I absolutely loved this place, itâs a 5 minute walk to almost anything u want to do yet nice and quiet. Pool was great, there was enough amenities in the house to make it feel like a home. If u need a great place to stay, stay here u wonât regret it.

Beautiful view and great location! This is a very clean house with exceptional views of the water! Fabulous location so having a car or golf cart is not necessary. The property manager was very easy to work with and responded promptly. We definitely look forward to staying here next time!!!!

Amazing view, perfect location!
Rented the house for 4th of July week. Had some other couples join my wife and I. The view of water and cruise ships was fantastic. Truman Annex is a unique spot just blocks from all the action on Duval Street. Convenient parking place for unloading bags/groceries. The upstairs master bedroom is great, along with living room/dining area on 2nd floor. There is a new park being finished adjacent to the annex. Looks awesome. The only issues we had with the property; a TV from the 90's in the living room needs to be updated. Ice maker in the fridge didn't work. The guest bathroom downstairs is dated. Weeds (including poison ivy) next to the pool deck need attending. The pool itself could use some work as well. We're looking to be back next year. Just may rent an HD TV if need be. I understand that some owners won't put money into their place as long as it stays booked, which is a shame because this place could be perfect!

We have rented annually for 3 years and love this property. We would request extra kitchen towels (more than one please!!) and garbage bags. See you next year!

The booking process was easy. We needed a property that would accommodate 3 couples. The space and layout worked well. The property was clean and as described. The sunsets from the porch were delightful.

We had four couples stay in this beautiful home - everything was great. Could use more towels and beach towels, but we managed! Beautiful views, pool was wonderful, plenty of chairs outside and a great location! We will be back next year!
Very noisy! Next door to major renovation. Saws start at 8AM.

Hoping for a quiet escape but didnât get told by Compass that the house next door is going thru a 1/2 year renovation! They totally tore off the 2nd floor deck and back siding during our visit. Loud noise all day. Canât use back deck or pool bec of noise & Mexican radio. Donât stay here! No construction discount either.

The house was perfect for our group of 6. Would stay here again. Only issues were that the pool is smaller than appears in pictures, but still was well maintained. Only other issue was that the house next door was going through a full renovation, with lots of hammering and music. I'm sure if you stay in the future this will not be an issue. Highly recommend. Outside chairs could use a pressure washing. But that's still pool side.

This property was ideal for our 3 generation family getaway. Truman Annex is conveniently located for sightseeing, dining, and other activities. The Dolphin Watch property was very comfortably furnished with everything we wanted and needed. We especially enjoyed the pool area.Compass Realty is very easy to interact with, from reservation to check out.We'd definitely like to stay here again!

The location/view can't be beat! Easy walking distance to Mallory Square and Duval Street (you can also watch the sunset from your balcony), lovely decor, very clean. Love the plunge pool! Great place for our extended family. The home only has one parking spot. Since it sleeps 8, we had two cars. It would have been nice if free and paid parking options for a second car were provided so we didn't have to figure that out on our own. (Yes, there are free street parking options!)Suggestions for improvement include a better-equipped kitchen. The basics were there, but for the price and the number of people the house sleeps, we expected things like a large frying pan, storage containers for leftovers, serving dishes, an ice cream scoop, and other things most guests are used to at home. Another suggestion is shelving in the twin bedroom closet, as there is not room for a dresser in the room. Can't say much about the managers because we had no real contact from them. We checked in on a weekend, picking up the key from a lockbox because the office is only open M-F. (Surprised there isn't an electronic lock for security, and so guests don't have to pick up/drop off the key.) A hurricane/tropical storm was forecast, the house faces the water, but no one reached out to ask if we had concerns/needed guidance. The wifi went out on a weekday, but no one answered the phone or called us back (the wifi came back on a few hours later, so was probably a cable company issue). That said, overall it's a great place! Would stay here again.
Our entire party enjoyed staying at this property. The house is nice and the location is close enough to Duval to walk, but still very quiet and peaceful. Great view of the water to watch boats come and go. We had 5 people and everyone was comfortable both inside and out. The downstairs master bed still had the stripped sheets from the previous renters laying on it when we arrived, but if having to make a bed upon arrival is the worst thing that happens on vacation, then youâre doing good. We would stay here again for sure.
The house was great. Very comfortable and spacious. Walking distance from many great places and restaurants. We barely used the card. Love hearing the Star Spangled Banner in the mornings. The view from the terrace was just perfect.
This was our 3rd time staying at this property in Key West and it was, again, an excellent stay! The location canât be beat...within walking distance to everything, clean and secure within the Truman Annex, and the home itself is wonderful! Great pool, amazing views and plenty of space for everyone. Working with Compass was a very smooth process as well and they were always prompt when I had questions. We would highly recommend this property to any group traveling to Key West. Canât wait to return for trip #4!
We absolutely loved our stay at Dolphin Watch. We were 7 adults and it was the perfect size. The view from the balcony is beautiful. The pool was wonderful and we used it every day. Its the perfect location; close to everything. We rented bicycles and either rode them or walked. We did have some confusion with getting the gate keys but got that resolved the 2nd day. Would highly recommend this property however, we noticed the price has gone up considerably since our booking.
We stayed 11 days at Dolphin Watch. The property was perfect for our two families, the house came with everything you might need during your stay. We will definitely be back.
House was comfortable, beautiful view, well designed and decorated. Convenient location for walking to town and biking the park. Beds are super comfortable. Gave 4 star instead of 5 because some supplies were minimal or not there. Example, only 2 wine glasses in the house. No paper or pen.
No laundry basket. Inconvenient to carry loads of laundry up and down the stairs.
First time using VRBO. Was very impressed and pleased with the the process. Completely satisfied with the property and had a great vacation. Photographs of the property were exactly what the property was and then some. Lots of storage space, plenty of extra bedding available in the closets, washer and dryer worked very well (although both could have been larger) and kitchen appliances were very good. The only item we could have used were some pool instructions and we would have gladly cleaned the pool since we used it every day.
We did find it difficult to get into the facility and finding the entrance after picking up the keys (but then again we had 6 people giving instructions on how to get to the property).
Would not hesitate on using this facility again.
This home is beautiful on the inside and has a beautiful view. A couple of issues: Foundational problems that caused large cracks (actually had to tell my daughter not to step on them and enter her bed from the other side) in the tile in two of the downstairs bedrooms. Master bedroom has open windows on the stairway so there is no privacy from a noise perspective even when everything is closed. Pool needs to be resurfaced as my friend scraped herself up pretty badly. Despite all of my complaints, it's a very beautiful and comfortable home. Big thumbs up on the oversupply of cushy beach towels as well. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable spot for R&R
Overall a very well equipped house - nice kitchen in particular. The lay-out is very comfortable for a family or several couples. The location is also very good - in the quiet Truman Annex, but within easy walking distance to many great restaurants and Mallory Square. There was lots of rain during our stay which caused a small leak in the living room - a maintenance man came to check it out when we reported it but was not able to repair it because of the rain. Hopefully that will be addressed before the next rainstorm.
