Fantastic outdoor oasis

This house was top quality throughout and the management team was excellent. Highly recommend for families. Everything was clean and worked well. Pool was fantastic. I personally didn't love being in the Truman Complex because of the locked gates, but others may love it. It just means you have a slightly longer walk home from all but the Green Parrot after 10 pm.

Incredible Place

The highlight of this property is the outdoor space next to the pool. The family spent a lot of time reading and relaxing outside. More than enough room for everyone.

Top Notch Service

Our Family just stayed at The Royal Compound in the Truman Annex and had the absolute best time! This is our 2nd time staying at this property and working with Last Key Realty and their representative Shel. Top notch service and experience all the way. Thanks again Shel and we'll be renting again soon.

Our Little Bit of Heaven

Last Key was amazing from the time of our booking to the time of our departure. They see to every last detail to ensure that your visit is perfect in every way. Our manager Shel was always available and often stopped by to see if we needed anything and if all was going well. The properties they manage are beautiful and fabulous in every. We stayed 3 weeks this time and are headed back for a month in November. We’ve found our little bit of heaven here with the help of Last Key Realty.

Truly an Amazing Property

From the main house to the two separate master bedroom buildings. Unbelievable outdoor kitchen and bar complete with all appliances, stainless BBQ grill and wall mounted tv. Fully furnished gazebo with fans next to a spectacular pool with waterfall. Very well landscaped with lush vegetation, bamboo, and 90’ Coconut Palms making the whole Compound very secluded. Inside of the main house was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. All appliances were high end and were a pleasure to use. The whole property was very well maintained and the staff of the management company was available anytime and very efficient in every manner. The Royal Compound, along with its prime location would be a dream vacation for anyone!

Paradise in perfect location

This a perfect spot for a large family or group to relax and check out Key West. Located in a quiet gated community, the Truman Annex, this is a very private compound with a large main house with 3 bedrooms, a separate master suite house and a back cottage with queen bed and bathroom. The center of the property contains a great pool, large pergola deck and hot tub. Very quite and secluded by beautiful landscaping. Quick walk to watch the sunset on the square or to check out Duval street. One of the nicest properties we’ve ever stayed at.

This Property made our Vacation Amazing

The listing is good, but doesn't quite prepare you for just how nice this property actually is. We had 2 families stay in this house and this property is what made our vacation amazing. We had lots of activites in Key West but the kids often just wanted to come hang out at the pool and back patio as well. Overall and wonderful experience and Shel, property manager, was wonderful.

Royal Compound and Last Key Realty

We loved our stay at the Royal Compound - it's truly "royal." We are already planning a return visit! Highly recommended property. Also, big thanks to Shel from Last Key Realty for doing such a great job assisting us with every need.

It was definitely "Royal"

Beautiful accommodations, great people to rent from. They thought of everything in this home, It lacked nothing!

Top of the line

The property was exactly what it looked like in the photos: clean, beautiful, immaculate all around. Couldn't have been better stocked for all our needs and Shel was as responsive as any property manager could be. We immediately booked another property with Last Key Realty upon leaving.

Best Vacation Rental in Key West!

The Royal Compound is the best vacation rental on the island of Key West, and Last Key leaves no stone unturned in terms of guest satisfaction. The house itself is warm and welcoming and spacious, and the two separate houses containing master bedrooms are even more stunning. The pool, outdoor bar, deck, and hot tub are all incredible areas to commune with family and friends. Additionally, this is perhaps the best possible location on the island, being in the quiet comfort of the Truman annex, but only a three minute walk to all of the action. I cannot recommend the Royal Compound, Last Key, and our gracious concierge Shel enough.

Festive stay in Key West

After canceling plans to Hawaii, we opted for a get away within driving distance. The house was awesome and a bike ride to everything. The pool offers a tranquil setting and there is plenty of space to relax and enjoy.

Not apparent in the photos are the excellent, responsive service of the property manager and extremely well stocked kitchen. A perfect setting for our family Thanksgiving!

10 day KW vacay

We booked The Royal Compound in Key West for a 10 day vacation. The home is as wonderful as the photos show! We have several friends come stay a night or two while we where there. The location is wonderful and Shel, our personal assistant was wonderful. We will be back.

