AMBERJACK

Recently refurbished throughout in a fun, tropical theme, Amberjack is situated on Southard Street in the exclusive gated community of Truman Annex, very near Harry Truman’s Little White House and right in the heart of Old Town Key West; a great spot to watch the October Fantasy Fest Parade as it weaves its way past the front door. Amberjack is within easy walking distance of Mallory Dock, where the sunset is celebrated everyday: Duval Street with its shops, restaurants and entertainments, and Fort Zachary Beach where there is a beachside café and awesome snorkelling. In less than a 2 minute walk there is a deli/convenience store, Coffee Tea Café, Green Parrot Bar and Eaton Bikes where you can hire bikes daily or weekly at a reasonable rate. If cycling is not for you and you don’t want to hire a car, Pirate Scooters (located opposite the Green Parrot Bar) will hire you an electric car. The property does have an allocated off street parking space. Amberjack provides everything for a relaxing vacation. Fully air conditioned throughout with ceiling fans in all rooms. Downstairs there is a large living/dining/kitchen area and a half bathroom. The living area boasts a Cozy sofa that opens in to a luxurious queen bed with a ceiling fan above, two further comfy chairs, a Flatscreen TV/DVD, CD stereo, I Pod docking station and Wi Fi Broadband. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a dining table that seats four with two comfortable stools at the kitchen bar. The patio is furnished with table, chairs, parasol and electric grill; perfect for Al Fresco dining on a balmy Key West evening. Outdoor Grill. The shared pool is just 25 footfalls from the patio gate. Upstairs you will find the laundry area, with stackable washer/dryer, and two bedrooms, one queen and one twin (that can be easily converted in to a king) both with en suite bathrooms, TV’s and balconies with tables and chairs.

Please note: This property has a 28 night minimum stay

  a guest from Washington Grove, MD recommends this vacation rental

  This two-bedroom townhouse is centrally located, walking distance to almost anything you'd want to do, including a shared pool just a few steps away. It was clean and well stocked. On the negative side, the office to get the key is too far away to walk while dragging luggage, and the communications on check in came from a different email address than all the others, which was confusing. Then we had to download an app to get checkout instructions. The office is closed on the weekend which was a problem as the doors to the terrace were stuck shut and many of the kitchen cabinet doors were close to falling off. I would stay there again, but would take a small toolkit!

  Unfortunately, this unit had a number of issues. Burned out bulbs above the shower and patio. Broken kitchen cabinet doors. The kitchen sink faucet needed to be replaced. Broken toilet seat in the Master bedroom. Over-priced.

  The unit was in very poor shape and very run down. Many items were broken, stained and worn.
  The oven was broken and the staff got us a new one right away, but the unit was in very bad shape

  This has to be my 7th or 8th time using the services of Compass Realty Key West. The folks there are extremely accommodating, the rental is always clean and ready to go, even when you may be a little early. Any time I had to call them (and it was only two times) they were quick to answer the call and rectify the situation!! Will continue to use the folks from Compass!!

  Matthew F from Waukesha, WI recommends this vacation rental

  We don't spend much time in the property when on vacation so it worked for us. Needs some TLC but everything was functional. Small couch but decent furniture overall. It is a sleeper sofa. Plenty of space for 2 couples. Close to the pool. The master bedroom was much warmer than the rest of the house. Traffic noise was loud from the master bedroom. Air conditioning vent has condensation and drips onto the bed in the master. Ceiling fan needs some maintenance in master. I recommend house slippers/shoes/socks while inside. Close proximity to the middle of Duval which is great.

  Property condition:

  DAVID G from PEWAUKEE, WI recommends this vacation rental

  It is time for a re-fresh of this unit. Most everything is original. There are some major and minor maintenance issues.
  One of the major issues is wood rot around the door and windows in the back bedroom.
  One of the minor issues is the cabinet door below the kitchen sink almost falling off.
  The front bedroom is especially noisy with foot and vehicle noise on Southard. The front bedroom door to the porch door does not close tightly which allows some of the noise in. Replacing the doors and windows with new hurricane doors and windows would help some. The front bed itself isn't the most comfortable and should be replaced.
  The stair carpeting is worn and your bare feet will show dirt from walking on them.
  The unit itself is a very nice but being over 30 years old, it is showing it's age and needs to be updated.

  Amberjack is in a great location. 2 bed/2.5 bath has plenty of room. 2 porches and 2 balconies provide lots of outdoor space. Condo could definitely use some updating/fixes. Kitchen faucet was broken, cabinet doors were very loose, toilet was worn and scratched up. Bathrooms were very dated.

  Great place, perfect location in the beautiful Truman Annex.

Management responded quickly and efficiently to a couple of minor issues (burned out light bulb, loose leg on coffee table).

  Chontay J from Carey, OH recommends this vacation rental

  We’ve stayed in several townhouses in the same price point and general location, unfortunately this one was the smallest and most in need of updating as well as some basic maintenance. If you’re looking for something a little more quiet, this is not the rental for you. Being at the entrance sounds like a great idea, but it is very noisy early in the morning with numerous garbage and work trucks rolling in and out.
  The cleaning staff did a great job and as always Compass Realty makes the whole process easy.

  Overall was great. Location was right next to the exit putting you right by Duval. The porches were nice to relax on. Beds were a bit stiff, ac went out upstairs luckily we had AA’s to replace the ones in the thermostat. AC vent was also dripping condensation on the bed. Internet was out the whole time.

  We were met with a welcome letter from the realty company basically threatening us not to turn down the AC. The AC needs repair as it does not remove moisture from the air. You are left with somewhat cool but very damp environment.

  Sherry C from Birmingham, MI does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We loved our stay at Truman Annex. We were disappointed with Amberjack. The biggest disappointment was cleanliness, specifically the floors. We did not feel comfortable not wearing shoes either in the house or on the outdoor patios. The patio's were totally disappointing. We had to clean all of the front patio furniture before using. The outdoor patio tiles were so dirty that there was no way to enjoy being outside without shoes. We own a rental in northern Michigan and the cleanliness of the outside is crucial. Our customers come to be outdoors not indoors. It should be no different in Florida. Also the knives in the kitchen. They were all so dull that I could not cut an apple...sounds trite but at the price we are paying we should have half way decent knives.

  Proposed network fix not reliable, no service upstairs. Needed internet for working vacation. Rocking chair we loved on front porch, now a mess on back deck. Area around air conditioning vent in bedroom a mess. Would recommend this property when it gets it’s act together.

  We had a great experience with the Amberjack rental. Clean and cozy place to stay that was located just a couple of blocks from Duval. Beautiful community. The realty company was so hospitable and helpful. I can’t wait to return. The only thing that could have made the stay better was having the community pool open past dusk.

  Great location in Key West. You do get some noise from the Parrot and people walking back and forth on Southard but we thought it was manageable compared with all of the advantages.

  We loved this rental. It was perfect for 2 couples, we each had our own bedrooms with an ensuite bath. The front bedroom is quite noisy, between the road noise and roosters. I recommend ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones. The location is phenomenal! Very close to Duval street, beaches, and restaurants. The house was spotless. There were a couple of very minor maintenance issues that were so minor I forgot to report. I highly recommend this house.
