Overview ↑↓

The Keys have some of the most charming, top-rated vacation residences in the world. Truman House, a 1920's Conch home with four spacious bedrooms, three full baths, a dazzling pool, and ample amenities easily qualifies for the list. And as an added perk, this classic pet-friendly home is located on an upscale and tranquil residential street within easy walking distance of all the "must-do's" in your Key West guidebook.

The design mantra for Truman House must have gone like this: all doors should lead poolside. Even the second-floor master bedroom balcony overlooks this area and for good reason. The very private rear of the home is paradise perfect. It starts with a natural wood deck, one part under an overhang that shades a glass-top table and six cushioned chairs. Just beyond, chaise lounges and chairs dot the open space in case you want to work on your tan, or just open up the green market umbrella for some additional shade. Three steps down bring you to tile decking. To one side is a delightful pergola. At the same end a unique and imposing white tarpon sculpture watches over the heated oversized pool and spa with round fish eyes and open lips. Tropical foliage rings the area, creating privacy and beauty. Swim, float, spa, lounge, barbecue, and eat your feast al fresco at the deck table. Maybe include a glass or two of wine. So many opportunities to enjoy your vacation any way you want.

But let's be practical; you can't spend all your time outside. And that's fine because Truman House offers a bright and spacious interior with high ceilings and a tropical color pallet. Right inside the front door is the great room, including a dining area with a rectangular table and six spindle-back chairs with cushions. Nearby is a large hutch for dishes and knickknacks. The area rug below picks up the Key Lime green walls. This area flows into the living area, also delineated by an area rug over antique wide-plank flooring. A large sleeper sofa and three armchairs circle a coffee table, forming a great conversation area. Sit here to enjoy friends and family. Maybe that means a card game of some sort with a cool glass of ice tea or lemonade. Or maybe you'll prefer to use the family room on the other side of the kitchen for social activities. Lamps and windows provide ample light for the living area, while Florida-themed wall art adds color and interest. A paddle ceiling fan with light whirrs above adding circulation, brightness, and tropical ambience.

Directly behind the living room is a small bedroom with twin beds and dresser with four drawers. A door on one wall leads to the laundry room, which then opens to the pool area. Next comes the gourmet kitchen with plenty of gleaming white cabinetry, butcher-block island, and eat-in corner area. The walls in this room are the hue of a grove-fresh orange. All the appliances you'd expect are tucked in neatly with plenty of counter space for food preparation. Glass doors open wide from here to the deck and pool. The view is spectacular, not to mention the balmy weather the open doors let in. You may even find yourself preparing more food than you had intended on your vacation because the kitchen is so inviting.

Next to the kitchen is the family room, painted in fresh lemon yellow. This room has a sofa, armchairs, coffee table, and of course cable, wireless high-speed Internet, stereo, and DVD player. Windows on three walls provide garden views while French doors open on one wall to the deck and pool. Two guest bedrooms account for the rest of the first floor. The first has a king bed and en suite full bath. The second has twin beds with another full bath just steps away, one conveniently accessible from the dining room and bedroom.

At the top of gleaming hardwood stairs, you'll find the master suite. It starts with a small, cedar-lined room that is quite an unusual amenity for Key West: a real walk-in closet. In fact eight people could walk in at once and hang around. The rest of the second floor is the master suite. There are plenty of windows, a queen bed, dresser, side tables, and a full bath with striking ocean blue tiles. Best of all are the French doors to a small deck with table and two chairs overlooking the pool, Jacuzzi, and tropical garden. Maybe like Goldilocks you want to try each of the four bedrooms or maybe you already know this one is for you. This home is Pet (Dog) Friendly**(please see below or our FAQ page for rules and restrictions)

When you're ready to explore your neighborhood and the rest of Key West, everything is within walking distance. The Historic Seaport is only four streets over. Follow the boardwalk along the Gulf of Mexico to find historic tall ships offering day and sunset cruises or take an all-day ferry excursion to the Dry Tortugas. If you're interested in watersports, there's all kinds like diving, fishing, parasailing, snorkeling, and jet skiing. If you get hungry, a dozen or so restaurants of varying levels of informality ring the harbor. Maybe stop at Schooner Wharf or BO's Fish Wagon for a fresh Mahi sandwich and listen to local musicians. Continue on to Mallory Square where crowds of visitors and locals alike gather to witness the sun sinking into the horizon. Then hang around for the party as artists and street performers entertain the crowd. From Mallory Square, the famous Duval Street is within two blocks in case you're interested in tours, museums, shopping, over two hundred restaurants, and bars. If beaches call to you, there are two within easy biking distance.

