The Mermaid & The Alligator0

Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful property! The breakfasts were delicious, plus snacks and wine for happy hour were a wonderful surprise. The pool was surprisingly large and had jets. We stayed in the bamboo room which had a private patio which was fabulous to relax and drink coffee on. I would highly recommend to anyone!

The bike rentals were more expensive than other rents nearby so we ended up going elsewhere for less. Also the parking is double parked so you might end up with someone blocking you in, in which you would have to move their car. Wasn’t a huge deal because most of the time we biked or walked to wherever we needed to go!

The Mermaid and Alligator is a magical place. The home is warm but spacious and meticulously maintained. The staff is friendly and the breakfasts are superb. Everything is done with care, no detail is missed here. We stayed in one of the 3 rooms in the cottage and my parents were in the other. We shared a porch which was lovely. I love the cottage for the outdoor space. The home also has beautiful gardens--lush and tropical and well cared for. Loved that it was adult only--which contributed to a very chill vibe. This was our first stay--and we will be back!

Nothing.

This property is a beautiful cozy couples retreat. The pool area is nicely landscaped with all tropical plants and there is a nice outside sitting area for breakfast or relaxing. The rooms are clean and every employee we met was extremely friendly and hospitable. They had the best free breakfast of anywhere Ive ever stayed and the staff custom makes each meal and serves it to the guests. The price of the rooms I thought were inexpensive for the area and cheaper than other properties that aren’t as nice. I would definitely go back.

The location was just perfect, close to the duval street but still far enough to have peace and feel like on your own private key west island:) The grounds of the hotel were stunning, the greenery was tropical and made us feel relaxed. We had our own small cottage with porch and felt like there is nobody else just us although the hotel was fully booked. We loved the possibility to take drinks and snacks from the common kitchen.

The bathroom had a little bit of smell (I suppose some problem with canalization) and the staff serving breakfast could smile a little more.

We like everything there, except for what you’re getting ready to read below

For happy hour they advertise drinks and hors d’oeuvres from 4 to 5. There was no drinks or hors d’oeuvres. They had wine which we love, but they could have had a better brand of wine, other than Sutter home and the hors d’oeuvres were, Doritos corn chips, or a pack of planters peanuts. I believe they call that snacks not hors d’oeuvres. maybe replace those with a charcuterie board. And I think their bicycles should be complementary to their guest instead of costing $20 each to rent.

Loved the grounds, all the tropical plants, the pool and the patio area for breakfast! Really liked breakfast which was prepared to order, nice variety! Nice property, nice older home!

There was a loud intermittent rumbling in our room which made it difficult to sleep at night! mentioned it to the staff but they took no corrective action! By the third night I finally found a way to cut the volume on this noise so we were able to sleep! We probably had the smallest room on the property and for the price I don’t think it lived up to our expectations!

this is my first experience staying in a B&B. I loved that it was very centrally located so you could walk a lot of places, the staff was very nice, the breakfast provided was excellent. The bed was comfortable, our room had a really nice tub… The only thing I will say that was negative was how hot it got in the room. We had the tree top room, which is on the third floor. And it was the middle of summer in Florida. Lol. There is an AC unit up there, but they should maybe consider getting a second smaller one closer to the bed. Once it was nighttime, it wasn’t bad. And we didn’t spend much time in the room during the day, but when we did, it was a little bit hot. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again!

The room got a little warm during the day

Our first experience in a bed and breakfast and it was quite enjoyable! Breakfast was great and the chef and staff were so gracious! Breakfast was prepared perfectly and we so enjoyed the gardens! Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend!

The lack of television in the room was a little bit of a change for us but I wouldn’t change a thing!

The property was immaculately clean and looked like something from a magazine! The room was comfortable and well appointed and there were makeup removers available in the bathroom. the balcony was large and comfortable and the walk out doors were heavenly! The back porch/yard area were lush and shaded and perfect for our delicious breakfast!

I don’t like feather pillows as I’m allergic but that seems nitpicks to even mention as the rest of the property was superb!

I liked the healthy breakfast and the hot cooked items I enjoyed the spa pool and used it frequently I liked the pool towels and the happy hour wine and snacks. I liked renting the bikes right there and the half rate for the next day.

I wish you had a guest laundry available like hotels do. The ice machine takes to long to refill so it would be good to have some ice cube trays in the freezer. When the house keeper cleaned she took the robe but did not replace it with a new one. It would have been nice to have bedtime chocolate on the pillow. Our room had a lot of cobwebs and dust on the wallpaper around the ac unit ,on the fan, and above the door.
