Left on 05/04/2013 for a stay in April 2013
This is the perfect location and the perfect rental. It is quiet and great inside and out. Four adults stayed here it was relaxing and beautiful . Must go to zachery park the view of the water is awesome. Couch republic best shrimp. Flying monkey best frozen drinks. Your a block away from mallory square. You are in a gated community so at 6p they lock so you need your key to get in. The main gate is open but it is a walk.
You are a few blocks from all the action. Best way to get around is bikes. Must go on a sunset cruise best way to enjoy the view. We loved our stay everyone was awesome. We would come back to this place -

From the moment we opened the door all our stress melted away. The condo was beautiful, well kept, and well appointed with all the amenities one could need. It's close enough to all the action on Duval Street, Mallory Sq, Sunset pier but also far enough to get some r&r; if that's what you need. I strongly recommend you grab the beach chairs (provided) towels and your sunscreen and walk to Ft Zachary Taylor State Park. Great beach and snorkeling.

This place is magic. We walked to Mallory Square, Duval Street, and all the great places in Key West. The unit is beautifully kept, and set up for comfort. We went fishing and enjoyed our catch on the grill and outdoor patio. All the conveniences of home with a touch of elegance.

This is our second time at Island Spice and as usual it was wonderful. We've been visiting Key West at least once a year for the past twenty plus years and the service and the friendly, helpful people at at Home In Key West have been bringing us back year after year. Island Spice is beautiful and as close to feeling like home as any place we have stayed in Key West. The location couldn't be much better, as everything is within walking distance. We always recommend at Home In Key West to all our family and friends.

Westhampton, NYIt just doesn't get any better than this!
Left on 07/25/2012 for a stay in July 2012
My husband and I along with my nephew and his wife stayed at Island Spice for the 2nd week of July 2012. Though the pictures online are accurate they do not do the home justice. The place is just beautiful and absolutely perfect for 2 couples. Each bedroom having it's own bath and a separate entrance off the staircase was ideal. The 1/2 bath downstairs and washer/dryer were great to have also. Located adjacent to Truman's Little White House and just a couple of blocks from Mallory Square, the condo offered the best of both worlds - quiet and peaceful in the annex with entertainment just a few steps away from the gate. We rented a car but it sat for days since it's so much easier to get around on bicycles. The swimming pool was just across the street and, though small, it was clean and cool. We would absolutely rent Island Spice again and if you're considering it, rent it - you will not regret it!

Carrboro, NCGreat Location and beautiful condo
Left on 07/09/2012 for a stay in June 2012
It took us a few minutes to find this condo tucked away in Truman annex but it was a beautiful place once we did find it. We had everything we needed for the week. The patio area was nice and shaded for us to relax outside. We walked and biked everywhere. Whenever we had a question or problem, the rental agency was quick to repsond. I would recommend this place to anyone and may even stay here again if we are in Key West again.

Left on 06/01/2012 for a stay in May 2012
We loved the decor of Island Spice. We loved the location. We loved having cocktails on the large patio. We loved the bedrooms and baths. We loved that they provided beach chairs and towels. We disliked the lack of comfort of the pullout couch. We were disappointed that the complex had workers and their trucks start work at 8am. But my family had priceless memories that will last a lifetime and glad that Island Spice was a fantastic home for a week!!

Left on 03/14/2012 for a stay in February 2012
I would recommend Island Spice to anyone. The place is set up with everything you need. Very clean and the location is about as good as you can get. Parking was available for only one car. The beds were very comfortable, although the pull out couch mattress was not. I was amazed at everything that was available at Spice Island.

TampaGreat Property!
Left on 12/15/2011 for a stay in November 2011
This property worked out great for our family. Really enjoyed our stay. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers, so our space needs were quite demanding. The patio is large and very useful right off the kitchen and living room. Our only complaint was that the pullout couch was not the most comfortable, however this is largely to be expected. Once we applied an additional feather comforter at night, it was a big help. Also of note, the separate staircases allowed for privacy between the two rooms. Lots of steps!

