Very Very Peaceful. Great staff and freindly guests.. It was our last night in Key West and what a perfect place to De-stress.

Our recent stay at The Mermaid and The Alligator was the best. We often travel to Key West and this was by far the best experience. We were there with two other couples. Dean and Paul are very gracious hosts. Rebecca and the staff were informative and helpful. Each room has its own bathroom which was a big plus for us. The beautifully restored Victorian home is centrally located so our group was able to walk everywhere. The backyard deck and pool were relaxing and a terrific gathering place to catch up with friends and meet new ones. I enjoyed the attention to detail and items of interest everywhere. The breakfast was worth getting up for in the morning. Wine and lemonade at 4p.m. was a great way to start the evening.The dogs, Savannah and Kai are beautiful and so well behaved. They were always willing to play if we wanted. We look forward to our next visit.

What a FABULOUS B and B!!
My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in mid January, and this property was perfection from start to finish! The home is warm and welcoming, filled with wonderful furniture and artwork from around the world. The entire staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The gardens are exquisite, and the wonderful plunge pool seemed to be mine alone, on 2 glorious starry evenings!
The breakfast area was very comfortable, food was excellent, the coffee was always there, and the wine in the early evening was a great treat!!!
We stayed in the very comfortable and beautiful Garden Room--LOVED the shower area!!
I really did NOT want to leave!!!
Mermaid has set the bar high for my future B and B stays anywhere!! Oh, if they could ALL be like this one!!! Thank you, Dean and Paul, for sharing this gorgeous property with us!!!

We stayed here on the Key West leg of our honeymoon. We really can't recommend The Mermaid and the Alligator highly enough. From the outset we were made to feel like this was a place to relax ad de-stress. We had five nights in the Garden room which opens onto a semi private part of the wonderful garden with its many nooks and crannies it's the perfect place to curl up and read or sip a glass of wine before going out fr dinner. Speaking of which, Geri and Rebecca recommended us some amazing spots to eat, their local knowledge is invaluable. Dean and Paul were consumate professionals, friendly and welcoming without eing intrusive and their breakfasts are amazing! Our last night was in the Caribbean Queen room upstairs which has an amazing balcony complete with hammock. A fantastic room! Excellent hot tub, garden, rooms, cleanliness, atmosphere, service, mid afternoon lemonade, baking, breakfast... Couldn't recommend this place highly enough for a romantic get away.
