Brooksville, FL, United StatesParadise Found in Key West
Left on 05/14/2013 for a stay in May 2013
We had a very good time in Key West and found the Condo to be very clean (although) it could use a little updating, but we were so busy we only used the kitchen for breakfast once, other then snacks, so it really did not matter to us, the location was perfect!!

The unit needs an upgrade - stove and microwave they are both outdated and gives the unit a poor appearance. the outdoor grill is outdated. Where is the propane? How do you get propane? Unit 299 washer overflowed into our hallway. May leave water mark on the ceiling. Water mark on bedroom ceiling. we have stayed in Unit 199 3 0r 4 times. Couch should be cleaned and broken leg repaired-or replaced.

The location if this property was perfect. It was close to Fort Zachary, Mallory Square and Duval Street. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of towels and chairs for the beach. The back deck was a great place to hang out before going to dinner. We would not recommend this unit because it needed a good cleaning, maintenance and updating. The lamp shades, fake plants and blinds were extremely dirty and the walls had dust strings hanging from them. This unit would be amazing if it had a good cleaning and was painted.

Left on 04/01/2013 for a stay in March 2013
Wonderful patio for relaxing, laying in the sun or enjoying shade, breakfast or other. Fully stocked kitchen to cook any meals you may want to have. Two bedrooms were just right for the 3 of us girls, but any more would have been too much. Fine for family of 4. Perfect location to walk to everywhere in Key West or get bikes to reach the outskirts. Pool at complex is nice and close. Secured within a gated community. We loved our stay and would stay here again. Only thing missing were beach/pool towels. We loved having a washer and dryer as well.

Left on 03/25/2013 for a stay in March 2013
Our two grown children from CA and my husband and I spent a fabulous week in Key West during March. The location of our unit in Truman Annex was absolutely perfect. We could leave the car and walk to everything, or ride our bikes, to restaurants on Duval St., to Mallory Square, to the harbor walk, etc. The unit worked very well for us and we would stay there again. It was a little bit "tired" - broken shelving in closet, baseboard strip in kitchen loose and falling off - but things seemed clean enough and the unit was furnished attractively and comfortably. The Truman Annex cannot be beaten for location and charm.

Left on 03/19/2013 for a stay in March 2013
We loved the location in Truman Annex and the area was very charming and well kept. Easy walking access to downtown Key West, even to Mallory Square, and to Fort Zachary and the beach. This condo is small, but we were fine with that. Only had a few complaints. Got there on Saturday and were out of paper towels and TP by Tuesday. The beds are hard and a bit uncomfortable. Finally, the grill was not clean, and the built up grease inside caught fire when we used it. Nothing major though. This unit has a very nice patio on the back. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely do it again.

St Joseph, MO, United Stateswe love the outdoor deck!!
Left on 03/04/2013 for a stay in March 2013
we have stayed at "paradise found" several times. we have always said it is a "paradise found'. the staff at "kwvpr" has always been very helpful and professional. our coffee pot went out one morning and that afternoon a new one arrived. we especially enjoy the very large outside area, not found in very many key west condos. new patio furniture to enjoy this year was a plus. the inside though could need a little attention. some of the closet inserts were broken and the most of the outlet covers needed replaced. the deck should be power washed soon. great walking to anywhere on duval street and ft. taylor. and a designated parking space..makes this an overall wonderful value. our key west home away from home!

Third stay and coming back! Management staff really friendly and very helpful! The property has the best location between Old Town and Zachary Taylor Park- great food and beautiful beach within walking distance! Patio good for "lazy" readers or sun. Furniture is very comfortable. Very clean, older unit that could use a little refreshing but that certainly doesn't keep us from coming back to Paradise Found!

Left on 01/28/2013 for a stay in January 2013
The condo is in a great location and is very well equipped. We felt that both TVs were too small for the size of the rooms and the chair in the living room was not comfortable for sitting for any length of time. We found it difficult to use the master bedroom as it was already filled with many objects.

Crowley,, Texas, United StatesKey West
Left on 01/14/2013 for a stay in January 2013
The best things about this condo were its location and how clean it was. Some of the rooms, like the bathroom, were small, but it was spotless. I would rather have smaller rooms that are clean! It was also a nice suprise to find everything we needed, even soaps, shampoos and a blow dryer. The kitchen also included everything necessary. The only things I would add would be some more hangers in the closets and aluminum foil in the kitchen. The worst thing about the condo was that the unit directly above us was being remodeled, so there was constant noise, starting at 7 a.m. The last two days were especially unpleasant because that unit was being repainted and the fumes were very strong. We would not have stayed there had we known that would be the case.
The property management company professionals were very friendly and helpful - the entire process was seamless because of them. One small suggestion - we checked in after the office was closed and had to get our keys out of the lockbox. The numbers on the lock are tiny and almost impossible to see in the dark, very frustrating for tired travelers. Other than that, all was good. I would definately use this company again in the future.Response from Key West Vacation Properties and Realty LLC - 01/16/2013

Left on 12/10/2012 for a stay in November 2012
Being in the Truman annex was really wonderful, a perfect location to the Duvall street night life, it was perfectly quiet at night, you would never suspect that Duvall street was two blocks away. The pool and the gardens were lovely and not much visited in the beautiful November weather. A real plus to this location is no vehicle needs to be rented. We rented bikes for our two week stay and were to "do Key West" with ease and pleasure. Our condo was very clean and quite comfortable, a large private deck for morning coffee in our PJ's was enjoyed very much. We have every intention of returning next year.

