Forever Young at The Truman Annex in Key West

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.

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: We loved our stay here! Quiet neighborhood and conveniently located. Our only issues were the master shower leaks and several of the light bulbs were burned out, but we would definitely stay here again!

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.

I would stay here again if visiting Key West!

This property was in a perfect location…walking 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 would’ve been helpful if they were labeled. Other than that, we loved this condo and the property!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The process of renting with Compass is great and we love the location, however, we would look for another property to rent the next time. The shower still leaks all over the bathroom floor, the remotes were missing batteries, the handles on the faucets were coming apart and the iron didn't work well.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in Forever Young numerous times. The unit is in a great location for us, however the unit needs some maintenance. The shower has leaked every time we've visited and needs to be fixed. The fixtures in the bathrooms are not working great and the sheets on the king size bed don't fit and were falling off every night. The top sheet was thread bare. We come down numerous times a year and for our next trip, we selected another unit to see if it's more updated. The staff at the rental office were excellent in all interactions. We had to call for a repair on the disposal and they were very accommodating.

Reviewer Comments: This property is well situated in Harbour Place in the Truman Annex and is very well appointed. The furnishings have been updated in the living room area.
