THE SWEET LIFE ~ Charming First Floor 2 BR/1 Ba Condo w/ Community Pool!

PLEASE BE ADVISED IF BOOKING THIS UNIT FOR AUGUST 2026: The Shipyard Pool will be closed starting August 1, 2026, for the Pool Deck Replacement Project. The HOA expects the project to take 30 days, with the goal of having the work completed and the pool reopened by September 1, 2026. There is no other pool available at the Shipyard, so we have adjusted our rates to offset the inconvenience.

Property was clean, great location, kitchen and bathroom really small, pool area good. The only concern I had was the doorway to the back patio only had a see through curtain on it. You could see inside the living room at night.That said I would still recommend the property.

Excellent location

Unfortunately our stay was at the time they were installing a new roof on the condo's and jack hammering up the sidewalks. We had debris on our patio and constant noise. There is always maintenance that needs to be done and we understand that but it was not a peaceful experience. The condo itself was close to the pool and well equipped. It was very clean and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. It felt like a safe environment and was within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. We would not hesitate to stay here again but just hoping it's not during a major condo complex upgrade.

Overall nice experience

A few issues that were somewhat resolved with some back and forth communication and negotiation after rainstorm damage. Location is excellent. Condo was very clean and outside area lovely.

Great time in Key West

Highly recommend the Truman Annex rental. Clean and convenient to downtown Key West with Duval Street just steps away. We had no problems or issues. Community pool was well maintained. Great place to stay!

Perfect Location!

I had the best time during my stay at The Sweet Life. If you have a bicycle you are only 5 minutes from everything at this location. The gated parking area is very nice. I felt very safe here. I intend on being back there very soon. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Last vacation to Key West

We rented the Condo at Shipyard because of the walkability factor. It was cozy and sufficient for a 1 week stay. It was clean and nicely decorated. We came to Key West to purchase a house, which we did, so we are now on our way to becoming Freshwater Conch's. I texted with Melanie and communication with her was great. So nice! I did use the pool at Shipyard which was nice. This is a two bedroom with queen beds and one bath so great for a family for a relaxing vacay! Thanks Melanie... It will be great to meet you!

Family vacay

Very nice property and very clean for our family. Not super spacious but enough for 4 people. Would definitely stay here again. My only complaint is that they need more dishes and pots and pans for people who like to cook on vacation and not eat out every meal. :)
