The Rooster Retreat is a lovely two bedroom, one bathroom ground floor end unit with a spacious backyard deck.
The master bedroom offers one king size bed, ceiling fan, 55" TV and double french doors that open onto the back deck.
The queen bedroom offers natural light through the front window, ceiling fan and 55" TV.
The bathroom, located in the common area between the two bedrooms, offers a recently updated vanity and walk-in shower.

This unit is cleaned regularly by our local cleaning service and we are following CDC guidelines for cleaning/disinfectants. Read our reviews, we have always been known to have a spotless, clean place - and we've increased our care. Stay with us!

Being at the far end corner of the property, unit #175 boasts added privacy compared to neighboring units. Unique to this floor plan is the added natural light from the extra exterior wall and window. Enjoy the open kitchen to living room layout, large leather sectional and newly added 65" Sony TV. You will be just a short walk from Truman Water Front park and Coffee Butler Amphitheater. Pack a picnic and take a short bike ride to nearby Fort Zachary Beach.

This sunny ground floor condo is clean with well-appointed bedrooms, beautiful linens and art work. Enjoy the breeze on a cool night with open double french doors in the master bedroom. The newly remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops, thoughtfully placed lighting and seating for four is both stylish and functional. A washer/dryer are located within the unit for your convenience. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots & pans, dish towels and dish ware. Enjoy central air conditioning, on-site laundry and all the necessities for both long and short-term stays.

Relax at the Truman Annex Shipyard Pool - located within the property grounds.
Our condo is outfitted with beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, etc. We also have designated on-site parking, although it's likely you will not need (or want) to get in your car while you're here. We request a 7 night minimum, and try for a Saturday to Saturday schedule.

(Due to fire code ordinance, this condo is unable to have an outdoor grill, much like many other condos on the island.)

Thank you.

Great location

This condo is in a great location. It was close to the beach, shops, and restaurants but far enough from Duval to be nice and quiet. It was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Owners Marie and Tom were great and the self check-in was easy.

Met all our expectations

One of the nicest places we have stayed. Liked the privacy of the corner unit. Television and cable worked great. Very comfortable furniture. Back deck and foliage was very nice and we had a cute little lizard we named Runt come visit us every morning. Would love to stay here again!

Nice Location

We VRBO often and this was our first trip to Key West. The location of this property was great…most things within walking distance including our favorite restaurant Blue Heaven! It’s a must try! We liked that the community was gated and had a dedicated parking spot as parking around town can be challenging. The property manager was very accommodating. We would consider this place again when we come back to Key West for sure.

Beautiful 2 bedroom 1 bath condo

This 2 bedroom 1 bath condo was beautiful, homey, small, yet extremely cozy. The condo was stocked with many things to fit our needs from towels, sunscreen, and beach chairs to books and board games. This location is also very central to many places and just a few blocks from Duvall street. It was a delight to spend the week at the Truman Annex in this condo and I will definitely book again when I return to keywest in the future.

Perfect location

The price was great and the location was absolutely perfect. We were able to walk just about anywhere and rented a golf cart which I highly recommend as it makes it easier to go even further. Marie was very communicative and there was more than enough of everything needed. I have stayed in a VRBO in Ruskin and didn’t have towels as stated and cooking items. At the annex we had EVERYTHING. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Amazing Getaway!

Just got back from an amazing vacation at The Rooster Retreat. The attention to detail and cleanliness in the condo was refreshing to see! Centrally located just off Duval so you're still close enough if you wanted to walk. The condo has literally everything that you need and then some! Very impressing in working with Marie, providing any and all the information that you will need for your stay. Will definitely be returning next year!

Best Owner on VRBO, Best spot on Key West!

This condo was the absolute perfect location! We were able to be close enough to the action yet we came home to a quiet oasis. We walked everywhere...no need for cabs or cars! Marie is the most kind considerate owner I have ever rented from on VRBO! She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Loved having all the beach towels and chairs to use! You will not be disappointed with your stay at rooster retreat! I highly recommend staying here!!

great location

This was our first trip to Key West we are thrilled with our choice of places to stay. Not only is this condo warm and inviting, but we felt very safe in this gated area. The location is close to all the action, but also close to Zachary Park, swimming in the Gulf, and in the middle of beautiful walking and biking byways. We like the end unit because it has extra light. One thing we do have to mention, we were unaware that the roosters crow throughout the day - it was a blast

Needs some TLC

Due to A/C issues the unit was very musky smelling. Mold around the window in the living room, in the shower and in the washer. Unit definitely needs a little TLC. A/C issues was resolved the day before we departed.

