P
This is a lovely high standard B&B within walking distance of the old town. The atmosphere was excellent and the help faultless. I guess if I was to look for a fault it would be trivial but a kettle in the room would be nice. The breakfasts were excellent.
Mary
Great location, lovely place, clean and comfortable room. Highly recommend!
Christopher Lee
Very nice property, good breakfast and late afternoon happy hour. Super clean, and they do have on-site parking. Duvall street is a short walk, so you are close, but not too close to all the late night activities. Our second stay there, and would certainly stay there again.
Pasquale
Very pleasant beautiful B&B. Breakfast was so enjoyable. Room was wonderful and the bed was super comfortable. My only issue was the hot tub jets didn’t work and the grounds could use maintaining. Location was also in a nice quiet area.
Graham
From the minute you arrive at this beautiful colonial style hotel you are made so welcome by the staff, we stayed in the Garden room which is small but beautifully made out and very private (don’t let the glass wall shower put you off you can’t be seen from the outside) the pool is a small dip pool set in lovely palm tree covered gardens and is like taking a bath, breakfast is served outside weather permitting and is freshly made and different each day, parking is limited but this didn’t seem an issue, the only criticism I could give is communication as we emailed the hotel twice several weeks before we traveled regarding the area and only got the standard auto reply and nothing else.
Graham
From the minute you arrive you are made so welcome at this beautiful colonial style property the staff and the facilities are perfect, we stayed in the Garden room which is small but beautifully made out and very private (don’t let the glass shower put you off your not visible to the outside) breakfast is good with outside dining weather permitting and the freshly cooked food is great and different each day, limited parking but we didn’t find this an issue, My only criticism would be communication prior to travel we reached to the hotel twice several weeks before to ask advice regarding the area and received no response in anyway.
Chris
The property was beautiful and an oasis. Staff were great. Food was delicious. Had everything that we needed, beach towels, beach chairs and beach umbrella. Room was clean. Pool was nice and warm. Would highly recommend this B & B for your place to stay.
Anette
From the very warm welcome by the reception staff we felt almost home. The room was very tastefully decorated, functional and clean. The highlight is truly the courtyard where you can have breakfast outside under the canopy of beautiful lush tropical plants or just relax at the pool. Breakfast is delicious including fresh fruit, fresh pancakes etc. when you are done with the tourist buzz in the rest of key west this is a very special retreat, quiet, shade / cooler and relaxing! Would highly recommend!!
Laura Lee
Beautiful B&B in Old Town. Choice of hot or continental breakfast — or both! Staff were friendly and helpful. Our Garden room was fantastic. If we make it back to Key West, we will stay again.
Zack
Very quaint and nice
Randy
The house and rooms are very clean. The property is awesome, and close too everything in old key west. We are going to make the mermaid and alligator a yearly trip from now on. It is a wonderful property.
Suzanne
Lovely accommodation. Staff really attentive. Love the quaintness of the gardens to sit and relax . Set Away from the hustle and bustle but only a short walk to Duval street. Love the idea of the snack station /drink station. Really lovely touch. Breakfast all cooked fresh and plentiful. Thank you would definitely recommend and study again if we were visiting the keys .
marie
The breakfast was delicious freshly made specials each morning. The pool is more of an oversized hot tub than a cool pool but it was relaxing anyway.
Anthony
Basically a lovely property, well maintained, in a very nice neighborhood, and just a couple of blocks from Duval, the ‘main drag.’ For a Select Registry property the manager needs to be more hospitable and attentive to guests. The happy hour, wine and cheese, in the afternoon needs a considerable upgrade and the breakfasts were quite ordinary.
nancy
The overall feeling is comfy friendly and private
There are shared spaces that are never crowded
The property is small but beautifully planted
The staff incredible!!!!
I truly hope we can come again

Clean rooms, wonderful gardens, friendly staff.
Pamela
The room was very clean and grounds were shaded and very nice. The only issue I had was the size of our room, we stayed in the \"Key Lime\" room and it was so small you could barely move around. Perhaps the other rooms are bigger, but would not recommend this room if you like room to move. The hotel was within walking distance to almost everything and the hotel has bikes you can rent which was really nice. The daily happy hour was a nice touch, would suggest you add some beer rather than just wine to give guests a choice.
Donnalee and Chris
The room and grounds were fine. Lovely.
No cheese in an omelet?? Dry toast, no butter?? If you can’t properly do breakfast, then don’t bother at all.
So disappointing. We sent our daughter and son-in-law there for their honeymoon. It was supposed to be a special treat!

There should be more of the normal hotel amenities such as a microwave or a tv or a mini fridge in the rooms. Some rooms the AC was noisy.