Highly recommend staying here

My whole family loved the house, The Royal Compound, we rented from Last Key Realty. It was so beautiful and clean. The pictures online are exactly what you're getting plus more. The main reason I chose that house was the beautiful outdoor area and pool along with room for all family members to have their own space. It was perfect! I had mentioned to my Last Key agent, Shel, that we were celebrating my mom's birthday and he had her a key lime pie with a birthday candle on it when we arrived. She was thrilled. It’s the little details that matter. Nothing compares to the service and experience that we received on our Key West vacation through Last Key Realty. I cannot recommend them enough. We will be returning!

The Royal Compound is fit for many kings and queens!

Holy smokes...where do I begin? What a gorgeous house! From the moment we walked in we were blown away. The pool is insane, the outdoor area spacious, the 2 kitchens more than enough! It???s in a great area, far enough away to feel private and close enough to walk or bike anywhere. We have stayed at several Last Key homes in the last couple years and while all of them were awesome in their own ways, this one takes the key lime pie! ;)

Impressive!!!

Very impressed with Last Key Realty for our rental in Key West. The two homes we rented were beautiful, extremely clean and had a kitchens stocked with everything we needed for our large dinners at home. Last Key’s Conceirge went above and beyond to get us a last minute golf cart, reservations for dinner, scheduled delivery for breakfast and delivery of lunches packed and ready for our day out on the boat. Shel who had the homes ready before we arrived, checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed and couldn’t be nicer! We absolutely will only rent from Last Key for all future trips to Key West. Thank you Last Key for making our trip amazing!

Excellent property and service

We rented the home for 9 nights and it was in excellent condition and surpassed our expectations. It is very spacious with much outdoors space, in door living space, and larger bedrooms so your group will not feel on top of each other. The extra space provided by the outdoor kitchen and outdoor living room really are enjoyable and useful. The kitchen is very well stocked for making lunches and dinners. The location is excellent for anything you would like to do in Key West. Rounding out the great experience is the management company. They are extremely organized and responsive and have a team willing to help you with anything that you need at the property and to plan any excursions or reservations - such an extra and helpful service. All in all an excellent experience.

Another great Key West vacation with Last Key

My family and I have been renting homes through Last Key Realty for almost five years. We always know when we book through LKR that we will be well cared for, with each home being clean, properly maintained, and well stocked. We had the privilege of staying in the Royal Compound on our past visit. The children loved swimming in the large, warm pool and the adults enjoyed R&R under the open, covered porch. I highly recommend both Last Key Realty and the Royal Compound. Until next time, Key West!

Last Key is always first choice!

We try to make it to Key West at least once every year. Five years ago we found Last Key and Shel! We are so glad we did! They are hands down the best! Shel is the greatest and super accommodating and always there if there is anything needed! To speak to The Royal Compound .. wow. Just wow. This immaculate property is beyond impressive. It is beautifully landscaped and secluded all while being a short walk from Duval life! (Even though we always get scooters and a cart lol!) We travel with a fairly large group, bringing together four households under one roof (or in this case one property). The Compound handled it with ease! No one was cramped or running over each other, we even had room to spare! As always, everything was perfect! We can not recommend The Compound and especially Last Key (and Shel!) enough!

The Most Perfect Guest Experience

The home at 101 Admirals Lane is the most perfect guest experience I've ever had. 2 fully equip kitchens make you want to run to Faustos' and cook dinner instead of dine out. The pool and lounge area are top knotch and the two guest cottages are great for multiple family privacy. If you need a crib, entertainment, someone to go grocery shopping for you, bikes delivered to the house, anything...Last Key will get it arranged. I was so surprised. The master guest cottage had a private lanai off the side and a vanity/closet setup that's anyone's dream. In house amenities include a Keurig, Kitchen Aid stand mixer, all the pots, pans, cutlery, bottle openers, spices, and small appliances you could think of, paper, plastic, and glass plates for any occasion, a table with variable placemat choices, 5 bedrooms, 3 indoor seating areas (one in room), 4 bathrooms (each guest cottage and floor has their own), complete seclusion from the road, a portable speaker for the outdoor kitchen/pool area, a Weber grill, an industrial sized ice maker, a 6ft pool with water feature around the edge, parking for 4 cars, and more than I can list. We had an engagment, honeymoon, and wedding to celebrate; and this place was perfect for these occasions. When the weather looked dicey, we realized the ambience of the location made for a great plan B with the large covered patio. Shel was a great host, took care of anything we needed, and made our stay more delightful. Not only will we return to this company for visits, we will be calling this company when we decide to move to Key West.

