We stayed at The Mermaid & The Alligator this past December & we LOVED it! The place is adorable, it has one of the nicest kitchens & outside area that we've seen at any B&B. Our room, the Royal Poinciana was WONDERFUL, we loved the look of it & the deck was an added bonus. The bed was very comfortable... more

This guesthouse is probably the best we have ever stayed in. Fantastic location, fantastic decor, fantastic room choice, fantastic owners and lovely doggie ... just totally fantastic! We stayed in the house for four nights to kick off our honeymoon and by-passing the big hotels to stay here was the best decision we made. The house was full when we... more

I was really looking forward to some well-deserved R&R to celebrate our wedding anniversary in KW. Mermaid and Alligator was just the ticket! Being Floridians, we had been to KW many times. This was our 3rd time in a B&B - and by far - my favorite B&B to date! The design is gorgeous. It feels like a well appointed... more

We have stayed in B&B's all over the south and east and England and Germany. This one is special. We were traveling with another couple and booked the Key Lime and Papaya rooms. 'The rooms were comfortable - but the extended living area ( the garden and sitting areas) were exquisite and made for a great retreat from the activities... more

We recently stayed at the Mermaid and the Alligator for our honeymoon. The room was beautiful and Jeri was always there for us if we had any questions. The gardens outside were beautiful. The pool was nice, but very small and was a good fit if you were the only couple in the pool. Each day we were provided a... more

We have stayed at bed and breakfasts before, but this is the best. It feels as if you are in the middle of a tropical oasis. The grounds are beautiful with all the lush foliage and beautiful birds. We did not want for anything. Even though it was booked, it seemed as if we were the only people there as... more

The Mermaid and the Aligator is the best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed. We have visited several, and this one is, in our opinion the best. The hospitality is out of this world, the grounds are just gorgous and the attention to detail is superb. We felt as though we were staying with our personal friends. We will... more

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. Our... more

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
