Perfect birthday celebration rental
Perfect location, perfect house, and perfect place for a 60th birthday celebration. Words cannot describe how much the owner has made this property a little piece of paradise. Our first time in Key West and we had a beyond fantastic week, even on my husband’s birthday that was on the day Hurricane Helene happened. My husband was surprised with a birthday gift on arrival. We definitely give this place and owners a 10 out of 10.

Wonderful Stay
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.

Starfish is our favorite!
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.

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 !

Our April/May wonderful week at Starfish
We absolutely loved the Starfish townhome! It had everything that we could have ever wanted/needed for our stay: Fully equiped kitchen, washer dryer, 2 balconies upstairs and a patio downstairs-all with chairs/lounger, a grill, beach bags, beach towels, even 2 beach chairs that previous renters had left that we took with us every day to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park/beach. We loved the pass it along cabinet-what a great idea! Great location too! Close to the beach and just 1-2 blocks from Duval and many of our favorite restaurants! We walked/biked everywhere! Patty was always available to answer our questions, both when deciding to book and during our stay in Key West. We would definitely stay here again!

Having vacationed in Key West many times, we were very excited to return after 7 years. We have stayed in Truman Annex prior but closer to Mallory Pier This location was great especially since it was a five minute walk to our favorite restaurant Santiago’ s Bodega. The townhome was perfect Scott and Patty did a fantastic job with all the details! If you wanted to cook the kitchen was well equipped! If only the weather cooperated!

Sunrise to sunset perfect
Perfect location for quiet, breeze in the palms feel. Unit was clean and equipped with more than the expected (paper towels, kitchen trash bags, tissue, toilet paper, and proper cleaning items for stove top). Great communication with Scott and Patty, and authenticity for our enjoyment was felt! If you enjoy being close to the action (Duval), and just far away to have the quiet, to have an easy .5 mile walk to sunset and sunrise, Starfish is the perfect!

Truman Annex
This was a beautiful property and unit. Owners notified us of a washing machine breakdown before arrival, but had arrangements in place if we needed wash done. The 2nd day there, they already had a new washer delivered and installed for us. Everything was perfect. The ONLY complaint is the size of the parking stall. I know there was an assigned spot, and I squeezed in, but would have been in trouble if I had brought my F-150. Would definitely recommend.