Overall good experience and acceptable unit.
It was a little small for 4 adults. Tiny kitchen and bath, bedrooms are small. The deck and enclosed rear area was a little run down and the common pool wasn't much to write home about. Easy 2+ block walk to Duval Street. The complex was otherwise well kept. -

We have rented this uint twice. 2010/2012 for 3 weeks each time. We like it. My problem was the scatter rugs they should have been cleaned between renters. They had not been cleaned in some time. We did not want to put them in the washer for fear of damage to rug and washer.

Left on 03/20/2012 for a stay in March 2012
Our first time in Key West and loved it. We will come back.We were quite happy with the fit our needs only being two people. The bathroom was the main drawback as it was very small, and it was the only one. We really loved the back patio area with the barbecue which we used.However we really had to scrub it down before using the grill.We had to buy a wire brush as there was nothing to clean it with. The location of the condo couldn't have been better.We could walk to everything. We never did use our car. We will use the same condo again next time. Just a brief mention on the cleaning of the place. Although it was tidy we felt it needed more time on unseen things, like in the bathroom cabinet(there were stain marks where bottles had dripped) and sticky places on the kitchen counters around some of the appliances. Outside there were cobwebs hanging near the barbecue and bushes.

Left on 01/03/2012 for a stay in January 2012
The property was almost perfect. The beds in both bedrooms however were not very good. We had expected 2 queen based on the initial description. Got 1 king, and 2 twins. That was not great but then the beds themselves were really bad. Upgrading the beds in both rooms would go a long way in making this rental perfect!

When we got to the condo it looked like they had not inspected the condo before we arrived, the toilet looked like it had not been cleaned. It had a thick ring of scum around the toilet. Also there were several spider webs with spiders in them. The beds were hard. And no I will not be returning to this condo.

Thomasville, GARude Renters Above
Left on 07/11/2011 for a stay in July 2011
Condo had 1 wash cloth. The condo above is a monthly rental and the renters must not realize they sound as though they are stomping as they walk around or just don't care. They also hosted a Wednesday evening party which went until 3am with music blasting until 3am. We are no prudes and enjoy a party but this was beyond rude. For some reason they slammed both doors each time going in and out, couldn't understand that as we had no issue with shutting the door quietly. Throw in their barking dog to top it off. I would not recommend staying in this condo as long as the renters above are living there.

We enjoyed our stay here. The Shipyard complex is well located and has very nice communal areas and pool. The apartment itself is comfortable and well-equipped. We were concerned by previous reviewers re cleaniness, however we found the apartment to be in a satisfactory condition, although the tile floor left our feet black by the end of the day. The apartment has a homely, 'lived-in' feel and is priced accordingly - I certainly couldn't find anywhere better value in such a great location.

Unit was what we expected for size, not spacious but very livable for a week. The deck with new gas grill was very nice. also washer & dryer in unit was very convenient. It was a toss up whether to eat in or out as there were many reasonable priced restaurants in KW with great food. We would definetly check on this property again for next trip to KW(fishing trip & snorkling)

The only problem we had with the Unit was the A/C fan in the closet was loud. But most of the time we were so tired from having so much fun we sleep right thu the noise. -

We really enjoyed our vacation. The weather was perfect, the location was great, lots to do. The patio was really nice and big and we spent most of our time out there. The only negative is that there was no where to put our clothes. We had to go out and buy hangers because there was not a single one in the place and the drawers were filled with someone else's belongings. We had to live out of suitcases. But, aside from that it was great.

Longmeadow, MAEnjoyed our stay very much!
Left on 01/04/2010 for a stay in January 2010
Only downsides to the unit were that we were unable to sit on the front porch as there were 5 bicycles being stored on it and that none of the outside lights worked on the back porch. There were candles on the back porch but could have really used lighting. The kitchen was WELL stocked with utensils and glassware. Rooms were very clean as well. Check-in for the unit was on a busy saturday so we had to wait to pick up the keys. would recommend another way to maybe have everything ready for the guest upon arrival as it took us a 50 dollar cab ride from the airport to get the keys and then get to the unit. All in all we did have a great time!

Great location. We were able to walk every where. Condo could use some tender loving care. Some light bulbs needed replacing and bathroom rug needed washing (which we did ourselves). Had problem with little sugar ants in bath and laundry closet. Liked better than hotel because we could cook and do our laundry there. Would not recommend this exact property but do like Truman Annex area!

Our unit was in a great location-better than I expected! We arrived shortly before 9 p.m., and the staff was still very pleasant and accomodating. The only thing I would suggest is that you bring your own dish and laundry soap, and your own toliet paper and paper towels-those items were not supplied. I'm not a neat freak or clean freak, but the unit could have been a little cleaner, but there were no cleaning supplies either. I would rent again-without a doubt!!
