Amazing Bed and Breakfast! We stayed in the Papaya Room and it was very cozy and beautifully decorated. The grounds are so beautiful with plenty of seating for a delicious breakfast prepared by the staff or to just relax by the pool. Great location close to Duval street.

The Mermaid and the Alligator is an awesome place to stay! We spent almost two weeks here and it felt just like home! It’s within walking distance to many restaurants, shopping, and fun excursions! The staff is amazing and the grounds are spectacular! We highly recommend visiting Key West and staying at this lovely B&B! We will be back!

We spent 5 nights in Key West. The hotel is in a great location and the grounds are beautiful. The open kitchen provides snacks and soft drinks, and the included breakfast was a treat. Service was wonderful. Our room and bathroom was so tiny that my husband and I could could barely manage if we were both inside. The porch and gardens were definitely a highlight.

This place is fantastic! It is a small, quiet oasis with lush gardens around the little pool and patio eating area. It is an easy walk to the shops and restaurants on Duvall Street, and the staff was super friendly! They served a good breakfast every morning. They provide towels and totes and water for the beach. Bikes were available for rent on the property. Perfect!!

Older charming home that is showing its age as well as lack of modern updates.