This rental is in a great location- close to the heart of the town but in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The courtyard is great for nice evening mealsand relaxing with mimosas in the morning. We had 3 couples total in the unit and it worked out nicely.

Left on 07/27/2011 for a stay in July 2011
I have been forever spoiled after staying at Island Spice. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Key West. This elegant home is beautifully decorated and eqipped with everything you could ever need during a vacation. The building itself is charming with the brick exterior and inviting back porch. The house was spotlessly clean and had every modern comfort one could need from internet to a Keurig coffeemaker. I also loved the location. You are a few minutes walk from Mallory Square, Duval Street, and amazing restaurants. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay a perfect escape in paradise. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to stay in your little piece of heaven!!!

Left on 07/06/2011 for a stay in June 2011
we enjoyed the house. Our first night there the temperature in the house was 80 degrees. Attempted to set the temperature down on the thermostat but could only set to 74. There was no way around it. Contacted the emergency number. Told her it was cooling. We never received a phone call from the agency asking if problem was fixed. Received a phone call from agency stating someone coming over on Saturday to fix dryer. we were gone during day but dryer was not fixed in fact we had to hang clothes out to get dried. Other than these few problems, place was great. Can't get any better than the Truman annex. We will come back for sure.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We so pleased to know you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the dryer, the previous guest had mentioned the dryer issue and we worked in a "quick fix" before your arrival. We had a second thought about disturbing your visit on Saturday and decided to wait until your departure to repair it. We did not realize that you were having difficulty with it or would certainly have sent someone in right away. We apologize for the inconvenience it caused during your visit.

Left on 03/30/2011 for a stay in March 2011
We had just had the worst winter with snowfalls giving us over 100 inches of snow. We landed in key west to perfect weather and a beautiful condo. We've rented in the Foundry building before and found Island Spice to be quite exceptional. It was recently rennovated and is quite stunning with beautuful art and high quality furniture. Couches, chairs and beds were extremely comfortable.
The pool area had new furniture but the pool itself is too small for the many condos it supports. Renting from at
Home was even easier than in previous years. The staff
was great. We hope to rent again next year. -

The Truman annex is such a beautiful complex, just a picture perfect setting. The Island Spice condo is an excellent location, within walking distance to everything, and so well laid out with the split bedrooms upstairs. It was a big part of making our vacation in Key West perfect. Thanks to the staff at "At Home In Key West" for guiding me to the Island Spice.

A quiet cofortable home in the prime area of Key West. The Truman annex is very convenient to Old Town and Duval Street. The home is exceptional, wonderful design, all the amentities, and very quiet and private. A bit pricey but well worth it. Working with at Home in Key West was effortless and very satisfying - they are professional and cooperative.

My wife and I had stayed in this unit before and traveled down for a long weekend with some friends. As expected it was another top notch experience. The beauty of this unit is it's proximity to the attractions of Key West while still being quiet and relaxing when you get back from a great day out.

Left on 10/06/2010 for a stay in September 2010
The condo was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The only issue was the themostat ( we weren't sure how to lower the temperature and get it to stay there) so we just lowered it once in a while to where we felt comfortable. Close to everything but still quite enough to get away from all the hustle and bustle. We have been using at Home In Key West at least once a year for over fifteen years and we are never disapointed.

Wis. Dells, WIVery nice
Left on 04/09/2010 for a stay in March 2010
My family of four stayed at Island Spice for a week and we were very
comfortable. This was our first experience staying in Key West outside of a
luxury hotel and we were very pleased. The condo was clean and well stocked
with the essential supplies needed to make quick snacks and a pizza. We
figure that part of the whole experience of Key West is eating out so we didn't
spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but someone certainly could have. Our only
disappointment was the ceramic floors were a bit dirty and our bare feet were
proof of that. But, other than that everything was perfect. The linens were well
stocked and there is a washer & dryer in the room so we always had plenty of
towels. If you expect or need fresh linens and towels brought to you each day
(we certainly don't) then you may want to stay at the Hyatt. My family fends
for itself very well and we don't need cleaning services or fresh towels so
Island Spice was perfect for us! We will definitely stay there again. -