Exceptional property in the exclusive Truman Annex area. Location was fantastic. Close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood. Last Key Realty (Shel) was excellent to work with. He gave us great recommendations. Concierge service was also wonderful. Property is in brand new condition and well appointed. Perfect for a family of 3 or 4. We would definitely come again.

Amazing Property!

We have been coming down to Key West for spring break many of years with the whole family. We always stayed at Sunset Key. We decide to change it up. We are so glad we did, this property was AMAZING!!!! It had everything we were looking for!!! Everyone had there own space with the guest suits, great outdoor living and full kitchen area, beautifully pool and backyard. We could not ask for a better location close that you can walk/bike into town but far enough to have our privacy. The house has everything you want for tropical vacation. Shel Segel from Last Key Realty was a wonderful host making sure we felt right at home. Thank you again for making family memories for us!!! See you next year.

We would definitely use Last Key again

We rented Plantation Tropicale in early December, 2018 for a gathering of friends and family. The privately situated suites ensured a pleasant time for all. The luxuriously decorated pool area with covered patio allowed us to enjoy the outdoors at any time of day. The kitchen was complete, every device and tool we needed was there. The neighborhood was quiet yet within in easy walking distance to everything we wanted to do. Shel was as gracious as ever, meeting us on arrival and immediately attending to a door lock which wouldn't work.

Shel Segel and Last Key Realty really hit our stay at Plantation Tropicale out of the park. We stayed from 1/05/19 through 1/12/19 and loved every minute of it. A few highlights: We loved the outdoor covered area and spent many hours talking and hanging out. We watching the NFL Playoffs at he outdoor bar and the kids LOVED the very large and inviting pool. We had issues with the pool heater and Shel and team went above and beyond to make it right for us, which made a very cold pool a non issue. Thanks again to Shel and enjoy this wonderful rental as our family did!

Special place for a special time.

Our son was recently married in Key West, and we wanted a special meeting place for the many out of town relatives & guests. Plantation Tropical was the perfect choice. First of all the facility set up perfectly for a wide variety of functions, from communing around the large outdoor kitchen, lounging in the grotto-style pool, to late night chats in the awesome gazebo area. The home was versatile, comfortable, and picturesque. The photographer took full advantage the lush landscaping for exquisite pre-wedding photos, and the wedding party used varies areas of house to prepare for the event. But, it wouldn't have been the same without the terrific work of Shel Segel and the fine folks at Last Key Realty. Shel was the quintessential host, and helped us with details, provisions and recommendations, and the Last Key Concierge was there to help arrange any last minute excursions. We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for casual luxury, and a great open floor plan. Thanks again to Shel & Last Key... awesome job helping create a lasting memory.

PERFECT property with the PERFECT MANAGER!!!

We go to Key West every year for vacation and try to utilize Last Key Realty for the house we choose to stay at. This year we were lucky enough to not only locate an AMAZING property but we had the pleasure of having Shel Segel as our manager and host!! Without a doubt this property has anything and everything you could possibly want or need at your fingertips! Upon arrival, Shel was waiting for us to give the grand tour and provide us with any and all info that we might need while in Key West. Shel checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and assured us he was always a phone call or text away if we needed ANYTHING! If you are looking for the perfect house to relax, entertain, cook or just have a cocktail by the pool this is the place and your in the best hands possible with Shel!! ENJOY!

A special family vacation

Plantation Tropical was indeed a tropical paradise. The house certainly lived up to our expectations. For our Family Vacation we chose this home as our gathering place for our 26 family members. The outdoor kitchen and eating bar were superb in filling our outdoor dining needs. The pool and covered area were exceptional, and easily accommodated our family. This house was recommended by Alex at Last Key Realty for our family in the Truman Annex within easy walking distance of our 3 other Annex rental units. Shel was a gem in helping us get settled and able to answer any questions about Key West. For our restaurant dining we chose one of Shel's favorite restaurants -El Siboney, which was able to handle our family size easily, good food, and a wonderful evening. The vacation will have lasting memories for all of us. Thanks, Shel

Fabulous!!!!!

