Great location, beautiful condo, everything one could need all right there. Check in was super easy even though we arrived after 10pm on a Saturday.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
Betsy, So glad you enjoyed your visit, and thanks so much for the kind words! The staff @ At Home In Key West works so hard to offer exceptional service -- it's great to know it's noticed! Come back soon!

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.

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.
