  Loved the townhouse! Super convenient location to Duval St. and other attractions. 3 bedrooms/2 1/2 baths was perfect for 3 girls!
  We have stayed in this unit before, still well maintained. And Compass management is always helpful.

  We’ve stayed in this unit many times and it brings joy each time I open the door. It’s cheerful, spunky, and fun. It’s spacious, clean, and has several updates. Great location and comfortable living spaces inside and a very private patio. We adore this place!

  Susan M from Hamburg, NY recommends this vacation rental

  Needs to have maintenance once in a while, handles on fridge, sinks loose; one of the patio doors would not open, touch up of paint on molding, dishwasher smelled sour.
  Compass needs to work on the busiest day Sat. and stop the waiting around of customers.

  We've rented various condos over the past 8 years, and have enjoyed staying in the Truman Annex very much. Sadly based on the recent change re: minimum stay we will no longer be vacationing with Compass at the Annex, and for that matter may not vacation on Key West at all.

  I very much liked both the location and the apartment. My one complaint is that the bedroom with twin beds is very, very small. A chair to put on shoes would be good. The TV isn't necessary in such a small space. The two beds were very hard and uncomfortable.

  Jessica O from Brownstown, MI does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The Colorful Cocktail is a delightful place to stay. The place has enough room for four people to stay there comfortably. The condo has a lot of character with the artwork, deck and balcony just off of the smaller upstairs bedroom.
  The deck in the back was my father's favorite part of the house. The location is perfect too. If you want to hit Duval Street, it's two blocks away. If you want to hit a great bar that's off Duval, the Green Parrot is just a short block away. Maybe Mallory Square is too rowdy for your sunset watching needs? That's cool, the water front park scratches that itch with a more mellow mood.
  While I enjoyed my stay, I do have a couple of criticisms about the place. We had an ant problem in the kitchen upon arrival. I noticed it the night we got in. You may ask: Why would you use the kitchen? You're in Key West! My father has a medical condition and he requires a special diet, so we used the kitchen a little more than the average person. I did report it Compass Realty, they said exterminator services would be stopping by. Unfortunately we didn't see any evidence of it. We just kept the kitchen area meticulous and it seemed to mitigate the issue. The other problem was the air conditioning for the unit. It wasn't working properly and the Keys were having heat advisory warnings the week we stayed. The heating and cooling techs had to come out 3 different times before the air was fixed. Compass Realty did ensure it was fixed, however, so I'm grateful for their help.
  Overall I would recommend this, the location is great and the condo is very comfortable. I gotta knock it down a star because of the maintenance issues we had. A little preventative maintenance would have made this perfect place to stay instead of just a great place to stay.

  So easy to get to all the best restaurants, boat excursions and shopping. We biked or walked everywhere! Rental had everything we needed even lots of beach towels. It was a good size for the 4 of us and so nice to have 2.5 bathrooms!! Do wish they was a better way to access the keys after hours. Very inconvenient.

  Colorful Cocktail results in a perfect vacation. The four of us(some non related), had plenty of room, utilizing the bedrooms and the den futon. Beautifully accented with artwork and all necessary appliances, beach towels, etc. Perfectly located, only a block and a half from our favorite nightspot (Green Parrot). We would definitely stay here again. Only caveat is that management property not open on Saturday, the most popular rental day

Everything worked as it should (although light switches are very confusing). We enjoyed our stay here thoroughly.

  This is a lovely condo with great color. However, it does need a little maintenance. There were multiple lights with either wiring issues or bulbs out (upstairs shower, downstairs bedroom, stair lights), the flooring has major gaps from poor installation and will move on you if you're not careful, and the back french door lock kept sliding down and catching because the tape holding it was bad.

  This property was amazing! We loved the lay out and the decor. It was very clean. The place we stay on vacation is important, as I want it to be comfortable to hang out there. This property was very comfortable in every way. You can't beat the location in Key West, as it is in within walking distance to everything. Compass Realty was great to work with as well.
