Fellow travellers: All the rave reviews are accurate, so make sure to book your room well in advance. Our only regret for this stay was that we couldn't extend it because all the rooms were reserved. After speaking to several guests, it's advisable to reserve six months in advance particularly if you have a specifc room in mind. This Victorian... More

The friendliness of all staff members and their attention to detail made this an exceptional stay. The concierge services provided far exceeded expectations. Geri, Rebecca, and Dean were great at making dinner recommendations/reservations, arranging for excursions, ordering delivery of bicycles, etc. This B&B is like an oasis. Even though a busy street is right outside the grounds, one would never... More

The Mermaid and the Aligator was the best part of a spectacular week-long Key West vacation. The location is perfect - just far enough from some the hustle and bustle to feel like an oasis. The owner and staff are wonderful - kind and helpful and willing to do whatever they can to make the visit effortless. The gardens are... More

The gardens are exquisite, and the wonderful... More

We stayed here on the Key West leg of our honeymoon. We really can't recommend The Mermaid and the Alligator highly enough. From the outset we were made to feel like this was a place to relax ad de-stress. We had five nights in the Garden room which opens onto a semi private part of the wonderful garden with its... More

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful long weekend for our anniversary. It was a surprise for him, and the staff gave me several options to make it even more romantic. We arrived before check in, and were able to leave our luggage while walking around Key West. I go to Key West often (family in the keys), and the... More
