  Once again, our month long stay at Marlin Blue, as rented through Compass Realty, was amazing and we can't wait to come back next year.

  We were very excited to book the Marlin Blue and customer service was fantastic from start to finish however very disappointed with the a/c issues, we had to call 3 times, service came out and on the 3rd time we were asked to move as they couldn’t add coolant again. Why didn’t they just move us immediately when they knew there was trouble? It was muggy and hot in our unit all week. For paying nearly $5,000 we thought it would be top notch. Waiting to see if the manager will consider 3 night reimbursement.

  You cannot beat this location. You are close enough to everything you want to see but also tucked away where your evenings are quiet. The place looks exactly like the pictures and was very clean too. We highly recommend staying here!

  We had a great stay. The condo was beautiful and well kept up. It was very clean. It was close to Duval Street and all of our other activities. We enjoyed being able to have our grandchildren over to give their parents a break. We truly had a great time and will defiantly consider staying there again.

  Crystal N from KIRKLAND, WA recommends this vacation rental

  The property was gorgeous! I could absolutely see myself living there. It was well furnished, the bed and couch were extremely comfortable. It was a quick walk into downtown which was very convenient. There was a lot of room for entertaining too. We rented a few units nearby but always ended up at mine do the comfort and space.
  
  The only drawbacks were it was missing basic amenities. There was no dish soap or dishwasher detergent. There were only 1.5 rolls of TP. There was a small bar of soap in the bathroom that only lasted a few days and limited handsoap in the kitchen. Also, if you're a light sleeper like me bring earplugs. The roosters are very noisy!
  
  The other issue was both me and another group in our party confirmed before coming that the office could hold our luggage upon checkout. Our flight was at 5:30 PM and checkout was at 10:00 AM. When we arrived the office was closed and no one answered the phones. It was Memorial Day. I wish we had been told in advance as we were stuck with our luggage all day. We would have rented a car or picked an earlier flight if we'd known.
  
  Overall I really enjoyed my stay, I just wish I hadn't had to buy toilet paper etc.

  Julie H from Marshalltown, IA recommends this vacation rental

  We arrived at Key West to find the condo we rented (privately for 15+ years) had been sold and the owner failed to notify us. A call to Oscar @ Compass Realty & some quick work produced this condo to rent. Shipyard Condos is the perfect place to stay in Key West! Close to Duval, parking (you really don't need a car), a great pool & overall very nice people that are respectful (read no loud parties, etc.) Blue Marlin is a beautifully furnished very high class condo. We stay in a lot of condos during travel & this by far had the highest class furnishing & decorating, simply beautiful but also welcoming. The only negatives were quiet a bit of street & chicken noise & it is on the second floor so you must be able to climb stairs.

  It was our first stay at Truman Annex and made sure we rebooked for next year before leaving, as we will never be happy staying anywhere else in Key West now. Marlin Blue was our new home away from home and everything we needed; the condo was laid out perfectly. The staff at Compass Realty couldn't have been nicer.
