We enjoyed staying at the Southard Pearl in Key West Truman Annex. We stay stay in Truman Annex every year during the October Trop Rock event. Great music and great fun.
The apartment is very well appointed and spacious. The bed is comfy, the kitchen well stocked for cooking, and everything is really close.Lovely to be able to take a walk to see the ocean, just minutes away, or pop up to Duval, which is just 5 minutes away.The deck and pool are very sunny too
The owner was great to work with from reservation to checkout. The location of the unit is perfect for a stay in Key West, easy walk or Duval Loop bus to all locations. The complex is tropical and well maintained, we loved sitting on the porch watching the activities below us. Pool less than a minute walk. Short 1/2 mile walk to the state park beach with new sand. Hopefully after Jan 1st they can still rent weekly. Thanks Pam for a great stay!

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was nice, clean and modern, with a comfortable bed. It would have been nice to have more dishes though.
The property was quiet and well maintained. The stay was truncated due to maintenance on adjoining properties. For a 1-bedroom property it has plenty of space, and great appliances.
Our last Key West vacation was 2007. When I priced out week stay at same hotel the prices were insane so checked out VRBO and found the perfect accommodation. The condo provided the privacy we prefer, and the unit fit our style perfectly. We rented a golf cart for the whole week and covered every inch of key west . We even took several trips over to Stock Island for Kayak tour. We especially liked the community swimming pool and the property management staff.
This 1 bedroom gem in the best location on the island did everything we needed. It even had free bikes included! Beautiful kitchen. Clean and had a strong AC unit. Nicely done bathroom. The only small nit picks I could maybe say is that the tv’s are older and don’t have smart TV capability. And the bed could’ve been a bit softer. But we had a fantastic time. No real complaints here! The closet was stocked with beach chairs, bike chains, extra sun tan lotion. Would absolutely re rent here!
The most convenient place to stay to take advantage of beach and town. It’s a beautiful and quiet area of condos. Just a couple of suggestions: 1. The listing said that we would have bikes which we did, but without baskets on them they were worthless for a ride to the beach. If we had backpacks we could have managed, but we did not. Also there were no locks for the bikes. We did not want to have them stolen and be held accountable 2. The front porch had a very bright light which we could not turn off. It shone directly into the bedroom window. The blinds on the window did little to keep out the light. Fortunately there was a curtain rod above the window and we hung a blanket from it. 3. The back deck was mostly I useable during daylight hours. There was no table umbrella to block direct sun

We arrived in the rain and had to figgier out a lock box that was miss marked. after some time trying to figure out, I called and left a message explaining the situation outside in the rain. I was told the number that they had given me was incorrect and the 9 box had been switched with the 6 box (wrong name on box). This took some time, and we were finally able to get into our condo rental. The next day the ceiling started leaking water in the middle of the unit Livingroom. I called and left a message though didn't get a response for some time. By the time (this was Christmas eve) they responded the lights started flashing off and on in one of the rooms (short circuit) and my wife was afraid of a possible fire. They decided to move us to a different unit though I had to go and get keys from another lock box in the rain at 9pm. I was finally able to get the new lockbox open and we moved our things to the car and drove to the new unit. When I opened the door, the unit was full of personal items like someone was there. I slowly closed the door, and we went back to our original unit. I again called and left messages until I received a call back. They explained they were at their Christmas party and were now going to move us to a 4-bedroom unit to stay at for the remainder of our stay. The unit was very nice, and we did enjoy the remainder of our stay. What stood out for me was when they said they knew of the leaking ceiling issue and the shorting lights as the water and electricity will not cause a fire and wanted us to stay in that unit. It's definitely the Christmas eve we will remember. I realize it interrupted their Christmas party, but it was a Christmas eve event that could have been handled better. The final (last) unit was verry nice (5 stars) and I would recommend it but the first unit and second unit I would not recommend to anyone and communication getting to the last unit was a disappointment......

We loved our stay in Oyster’s Pearl! The updated kitchen was truly gorgeous! Beautiful colors! I loved the updated bathroom with a magnifying mirror in the cabinet too! Lovely unit. The Truman Annex is the best location on the island. We will definitely book this unit again!

My husband and I just spent a week at Oyster's Pearl and LOVED every second! The rental company is super informative, close by and attentive. The property is clean, stocked with everything that we needed, super comfortable bed, had 2 bikes, beach chairs and close to all the activities that we were into. The pool is awesome and Truman Annex is safe, clean and beautiful! We can't wait to book our next trip to Key West and stay there again!

We were thrilled to walk into Oyster's Pearl at Shipyard and find the kitchen and bathroom remodeled. We have stayed in this same condo for several years and always found it comfortable; however, this year was the best ever.

Wonderful location and the perfect condo for two. 5 ⭐️. Would definitely stay there again and we are repeat customers of the property management.
It was very clean. Location was awesome by the pool and short walk to Duval St. Kitchen was well stocked. Nice Tv's.Back patio was nice. I would have liked a table and chairs on the patio though. Would definitely stay here again Great property.
My wife and i stayed here for a week and it was great. The check-in process was seamless. The location was perfect. Newer appliances and bathroom was everything we could ask for. We will definitely stay here again.
My husband and I spent a little over a week here exploring Key West. We loved the pool and the closeness to everything. The grounds were beautiful and we made friends with the lizards.

We love Key West and aim to attend Fantasy Fest each year. This was our first time renting this condo. Overall the location is great, easy walking distance to Duval, however we found it sparsely equipped in the kitchen, the only bed filled the room, and there is no patio cover , or heavy drape so the sun heats up the living space. The shower head is fabulous!
