We loved the location(easy access to everything), and our own porch for privacy. What was disappointing was the constant smell of smoke. This was even surrounding the breakfast buffet because the condo located by the buffet had a smoker who would sit on his porch and smoke while we ate breakfast. No smoking in the rooms so smokers are everywhere... More

Perfectly located a block off Duval Street. Peaceful and quiet, but very convenient to everything. The price is too much for the room itself, which was small, smelled strange (which you stop noticing within a few minutes), needed a paint job and had a below-average bathroom. It is clean though, with a comfortable bed. The breakfast is very simple, but... More

Stayed in room 5 and loved it because it has it's own porch and is in a secluded area of the property. This is a great place for an afternoon escape from the key west craziness. It's around the corner from the local grocery store and a short walk to the middle of the action. Mini fridge in room was... More

Great location and nice pool area but room was tired and bathroom was simply unacceptable at this price - more cheap motel than luxury inn. Room was furnished with an assortment of furniture (more thrift store than anything better!) and had a musty smell - hence the humidifier unit in the room! Bathroom was quaint but the shower cubicle simply... More

My wife and I stayed at the Heron House as part of her birthday and diving getaway. The Bed & Breakfast style hotel was quiet and cozy. We enjoyed the fact that it was off the main drag of Duval Street, yet close enough to enjoy the short walk to the Duval Street area. Parking is a problem however, as... More

Recommend you go to their website to check out the photos and history ... happy to report the rooms are actually as nice as the photos show (which isn't... More

We stayed at Heron House for four nights during our visit to Key West and found it to be a very nice, charming place to stay. Our favorite feature of this hotel was the location, you are in a historic neighborhood, only a block off of the excitement of Duval St., what more could you ask for? This was our... More

This was our 2nd time in Key West and this location was just ideal. One block off of Duval Street and not too far from the harbor. The Heron House offers a serene, peaceful setting with relaxing music and an easy-going vibe. No kids are allowed, which adds to the peace and quiet. Our room was an ample size, although... More

My wife a I have stayed at the Heron House two years in a row, October 2011 & 2012. The location of this bed and breakfast to Duval Street which is the next block over, make it ideal for walking home after a long night out. The rooms are small but this is a bed and breakfast, and that is... More

This is our 5th year here; there are a variety of room sizes and locations, each with a different feel. Examples: one 2nd floor room overlooks Simonton street from a very large porch/deck where we loved to take morning coffee and reading. Ground floor by the food court (great breakfast set-up), worked well for me as I frequently am a... More
