Property Description

This condo is a cozy two-bedroom, one bathroom unit that is hidden behind wrought-iron gates and down a winding path. The Shipyard is Old Town's premier gated waterfront community. It is part of the Truman Annex neighborhood. The Annex has a park-like feel thanks to its manicured landscaping, verdant trees, and white picket fencing. You might see exotic birds, such as the snowy egret, taking a walk in the Shipyard gardens. It's hard to believe that Duval Street is only two blocks away from all this tranquility.
A condo is located below and above the Shipyard's two-story white wooden structure. Yours is higher and has front and back balconies. Either one is perfect for enjoying sweet weather, a cup or coffee, or a book or newspaper. A heated pool and spacious patio are just steps away if you want to take a dip. The "Shipyard Residents Only Pool Area" offers chaise lounges, high speed internet, bathrooms, and a shower for your comfort and convenience. The sun and sea breezes of Fort Zachary Taylor can be found in the nearby neighborhood. You can enjoy a sandwich and a beer at the snack bar, or rent an umbrella with chairs to see the world of jet skiers, divers, swimmers, sailors, kayakers and kayakers passing by.
But wait! You aren't unpacked yet. You will enter your vacation home via the front porch. Once you have unlocked the door to your right, head up the carpeted staircase. The living room, kitchen, and dining area are all openly located at the top. The back door of the kitchen opens onto the front balcony, while the living room door leads you to the back balcony. The galley kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal on the stove. There is plenty of storage space above, and each appliance can be found below.
The dining area is located next to the kitchen and features a round, glass-topped, glass-topped table with colorful table linens and four chairs. From here, you can take in the views from the French doors leading to the back balcony. The view is stunning with the blue sky and palm trees beyond. You can also eat outside on the balcony's dining room table and chairs. The living room features a bamboo sofa, coffee table, armchair, and armchair in the same warm honey color as Travertine tile floors. The walls are decorated with tropical fish and other colorful creatures. The fan, called a "Casablanca", circulates air through the room. White ceiling fans cool all rooms, regardless of whether central air conditioning is used. A corner-situated TV allows for easy viewing from a chair or couch. You need more seating? You can bring in additional seating by bringing in the dining room chairs.
The master bedroom is located just off the living/dining room. It features a queen-sized bed, chest of drawers and wall-mounted TV. There's also a full bathroom and a second bedroom with twin bunk beds. You will find plenty of storage space in each bedroom for your flip-flops and shorts, swimwear or sunglasses, camera, hat, or other personal items.
Once you have settled in, you can enjoy the free-spirited fun on America's only Caribbean Island. It is located at the Historic Seaport, Duval, at Southmost Point, and at the beaches along Atlantic. You can find tours, museums and water sports as well as shopping and bars. There are also over 200 restaurants with open-air seating. Your condo includes reserved parking, but you don't need one. Everything is easily accessible from your central location by foot, bicycle, pedicab or taxi. Strolling Duval, it is possible to pose for a photo with a pirate or a six-foot-tall drag Queen, a Hemingway-like look-alike, or even Jimmy Buffet.
After you're done with the day, go back to your condo and relax. The Green Parrot offers live music, a libation and free popcorn to writers, artists, residents, and visitors. It's located at the corner of Southard & Whitehead, the first and last bar on Highway 1. It's right next to the Shipyard.
Historic Hideaways' Events page is a great place to find out what's happening every day. Paradise, which is published every Thursday, has additional information about the current music scene, movies and plays, gallery openings and charitable events.
