Southard Getaway by AvantStay | w/ Covered Patio, Great Location & Shared Pool
*Please note that this home is available for stays of 7+ days only. Starting January 1, 2026, it will be available for stays of 28+ days only.*
“Amazingly Perfect!” That is how one of our delighted guests reviewed Southard Getaway and we’re sure you’ll agree. Imagine arriving in Key West to this beach-like home within walking distance of all that Key West has to offer.
Located in the exclusive gated community of the Truman Annex, this tropical gem is decorated in hues of blue and green that remind you of the ocean. Fort Zachary Taylor Beach is only a short bike ride away.
Southard Getaway is a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom, 2-story townhome with upper and lower decks. Two queen bedrooms upstairs with a full bath between each, open to their own shaded decks to sit, relax, and while away the hours. Enjoy a meal out back on your private patio or take a dip in the sparkling community pool. Furnished with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and your own convenient parking spot, and the excitement of Mallory Square and Duval Street a mere two blocks away - this truly is paradise.
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!

Welcome winter getaway
The property is in an excellent location. Very close to everything we wanted to do. We were able to walk everywhere except to and from the airport.
I had expected the beds to be really horrible based on other reviews. Although they were not the best beds I've ever slept in they were acceptable.
The check-in and check-out process could be improved. The management company requires you to pick up and drop off the keys at their office location. If this was changed to be able to get into the property via an onsite keyless entry, I'd rate this higher.

Very nice but bed are uncomfortable. No TV in one of the bedrooms
Very nice and clean. Safe location. Needs a TV in 2nd bedroom. Beds uncomfortable. Perhaps a memory foam cover? Fully equipped with everything. Maybe more comfortable outdoor furniture. Had a really nice time.
