We stayed at the Mermaid and Alligator during Christmas of this year. So inviting, relaxing and feels like home. Geri and Rebecca are experts on the local area and the Innkeepers provide everything that you could need, several that you didn't even know you needed. A real home away from home. Plus, you get to interact with Havana and Caya! So I didn't miss my dogs at home. Breakfast was varied and tasty. Lemonade and Wine provided each afternoon and evening. Would love to come back soon!

I spent 5 days in Key West with my daughter and son-in-law over Christmas and we could not have been happier with this choice of Bed & Breakfast. My daughter and son-in-law had the Bamboo Room which was a larger accommodation with a comfortable seating area. It had a large provate covered porch just across the walkway from the breakfast area and pool. I was in the Papaya Room, which was smaller but perfect for the mother-in-law. The three of us congregated on the Bamboo Room's porch looking out on the gardens and pool. Both rooms were very comfortable and pleasantly decorated. They were clean and well-maintained, and I cannot say enough good things about the staff. There's a hot breakfast available every morning by the pool. In addition, there's coffee, tea, juice, muffins and fruit available from early in the morning. There's juice and snacks around 3 pm, and wine around 5pm. The staff is attentive and helpful with arrangements for activities, taxis and information. The property is located centrally in Key West, and is walking distance from most attractions and restaurants. I would reccommend this B&B to all my friends and would most definitely plan to stay here agin myself on a return trip.

We escaped Minnesota in December and got a most relaxing getaway at The Mermaid and the Alligator. Jeri was always around when we needed assistance; renting bikes, scheduling tours, restaurant recommendations, and serving the breakfast -- it was beautiful and most delicious. The house was lovingly restored and is absolutely beautiful inside and out. We stayed in the Poinciana room. It was beautifully decorated with a well appointed bath and lovely porch. The house was quite decked out in holiday decor; it sparkled. But I'd imagine it would be quite lovely even without it's holiday decor. The gardens are lush and lovely. The pool was petite and still a refreshing oasis. Thanks, Mermaid and Alligator; you made our stay great!

Loved our three night stay at The Mermaid & Alligator. Everything was exactly as described on the internet. We stayed in the Bamboo Room, which is actually a separate cottage nestled in the gardens. The room was very nice and all amenities were first class.
The breakfast each morning was delicious and very nicely presented. If we would ever decide to visit Key West again, we would stay here. They simply have thought of every little detail to make one feel comfortable, from beach towels, maps, umbrellas, tour guides. etc.
You know what you are doing and you do it right!!
