I almost don't want to write this, as I would like to keep it to myself!  This extra special house is truly one of a kind.  It's beautifully appointed with so much care given to the decor.  It's truly comfortable in every aspect.  There's so much space inside and out for two couples to enjoy and the height of the rooms makes it seem extra spacious.  So convenient having the downstairs utility with washer and dryer and the next door washroom is a bonus too.  The bedrooms and bathrooms are separated by the stairs so very private for two couples or families, the master bed is huge!  The bathrooms are very nice, up to date with good shower presssure, everywhere is spotlessly clean.  The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you could need, we didn't make full use of it as we weren't there to cook, we ate out at the many restaurants nearby.  This location is fantastic, in a safe gated community surrounded by beautiful properties and right next door to the Truman Little Whitehouse.  Duval Street is only a couple of blocks away, it's an easy walk to Mallory Square and the Historic Seaport.  There is a small private pool a short walk away, with shower and bathroom, where we were able to spend some relaxing time.  If we come back (we're from the UK) I would certainly stay here again.  Rosemary and Mark are extremely pleasant to deal with, their communication was fast, friendly and professional.  Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous home and for your help and recommendations.  Angela, Nigel, Liz and Martin.

For years, Island Queen never disappoints.  This is like no other rental in Key West.  Perfect location.  Outstanding historic home and amenities.  Wonderful owners to work with.  What more do you need?  Great 2 bedroom layout is perfect for couples and provides real privacy when desired.  She has been thoughtfully updated throughout with nothing left untouched.  Island Queen will make you feel right at home while offering everything Key West has to offer right at your doorstep.  The pictures tell the whole story.  Walk to everything!  Get your bikes and you're all set!  We come back year after year and Island Queen always exceeds our expectations!  Meticulously cared for by Rosemary and Mark, we know what to expect every time we visit.  We are never disappointed and neither will you be.  Reserve with confidence and get ready for a memorable vacation you'll want to repeat year after year.

We cannot say enough great things about the Island Queen! We have stayed here a couple times and are looking forward to our next stay.  From the moment we booked, our very first time, Rosemary was incredibly warm, responsive, helpful and extremely thoughtful.  And those attributes definitely show in the Island Queen property as well.  The home is beautiful, well appointed, in a perfectly serene and quiet setting - while still walking distance to almost everything that Key West has to offer.  If you have the chance, stay at the Island Queen.  It will be one of, if not THE, highlight of your stay in the Keys.

Our family could not have been happier with our decision to stay in this home and book with Rosemary.  The entire process was seamless and communication was prompt and detailed.  The home was beautifully appointed and newly renovated with excellent taste and attention to detail while still paying homage to the original character of the building.  We took walks everyday to the marina to get Cuban Coffee and would sit on benches by the water while we watched captain and crew prepare for the day.  The location was perfect to walk to many amenities, restaurants, shopping and Mallory Square. You could not ask for a better location.  There is outdoor space that we should have (and will in the future) taken better advantage of with the local fresh seafood either from the market or your own excursions.  We look forward to booking many more stays at the Island Queen with family and friends!

We have stayed at the Island Queen at least four times now, and it is our favourite 'getaway' place.  We travel with another couple and the townhome is set up perfectly for us, with two very private suites on each end of the upstairs.  Rosemary has done a wonderful job of decorating this beautiful home, and she has taken great care to provide all of the amenities her guests could possibly want or need. The garden area is very private and relaxing for a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine.  The location of Queen is second to none in Key West - walking distance to Mallory Square, the Foundry pool, the shopping on Duval, the wharf area, and more restaurants than you could ever frequent in a week's time.  We also rent bikes while we are there to ride to the various beaches Key West has to offer. You cannot go wrong with a stay at the Island Queen - we have already booked for next year!  Thanks, Rosemary!

 

This was our third stay at Island Queen and I swear each time it gets better and better!  The house is so welcoming and truly feels like a home away from home!  The location could not be better.  Walking distance to pretty much everything and close to the action but quiet and peaceful!  Check in was so easy, and the house is super clean and well maintained.  The owners are lovely and kind and always happy to help with anything you need, I HIGHLY recommend!

Beautiful place and kind and wonderful hosts, the place was nice and very well maintained and the hosts were warm and helpful.  We enjoyed our stay and very much would stay here on our next stay in Key West.

We truly enjoyed our stay ay 'Island Queen'.  The villa is centrally located in walking distance to everything. It is a perfect rental for two couples as the en suite bedrooms are separated upstairs.  Furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, if you decide to stay home instead of dining in any one of the many great restaurants Key West has to offer.  Our host, Rosemary was very warm and helpful during the booking process.  We cannot wait to return to another stay at Island Queen!

  

I cannot say enough positive things about the wonderful'Island Queen'.  The location in Truman Annex is the best in Key West.  It's quiet, yet close to everything you want to see and do.  The home itself is wonderful, it truly has everything you could possibly need.  The furnishings are top notch in every room and the bathrooms are awesome!  The kitchen has all of the equipment you need and the outside gas grill is great.  We could tell immediately the care, pride and attention to detail the owners take.  They are wonderful to deal with from reservation to checkout. I have been traveling to Key West for almost 30 years and this is the best place I have stayed.

