Great location good layout but outdated and for the price paid should be more up to date. The bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows were subpar but the interaction with the management was amazing

The cottage is exactly as described. Super cute and practical. Brian, the property manager, was excellent. Above and beyond service. Sadly, you will be living next door to a very unwell man named Todd. He’s the only downfall to the property.

Absolutely cannot beat the location ... on the less busy end of Duval only a few blocks from the Southernmost Point. The cottage was just the right size for 2 people, was clean and well appointed. Walking distance to so many restaurants and lots of people watching from the front porch. A bonus was we got to meet several of the neighbors (Paul/Emily/Todd/David/Less) around us and they were all great - happy hour to celebrate Paul's birthday month was one of our best nights). Todd was super helpful and answered any question we had about the house and neighborhood. Communication with Whitney at Best of Key West Rentals was always prompt and helpful. Highly recommend.
Overall great. Loved location. Friendly locals enhanced experience.
Only complaint was with mid stay clean that was required.
Suggestions for mid clean-
Should be different in some ways than final clean - - - -
I’d set time on coffee pot so could
set up night before and have coffee
ready in am.
Was unplugged during clean. Making me have to reset time again.
Blender/toaster set out on counter to use without having to get down on floor to retrieve them from small cabinet between stove and wall.
Were put away. So had to get out again.
I’d brought a kitchen sponge from home to use for hand washing a few of the dishes. I’d put it in dishwasher flatware holder to cleanse with the
dishes like I do at home. Dishwasher emptied and my sponge gone.
No reason to get rid of it mid clean.
Also think if a mid visit cleaning
is required a small safe should be provided for valuables- passport, jewelry, cash, credit cards etc.
Location was just what I wanted. The cottage itself was wonderful.
My issue was the location of the pool I had been so looking forward to. It is right outside and in the walking pathway of the other cottages. All cottages are located almost on top of each other.
The location was perfect. The cottage was clean, well maintained and very comfortable. when we had a small thing that needed seeing to, the manager responded the same day.

Our stay at Pineapple Cottage has always been great and the rental people we have dealt with have been wonderful. We only have one complaint regarding this years stay. The couple that occupied the cottage next to us were heavy smokers. Even though they never smoked on the property, their car was parked out front and they sat in it with the doors open and smoked or stood on the sidewalk in front of their cottage and smoked constantly. It was unpleasant for us to sit on the porch (which we love to do) because there was constant cigar and cigarette smoke. They also enjoyed their alcohol to the point of falling down on the sidewalk and having a stranger assist them back on the porch. We enjoy this property so much, but this year was less pleasant because of them.

Exceeded our expectations. Very well presented.
Arrival and departure was extremely easy, we were given the door code and did a self check in and when we left, we basically left the cottage the way we found it and closed the door. A few days after we arrived the garburator started to leak, and also the BBQ grill ran out of propane. We contacted Truman properties and both were fixed immediately. When we walked into the cottage it was exactly as it appeared on the website which was very satisfying. The location of the property was basically in the middle between the harbor and the beaches, each being about a 10 minute walk in either direction and it was just one block from Duval so that we didn’t hear or see all the action, but were close enough to wander over. We did not rent a car for our month’s stay and really did not need one to get around. We rented bicycles for a few days which was nice to give our feet a rest and to see just a little bit more of the island. There were many great restaurants and happy hours to take in. The weather was amazing every day, and there were also many events happening each week while we were there. I would recommend this cottage to experience all that Key West has to offer.

Heart of Everything? You bet!
818-2 Whitehead really is in the heart of it all. 1/2 block from Hemingway House, 1 block from Blue Heaven, and 2 blocks from Green Parrot. We were there for two months and couldn't have been happier with it all. Particularly the staff at the rental office -- always helpful and friendly. Parking can be a bit tough some times, but with the location, and our bicycles, we would sometimes go a week or more with just walking wherever we wanted to go. A great place to relax on the front porch and let the world (or at lease the tourists) go by.
