Excellent Stay, Perfect Location

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.

Beautiful property

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.

Enjoyed Key West

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.

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.

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!
