Wonderful stay!
Review by Alicia C.
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.

QUEEN EMMA in the Truman Annex Key West
Review by Eva
We were celebrating the 20th anniversary of my husband's 40th birthday -- which we'd spent in Key West (the theme then was A Pirate Looks at 40; original, I know). In any event, this was truly one of the nicest properties I've rented through VRBO. The house was lovely, fitting in the neo-traditional neighborhood that is Truman Annex. Well-equipped and comfortable; we had every thing we needed. Lush landscaping and gorgeous outdoor space. The pool could use an update, but it didn't hinder our enjoyment of it. And, most importantly, the location was awesome. We could get anywhere we wanted either on foot or via the bikes we'd rented. Beach, bar and restaurant. I would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break in Key West
Review by
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 love Queen Emma!
Review by Kay G.
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!

Key West 2023 - Boat Racing!
Review by Andrew D.
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

Queen Emma
Review by
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.

Gorgeous Queen Emma
Review by Tina C.
This is a gorgeous home located in Truman Annex. This home has everything you need! The kitchen is fabulous! The outdoor space is very private and has a great pool! Queen Emma is located near great restaurants, The Waterfront Park, Mallory square and Fort Zachery State Park. There are plenty of activities to see and do! We will definitely be back to this location! Compass reality was professional, kind and accommodating!

QUEEN EMMA in the Truman Annex Key West
Review by Paige
We had a great time on our family vacation!! We were a group of 6. The location was perfect for our 20 something kids to walk to bars and restaurants. Something to do for everyone. The bike rental at We Cycle is super close to the house so it was really easy to rent bikes. Ft Zachary Taylor beach was lovely and also really close to the house. Everyone in our group said the house and location was perfect and we would definitely rent this house again!!

This home in Truman Annex is wonderful! Expansive kitchen and outside dining table. Just perfect pool size. A garage to park your car. Comfortable living areas inside and outside. In the heart of all activities in KW and easy walks to your favorite establishments.

QUEEN EMMA in the Truman Annex Key West
Review by Kay
We truly enjoyed this house. The backyard is private and the pool is the perfect size for a small group. The patio is set with a beautiful table and chairs for outdoor dining. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and has ample refrigeration and freezer space.

DeCosta's Get away!
Review by Andrew D.
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

Beautiful Property
Review by
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.

Review by Danielle B.
This is the 2nd year we stayed at Queen Emma for 2 weeks in April and we love this property. It’s well appointed, close to everything, in a gated community and the property management company does a good job. I’d love to stay here again and again !

Family Thanksgiving
Review by Pamela L.
Our rental, Queen Emma, was perfect for us. Plenty of space inside & beautiful outdoor space. Thoroughly enjoyed by my children & grandchildren. Part of our crew stayed in the Foundry & used our place as gathering point. Even had a turkey roasting pan!

The home was exactly what I wanted and needed. My family and I were extremely comfortable and enjoyed the house and pool when not out and about in Key West. Compass Realty reps were fabulous! This is the second time I rent a house in Key West from them and they did not disappoint!

We loved this home! It had plenty of amenities- including cleaning supplies, which is a definite plus!! Lots of towels and extra bedding! The pool was perfect for the six of us (adults) to cool down in the hot afternoons. Plenty of outdoor seating. Perfect location to walk to everything in Old Town. Highly recommend!!

BEAUTIFUL HOME WITH GREAT LOCATION
Review by James S.
THIS HOME IS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL, BUT YOU CAN'T ASK FOR A BETTER LOCATION. THE PEOPLE AT COMPASS REALTY WERE VERY HELPFUL IN STORING OUR LUGGAGE WHEN WE ARRIVED UNTIL WE COULD GET INTO THE RESIDENCE. WE HAD A VERY PLEASANT EVPERIENCE AND A WONDERFUL VACATION IN KEY WEST.

Love the location and the living
Review by Elizabeth T.
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.

Queen Emma @ the Truman Annex
Review by Vickie M.
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!
