear it throughout the evening. Wonder how my neighbor feels about that.
There is a sign on the livingroom table that tells you to keep your partying to Duval.
There's a sign by the thermostat not to put air below 74° degrees. The unit will freeze and you'll be responsible for the charges. However, it can become quite warm in the condo. The ceiling fans are all so noisy you cannot sleep with them on.
The bathrooms fans are also very loud!
Except for livingroom and kitchen, the rest of the condo needs updating. Especially the guestroom and hallway bathroom. There's peeling paint, cracked tiles, dirty grout, and the towel rack is about to fall off.
The guest bedroom is very small. The one bed is up against the closet which makes it difficult to open. Door falls off easily too.
We woke up to no water in the condo for several hours. When I called the rental company they didn't seem to know anything about it. But after speaking to the plumber outside he said the building was notified the week before. Water was turned off again for testing a few days later. Again we weren't notified.
We paid a very high cleaning fee for a 2 bedroom condo. We stayed 2 weeks and never saw a cleaning lady. The floors were filthy when we got there.
The best part about the condo is the location and the pool. You can watch the sunset when you go out the back of the building. Our balcony faced the side of the next building where they stored their gardening tools and extra chairs. The balcony is very narrow and could use a good cleaning!
The pool was large and had a great view. We met some nice people.
We would not stay in The Harbours again. It's definitely for a much older crowd. The full time residents don't seem to like having the condos rented out. That's just my opinion. However, we do love The Truman Annex and would go back to staying in the townhouses.

This property was in a perfect locationâŠwalking distance to everything. Very spacious and nice condo. Only concern was that you were locked in on the premises and had to have keys for everything. Our keys did not work well for all gates and it wouldâve been helpful if they were labeled. Other than that, we loved this condo and the property!
Pros: This unit was extremely clean and comfortable. The location could not have been better. Pool was warm and enjoyable. We would gladly stay here again.
Cons: There was no toilet paper when we arrived. There were only a few wash cloths. We had some trouble getting our parking pass. No one was at the guard shack when we arrived and when we called the posted number the person told me to "come back tomorrow". I went back a few hours later and there was a different person working who gave me the pass. There is always a guard there at night. Texts and phone calls to the renter with questions were never returned.
Great spacious living and sleeping areas. Great bathrooms, soak jet tub and showers. Third half bath was handy. Great amenities in the kitchen. Pool and views were breathtaking. Only criticism: They were unfortunately doing some construction in the condo above us the week we were there but that Iâm sure couldnât be foreseen or advertised by the lister. We did also book an extra day that was astronomically expensive considering the condo wasnât booked for the next week. We figured theyâd want to make a little money for an extra day than no money at all, we were wrong.
Overall great experience from booking to checkout! Thank you Compass Realty and VRBO!!
We had 5 adults and fit comfortably. It was great to have a full kitchen and washer/dryer. There were more features than what was listed. The location was walking distance of all the key tourist attractions, but not too noisy at night. Also had some great extras like beach towels, folding chairs and cooler that were handy for a beach vacation. Would absolutely recommend.
Condo is a short walk to Duvall, close to the pier and the only good beach on the island. Would have liked a key to get through the gate directly to pier instead of walking around the corner but still super close so the location overall is very convenient. Condo is well set up with the 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bath, enjoyed having that extra bathroom. Mattresses were not the best and probably need replacing. The cleanliness of the place was mostly ok, minus light platesâ fingerprints and food smears, under the keurig weekâs worth of coffee stains, and the toilet that didnât get flushed after it had been used. They sent the maid back same day so response time was great, but in todayâs time of promised superior covid cleaning, we would have liked to not encounter those particular issues. But overall, we did enjoy our stay and it was a good condo.
Condo was in Fantastic location! Walking distance to 90% of every place we went. Great restaurants near by. My only disappointment was the lack of a grill. I would have loved to have grilled some fresh fish.
property was clean, quite, Condo had everything we needed and more. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Key West. It was close to restaurants, shopping and museums.
