Property Description

Discounts for OPEN dates in JANUARY!

The Keys boast some of the most charming and highly rated vacation homes in the world. Truman House, a 1920s Conch home, has four spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a stunning pool, and other amenities that easily qualify for the list. This classic home is pet-friendly and is conveniently located in a quiet residential neighborhood within easy walking distance to all the "must do's" listed in your Key West guidebook.
Truman House's design mantra must have been this: All doors should lead to the poolside. This area is overlooked by even the master bedroom balcony on the second floor. This private rear yard is paradise. It begins with a natural wood deck and one section under an overhang that shades six cushioned chairs and a glass-top dining table. In the next section, chaise lounges and chairs are scattered throughout the open space. Three steps further down you will find tile decking. A delightful pergola is located to one side. A white tarpon sculpture with round fish eyes and open lips stands at the other end of the heated oversized spa and pool. The area is surrounded by tropical foliage, which creates privacy and beauty. You can swim, float, relax, lounge, grill, or eat al fresco on the deck table. Perhaps include a glass of wine. There are many ways to enjoy your vacation in the way that you choose.
Let's be realistic, you can't spend your entire time outside. Truman House has a bright, spacious interior with high ceilings. It also features a tropical color palette. The great room is located right inside the front door. It includes a rectangular table, six spindle-back chairs and cushions. A large hutch is located nearby for dishes and other knickknacks. The area rug below picks out the Key Lime green walls. This area flows into the living room, which is also defined by an area rug on antique wide-plank flooring. A large sofa with three armchairs and a large sleeper sofa form a great conversation space. Enjoy your family and friends by sitting here. Perhaps you're looking for a game of cards with a glass of lemonade or ice tea. You might prefer to use the family area on the opposite side of the kitchen for social events. The living space is lit by windows and lamps, and Florida-themed wall art adds interest and color. A ceiling fan with paddles and light whirrs that spin above the ceiling will add circulation, brightness, as well as tropical atmosphere.
A small bedroom with twin beds and a dresser with four drawers is located directly behind the living area. The laundry room is accessible via a door at one end. This leads to the pool area. The gourmet kitchen is next, with lots of white cabinetry and butcher-block islands. Finally, there's an eat-in corner. This room has walls that are the color of a grove-fresh Orange. You'll find all the appliances you need, neatly organized with ample counter space for food preparation. From here, glass doors open wide to the deck and pool. The views are breathtaking, and the warm weather is a bonus. The kitchen is so inviting that you may find yourself cooking more than you intended during your vacation.
The family room is located next to the kitchen, and it has been painted in fresh lemony. The living room includes a sofa, armchairs and a coffee table. There is also cable, wireless high speed Internet, stereo and a DVD player. Three walls have windows that offer views of the garden, while one wall has French doors that open to the deck and pool. The second floor contains two guest bedrooms. The first bedroom has a king-sized bed and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has twin beds and a full bath that is just steps away. It is conveniently located between the bedroom and dining room.
The master suite is located at the top of the gleaming hardwood staircase. The master suite begins with a small, cedar-lined area that has a walk-in closet. This is a unique amenity in Key West. Eight people could actually walk in at the same time and stay there. The master suite is on the second floor. The master suite has plenty of windows and features a queen-sized bed, dresser, side table, and a full bathroom with striking ocean blue tile. The French doors lead to a small deck with two chairs and a table that overlooks the pool, Jacuzzi and tropical garden. You might want to explore each of the four bedrooms, or perhaps you know which one you like best. This home is pet (Dog) friendly** (please see below and our FAQ page for restrictions).
Everything is easily accessible from your home and around Key West. Just four streets away is the Historic Seaport. You can find tall ships that offer day and sunset cruises along the Gulf of Mexico boardwalk. Or you can take an all-day ferry excursion into the Dry Tortugas. There are many watersports available, including parasailing, diving, snorkeling, fishing, and jet skiing. There are a dozen restaurants that offer varying degrees of informality around the harbor. Stop by Schooner Wharf for a fresh Mahi sandwich or BO's Fish Wagon to listen to local musicians. Continue on to Mallory Square, where locals and visitors alike gather to watch the sun sink into the horizon. Enjoy the party with street performers and artists. If you're looking for tours, museums, shopping, more than 200 restaurants, and bars, Mallory Square is just two blocks away. Two beaches are within easy biking distance if you're looking for them.