We shared a great week with friends and family. The house is so beautiful and has so many amenities, we were torn between staying put and venturing out into Key West. The pool and outside living room are where we spent most of our time. The Truman White House is literally across the street. We walked to Mallory Square, Duval St and the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor. The Truman Annex is very quiet. Thanks Shel for a memorable week.!!!!
Elizabeth G. - Posted: 2/26/2017

Incredible house, superlative service!

The property is probably the largest and best in Truman Annex, but it is small thing compared to the service that we received from both Shel and Alex. Both went out of their way to make us, a lot of us!, feel at home, were very responsive and solved problems in a matter of minutes. We would strongly recommend them to anyone! Thank you.

Magnificient

We make an annual trip to key west every year. this is our first time staying at plantation tropicale. the house was unbelievable especially the out door space. As has been the case for all of our stays, Shel was terrific. He took care of everything for us from receiving our golf clubs that we shipped, to stocking the house with our favorite food and beverages before we arrived to recommending the best restaurants just to name a few things. He clearly is a gem and we truly look forward to seeing him every year. He is the reason the trip always is a joy.......thanks again shel, see you next year.

Quintessential Wedding Reception Venue

When my fiancé and I decided to have our wedding and reception in Key West for our small wedding we looked at numerous venues in the area. After many hours of research we decided on booking the Plantation Tropicale @ The Annex for the lodging of immediate family as well as to hold our wedding reception. We stayed for 6 nights and couldn't have been happier with not only the expansive house but the pool area and two guest cottages. The listing description was 100% accurate and the house as well as pool area and yard was clean and well-maintained. Shel Segel was our Concierge and he couldn't have been more helpful. His customer service was outstanding as he touched base with us daily to ensure not only our needs but the needs of our family and guests were met during our stay. The house is conveniently located and only a very short walk to Front and Duval Streets and all that Key West has to offer. I would highly recommend booking this outstanding property!

Location

Description

Located in the Truman Annex, a gated community with some of the most impressive homes in Key West, this meticulously furnished estate occupies an entire block, making it the largest single property in the Annex. Formerly referred to as "Plantation Tropicale," with three dwellings, two kitchens (one indoor, one outdoor), a very large pool and enough surrounding property to provide the ultimate in privacy, THE ROYAL COMPOUND provides an exclusively luxurious setting right in the heart of Old Town Key West.

THE LIVING AREA & INDOOR KITCHEN...

Inside, the main living area of THE ROYAL COMPOUND has four sets of French doors with large transoms that fill the whole space with light. There's also a large fireplace, unique in Key West. The formal dining table seats eight comfortably. A second sitting room is perfect if you want to be by yourself for a good read. The kitchen is state-of-the-art, and suitable for a professional chef, with double ovens, a huge Sub Zero fridge/freezer, ice maker and plenty of prep space.

THE PRIVATE POOL & OUTDOOR KITCHEN....

The pool area of THE ROYAL COMPOUND is unique. The spacious patio surrounding the pool is paved in Travertine, with room for eight chaises. Then, there's the pavilion-style porch that seems to float above the very large pool, with enough seating for the entire group under outdoor ceiling fans hung from the vaulted ceiling of the pavilion. The pool has a waterfall that flows from the edge of the porch. Very dramatic. Finally, there's the outdoor bar with a summer kitchen including a full refrigerator; large enough for a party or poolside BBQ any time.

Compliance with Truman Annex Community Rules & Regulations is expected of all Last Key guests. This includes “Quiet Time” in all outdoor areas, public and private, after 10PM.

THE ACCOMMODATIONS...

The sprawling, multi-dwelling layout of this estate is one of the most unique features. Truly fit for the Royal Family, you'll spread out in the following accommodations:

** First Master Suite: Located in its' own private house with a King bed, a private pavilion, a large flat screen TV, a huge en suite bathroom with two vanities and an oversized shower.

** Second Master Suite: Located in its' own private house with a King bed, a flat screen TV, a sitting area, and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

** Third Bedroom: Located downstairs in the main house with Two Twins OR One King, a flat screen TV, and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

** Fourth Bedroom: Located upstairs in the Main House with Two Twins OR One King, a flat screen TV, direct access to the private balcony, and access to the shared upstairs bathroom with with twin vanities and a shower and tub combination.

** Fifth Bedroom: Located upstairs in the Main House with a King bed, a sitting area, and access to the shared upstairs bathroom with with twin vanities and a shower and tub combination.

