Description

As part of the Truman Annex, this stately four-bedroom, three-bath home on Admiral's Lane is tucked away in the beauty and privacy of thick tropical foliage. The Annex neighborhood, named for President Harry Truman who wintered at The Little White House just blocks away, is Old Town's premiere gated waterfront community. The manicured landscaping, verdant palms, white picket fences, and interconnecting pathways give the Annex a park-like atmosphere even Frederick Olmsted, the father of landscape architecture, would have to admire were he alive today.

What you see first when you turn onto the Admiral's Lane cul-de-sac is a bricked-in parking area. At this point nothing more is revealed except a roofed entranceway with a heavy wooden door. It's through this door that you transition from the street to the vacation home of a lifetime.

A few steps in, you spy the prestigious two-story façade painted white accented by Cove Blue shutters. Walk to your left to stand by the heated pool designed in a visually interesting zigzag pattern and nearby the ultimate warm-weather luxury, an outside shower. At certain times of day, sunshine plays through palm fronds creating a pattern of shadows and bright sparkle over the pool surface.

Step up two steps to the wrap-around covered porch. The front portion offers two hospitality areas on either side of the front door with old Florida ceiling fans whirring above. And even further above is the second-story balcony tucked under the deep architectural roof projection and accessible only from the master bedroom.
But while you're still outdoors, check out the side portion of the porch featuring a pair of chaise lounge chairs contoured to support your body should you want to stretch out overlooking the pool. Picture yourself settling in for conversation, to use the wireless connection to check your email, to read a guide book or novel, or to just to savor the weather. Or walk further back to find the outside dining area under a Casablanca-type fan chandelier. Adjacent is the barbeque grill, ready for you to cook fresh local fish or a generous cut of Porterhouse. Already you're sure you've rented the right place, and you haven't even been inside yet.

Enter this lovely home through the front door into the living room or through the first set of French doors into the dining room; these side-by-side panel doors lend light, elegance, and function not only to the these room but throughout the house, upstairs and down. Once inside, you'll find an open floor plan and notice the palm motif from outside has been brought inside with plants, paintings, and a leaded glass art piece at the stairwell.
Just beyond the dining area is the U-shaped kitchen featuring all modern appliances, including a Jenn-Air indoor grill. The wrap-around counter is nicely set up so a portion curves around into breakfast bar. Have cereal or coffee here. Or imagine the space as an interface of food preparation and conversation with cooking on one side and admirers seated in tall wicker bar chairs looking on, maybe advising the cook to use more pepper.

Next comes the hallway leading to the back rooms and a full bath. At the hall's end, you'll find a comfortable den for TV and movie viewing. To the left are more French doors; this set leads right out onto the side porch. To your right, on the other side of the den, is a light and airy bedroom for guests or family. These rooms complete the first floor.

Back up front, past the artisan-carved armoire housing the living room TV, take the wide staircase to the second floor bedrooms and baths. To your left, down the hall, is a master suite of bold proportions, including bath with Jacuzzi soaking tub, shower, and double sinks. This bedroom and the others on this floor have cushy wall-to-wall carpeting in contrast to the solid hardwood floors throughout the rest of the house.
The king-size four-poster canopy bed features the rich detail of Spanish Revival furniture with tied-back sheer drapes. The style will remind you of a classic museum piece or family heirloom. Next to the bed, you'll again find those elegant French doors; this time they lead onto a generous balcony with seating area private enough to enjoy in bathrobes. Across the room, beyond the wicker chair with overstuffed pillows and wicker ottoman, behind louvered doors, you'll find what by Key West standards constitutes generous closet space. Need even more space? Open the woven bamboo armoire housing not only the TV but also three large drawers for clothes or whatever.

If you can tear yourself away to retrace your steps down the hallway, you'll find the laundry facility, two smaller bedrooms, and yet another full bath. The space and amenities seem never-ending.
Maybe it's hard to imagine venturing from this amazing piece of real estate, but you must because the tours, beaches, museums, water sports, shopping, restaurants, and bars of the southernmost city await you. And many are just steps beyond your neighborhood.

This was our second family vacation at this house. We all love it.

Great location. It was an easy walk to our favorite venues and restaurants. Nice living room and front porch set up for relaxing with friends or family. The small pool was good for relaxing. That it is heated was welcome on some of the cool days that we had. Comfortable beds. Nice kitchen that is well equipped. (rental agent) was very helpful, especially on our checkout day. The keys to the parking area entrance and the neighborhood gates were worn out and made opening them difficult. Otherwise it was a perfect stay.

We will definitely be staying here again!

We have stayed in Key West for four years now. This was the best rental property so far. The location is perfect for beach days and walking both ends of Duval at night. The property itself had all the amenities we needed and was run well by the property managers. The major reason we didnt give five stars is that all of the tvs were from the 90s. They offered cable but on screens that are archaic. Not great for unwinding or catching up with March Madness. For this level of home/rental, the owners could spring for even just ONE flat screen.

Manager Response:

We agree....it's time to upgrade the TV's. The owners are on board and we are in the process of replacing ALL four TV's. Thanks for the recommendation!

We loved this place! Tim with historic hideaways was really helpful and friendly. We loved the home. It was clean, beautiful, and had everything you would need. The location of the place is perfect. You have privacy, but you are close to the beach and all the fun on Mallory square and Duval St. I wouldn't recommend walking to the beach though at this time of the year. We loved hanging out in the pool. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the parking space for the unit. Like stated, it is only for a compact car, and that's not suitable when it's a 4 bedroom house. However, like I said before, WE LOVED IT!!

The house was fantastic

The house was fantastic . Location to Old Town and the amenities were better than we anticipated. House was clean and comfy. Tim and staff were excellent to deal with. the only negative comment I have was in using the concierge service. I had contacted them to stock the house with certain items. the person assured me it would be stocked by noon on the day of our arrival. when we arrived nothing was in the house! I called to find out what happened, really did not get an explanation. but was told it would be taken care of by 6:00. Maybe it was partly my fault for not confirming what should have been delivered. But we did not receive what we had ordered. We made do with what was delivered, but I was very disappointed in their service. especially since we paid a premium for them to deliver the items.

A great week in Key West!

We booked a family trip to Key West to celebrate a few wedding anniversaries. Since there was 8 of us, we opted to rent a condo and we were NOT disappointed! This place on Admiral's Lane had everything we could of asked for, and more! The location was great, just 2 blocks west of Duval, but nicely and quietly tucked away in your own private oasis! The house was clean, updated and in great condition. The pool, though small, was more than adequate to cool off on the hot days. We particularly loved the porches and balconies where we spent most of our time. Other than a few odds and ends that could be tidied up, we had no complaints! A great thanks to Tim and crew at HH - can't wait to visit again!

Excellent service- very easy

Our stay at Admirals Lane exceeded our expectations. The house was exactly as shown on the website which provided a clean, comfortable, "wish I lived here" experience. The property is well maintained and tastefully furnished. Plenty of linens, towels, and supplies made us quickly feel at home. We spent mornings on the front porch and had dinners by the pool. We loved staying in Truman Annex, which gave us quiet and tranquility while being so close to bars and restaurants. We hope to return soon!
