This was our 2nd time to stay at The Mermaid and the Alligator. The first time was on our honeymoon 4 years ago. When we decided to make a trip back to Key West, all of our plans revolved around getting stay at this inn again. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The bathrooms are modern and very clean.

Just fantastic. Location is perfect, staff were friendly and accommodating, but also remained in the background until you needed them. Home-baked muffins for breakfast, wine on the terrace at sunset, fabulous garden and great decor. We stayed in two villas in the garden. The first (Key Lime) had a problem with noisy air-conditioning, so they moved us immediately the next... more

The Innkeepers were very helpful in recommending... more

There is a lovely back porch/garden area to eat and relax. They are always providing the guests with numerous goodies - cookies, wine, and a full service breakfast featuring... more

My husband and I knew we were due for a relaxing holiday, and we wanted to treat ourselves. This was more expensive than we had planned on, but MAN! Was it worth it...the hosts were lovely, there was always someone available to ask for advice on how to spend our time and what restaurants to try, but without hovering or... more

The Mermaid and the Alligator is a privately owned gust house / B&B. It has been fitted out, and maintained to the very highest of standards. It's location is a mainly residential area - close enough to walk to the major sights (most things accesable within 15 minutes walk) but far enough away to escape the crowds and excitement of... more
