This house location is stunning. The sunsets were fabulous. And close to many of the 'must see' places in Key West.
The house has a great set up. The pool was a real plus for the kids.
Property management was on top of any requests - what more could you ask for.
This property merits the reviews it receives. Thank you for a great week! We will be back!

This was the perfect location for a memorable Key West vacation for my wife and I as well as our two adult children. Gorgeous water views from the house, plus it was walking distance to the beach and Duval St. Nancy was a great host, and we would highly recommend staying here.

Had a wonderful stay at the Dolphin Watch. We are 6 adults and had plenty of room and seating inside and out for all of us.
Nancy was quick to reply to questions and any issues we had.
Thank you so much for a rememberable trip!

This property did not disappoint. The Truman Annex location was perfect for our needs. The house decor was lovely. Plenty of room to spread out in, pool area private and quiet. Beautiful landscaping was mature and lush, but it was the view from the second floor balcony that we enjoyed the most. Would we come back,again ,to stay at Dolphin Watch in a heartbeat.

Location location location, Truman’s Annex is the best location in Key West! The layout of the house is fine and has very efficiently utilized space. The pool is nice, however the pool decking needs repair in a few places. The mattresses, bedding and pillows in the king rooms are terrible and needs replacing. There are a couple of tiles that are cracked and noted with blue construction tape. Overall we had a great trip, however I would ensure upgraded bedding before I booked this home again.

Spent a week at Dolphin Watch with my parents, siblings, and niece. We absolutely loved the rental!! Couldn’t beat the location; close to everything in old town, right on the Truman waterfront, but quiet. Well outfitted, we weren’t missing anything, and my niece (8) could hardly be coaxed out of the pool. Property manager was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend.

We go to Key West a few times a year but had not stayed in the Truman Annex before. It is really nice and more quite than other locations. This house has the extra attraction of a view of the water from the second floor deck. We had a great time as always and this house is a great place to stay when you want quite at night and still close to all the fun on Duval.

The home was perfect for us and our friends. Love the easy walk to any part of Duval, in addition to the park/exercise trial by the water! Daily pool time was a must and the views from the upper deck were spectacular.

Excellent location to the entertainment of Key West. A beautiful view of the sunsets every night. This place had everything we needed in the kitchen to make our stay easy. We also enjoyed the heated pool for our relaxing days.

Beautiful place and house. Pool was nice after long day of walking. Host was responsive after the next door property had palm tree trimming from a service using a chain saw. They got dust in the pool but host was persistent in getting pool cleaned. Wasn’t the fault of the owner but it was appreciated. Very comfortable stay!
5.0
Super unique property for Key West. Property backs up against a park with direct water views but located inside the safe / quiet Truman Annex. Convenient access to Duval and Mallory Square - house itself is probably nicer than the pictures with a cool mix between Key West charm and updated finishes. The pool was mostly shaded, which was perfect for our two young kids. Property manager was terrific to communicate with. It’s worth booking and will look for this property the next time we return.

This property was perfect for our family! There is so much space that we could all have our own area while also having a wonderful living room space to play board games and watch movies. The balcony porch was the perfect spot to sit in the morning with coffee and to watch the cruise ships come in and out of the port. The pool was a great addition in the heat of Florida and everything was within walking distance from the house!
A couple of notes:
- We used the grill a couple times and noticed that it was low on propane. This is not concerning though because Nancy was amazing to work with and I'm sure if we would have run out of propane she would have had the tank replaced.
- If you plan to cook and use the coffee maker in the kitchen, make sure you get the essentials before arriving! There were no coffee filters, oil/oil sprays, salt, pepper, etc.
Overall, it was the perfect property for our family celebrating our parents' 30th anniversary and we definitely plan to come back!!

Everything about this home was as advertised and it is in an absolutely spectacular location.
We were a group of adult couples; no one felt crowded and there was plenty of space to stretch out. Everything was clean, the pool was well maintained, and everything in the kitchen worked as it should. There were plenty of sheets, pillows, and towels (both pool and bath) to go around.
Lastly, our host Nancy was a pleasure to deal with. We didnt have any needs during our stay, but the booking process and all of our questions were addressed timely and professionally. This is my first rental-by-owner experience and she has set a high bar for future people to live up to.
