  a wonderful home. Well appointed kitchen, nice high end appliances. Well stocked for in home cooking, which we did often. Lovely, quiet neighborhood, genteel, quiet and only a few blocks from everything. Pool lovely, great for young kids, again a good number of chairs and chaise lounges for sunning and entertaining. A few small maintenance issues. Compass Realty very responsive, all issues got addressed same day.

  Love the house and location. Great pool area, nice kitchen and living space. House showing it's age a little bit - deck needs to be resurfaced/stained, showers need deep clean/grout replacement, living room chairs should be replaced, etc. But overall great space and would return!

  Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The home was spacious, beautifully designed, and spotless, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. The private pool was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine, offering a resort-like feel right in the backyard. The location couldn’t have been better—close to local shops, restaurants, and beaches, yet tucked away in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would happily return again.

  Queen Emma is a beautiful, spacious home with all the amenities, including a lovely outdoor space and pool.
  Queen Emma’s location in the quaint,
  manicured Truman Annex is convenient to everything, beach, restaurants and shopping/.
  The neighborhood has a residential feel - quiet and private.
  We loved every minute of our vacation!

  We have rented thru Compass Realty 5or 6 times in the past. This year we experienced an unfortunate plumbing problem is a really nice unit. The staff at C R were great, they found us an even better place to move into, no upcarge , helped wiyh the transfer, etc. Highly recommend them. Also the house was in Truman Annex which is a perfect place to stay.

  Andrew D from Smith’s, 09 recommends this vacation rental

  Good Afternoon all - please note the following:
  The pool was dirty and unusable the entire time we were there - never once was it cleaned, understanding the wind etc. The exterior car port lights do not work, which is a frustrating at night. A few of the ceiling lights did not work at all, in the kitchen. There was water dripping out of the A/C duct in the kitchen - towels and a bucket were left there. My wife reported this on the Sunday, and did not hear back from anyone that the repair was rectified. The shower head in the master bathroom, needs replacing - the center of the head does nothing. Whilst I am saying I would recommend the property to others below, the fact is that improvements to 514 Emma, should be actioned. We plan to be in Key West next year for the races, as we have been for the past 3 years. We pay a premium for these residences, and unfortunately feel the house did not meet our expectations. Happy to discuss further, if need be, anytime - my number is. Thanks, and have a great evening!

  I stayed with four other girlfriends for one week in this property. It was absolutely wonderful! Everything inside the house, furniture, rugs, bedding, etc. was well-maintained, and everything was in working, order . We had no problems. My bed and the bed of my friends were all super comfortable. The outside was lush and private, and very beautiful. The house looks exactly the way it does online. We loved it so much that we’re planning to book it again for next year.

  a guest from Midlothian, VA recommends this vacation rental

  The house and location were suburb. We had several maintenance issues while there, but most were addressed promptly. Grill was usable but the grate needs to be replaced, TV did not work properly, locks were either stuck or difficult to secure. Two kitchen cupboards were off their hinges. The grout on all three of the showers' tile floor was blackened with mold which was extremely unsightly. Dishwasher functioned but racks were missing wheels so difficult to maneuver. Fundamental maintenance has been overlooked. While basic supplies (TP, paper towels dish soap), were barely furnished, there was no dishwasher soap. While that is a small item, I truly believe for the cost of the weekly rental all of those items should have been generously available. Stair carpet and outside white chair cushions were very soiled and and somewhat moldy. I know these descriptions make the house seem less than ideal, but as I said it is a beautiful house in a great location that just needs some more care.

  We stayed in Queen Emma for the second time. She is a beautiful home with ample decks, including decks for all the upper bedrooms. Her kitchen is well appointed and modern. The pool is a welcome respite after a long day of sightseeing and shopping. She has a huge outdoor table for dining or games under fans in the evenings. A wonderful home away from home!

  Great house and suits the purpose intended for - a thorough go through to check and repair fixtures, locks, draws would be beneficial. Pool was not clean, and the pool chairs should be cleaned and around the pool to be used - they were stored in the parking overhang and dirty - not ideal. A/C had issues twice, which made evenings uncomfortable. I would stay there again, as the location works great for race week. Compass staff were helpful and kind - thank you!! Hope to be back next year

  Enjoyed our stay at the Queen Emma in the Truman Annex. It was lovely overall. There were only a few things that need to be addressed. The pool desperately needs an upgrade. It’s in bad condition. The locks on a few if the glass doors need to be repaired. The one knob continued to fall off every time. The master bedroom glass door did not lock. It was out of alignment. Finally, the rugs need to be cleaned better.

  Overall a great experience and have rented the same house for November 2023. Smoke detector sounded in the lower bedroom and had to be disconnected. There are others which were already disconnected in other rooms, upon our arrival - they should all be checked, cleaned and re-installed. Pool was somewhat dirty and the interior of the washing machine needed cleaning. Otherwise, loved the house and was happy with how clean everything was upon arrival. Regarding the parking bay, opposite the car port - we were told that it belonged to 514 Emma street , by two of the neighbors, however the office confirmed it did not - still unclear on this

  a guest from Naperville, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at Queen Emma under different ownership in the past. It's a fantastic property with a great outside space to cool off with the pool & relaxing or outdoor dining. It is well situated to many restaurants and bars. We stayed here with four couples and this time with our family of five adults. Plenty of room. I do have to say this time, though, I felt the property declined a tad with filthy carpeting upstairs which I took a video of and sent to Compass Realty with no response. I wouldn't walk on it barefoot! I expected more for the $$$ spent to rent for a week. Cleanliness is most important and it doesn't take much to shampoo the carpet. Communication with Compass Realty was great before arrival but once there I contacted them for a ironing board and was given a countertop small one with the promise of a full-size board to arrive. I had to remind them about the iron board when I received the small one and gave up when days passed without the full ironing board delivery. I also contacted them about the Damage Waiver upon my return home without any reply. Compass Realty can do much better. I paid a $350 cleaning fee but emptied every garbage and started a load of towel and stripped all beds...yet they could pay to have the carpets cleaned. The contract states "Compass agrees to provide the Premises in clean condition." I would still like to know if and when I will receive the Damage Waiver fee since no there was no damage to the property. Overall, I love the property but wish it was cleaned properly for our stay, that Compass would respond to communications and follow through with delivery of items if requested.

  The house was perfect. I'd buy it if I could afford it. Beautiful, great location, had all the amenities and space we wanted. The only downside was the place showed evidence of being overrun by renters. The furniture and floors were dirty and some details could use a bit of maintenance. Honestly, a cleaning crew spending more time in between check ins would solve the problem. The fees we paid should have included a better cleaning.

  Vickie M from Luana, IA recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first visit to Key West & renting a house. Plenty room for our group of 8. The property description was accurate, clean & well maintained, however the bedroom with twin beds was described as they can put the beds together to make a king, which I had personally requested for our stay, & that was not done. It would also be beneficial to put mirrors in the 2 bedrooms upstairs so that people sharing the bathroom can move to bedroom to finish getting ready to free up the bathroom. Also, putting up a list of the "do's & don't's" would be nice so everyone can review it upon arrival & instructions on departure. The backyard was GREAT! Very private with our own pool & enough lounge chairs & regular chairs to accommodate our group of 8 people. The location was only 3 blocks from Duval St. which we walked every day. The neighborhood was very quiet during our stay. We did most of our activities & eating on or around Duval St. We rented an 8 person golf cart one day & that was very reasonable! We arrived & departed after/before business hours to pick up/drop off keys. Those instructions were very helpful. I would definitely stay at this property again & would highly recommend this property to others!
