About this property

Artist Garden by AvantStay | Great Location w/ Balcony, Shared Pool & BBQ!

*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.*

This spacious home with a large outside deck is tucked away on a quiet lane in the Truman Annex, yet only a short walk to all attractions. Artist Garden makes an ideal vacation rental for those who like to enjoy a Duval crawl and a quiet peaceful vacation at the same time.

A bright and breezy 2 bedroom 2.5 bath private Key West house rental is located in the prestigious Admiral's Lane neighborhood of the Truman Annex. This property is within walking distance of all Old Town Key West has to offer along with the beautiful beach at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park and the nightly festivities in Mallory Square.

Artist Garden is a delightful home with an open floor plan on the main level. A roomy kitchen with granite countertops opens into the dining and living areas. Bright colors and unique artwork give this home a wonderful flair. Off the living and dining area, two sets of French doors reveal a large private deck with plenty of space to unwind and enjoy the fabulous Key West breezes. The patio is fenced and a perfect place to relax with friends and family, sip a margarita, enjoy a casual dinner and prepare for the evening entertainment.

Located on the second floor you will find two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and a full bath en-suite. The guest room is located down the hall and has twin beds and access to the second bath just outside the room.
​​​​​​​
A shared swimming pool just steps away, with sparkling waters and chairs to lounge while soaking up the sunshine.

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!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team. Whether it’s fridge stocking or in-home massages, AvantStay offers a variety of upgrades & experiences to enhance your stay.

Great location

We had a wonderful time at the home in Truman Annex. You can’t beat the location! Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to make a couple dinners. Living room was comfortable. Short walk or bike ride to Zachary park, Truman park and Mallory Square. Sat by the little pool for a couple hours one day. Our only complaint is the grill grates were too rusty to use. They should be replaced. And the deck and furniture could be upgraded. Highly recommend!

Lovely Art Filled Home, Great location

We spent 2 weeks in this lovely, art filled home surrounded by lovely landscaping which created a nice privacy fence. Home was spotless & stocked with all the basics for cleaning and cooking (although I never really used the kitchen!) There is a dedicated parking space. The common pool is just steps away and was a friendly gathering spot in the afternoon. Home’s furniture is stylish & comfortable, beds are big & comfy & bathrooms were well appointed. Truman Little White House is around the corner. Downtown is a short walk, nice restaurants are close by and the Truman Annex Thursday Farmer’s Market & other special events are a 5 minute walk. We had our feet, a bicycle & a golf cart and could access anything in Key West. Also Key West Ubers are quick, not expensive & have very nice drivers. The management team, Avantstay, was wonderful, answered any question very quickly & even came to the house when we had a TV problem. Very nice group! We loved the little chicken family that visited every day & got used to the rooster! Very Key West. Picky negatives - patio furniture is not great but the space is wonderful. Uber drivers, grocery delivery folks had trouble finding the address. No fault of the owner of course & I reported it to Google Maps.

The Best

I’ve rented many times in Key West but Artist Garden is the best so far. Love the art in the unit and the furniture and furnishings are very comfortable. Great location to everything. You feel secluded and safe and so relaxed in this home away from home. We loved our week here.

A New Favorite!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Artist Garden is an oasis. Tucked away from the "madding crowd", it provides a quiet retreat from all of the wonderful-ness that is Key West, and it is an easy walk to many of Key West's attractions and restaurants. The shared pool is small but certainly large enough to cool off in. The kitchen is a good size for Truman Annex (albeit small) and the outdoor grill was a real bonus for the night we cooked in. There is no complaining in paradise, but it could use a few teaspoons and a few more coffee cups. It is exactly as it appears in the pictures. Would definitely rent this one again!

Nice...but...

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Artist's Garden was in a lovely location in Truman Annex. The outdoor area is beautiful and the downstairs is nicely furnished; however, the upstairs bedrooms could stand a makeover and the carpet going upstairs and on the second level was stained and dirty!

Perfect Key West Location

This property is located in Truman Annex which is gated. Relatively quiet considering its only 2 blocks from Duvall St. The home was clean and well kept. Master bed is a little lumpy. The location is perfect for walking and bike riding! The pool is very close by and clean. Overall this property is a very good value for Key West.

The location is good but the house needs attention. The stove, microwave,washing machine and dryer are limping along and should be replaced. The owner did replace the dishwasher but the mentioned appliances are old and need the same fate. I enjoyed the owner's paintings!

Relaxing oasis

We've stayed in Trumans Annex before but this house and location exceeded what we expected by 110%. The home was pristine and hidden back off the street so we felt removed from the party of Duval yet less than a couple blocks when we were ready. We rented bikes so exploring the complete [flat] island was our favorite. Renting from AtHomeInKeyWest was a breeze. They responded fast and efficiently to anything I asked. Will definately stay in Trumans at this home again! The owners artwork is amazing!
