Shared Pool + Private Porch | Steps to Beach + Old Town | Salty Palm Retreat | Condo in Key West
2 Bedroom Condo in Truman Annex, Key West
*Please note that this home is available for 28+ night stays only.*
The first thing you notice is the rhythm of Old Town Key West: palms rustling over tin roofs, dappled light through the branches, and salt air that never quite leaves the island. Salty Palm Retreat sits right in the middle of it — a two-bedroom set within the gated Truman Annex Shipyard Condominium complex, one of Old Town's most recognizable addresses, the kind of place that feels calm and lived-in the moment you set your bags down.
Inside, the home is bright, breezy, and easy to settle into. The kitchen is the standout — crisp white cabinetry, a stone-topped island with room to gather around, stainless appliances, and warm pendant lighting overhead — fully set up for cooking real meals rather than just reheating takeout. It opens onto a living room done in coastal blues and soft neutrals, where ceiling fans turn overhead and a comfortable sofa faces the TV for the nights you'd rather stay in.
The two bedrooms keep things simple. The primary is anchored by a king bed, calm and uncluttered, while the second room is set with two twins — an easy fit for kids, friends, or anyone who likes their own space, and they can be converted into a single king bed on request. A full bathroom with a walk-in glass shower serves both, and an in-unit washer and dryer handles the practical side of your stay. It's a right-sized layout that works well for a family or a small group of up to four.
Step outside and the home really opens up. A private covered porch runs along the front, shaded by bright turquoise umbrellas and set with an outdoor dining table and lounge seating — the natural spot for morning coffee, a long lunch, or a drink as the light goes gold. Just beyond, the community's shared pool is there for cooling off on the hot afternoons the Keys are known for.
The location is the kind you can't fake. Truman Annex's tree-lined streets are right outside your door, and Fort Zachary Taylor's state park beach — some of the best swimming sand in Key West — is a short walk away without ever leaving the neighborhood, with the Harry S. Truman Little White House just up the lane. Step past the gates and Bahama Village's cafés and galleries are minutes on — Blue Heaven, with its courtyard chickens and legendary breakfast, is a local institution — and the Hemingway Home & Museum, where the six-toed cats still hold court, is close behind. Duval Street's shops, bars, and live music are an easy stroll, and come evening, Mallory Square's sunset celebration is close enough to work into your nightly routine. Old Town is famously walkable and bike-friendly, so most of your days here happen on foot.