Rooster Retreat

The Rooster Retreat accomodations were clean and appropriately furnished for our needs. All but one of our activities was within walking distance of the condo including Fort Zachary Beach. The owners of the condo provided chairs and beach towels which was a huge savings on rental of these items. If your a nature lover I would recommend the Botonical gardens and the Butterfly Conservatory. Like to cook? Get your fresh seafood and grill it on the deck of the condo.

EXCELLENT STAY

This was our first time to Key West and we could not of picked a better place to stay. The place was amazing!!! Perfect location near the beach and Duval Street. The owners our the unit were amazing. They made sure we had all our information and confirmed with us times and how to access the property. The place was VERY clean and well maintained and stocked with all the kitchen stuff you need. Was nice because they allow guests to leave stuff for other guests. We meet some people at our layover airport that were staying five doors down in the same complex and they loved our place. WE spent each morning on the patio just enjoying our time.

Great location; awesome time!

This was our first time using Homeaway so we were a little bit anxious about the process in general. Could not have been easier getting into the unit (even more hassle-free than staying at a hotel). We were with a group where the rest were staying a few blocks away at La Concha; every single one of them was jealous. Quiet but centrally located (two blocks away from Green Parrott)...it was definitely the best of both worlds. The patio in the back was a great place to relax before and after days and nights spent on Duval Street, fishing, jet skiis, etc. If you are considering the option of staying in a hotel near Duval vs. this unit, it is a no brainer. Stay here.

Very Nice and Up to Date

Marie and Tom were really great to work with. First time to use VRBO. Marie e-mailed us while we were there just to make sure we had everything we needed. Super nice. I told her when we left that the pillows were flat and she e-mailed me back that the cleaning lady would replace them. The beds were alittle firm for me. I like my beds softer. The condo is at the very end of the annex. We rented scooters. My wife loved them. The Truman Anex is a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are first class.

Fantastic Unit

We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely end unit. We have never stayed in New Town. This unit is in the heart of the downtown area. Walking distance to Duval Street. The owner and property manager were both very helpful. We spent most of our time in the back patio area. The back area is very private unlike most of the end units in Truman Annex. It backs up against the waterfront park so there are no neighbors behind the unit. This unit is also on an end next to a street that is not part of Truman Annex so there are no units on one side at all. I especially liked being so close to the Truman Waterfront Park. The unit has everything that is needed for eating in. We are looking forward to staying again next year.

Nicely appointed condo!

We stayed in Marie and Tom's condo the first week of December. Marie was very accommodating, easy to communicate with, and very helpful in recommending restaurants, etc. The condo is central located, a few blocks off Duval. We didn't rent a car, or bikes, so did a lot of walking! The best restaurants are just blocks away - Blue Heaven for the all around best dining experience, La Creperie for breakfast/lunch, Santiago Bodega for tapas, and Kelly's for happy hour and a beautiful dining garden (food good too!) The condo is immaculately kept, very nice furnishings - nice shower, comfortable beds, great ceiling fans. Although we didn't use it, the kitchen is nicely equipped. Being an artist, I appreciated a couple of pieces of original art on the walls - especially the roosters watercolor. BTW, there are lots of roosters running around this island - entertaining and beautiful. Can't wait to get to my easel! This is a great unit, great value, and great owners. Thank you, Marie and Tom!!

Great stay at Rooster Retreat!

Are you looking for a quiet retreat that's affordable and located in a walking distance of the popular Duval St., Mallory Square, or a beach? This retreat provides it all and is located within the heart of Key West. The couple that owns this wonderful condo really tries to ensure that you have a wonderful stay. The greatest thing for us besides the roosters was the grill. Key West isn't affordable when it comes to eating out, so we went out and bought groceries for the week to save money. While we were unsure of what was included in the condo, we were able to cook every meal without worrying about not having the proper supplies. It's also on a corner lot, which makes it more private because you don't have constant people walking by the condo (we walked by a lot of porches on our way). The condo also provides bikes which would be useful by we actually didn't use the bikes at all because we were able to walk everywhere within 5 minutes. We also drove to Ft. Zachary beach because it was cheaper and located right behind the condo. Overall, if you want an affordable condo with a peaceful stay located in the heart of Key West, then you found the right place. Don't forget to read the review book because it provides a lot of ideas of things to do. Blue heaven is right down the street but be prepared to pay a hefty price!
