Key West Condos

We had a great trip to Key West 2 weeks ago. Loved our stay at the Harbor Inn.

I have now been tasked to try and find a 3-4 BR condo for next years trip. I would like to stay again at Harbor Inn but the thinking is it would be more affordable for the other couple we may bring if we went with a condo/house.

Could anyone offer any help in finding such a place? I would really like to stay as close to the ';Harbor Inn'; neighborhood as possible.

Key West Condos

Not terribly close (but on a small island, not terribly far either) from the Harbor House is the Truman Annex area near the Green Parrot. I%26#39;m bett%26#39;in lot%26#39;s of folks will chime in on these and a coup;le of other places.

Key West Condos

The Truman Annex has a lot of nice condos and houses to rent. There are several reputable real estate agencies who handle vacation properties all over Key West. I%26#39;ve used this particular agency with great success in the past:

i love house/condo renting. i can briefly feel like it%26#39;s home. have fun choosing


Whopper...

Our last trip in February we stayed in the annex. We had a 3 bedroom condo called Mango Dreams. For 6 people it was perfect, 2 of the 3 bedrooms had a balcony, private back deck with a grill, a shared pool, very tastefully decorated and clean!

NOT as close to the Harbor but we hung out in that area every day and did not mind the short walk...or stumble. (although when we return with just the 2 of us we plan to stay at the Harbor Inn)


Check out Coral Hammock, very reasonable 3 bedroom/3bath townhomes and is supposed to be very well maintained and spacious. We are staying there for our vacation starting May 28th! It was hard for me to find a 3/3 condo or townhome. It%26#39;s not within walking distance of Duval street however it%26#39;s been highly recommended to me.


Just stayed at Coral Hammock in early March- we were 5 people in a 3 bedroom/3bath unit.

It was a beautiful gated community-all modern conveniences, spotless and an awesome pool/pool area with clubhouse.

I believe we were in unit 20-well decorated with a washer/dryer-comes in very handy when staying a week.

Located at mm5 on Stock Island, Duval is mm0, so it%26#39;s a 10 minute ride-mostly due to traffic on 1 rather than distance.%26#39;

We would park in the dirt lot on Simonton just around the corner from Sloppy Joe%26#39;s for a flat rate of $10. They didn%26#39;t care if you were there until 4am. Cheaper and more convenient than the Old Town Parking Garage on Grinnell.


If you go to the Key West main website, you will find a list of many real estate agents that rent in Key West. I have tried several and been happy with all of them. Some of the homes and condos in Key West have a clause that does not let them rent for only a week. The websites will let you know which ones can be rented for a week or less.

Key West is a small island and any place can be reached by taxi within a few minutes depending on traffic. Renting a car in Key West is not usually a smart thing to do unless you plan on visiting the other Keys. Parking in Old Town is very limited and some of the parking lots have removable signs that they change according to the time of year,the weekend and sometimes just for the time of DAY. The Public Garage has fixed rates and is usually a better bargain in the long run.Or do what the natives do, ride a bike!


This is an interesting thread as I%26#39;m getting to the point, age wise and near retirement wise, where we might be able to spend a month or two in KW as opposed to our annual 10 day visit. What, on average, would be the monthly price for a basic condo in say the Truman annex? Thanks


Simkeith, I just checked out the website you recommended and that was very very helpful and informative!!