This house was top quality throughout and the management team was excellent. Highly recommend for families. Everything was clean and worked well. Pool was fantastic. I personally didn't love being in the Truman Complex because of the locked gates, but others may love it. It just means you have a slightly longer walk home from all but the Green Parrot after 10 pm.

Our Family just stayed at The Royal Compound in the Truman Annex and had the absolute best time! This is our 2nd time staying at this property and working with Last Key Realty and their representative Shel. Top notch service and experience all the way. Thanks again Shel and we'll be renting again soon.

Last Key was amazing from the time of our booking to the time of our departure. They see to every last detail to ensure that your visit is perfect in every way. Our manager Shel was always available and often stopped by to see if we needed anything and if all was going well. The properties they manage are beautiful and fabulous in every. We stayed 3 weeks this time and are headed back for a month in November. We’ve found our little bit of heaven here with the help of Last Key Realty.

From the main house to the two separate master bedroom buildings. Unbelievable outdoor kitchen and bar complete with all appliances, stainless BBQ grill and wall mounted tv. Fully furnished gazebo with fans next to a spectacular pool with waterfall. Very well landscaped with lush vegetation, bamboo, and 90’ Coconut Palms making the whole Compound very secluded. Inside of the main house was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. All appliances were high end and were a pleasure to use. The whole property was very well maintained and the staff of the management company was available anytime and very efficient in every manner. The Royal Compound, along with its prime location would be a dream vacation for anyone!

This a perfect spot for a large family or group to relax and check out Key West. Located in a quiet gated community, the Truman Annex, this is a very private compound with a large main house with 3 bedrooms, a separate master suite house and a back cottage with queen bed and bathroom. The center of the property contains a great pool, large pergola deck and hot tub. Very quite and secluded by beautiful landscaping. Quick walk to watch the sunset on the square or to check out Duval street. One of the nicest properties we’ve ever stayed at.

The listing is good, but doesn't quite prepare you for just how nice this property actually is. We had 2 families stay in this house and this property is what made our vacation amazing. We had lots of activites in Key West but the kids often just wanted to come hang out at the pool and back patio as well. Overall and wonderful experience and Shel, property manager, was wonderful.

The property was exactly what it looked like in the photos: clean, beautiful, immaculate all around. Couldn't have been better stocked for all our needs and Shel was as responsive as any property manager could be. We immediately booked another property with Last Key Realty upon leaving.

The Royal Compound is the best vacation rental on the island of Key West, and Last Key leaves no stone unturned in terms of guest satisfaction. The house itself is warm and welcoming and spacious, and the two separate houses containing master bedrooms are even more stunning. The pool, outdoor bar, deck, and hot tub are all incredible areas to commune with family and friends. Additionally, this is perhaps the best possible location on the island, being in the quiet comfort of the Truman annex, but only a three minute walk to all of the action. I cannot recommend the Royal Compound, Last Key, and our gracious concierge Shel enough.

My whole family loved the house, The Royal Compound, we rented from Last Key Realty. It was so beautiful and clean. The pictures online are exactly what you're getting plus more. The main reason I chose that house was the beautiful outdoor area and pool along with room for all family members to have their own space. It was perfect! I had mentioned to my Last Key agent, Shel, that we were celebrating my mom's birthday and he had her a key lime pie with a birthday candle on it when we arrived. She was thrilled. It’s the little details that matter. Nothing compares to the service and experience that we received on our Key West vacation through Last Key Realty. I cannot recommend them enough. We will be returning!

Holy smokes...where do I begin? What a gorgeous house! From the moment we walked in we were blown away. The pool is insane, the outdoor area spacious, the 2 kitchens more than enough! It???s in a great area, far enough away to feel private and close enough to walk or bike anywhere. We have stayed at several Last Key homes in the last couple years and while all of them were awesome in their own ways, this one takes the key lime pie! ;)

Very impressed with Last Key Realty for our rental in Key West. The two homes we rented were beautiful, extremely clean and had a kitchens stocked with everything we needed for our large dinners at home. Last Key’s Conceirge went above and beyond to get us a last minute golf cart, reservations for dinner, scheduled delivery for breakfast and delivery of lunches packed and ready for our day out on the boat. Shel who had the homes ready before we arrived, checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed and couldn’t be nicer! We absolutely will only rent from Last Key for all future trips to Key West. Thank you Last Key for making our trip amazing!

