620 Thomas Street #283, Key West - Transient Licensed Shipyard Condominium

620 Thomas Street #283 is a second floor two bedroom Shipyard Condominium located about fifty feet from the community pool, one block from the new Truman Waterfront Park, and three blocks to Duval Street. It has a valuable special Truman Annex Transient Rental License. What more could you want?

Truman Annex Community is located three blocks from world famous Duval Street in Key West. The Shipyard Condos have been weekly rentals for perhaps hundred of thousands over the past two decades. Although the units were built around the same time, each is a bit different in current condition. Some places have been updated with new kitchens, baths, and decor. Some are located on Sourthard Street which is the access in to Fort Zachary Taylor park and others are tucked away in this, the largest of  the six Truman Annex communities.

This 677 square foot unit is offered furnished as shown. You can start making money the day after you close. The special transient license allows 25 weekly rentals and multiple monthly vacation rentals of your choice throughout the year. Enjoy the unit yourself on the weeks you are not renting. The unit has an owner's closet in the kitchen to stash your favorite adult beverages and bathing suits. The pool is located just steps away down the path behind the unit. The assigned owner's parking is located directly across from the unit's front door. Both you and your paying guests will appreciate the convenience of being close to the pool but not right upon it. And you will immensely appreciate not having to walk through the complex carrying groceries or luggage - whether it is 80 degrees outside o raining.

A big cruise ship was pulling into port as I took photos of the new Truman Annex Waterfront Park which is also the home of the new Truman Annex Amphitheater.  Workers are still moving earth and doing whatever it is that has taken so long to get done. But it looks like they are almost done.  The small roadway between the Shipyard Condos and the park leads to Ft Zachary Taylor State Park and Beach. Guests in the condo will love being able to walk to the beach in about five to seven minutes.

606 Truman Avenue No 5, Key West - Transient Licesensed Unit

Preferred Properties Key West (that's where I work but this is not my listing) is the listing brokerage for 606 Truman Avenue No. 5), a sharp 2/2 Windward Park town home which is offered at  just $924,500.  The home offers 1260 sq ft of living space divided between the two floors with two master suites.

Two magnificent Royal Poinciana Trees frame the entrance into the Windward Park Townhome compound. In two or three weeks these trees will blossom and this private parking area will be fully ablaze with millions of tiny red flowers. When you pass through the electronically gated entry the first thing you will probably notice is the very large and usually sunny pool around which most of the thirteen homes are located. Unit No. 5 is tucked away to the left.

The listing Realtor describes this property this way:

"Two bedroom/two bath transient rental property in Windward Park. Immaculately maintained by very particular owners; lots of upgrades and recent attention to every detail of the property. A private island oasis of only 13 townhomes in a compound only a short walk from Duval Street and yet a great distance from the hustle and bustle. Large, heated community pool, X flood zone and security gate entrance along with an assigned, deeded parking spot are some of the important features of this HOA. Excellent rental record making this property a wonderful investment or personal vacation home."

The main living area with the second floor "catwalk" can bee seen in a couple of other units at Windward Park but not all. The catwalk certainly adds dramatic flair to the living space where the ceiling soars two stories.  Otherwise, the main floor is laid out traditionally with the living room and dining area at front followed. One of two master suites is located at the rear. There is a main floor bathroom with access off either the living area or from the bedroom. French doors open from the bedroom to a private deck where an owner or guest could get an all over Key West tan. The washer and dryer are located here which means the noise and humidity will be outside not inside.

If you have looked at other town homes, condos, or even moderately price old houses in Key West before you have probably found that many bedrooms are rather small and often dark. Not so here. The second floor master bedroom is extra large.  If you prefer sleeping in a king size bed, you will have room to spare in this big boy bedroom that has windows that face overlook the gardens of St. Mary's of the Sea Basilica. This bedroom also has an extra large closet with owners' lockout. The en-suite bath is also extra large. Compare the size of both bedrooms to similarly priced units at Truman Annex which can only be rented for 25 weeks each year on a transient basis. Put yourself in the position of a renter and ask where would I rather sleep? CLICK HERE to view more photos I took of this home.

I am a buyers agent and a full time Realtor at Preferred Properties Key West. I took photos of this unit late yesterday afternoon where I was sandwhiched in between other agents showing the place to prospective buyers. The last transient licensed unit went under contract in a matter of days after it was listed. I think this one will to. This place is clean as a whistle. There is no deferred maintenance. It's got a valuable full City of Key West Transient License which allows for 52 weekly rentals. The unit is one block from Duval and close to all that Old Town has to offer. Need I say more!