This was our 10th trip to Key West, and our first trip staying in a condo, rather than a hotel.  This place is perfect for two couples. The lower level was a wonderful spot to spend time together in the mornings, or winding down in the evenings.  Then head upstairs to the two bedrooms that are separated from each other by the stairway for complete privacy.  Once in our room we never heard a peep from outside the room.  Even the bathrooms are separate from the bedrooms.  The bathrooms are very nicely equippd with great showers. The outside patio was a great place to enjoy morning coffee, and sometimes the occasional rooster.  The first level has really high ceilings, which means the 18 steps up to the bedrooms was sometimes a challlenge after a long day of enjoying the tastes of Key West.  The location is perfect.  For the price we spent for 7 days, you'll have a difficult time finding a hotel room as nice for one couple, let alone two.

This is a one of a kind rental. Beautiful home, spotless, perfect location, the most comfortable beds, etc. The owners were wonderful and easy to deal with but the icing on the cake is Connie! The woman that takes care of the place. We were there during the tropical storm/eta storm and Connie checked on us and went out of her way to make sure we were safe and had everything we needed in case of an emergency situation. Thank you Rosemary and Connie for a great place to stay and enjoy Key West

Yes, this end unit is "One of a Kind"! Many thanks to Rosemary & Mark. Their spacious, quiet & immaculate home has been our great winter escape. This was our third stay at this remarkable townhouse in one of the best locations in Key West. Many amenities are provided, including a well-equipped kitchen with all needed appliances & utensils. Large washer & dryer are in laundry room. Owners have also provided beach chairs, beach towels, & bar-b-que grill with outside seating in their private courtyard. We will definitely book this property again for our next visit to Key West.Bill & Margaret Al & Ronnie

I believe this was our 5th or 6th year we've stayed at the Island Queen and we are never disappointed. Thanks to Rosemary and Mark's meticulous care of their home, there are never any surprises. This property has always been immaculatey kept, continuously updated and offers such a unique opportunity to experience the island lifestyle. Location cannot be beat as everything Key West is just a quick walk away. Rosemary's property manager Connie was so great and very easy to work with. You can trust the owners to be as professional as they come. All the details are fine tuned and always taken care of and our security deposit was refunded before we even made it home. You just can't ask for more from a vacation rental property and its owners. We will always look forward to returning to this great property! Thank's once again for a wonderful week at your Key West home!!

This upscale property with it's expansive courtyard and well maintained landscaping is located in the beautiful gated community of Truman Annex. Having walked by it many times, it was my husband's and my dream to stay here, and we can't say enough about how special it was when we finally did! The owners love for and extreme pride in their home is evident everywhere and if you have high expectations and standards, this is the perfect place for you. Owners' house rules are explicit and easy to follow. This property is well suited for two adult couples and the pictures on this website represent exactly what you will find - beautifully appointed, very clean, and comfortable surroundings. Hotel rooms just don't compare to what you will find here. A car is not needed because within walking distance of this property are many restaurants, bars, historical sites, and sunset viewing locations including the very popular Mallory Square. If bike riding, fishing, water sports, or day and sunset cruises are on your itinerary, you will find many options within walking distance as well. While Fort Zachery Taylor Park is a short distance away and has a lot to offer, it can be a bit of a walk to the beach area. It was a pleasure working with Rosemary, and staying here again is on our bucket list!

We had driven through the Keys from Ft Lauderdale and arrived just at dusk. The care taken to make their home welcoming to us upon arrival was noticeable from the start, with the lights warmly lit as we opened the gorgeous French door. This home is so tastefully done and in an exquisite neighborhood, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Everything worth seeing is within walking distance. Thank you for lending us your beautiful home for the week. We plan to return often.

We're just home from our second visit to The Island Queen and it definitely won't be our last. For both location and accommodations you won't find a better place to stay in Key West. It's beautiful. In fact, we had our wedding ceremony in the garden here during our most recent visit! Rosemary is so great to work with and takes such great care of this home. No detail is overlooked. It's within easy walking distance of Duval Street, Mallory Square and Key West Bight where the Conch Republic is located. We spent each afternoon by the pool enjoying the amazing April weather before heading to Duval for dinner and music each evening. You will be so glad you decided to stay here!

This is our second time spending a week at Island Queen, and it was as wonderful this time as the last. The town home is beautifully decorated, and the layout with two separate and private bed/bath suites is perfect for two couples. The owners take great care to make sure your stay is delightful--upscale furnishings, premium linens, all the necessary kitchen utensils, beautiful bathrooms, outdoor grill and lovely private garden area. The location can't be beat--we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go-- from Duval for dinner and music in the evenings, to Mallory Square for sunsets, to Conch Republic and the harbor area for activities, and of course to the nearby pool which we visited daily. Connie, the property manager, met us upon check-in and took great care of us--she was awesome! If you are planning a trip to Key West, I highly recommend the Island Queen. As I said, we've been twice now and have every intention of going back again--you can't go wrong staying here!
