About this property

Conch House in Key West

Quintessential Grand Key West Estate! The James J. Curtis House c. 1874 was acquired by the Navy in 1903 and the home became The Marine Officers Quarters known as M2.
The Curtis house is the ONLY home in the Truman Annex that exists in its original location. This masterpiece is representative of a late nineteenth century vernacular know as a ''Conch House'', free of gingerbread, simple in its design, shingle roofing, weathered siding with louvered shutters. As it exists today it is one of the finest examples of ''Conch House'' Architecture in Key West.
This lovely four bedroom three and half bath beauty has gorgeous hardwood floors, tall ceilings, incredible millwork and many floor to ceiling French doors, original transoms and tons of natural light.
Entering the front hall beneath the original red glass address sketch above the front door, you are welcomed by the formal dining room and fireplace as well as one of the several living rooms featured throughout this charming home.
As you make your way down the center hall, you are greeted by the spacious eat in kitchen, which also includes a lovely seating area.
Adjacent to the kitchen, relax in the sumptuous media room which opens out to the covered deck and outdoor dining room.
The main living room enjoys more access to the lower wrap around decks and rocking chairs.
The breathtaking two story stairway with gorgeous balustrades and an original newel post, leads you to the second floor.
The primary suite features two beautiful bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a soaking tub, built in closets, a lovely little reading nook and access to the inviting wrap around covered decks. There are two more bedrooms featuring twin beds that can be converted into a king. Both of these bedrooms have access to the wrap around decks complete with a sunning area, white rocking chairs and a quiet covered lounge.
The refreshing pool and patio provide more outdoor enjoyment and privacy during your summer stay and heated during our mild winter season.
The adorable guesthouse is complete with a queen bed, sleeper sofa and private bath and entrance.
There are two off street parking spaces. This one of kind opportunity recently joined our program and we look forward to greeting you soon.

Excellent location

The house was spacious and comfortable and the location couldn’t be any better for walking to local sights and attractions. We did wish that there were more lounge chairs around the pool.

Wonderful Week

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: We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying in the historic Conch House. Compass Realty is very easy to work with, both during the rental process & during the stay. Our 3 generations were all comfortable in this home. Plenty of room to get together and for quiet time. The house is beautifully decorated & suppled with all you need for a stay. And the location! Close to attractions & restaurants.....great to walk around. We would love to stay here again!

Amazing historic property

Home is amazing. The home is a beautiful historic piece of history that’s exactly as pictured in the photos. 3 bedrooms in the main house, 1 with a king and two bedrooms with 2x twin beds each. There’s a pool house with king bed as well. The property is meticulously maintained and exactly as described. Pool was great and our kids loved it. Hosted our extended family for a week and we’d definitely stay again. Only thing to note is the home is close to a bar/club that is open until about 2am most nights and you could hear the bass most of the night. Didn’t keep us from sleeping but if you or your family members are light sleepers it’s worth thinking about.

LOVED this home! PERFECT location.

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: I can't say enough about this gorgeous home. It was spacious, modern, extremely clean, tastefully deorated with the most comfortable furniture ever. The location can't be beat, hands down. It's safe behind gates at dusk, yet steps from Duval and Mallary Square. The bedrooms were so pretty and all of them opened up to the upstairs veranda. The outside studio was very convenient for a small family as well. People stopped to take pictures of this historic house quite frequently. If you are looking at booking this home, just do it. You won't be disappointed. Management was very accommodating as well. We hope to return back soon!

Great Place

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: The house was huge and in a great location; at the end of Truman Annex but a very short walk to Mallory Square and Duval St. Comfortable beds and couches. Fully functional kitchen full of plates, pans, cups etc. Perfect sized pool. Parking for any size car and golf cart in back. Guest house that can sleep 2-3 people and provide extra privacy/separation while still being close to everyone else. Overall a great place for a larger group in a very nice part of town.
