“A romantic house on the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013 via mobile

This historic building (home of the philosipher Dewey) is your temporary home.. You have your superb buffet breakfast (lots of fruit and berries, too) on the veranda, you can relax on the veranda or in the living room during the day, or go the 10 meter to the beach in front. But remember to come back for the complimentary tea with cake and fruit in the afternoon. There is free parking and free WiFi. The hotel is part of the Southermost Hotel (right next door), and you can use all their facilities as pools etc. To rate this place lower than 5 stars is not an option :)

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

Spent five wonderful days at La Mer and Dewey House. Breakfast on the patio, relaxing on the beach. Walking to dinner each night. Staff was friendly and always helpful. Afternoon tea was a nice touch. B&B on the beach inside a larger resort with pools and very nice cafe bar right on beach.

“Peaceful, Relaxing Get-away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the La Mer Hotel. The inn is located on the quiet end of Duval Street and we enjoyed five relaxing days on the property and walking through the historic area of Key West. Sam and her staff went out of their way to answer questions, suggest activities, and attend to the little details that make us want to stay here again. The rooms are large, well-furnished and quiet. The breakfast was excellent and is served on an open-air porch at the Dewey House facing the beach - what a great way to start the morning! If you're looking for a warm-weather escape where you can stay busy with activities or just do nothing and relax, look no further than the La Mer Hotel and Dewey House.

Room Tip: Our room faced the pool at the Southernmost Hotel and were were not bothered by any noise - the room...

“Great Activities”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

The activities at Southernmost were wonderful. There were beach and pool activities nearly every day. The yoga was super and so was the water aerobics class. The staff at La Mer/Dewey House are like family. It allowed us to relax and not worry about a thing but deciding where to eat each evening.

“Fabulous property on the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

Spent Super Bowl weekend at La Mer at Southernmost. What a beautiful, cozy, warm and quiet B&B! They have 2 additional properties adjacent to the B&Bs and share amenities. B&B guests enjoy a fabulous breakfast each morning on the deck overlooking the ocean. The only negative is I wished the coffee was available before 8:30am (the 24 hr coffee available at the pool was horrible). We never made it to the afternoon tea. The resort concierge, Bryan, offered great suggestions for activities and restaurants. The staff was extremely attentive. Poolside service was GREAT and dinner at Southernmost Beach Cafe was terrific. Fabulous resort with a great staff. We will go back.