KATHERINE
Charming and spotless room, beautiful gardens for breakfast, heated jetted pool was lovely after a long day of walking...and everything in downtown KW is within walking distance. 100% would stay again.
Frank
Room was very clean, and bed was comfortable. house and grounds were perfectly curated and set up to relax and enjoy the perfect weather. Staff were all nice and helpful. Breakfast and happy hour were great and the available snacks / drinks were a welcomed treat.
Brenda
Very quaint place to stay! A few blocks from duval not a bad walk. They had a specific breakfast each morning with lots of fresh fruit, cereal other options. We would definitely stay again!
Mateo
Property had several areas to relax.
Joe
The whole experience was excellent. From checking in to checking out the staff was wonderful. The property was like walking into a comforting, soothing world. I would highly recommend this b and b for a great vacation spot.
Christina
Really loved my stay at The Mermaid & Alligator! The property is beautiful and in a very convenient location — easy to walk or bike to just about everything. You can even rent bikes from the property. The hot breakfast every morning was amazing, and I appreciated having snacks and drinks available all day. The only small downside was that the room I was in, the Sun room, was pretty small, but the balcony was awesome and made up for it. Finally, the staff were all super kind and friendly. Overall, a great stay and I’d definitely come back!
Pamela
Really cute & clean place. The gardens are beautiful! Very friendly staff & guests. Great walkable location. Amazing breakfast! Will definitely stay again.

LOVED our stay here. Beautiful setting and room. Very relaxing and enjoyed every moment. Wonderful staff. Añelka was very kind and helpful and made the BEST breakfasts! 🌺
Kathleen
The property is a beautiful oasis and the staff kind and accommodating. Good location if if you don't mind walking a little and easy to get Uber if preferred. Breakfasts were exceptional and our room/mini-cottage was beautiful! I highly recommend this property and hope to be back on our next visit.
Todd
Amazing staff!! Nice foliage and so cool to see wild iguanas daily at this property! Quiet, laid back vibe.
Rockwell
Mermaid & Alligator is a lovely guest house..a real gem..well maintained:furnished/delightfully decorated/curated & comfortable..our ground floor beautiful “garden bedroom”which had doors that opened onto several “cul de sac-like” garden seating, a dipping jacuzzi-like pool& fountains ..each area providing quietude..great to just read Hemingway (😊) or… ..yet the home is also walking distance from the Hemingway House, Duval Street & Seaport shops…
gloria
Magical, place to stay. The patio area was so peaceful, I fell asleep in the chair. We felt like we were the only ones there.
James
Very nice
Stacey
Absolutely loved staying here and are already looking at dates to come back!
Michael
Loved the property, great breakfast and amenities. Rooms could really use tvs to keep up on weather or local events happening. I'm not a big TV person but do enjoy watching local news and world news and weather. Like to do it in privacy.
Stacey Ann
Beautiful property! Tranquil and private
John Floyd
Staff was incredible. The location is perfectly located in Old Town. It’s quiet. The breakfast was great. Wonderful experience and my wife and I will certainly be back.
William
It is a beautiful property.
I was disappointed that the rooms have no TV, Microwave or Mini-refrigerator.
Those seem like standard things in even a cheap hotel.

Izabelle
I was honestly blown away by this place! The backyard is truly an oasis - I could’ve sat there all day and have been perfectly content. We were in the Sun Room, it was so cute we definitely want to book the same room again! It was really nice to be able to park at the residence, as another we stayed at required us to park at paid parking. Highly recommend!
Dong
Nice and cozy
Jon
Excellent property on Truman with off street parking. Staff is super friendly and helpful. It’s an easy walk to Duval Street and all the happenings down town. Place is absolutely lovely and will stay again.
Abigail
As a light sleeper I was worried it would be too noisy since we were in the Garden room right off Truman, but it was totally fine. They also provided a white noise machine for super light sleepers. The free breakfast each morning was nice- good variety day to day and filling until lunch. The location is walkable- made for sweaty walks due to the heat in late May, but we loved walking because it helped work off all the key lime pie! The B&B also had a small fridge constantly filled with cold water bottles, which were a godsend for all our walks and to keep hydrated while out and about. We easily walked from the B&B to Mallory square in under 30 min. There are also tons of bike and golf cart rental places nearby so it’s easier to go downtown if you like.
All in all a very chill, quiet, and serene place to stay. Felt more personal and historic than the large resorts/hotels closer to downtown- a nice place to retreat at the end of the day after being out on the water or exploring downtown Key West. Would totally stay again!