Other information on the current music scene, movies, plays, gallery openings, and charitable events can be found at milezerokeywest.com (calendar section) or in the print publication Paradise, available at various locations around town every Thursday.

The backyard with a pool and hot tub was like a private oasis!

Vacation Date: Nov-21

"The home was located in a quiet residential neighborhood, which was perfect for us and just a couple of blocks to Duval street. The backyard with a pool and hot tub was like a private oasis! The inside of the home was beautiful and the perfect size for our family of 7. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and having a washer/dryer was key. My husband and I loved the front porch! We sat out there every morning with our coffee. There are only 2 Adirondack chairs for the from porch so a few more would have been nice to have. Also, hooks on the bathroom door for hanging towels would be helpful. The service we received from Historic Hideaways was outstanding!! There were a few items that did not work properly during our first 2 days and the staff was responsive and on top of it. Service is everything to us and yours was superb. We plan to rent a home in Key West for Thanksgiving every other year and will be renting from Historic Hideaways!!!

"Thanks so much for providing such a fun and wonderful place to stay while in Key West. This was our first time in Key West and we had a great vacation at the Truman House. We had 8 in total and it was plenty comfortable for everyone. Our accommodations and booking agency were 5 star quality. The home was beautiful and very comfortable. We loved each room, and everyone had a favorite spot to relax. Everyone loved the pool and hot tub and we enjoyed our time on the back patio. What more could you ask for? It felt like a home away from home. Thank you for making our vacation a trip we will always remember!!

Wonderful stay in a charming, historic home

Vacation Date: Apr-19

"Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the Truman House. The location is in a beautiful, residential area. That said, parking was a bit of an issue because so many of the street spots were marked residential and could not be used by us. We also had an extra long passenger van to fit our group of 8, so we couldn't fit in a spot even if we found one! Luckily, there is a lot right behind the house and we were able to park for $50 for the week! The house itself fit our needs perfectly. The kids loved the pool and spent as much time as they possibly could in it! There were some pool noodles and floats that they could use as well. Everything in the house was clean, but since it is a historic home, it is old and creaky, but that's part of the charm. There was some construction noise during the weekdays since they were renovating the house across the street, but that's common around the island. All in all, we were very comfortable and the location was perfect for us! The only suggestion would be to have some shampoo for the showers and a hair dryer.

"Our stay at the Truman House was excellent. The house itself was perfect for a tropical getaway. The outside area and pool were especially relaxing. The house was stocked with everything we needed, including kitchen utensils, towels and bedding. The location of the house was perfect, as it was only a short walk to Duval Street, as well as down to the docks/water area. (rental agent) from Historic Hideaways was excellent to deal with. He made sure all of our needs were met in a timely and professional manner. I would highly recommend staying at the Truman House.

Really Enjoyed Our Stay

Vacation Date: Nov-17

"This was a awesome 4 bed / 3 bath home. It had everything you would need and then some with a rental. The location was good, the private pool was a plus and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. No real damage from the hurricane, just some foliage that would take time to heal. Only complaint we would have is the bedding would need to be updated in the near future. This house has 2 possible master bedrooms with en suite. We would rent again.

"Hose is walking distance to Duval Street & Mallory Square. No reserved parking, but we didn't have any problem finding close on-street parking. The house is well-equipped, in terms of kitchen appliances and tools, WiFi & cable TV (with several sets), washer/dryer, bedding, and towels. Pool and hot tub are nice. If you go out by the pool and look to the left (north-west), you can see a big iguana in top of a neighbor's tree.