We rented the home for 9 nights and it was in excellent condition and surpassed our expectations. It is very spacious with much outdoors space, in door living space, and larger bedrooms so your group will not feel on top of each other. The extra space provided by the outdoor kitchen and outdoor living room really are enjoyable and useful. The kitchen is very well stocked for making lunches and dinners. The location is excellent for anything you would like to do in Key West. Rounding out the great experience is the management company. They are extremely organized and responsive and have a team willing to help you with anything that you need at the property and to plan any excursions or reservations - such an extra and helpful service. All in all an excellent experience.

My family and I have been renting homes through Last Key Realty for almost five years. We always know when we book through LKR that we will be well cared for, with each home being clean, properly maintained, and well stocked. We had the privilege of staying in the Royal Compound on our past visit. The children loved swimming in the large, warm pool and the adults enjoyed R&R under the open, covered porch. I highly recommend both Last Key Realty and the Royal Compound. Until next time, Key West!

We try to make it to Key West at least once every year. Five years ago we found Last Key and Shel! We are so glad we did! They are hands down the best! Shel is the greatest and super accommodating and always there if there is anything needed! To speak to The Royal Compound .. wow. Just wow. This immaculate property is beyond impressive. It is beautifully landscaped and secluded all while being a short walk from Duval life! (Even though we always get scooters and a cart lol!) We travel with a fairly large group, bringing together four households under one roof (or in this case one property). The Compound handled it with ease! No one was cramped or running over each other, we even had room to spare! As always, everything was perfect! We can not recommend The Compound and especially Last Key (and Shel!) enough!

The home at 101 Admirals Lane is the most perfect guest experience I've ever had. 2 fully equip kitchens make you want to run to Faustos' and cook dinner instead of dine out. The pool and lounge area are top knotch and the two guest cottages are great for multiple family privacy. If you need a crib, entertainment, someone to go grocery shopping for you, bikes delivered to the house, anything...Last Key will get it arranged. I was so surprised. The master guest cottage had a private lanai off the side and a vanity/closet setup that's anyone's dream. In house amenities include a Keurig, Kitchen Aid stand mixer, all the pots, pans, cutlery, bottle openers, spices, and small appliances you could think of, paper, plastic, and glass plates for any occasion, a table with variable placemat choices, 5 bedrooms, 3 indoor seating areas (one in room), 4 bathrooms (each guest cottage and floor has their own), complete seclusion from the road, a portable speaker for the outdoor kitchen/pool area, a Weber grill, an industrial sized ice maker, a 6ft pool with water feature around the edge, parking for 4 cars, and more than I can list. We had an engagment, honeymoon, and wedding to celebrate; and this place was perfect for these occasions. When the weather looked dicey, we realized the ambience of the location made for a great plan B with the large covered patio. Shel was a great host, took care of anything we needed, and made our stay more delightful. Not only will we return to this company for visits, we will be calling this company when we decide to move to Key West.

Exceptional property in the exclusive Truman Annex area. Location was fantastic. Close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood. Last Key Realty (Shel) was excellent to work with. He gave us great recommendations. Concierge service was also wonderful. Property is in brand new condition and well appointed. Perfect for a family of 3 or 4. We would definitely come again.

We have been coming down to Key West for spring break many of years with the whole family. We always stayed at Sunset Key. We decide to change it up. We are so glad we did, this property was AMAZING!!!! It had everything we were looking for!!! Everyone had there own space with the guest suits, great outdoor living and full kitchen area, beautifully pool and backyard. We could not ask for a better location close that you can walk/bike into town but far enough to have our privacy. The house has everything you want for tropical vacation. Shel Segel from Last Key Realty was a wonderful host making sure we felt right at home. Thank you again for making family memories for us!!! See you next year.

We rented Plantation Tropicale in early December, 2018 for a gathering of friends and family. The privately situated suites ensured a pleasant time for all. The luxuriously decorated pool area with covered patio allowed us to enjoy the outdoors at any time of day. The kitchen was complete, every device and tool we needed was there. The neighborhood was quiet yet within in easy walking distance to everything we wanted to do. Shel was as gracious as ever, meeting us on arrival and immediately attending to a door lock which wouldn't work.

