Another AMAZING stay at Island Queen'! Oct. 26, 2021
This was our third stay at Island Queen and I swear each time it gets better and better! The house is so welcoming and truly feels like a home away from home! The location could not be better. Walking distance to pretty much everything and close to the action but quiet and peaceful! Check in was so easy, and the house is super clean and well maintained. The owners are lovely and kind and always happy to help with anything you need, I HIGHLY recommend!

'Island Queen' is an Island Gem!
We truly enjoyed our stay ay 'Island Queen'. The villa is centrally located in walking distance to everything. It is a perfect rental for two couples as the en suite bedrooms are separated upstairs. Furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, if you decide to stay home instead of dining in any one of the many great restaurants Key West has to offer. Our host, Rosemary was very warm and helpful during the booking process. We cannot wait to return to another stay at Island Queen!

A week at 'Island Queen'!
I cannot say enough positive things about the wonderful'Island Queen'. The location in Truman Annex is the best in Key West. It's quiet, yet close to everything you want to see and do. The home itself is wonderful, it truly has everything you could possibly need. The furnishings are top notch in every room and the bathrooms are awesome! The kitchen has all of the equipment you need and the outside gas grill is great. We could tell immediately the care, pride and attention to detail the owners take. They are wonderful to deal with from reservation to checkout. I have been traveling to Key West for almost 30 years and this is the best place I have stayed.

Perfect spot for two couples
This was our 10th trip to Key West, and our first trip staying in a condo, rather than a hotel. This place is perfect for two couples. The lower level was a wonderful spot to spend time together in the mornings, or winding down in the evenings. Then head upstairs to the two bedrooms that are separated from each other by the stairway for complete privacy. Once in our room we never heard a peep from outside the room. Even the bathrooms are separate from the bedrooms. The bathrooms are very nicely equippd with great showers. The outside patio was a great place to enjoy morning coffee, and sometimes the occasional rooster. The first level has really high ceilings, which means the 18 steps up to the bedrooms was sometimes a challlenge after a long day of enjoying the tastes of Key West. The location is perfect. For the price we spent for 7 days, you'll have a difficult time finding a hotel room as nice for one couple, let alone two.

Hi Frank,
We are delighted you had an enjoyable stay at 'Island Queen' and we thank you for your kind comments!
We love our high ceilings but you do have to go upstairs to get to the bedrooms, unlike a hotel room - this is true.
For us, it's not too bad because we do not like low 8' ceilings and we love the light and feeling of space our 12 foot ceilings afford for most of the day and evenings.
You didn't mention the main floor 2 piece powder room that's very convenient for avoiding unnecessary trips upstairs during the daytime and evenings. LOL
We thank you for your thoughtful review and hope you come again! Thanks also for taking care of our home during your vacation!

AMAZING!!
This is a one of a kind rental. Beautiful home, spotless, perfect location, the most comfortable beds, etc. The owners were wonderful and easy to deal with but the icing on the cake is Connie! The woman that takes care of the place. We were there during the tropical storm/eta storm and Connie checked on us and went out of her way to make sure we were safe and had everything we needed in case of an emergency situation. Thank you Rosemary and Connie for a great place to stay and enjoy Key West

Another Wonderful Week at the Island Queen!!
I believe this was our 5th or 6th year we've stayed at the Island Queen and we are never disappointed. Thanks to Rosemary and Mark's meticulous care of their home, there are never any surprises. This property has always been immaculatey kept, continuously updated and offers such a unique opportunity to experience the island lifestyle. Location cannot be beat as everything Key West is just a quick walk away. Rosemary's property manager Connie was so great and very easy to work with. You can trust the owners to be as professional as they come. All the details are fine tuned and always taken care of and our security deposit was refunded before we even made it home. You just can't ask for more from a vacation rental property and its owners. We will always look forward to returning to this great property! Thank's once again for a wonderful week at your Key West home!!

‘Island Queen’ – Paradise!
This upscale property with it's expansive courtyard and well maintained landscaping is located in the beautiful gated community of Truman Annex. Having walked by it many times, it was my husband's and my dream to stay here, and we can't say enough about how special it was when we finally did! The owners love for and extreme pride in their home is evident everywhere and if you have high expectations and standards, this is the perfect place for you. Owners' house rules are explicit and easy to follow. This property is well suited for two adult couples and the pictures on this website represent exactly what you will find - beautifully appointed, very clean, and comfortable surroundings. Hotel rooms just don't compare to what you will find here. A car is not needed because within walking distance of this property are many restaurants, bars, historical sites, and sunset viewing locations including the very popular Mallory Square. If bike riding, fishing, water sports, or day and sunset cruises are on your itinerary, you will find many options within walking distance as well. While Fort Zachery Taylor Park is a short distance away and has a lot to offer, it can be a bit of a walk to the beach area. It was a pleasure working with Rosemary, and staying here again is on our bucket list!
Susan S. May 2019
Thanks for your kind comments about 'Island Queen'; we are delighted you had a wonderful vacation! Always happy to share our home with people, who take care of our property - and YOU most certainly did! When we go to Fort Zachary for a beach afternoon, we bike there - it only takes 5 minutes! You can rent them with locks, baskets from Eaton Bikes; they deliver and pick-up from the house; are reasonably priced and have great equipment. We hope you come again next year!Rosemary

So welcoming!!
We had driven through the Keys from Ft Lauderdale and arrived just at dusk. The care taken to make their home welcoming to us upon arrival was noticeable from the start, with the lights warmly lit as we opened the gorgeous French door. This home is so tastefully done and in an exquisite neighborhood, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Everything worth seeing is within walking distance. Thank you for lending us your beautiful home for the week. We plan to return often.

We love this place!!
We're just home from our second visit to The Island Queen and it definitely won't be our last. For both location and accommodations you won't find a better place to stay in Key West. It's beautiful. In fact, we had our wedding ceremony in the garden here during our most recent visit! Rosemary is so great to work with and takes such great care of this home. No detail is overlooked. It's within easy walking distance of Duval Street, Mallory Square and Key West Bight where the Conch Republic is located. We spent each afternoon by the pool enjoying the amazing April weather before heading to Duval for dinner and music each evening. You will be so glad you decided to stay here!
Dawn Allen S. April 2019

Fabulous accommodations in the heart of Key West!
This is our second time spending a week at Island Queen, and it was as wonderful this time as the last. The town home is beautifully decorated, and the layout with two separate and private bed/bath suites is perfect for two couples. The owners take great care to make sure your stay is delightful--upscale furnishings, premium linens, all the necessary kitchen utensils, beautiful bathrooms, outdoor grill and lovely private garden area. The location can't be beat--we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go-- from Duval for dinner and music in the evenings, to Mallory Square for sunsets, to Conch Republic and the harbor area for activities, and of course to the nearby pool which we visited daily. Connie, the property manager, met us upon check-in and took great care of us--she was awesome! If you are planning a trip to Key West, I highly recommend the Island Queen. As I said, we've been twice now and have every intention of going back again--you can't go wrong staying here!