Findlay, OhioNice but not so nice!
Left on 03/12/2010 for a stay in March 2010
Loction for rental was great. Short walk to see the sunset as well as all the happenings on Duval street. Downside was the community pool which accomodates only 7 people at once...gets rather cozy quickly, rather small for the number of condos it has to accomodate. Island Spice is for sale and realtor was bringing people through quite often which didn't allow for too much privacy. We were looking for a relaxing vacation that if we wanted to lounge in pj's all day we could, nap whenever and that just couldn't happen when people were coming through to tour the condo. Wish we would have known it was for sale ahead of time because we wouldn't have stayed here.

VirginiaI didn't feel like I was on vacation.
Left on 01/06/2010 for a stay in December 2009
I had great anticipation of our vacation in Key West. On arrival, I was immediately struck by how dark the house was. The patio was unkept with too many overgrown trees. Most of them dead. The entire downstairs of the unit was shrouded in darkness with inadequate lighting inside. There was not enough adequate comfortable furniture for relaxing inside or out. The linens were scarce. We had to go out and buy bath towels. Not exactly what I want to buy when on vacation. The bed linens were substandard. Not enough blankets and without a decent pillow a good night's sleep was nearly impossible. I will say the house was clean but the glasses in the cabinets smelled like a sour dish rag. One morning we woke up to hundreds of ants crawling all over the kitchen. There is no pantry for food so our groceries were all over the counter. I believe we paid a total of $3900. for the week. For that I could have stayed in a 5 star hotel. Oh, not having a grill is ridiculous. We went out and bought a small charcoal grill only to find out from the nosey neighbor that they are not allowed. Would have been nice if some rules had been posted. One final complaint, we actually had a call from a realtor. He wanted to show the house, suggesting we leave for 2 hours. I was on vacation for God's sake!!! I would never consider renting this home again. It was not worth the money!

Great location - we didn't use our car until Thursday after arriving in Key West the previous Saturday. Felt very secure in the Truman Annex. Within a short walk of downtown Key West with more than enough places and activities to keep us busy for a large portion of the week. Saved us oodles of parking fees. Beds very comfortable.

Cornwall, PAIsland Spice was wonderful !
Left on 08/20/2009 for a stay in August 2009
We chose Island Spice based on the recommendation of the At Home In Key West rental agent and we were very pleased. The home is located in the Foundry Building of Truman Annex and the location is great, two blocks to Duval Street, about the same to Mallory Square, less to the cruise ship port. Fort Zachary Taylor State Park is walking distance; the swimming pool less than a block. A parking space was provided, not directly in front of the home but only a few spots away. The home is everything we needed, 2 1/2 baths, bedrooms on opposite ends of the upstairs which provided more privacy, laundry room, 3 TV's and high speed internet. The kitchen was adequately stocked, the dining area and living room comfortably furnished. There is a tropical but small gated courtyard with a patio table & chairs, although it was so hot we did not sit out. Everything about Island Spice was positive and we would definately stay there again and recommend it to our friends.

The first unit we were placed in had some plumbing issues. The real estate office quickly moved us to Island Spice, which was perfect for our family and in a great location, close to Mallory Square and Duval Street. The Island Spice unit was very nicely decorated and quite comfortable, a BBQ grill would make a nice addition. We will certainly stay here again.

Left on 07/30/2009 for a stay in July 2009
Stayed at Island Spice which is located in Truman Annex. We never used the car except to go to the grocery store and stock up for the week. Property was great for two couples as each have a bedroom and bath upstairs. The property looks as advertised with nice patio and everything was in working order. Only complaint would be that we did not have many towels or washclothes, so had to wash some during our stay. May have just been an oversight during our stay. Anyway, it is a good property, and I always stay in Truman because I love the location. The cruise ships dock right around the corner, and Mallory Square and Duval Street are steps away!