Sarah
Really wanted to absolutely love this place but it definitely needs work. Stayed in the Sun room, the bathroom has absolutely no ventilation so it turns into a swamp every time you shower. Theres a window in the bathroom that does not open. The bathroom also had a strange smell. My husband opened the the cabinets under the sink and it filled with water and dead bugs. He did this on the morning we were leaving so we didn’t have time to complain. Housekeeping daily is a great amenity to offer but like they dont even vacuum its just the bare minimum. Breakfast didnt taste bad but its cheap and bare minimum. Im sorry but this bed and breakfast is not luxury at all in my opinion. The location is great and walkable to Duval Street. The outdoor dining area is beautiful. Im sure there are worse places to stay just lower your exceptations if you are staying here.
Richard P
Exceptional!
Graciela
Been a repeat customer and it doesn’t disappoint.
Scott
We had a wonderful stay. Diana and her crew keep everything immaculate. We enjoyed the complimentary happy hour.
Dean
Amazing
Amazing hotel, amazing breakfast. Only issue, which is not a hotel problem is the street noise, you hear the traffic and people walking past the hotel at all time during day and night.
Rachel
I love this property; very serene, not a party vibe. Intimate. Private. Clean and beautiful too. Good breakfast, drinks / snacks available. The pool and grounds are so pretty. I had the key lime room, second time here to this b&b and it was lovely AGAIN. Will be a future visitor here again in the future. Walkable to attractions but still felt safe to me, as a solo female traveller this time.

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.
Ruth
This was an exceptional B&B! It was so quiet and comfy and I felt so at home. ;Diana went out of her way to reassure me when I had some reservation issues with Expedia. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful and you get served a delicious home cooked breakfast in the garden. I highly recommend it
Christine
Absolutely charming, unique, great food and service a hidden gem! Loved the various shady spots to sit and read, nice warm plunge pool! Very helpful staff

Great experience. Feels like home!
genevieve
This house is absolutely charming and perfectly located. We were given the Papaya room which is not in the main house but in another small building in the back. You can have access to the house at any time anyways. The room was small but very clean and pretty. The property does not have enough parking spots but you can park across the street for free. You can relax beside the small pool, or in the beautiful garden area. Breakfast is served starting at 8:30AM ( kind of late for us) but as we had booked a snorkeling trip and need to leave early, we were given a bag containing yogurt, fruits and bagels which was very convenient. I would go there again, although the chicken (who roam freely in the town) kept us awake most of the night. Not sure if you can do better unless you book a more recent hotel better insolated...
Barbara
The mermaid and the alligator is a nice property in a good location. Unfortunately because of its location it is noisy in the evening with traffic noise. Shower had mold on the ceiling. The room we stayed in had no tv and not enough electrical outlets.
Terry
Wonderful Stay
We loved the stay in this property. The atmosphere and ambiance were delightful. The backyard breakfast and relaxing area were the most impressive. I didn't get along very well with the mattress of the bed, but everything else was far above expectations..
michelle
It was one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in a while. It is a beautiful property in the perfect location. Never needed a bike or a car. Easy to get everywhere. Gardens and rooms are superb!
Wayne
Excellent location, Friendly and conscientious staff, pleasant outdoor sitting areas and landscaping. We stayed in the \"sun room\" which is the smallest unit. The home is old but well kept.
Danielle
Beautiful property and friendly staff!

What a gorgeous property! Comfortable bed/room, delicious fresh breakfasts, quiet garden/patio area, and very convenient to walk into town and everywhere. Would highly recommend!
Sheryl
Key West B&B
Nice facility. Comfortable room. Nice breakfast in the courtyard. Maybe because a little musty smelling they put air fresheners in the room which my husband didn’t appreciate. Some people have sensitive smell. Lots of road noise (sirens, music, loud engines etc). Church across the street had bells going off at 7:30 am every morning. If I came to Key West again I’d probably look for a quieter location
Susan
Lush garden
This is a gorgeous old home with a beautiful garden. They offered individually cooked breakfasts, something different each day. We were in the Garden Room. It was big enough for the two of us and we had an outside seating area, just for us. The home was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do. We had a great time.
Kathleen A.
Loved everything about our stay. Everything was as listed. The grounds were beautiful - the breakfast delicious / the room perfect - Beautiful quaint patio- got to swim in the heated pool - felt very safe - drinks and appetizers served in the afternoon- and the kitchen and dining area in the house was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again.
Charles
We were just staying the night so we did not avail ourselves of the amenities, but they looked to be good.
Parking was cumbersome. I parked behind some other guest's car. I wonder if they could have found us to ask us to let them out.

The location is great, the garden is spectacular, staff were very welcoming, it was the highlight of our trip.
The room had a moldy smell to it which was easily dealt with because the room has a door to the garden and big ceiling fan. We absolutely would stay here again.

We loved this place for its charm and unique character- surrounded by beautiful vegetation and trees providing quiet. Breakfast was made to order each day, with a new item on the menu. Diana the manager, was a wonderful host and helped arrange a wonderful on site professional massage with a great service provider. Everything in Key West old town is just a 10 minute walk away.

Tim
Wonderful stunning hotel! This is a real gem. Fantastic warm and friendly staff who were very welcoming. Very impressive room which was clean and tidy. Cooked breakfast's were perfect. Lovely grounds to relax in and only 5min walk to Duval Street. Very highly recommended!
Ronald
The property is very well kept and beautiful. Staff are also very attentive and nice. My only issue is that there was an intermittent vibration, that would last ~15 seconds and then stop, which would shake the property enough that you could hear it while in bed. This would happen about every 3-5 minutes. Otherwise an excellent property.
