GARDEN OASIS ~ Private!

Everything was great, as always. We have rented this location for a few years now. This year, the main house A/C went out. This is completely understandable. It has happened to us at our home near Tampa. The rental company and property owner went out of their way to make us comfortable. The rental agent had three free standing A/C units and a window unit delivered and installed. The owner was concerned they might not be enough and had two more freestanding units delivered overnight. The A/C parts arrived and the unit was repaired the next day. We could not ask for better service.

This was our fifth visit to this house so it would be difficult to say anything bad about it. The location is perfect, quiet and private but not too far from anything we wanted to do or see. It has a nice, big fenced in backyard which is great for dogs. Meanie, the property manager, was very attentive and responsive to our needs. She was so easy to work with.

We have been renting single family houses in the Keys for at least 15 years. We have rented this house in three of the last four years. It ranks among our very favorite. It is in a great location, very spacious, with an ideal backyard. Also, its important to have a responsive property manager, as issues do arise. Ours, this year and last, was Melanie, who, like the house, is one of the best.

We had plenty of room for everyone & the outdoor areas were as nice as the indoors! Melanie, the property manager, granted our every wish. Fabulous location with tons of off street parking. AND a great pool.

Everything from booking, check-in, our month-long stay, and check-out was excellent. The location works out perfect for us. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood with a friendly neighbor next door. It is an easy walk to the White Street Pier and Higgs Beach. Duval Street is an easy bike ride away, and bicycles are supplied with the property. By Key West standards, the property is very large with a nice backyard. Therecis plenty of off-street parking, with is a rarity. The interior of the home is very nice and tastefully updated. The rental company is easy to work with and responsive to any questions. There is nothing I can say negatively about ourcexperience.

Our second time staying at this property. As in the past, we were overall very satisfied with the home. Indeed, we have already rented it for another two months in 2023. The house was very clean and had all of the amenities we would expect. It has a great location with easy access to the main roads that take you downtown as well as off the island; also a quiet location. We ate out most often but the few times we did cook the kitchen contained a good selection of cooking utensils. Also, we have two dogs and it is a great house for dogs; big, fenced in backyard. We have rented many Florida Keys single family homes over the years and this is one of our favorites. Experience also suggests that you need a good property manager that responds in a timely fashion and addresses your concerns. We had Melanie and she is among the best we have ever had; we hope she will be the manager when we rent in 2023.

We “lived” at Garden Oasis for month of July, we really lived! The home was perfect. It was super clean, in excellent condition and was in a great location. It was private and felt secluded but we were so close to everything. The property manager was an A+ She was very attentive to our needs and requests.

A beautiful home in a great location. We have rented many single family homes over the years in the Florida Keys and this rates as one of the finest.

The home was inviting and very clean. The covered porch overlooking the garden was our favorite spot. The pool was also a favorite. The back yard vegetation is beautiful, loved the privacy. This was our second visit here and loved it both times! Jana at Truman Properties was amazing to work with.

This home is absolutely "True Island Elegance"! From the moment you step onto the front porch, you feel like you are home. As you step in, the elegance of the home is apparent. With three bedrooms in the main house and a detached guest cottage, 8 can sleep very comfortably. The back deck, pool and private "garden oasis" was so relaxing I didn't want to leave! But when I did, I didn't have to go far to be at restaurants, beaches and shops. Duval Street was a 10 minute walk/5 minute bike ride. Beaches only a 15 minute bike ride. We never had to get back in the car. When returning to Key West, this is the only way I want to stay!

As we pulled up the cabbie remarked, "nice house." I did not make the reservation nor see pictures and was delighted by the lovely appointed home. The kitchen was full of every appliance and kitchenware needed to whip up a meal for plenty. We especially loved hanging outside on the patio overlooking the landscaping and pool. Make sure to take the bikes out and peddle minutes away to several restaurants, bars and live music. Visit Southernmost Beach Cafe for all three. Around the corner is Sandy's Cafe open all day. They serve coffee & delicious Cuban sandwiches. They deliver, just make sure to give yourself plenty of time. We rode our bikes to the grocery store (across from Sandy's) and filled the baskets with food. Fun adventure! We will definitively return! Thank you!

Wonderful home with all the perks! This home was a perfect location and features for our girls trip. Plenty of space for everyone plus the beautiful decor, gorgeous garden backyard (awesome privacy), pool with fountain which we loved!!! The guest house was incredible and would be great for multiple families who would like their own space but still be apart of the main group. Easy walk or bike to restruants, shopping and the best sites in Key West. I can't wait to come back!!!

My husband and I stayed here and never wanted to leave - we can't wait to return. Everything was beyond our expectations. The pool has to be the best pool in Key West, it's quite large for a house on that island and is beautiful. The backyard is like walking into your very own rainforest, there are all SORTS of fruit trees. We picked star fruit, mangos, lemons and limes - we would have picked bananas and papaya but didn't take the risk. We spend most of our time in the large fenced in backyard, sun bathing or lounging on the comfortable furniture offered in the shade (it's seriously a living room outside!). The owner also has 4 bikes that we used for all our transportation, did I mention they have cup holders ;) We went to a few local bars (Green Parrot bar? GREAT music), went to a terrific cuban restaurant and when we needed anything from groceries, beer or a young coconut to drink the water there is a store a few blocks away. Everything in the house is amazing as you can see in the pictures, bed was quite comfortable! Highly recommend and can't wait to return!