Shel Segel and Last Key Realty really hit our stay at Plantation Tropicale out of the park. We stayed from 1/05/19 through 1/12/19 and loved every minute of it. A few highlights: We loved the outdoor covered area and spent many hours talking and hanging out. We watching the NFL Playoffs at he outdoor bar and the kids LOVED the very large and inviting pool. We had issues with the pool heater and Shel and team went above and beyond to make it right for us, which made a very cold pool a non issue. Thanks again to Shel and enjoy this wonderful rental as our family did!

Our son was recently married in Key West, and we wanted a special meeting place for the many out of town relatives & guests. Plantation Tropical was the perfect choice. First of all the facility set up perfectly for a wide variety of functions, from communing around the large outdoor kitchen, lounging in the grotto-style pool, to late night chats in the awesome gazebo area. The home was versatile, comfortable, and picturesque. The photographer took full advantage the lush landscaping for exquisite pre-wedding photos, and the wedding party used varies areas of house to prepare for the event. But, it wouldn't have been the same without the terrific work of Shel Segel and the fine folks at Last Key Realty. Shel was the quintessential host, and helped us with details, provisions and recommendations, and the Last Key Concierge was there to help arrange any last minute excursions. We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for casual luxury, and a great open floor plan. Thanks again to Shel & Last Key... awesome job helping create a lasting memory.

We go to Key West every year for vacation and try to utilize Last Key Realty for the house we choose to stay at. This year we were lucky enough to not only locate an AMAZING property but we had the pleasure of having Shel Segel as our manager and host!! Without a doubt this property has anything and everything you could possibly want or need at your fingertips! Upon arrival, Shel was waiting for us to give the grand tour and provide us with any and all info that we might need while in Key West. Shel checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and assured us he was always a phone call or text away if we needed ANYTHING! If you are looking for the perfect house to relax, entertain, cook or just have a cocktail by the pool this is the place and your in the best hands possible with Shel!! ENJOY!

Plantation Tropical was indeed a tropical paradise. The house certainly lived up to our expectations. For our Family Vacation we chose this home as our gathering place for our 26 family members. The outdoor kitchen and eating bar were superb in filling our outdoor dining needs. The pool and covered area were exceptional, and easily accommodated our family. This house was recommended by Alex at Last Key Realty for our family in the Truman Annex within easy walking distance of our 3 other Annex rental units. Shel was a gem in helping us get settled and able to answer any questions about Key West. For our restaurant dining we chose one of Shel's favorite restaurants -El Siboney, which was able to handle our family size easily, good food, and a wonderful evening. The vacation will have lasting memories for all of us. Thanks, Shel

We shared a great week with friends and family. The house is so beautiful and has so many amenities, we were torn between staying put and venturing out into Key West. The pool and outside living room are where we spent most of our time. The Truman White House is literally across the street. We walked to Mallory Square, Duval St and the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor. The Truman Annex is very quiet. Thanks Shel for a memorable week.!!!!

The property is probably the largest and best in Truman Annex, but it is small thing compared to the service that we received from both Shel and Alex. Both went out of their way to make us, a lot of us!, feel at home, were very responsive and solved problems in a matter of minutes. We would strongly recommend them to anyone! Thank you.

We make an annual trip to key west every year. this is our first time staying at plantation tropicale. the house was unbelievable especially the out door space. As has been the case for all of our stays, Shel was terrific. He took care of everything for us from receiving our golf clubs that we shipped, to stocking the house with our favorite food and beverages before we arrived to recommending the best restaurants just to name a few things. He clearly is a gem and we truly look forward to seeing him every year. He is the reason the trip always is a joy.......thanks again shel, see you next year.

When my fiancé and I decided to have our wedding and reception in Key West for our small wedding we looked at numerous venues in the area. After many hours of research we decided on booking the Plantation Tropicale @ The Annex for the lodging of immediate family as well as to hold our wedding reception. We stayed for 6 nights and couldn't have been happier with not only the expansive house but the pool area and two guest cottages. The listing description was 100% accurate and the house as well as pool area and yard was clean and well-maintained. Shel Segel was our Concierge and he couldn't have been more helpful. His customer service was outstanding as he touched base with us daily to ensure not only our needs but the needs of our family and guests were met during our stay. The house is conveniently located and only a very short walk to Front and Duval Streets and all that Key West has to offer. I would highly recommend booking this outstanding property!
