This was our second stay at this property. Still a great fit for what we were looking for in a relaxing vacation. We love being so close to the pool and all of activities in Old Town are within walking distance. Already dreaming about our next stay!
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.
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 property is exactly as described, and perfect for 2 couples or friends. The location within Truman Annex is great too, right next to the pool, and easy access to Southard (while still being in a quiet location). From there, it is just a couple short blocks to Duval. Check in and check out instructions were clear, and the owner was very communicative and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again, and will recommend this place to friends and family
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.
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.
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.

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!
Starfish is absolutely fantastic. I can't think of anything else that is needed. All the amenities are provided for. I will absolutely stay here in the future.
This property was amazing and was exactly as described. Patty was a fantastic and caring host who had thought of everything. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. It was within walking distance of everything. We will be returning!
Starfish was beautiful! Owner of the property was extremely accommodating. Wonderful location.
The whole rental experience was a very easy process. Patty explained everything about the property and made us feel extremely comfortable. Great location within walking distance to all attractions in Key West. Would highly recommend this location!
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.
The property was perfect. Clean and pretty. Pool right outside the back patio and a perfect location. Patty was really kind and helpful when our trip got messy due to cancelled flights. We will definitely stay at the Starfish again next time we are in Key West!
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. Patty was a wonderful and attentive host. We have already booked for next year !
