Lavender Jungle by AvantStay | Great Location w/ Patio & Shared Pool!
Roof replacement project in Shipyard is scheduled to start on March 28, 2025, and is expected to take approximately 8-9 months to complete.

However, please be aware that there will be noise and construction activity during work hours. The work is done in sections so not all properties will be affected at the same time.

You are instantly soothed walking through the door of the Lavender Jungle, located in the Truman Annex, one of Key West's most attractive, quiet, and convenient neighborhoods. You’ll quickly see why its moniker fits when you notice the purplish-pink walls and African art that adorn the living space in this delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bath first-floor condo in the Shipyard section of the community. For those who don't want to climb stairs, this first-floor property is perfect!
The master bedroom with a queen bed and guest bedroom with two twins sit on either side of the full bathroom. There is a well-equipped, recently renovated kitchen for preparing meals when you want to (but remember there are amazing restaurants to sample within easy reach). A large brick patio is ready for your quiet nights relaxing at home or when you want to fire up the grill.
Truman Annex is a lushly landscaped gated community within the historic district of Old Town Key West. And the best part? Anything you want to do is within a couple of blocks – see the daily sunset celebration at Mallory Square; walk a couple of blocks to the infamous Duval Street with shops, galleries, and restaurants galore; and mere steps away to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park with one of the nicest beaches on our island and a perfect spot to view the sunset!
Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

Great location in Key West
This is a gem. Very well maintained and a perfect location. Although it is a ways from the complex entrance, the back door gives access to a street so it is perfect and we biked everywhere as well as having Uber pick us up there.

Cute Place. Great Location. Terrible Sleep.
This is an incredibly cute property, very conveniently located within walking distance from just about every major attraction in Key West. It has a full kitchen, a comfortable TV area, and a great back patio. The pool is also just a short walk away.
Sadly, I wouldn't stay here again because I didn't get a single night of quality sleep during my stay. The air conditioning unit is inconveniently located in closet in the main bedroom, two feet away from the bed. Every time the air conditioner went on, it sounded like a plane was taking off in the room. In addition, another device that sounded like a vacuum cleaner would turn on for ten seconds or so at random times throughout the night. If you're a light sleeper like me, this place is not for you.
The listing also mentioned bikes were included, and the combination to a bike lock was even provided on arrival. After an hour or so of looking for the bikes, I discovered from a previous Vrbo review that they didn't exist.
Lastly, it's worth noting that the check-in and check-out process require you to pick up and drop off the keys at a location more than a mile away from the property.
If it weren't for the air conditioner unit location, this would be an amazing place to stay.

Absolutely perfect location!
You cannot beat the location. A short walk to Duval street or to the most beautiful beach in key west. The property is adorable, clean and very well equipped. Beds are comfortable. There were 3 beach towels And 2 beach chairs that we used and very much appreciated. The condo has an adorable courtyard and is on a beautiful street in shipyard condo complex. Overall it was perfect for the two of us and we will rent here again. Our only negatives were that it lists bicycles as being included. Other renters said they were there. Upon checking in I asked Lisa about them and was told they are no longer included, however, in the condo there was a bike lock code to unlock bikes, but we had no idea where they were. So we had the additional expense of renting bikes that we did not expect. Also, the water in the shower does not get hot enough. The water from the faucets was very hot, but not the shower. After a long day at the beach it annoyed us , but wasn’t a deal breaker. We will definitely return!

Bungalow in paradise
Our bungalow in the Truman Annex was perfect! The location can’t be beat as you are a couple of blocks from Duval and the same to Fort Zachary Taylor beach. It was great to sit in the patio and barbecue if we didn’t eat at any of the amazing restaurants in the area.
The two bedrooms were great for three of us with plenty of room to relax.
Additionally the bikes were great to ride around town which we did every day!
If you want to stay at a place that’s nice and quiet at night and close to the action this is paradise in Key West.
