The Mermaid & Alligator

My husband and I recently stayed at this charming and historical Queen Anne-style B&B. We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfasts served each morning in the beautifully appointed courtyard, with the calming sounds of the water fountain. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. The B&B's location is a big plus, with easy walking access to Key West's famous sites and museums, including the Hemingway Museum, Duval Street, and the waterfront. We found our room, the Audubon room, to be spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with tasteful art works and tropical plants. We appreciated the large, updated bathroom with the separate bathtub and shower, and the comfortable king-size bed. When we reserved our stay, we erroneously believed, based on the photos on Expedia's website, that the room had a private sitting area exclusively for our use. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and this area was open to all guests and could disrupt the quietness and calmness of the property. Despite of this, we truly enjoyed our stay overall and would definitely consider returning on our next visit to Key West.
