“Fantastic for us! Will return!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013

We loved this place! Granted, we are folks who enjoy camping and nature. Eric is awesome and cooks a great, from scratch, breakfast. The views are fantastic. Key Deer, Iguanas and all sorts of awesome birds abound. It's the Keys so bugs and sea weed are what they are. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary Kayaks (bikes too but we never... More

“Peace and tranquility”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

We stayed here for two nights in April after a couple of nights in Key West. What a contrast between the two. The Barnacle offers peace and tranquility, and given that the other guests went out early on our first day (before breakfast time) it felt like we had the place to ourslelves. The place was very informal and several... More

“QUIRKY in capital letters!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2013

We stayed at the Barnacle in September 2012 and I believe this place is worth a review although six months on it is difficult to know exactly what to write, the mixed reviews about this place go some way to explaining how differently people will view this guest house. Having visited the US on many occasions we have rarely stayed... More

“Quirky but nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2013

We only spent one night at the Barnacle due to other reservations but we loved it. The Barnacle is an extremely quirky little Florida attraction but it is a great place to stay. The B & B is right on the ocean with it's own little beach area. Key deer wander around looking for handouts in the morning. The cottages... More

“Great Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2013

My husband and I stayed in the Ocean View Room. It was fantastic, it was very peaceful, and a great location to do some bike riding or kayaking. We had a great time grilling out with other guests, that we just met. The manager Eric is great and will help you with anything that you need. If you are looking... More

“A truly unique property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2013

My wife and I decided that it was time to visit the Keys. Although we wanted to visit Key West, we were not so sure that we would want to spend all of our time there. The more I read about the Big Pine Key area the more I realized that it would probably be the high point of our... More

“Nice way to get away from the bustle of the Keys”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2013

We stayed in the Blue Heron Cottage for a long weekend in January 2013. Wonderful, funky architecture with a 70's feel. The B & B is down a little traveled road on Big Pine Key. Key deer and iguanas abound on the property. The manager, Eric, makes wonderful breakfasts and was very helpful with anything we needed. Several beautiful outdoor... More

“Disrepair and a general air of neglect”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2012

I stayed at the Barnacle Bed and Breakfast for a week. I would have left after one night but I was charged for the entire stay upon my arrival. Now I know why. One of the 16 bulbs surrounding the vanity mirror worked. Just one. The bathroom fan worked intermittantly. One of the two reading lights over the bed didn't... More

“AWFUL!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2012

Good Lord, $275 for this. The current manager by the name of Eric was on staff there when we went the week of December 19, 2012. Whoever created this building in the beginning did a fabulous job because the design and everything is creative, funky and wonderful. But Eric, well.... he appears to be doing the minimal amount of work... More

We are sorry if your rest was disturbed on one night of your stay by a holiday get together of 5 people sitting by the ocean that was over between 11 - 12. If your stay was so awful why would you stay 6 nights if this disturbance occurred the second night. Why also would you call on the last... More

“Best B&B on Big Pine Key”

Best bed & breakfast in the Florida Keys. This lovely place is a great location for day trips to either Key Largo or Key West. Kayaks and bikes right there for guests to use. Wonderful breakfast with an ocean view. The Key deer and iguanas are fun to see too. Eric is a fun, friendly, and helpful host. The star... More

Welcome to the Barnacle! We are a bed and breakfast in Big Pine Key, FL which is about 30 miles from Key West. Our place is peaceful and very quaint. A perfect place to get away from the hustle of everday life, but still close enough to Key West to enjoy a day downtown.
