My wife & I stayed at The M&A for a bunch of nights this past summer after doing a whole lot of research on places to stay in Key West. We used to vacation there on college spring break time and were curious at how different the experience would be now that we have graduated college. I read all of the amazing reviews I could find on the Mermaid and the Alligator and was sure that this was going to be the right place for us. The point I am trying to make with writing my review is that it is a place to stay for travelers of all ages. Ironically after you heard that sentence, we were the youngest guests staying in the house, but it was not at all a problem, in fact it was one of the best trips that we as a married couple and single have ever had. If you are looking for peace and quiet,  coziness and splendor to enjoy the person or persons that you are traveling with, then this is the place to be. We stayed in one of the most romantic and special rooms ever. A memory I will cherish for the rest of my life starts with that huge balcony  that overlooked the lovely front of the house with my wife, and being in a complete state of love and admiration of our life at that very moment. That had to be the most romantic moment, save for our wedding day that I have ever had. I owe that moment to this great guesthouse!


My husband and I spent a week at the Mermaid and Alligator in KW Florida, in the Key Lime Room. Every little nook and cranny was perfect. The spacious tropical grounds, delicious and assorted variety breakfasts and the friendly dowsing of wine gatherings were a marvelous way to meet the other people who were staying at the bed and breakfast. National hotel chains are a comfort zone for most people, however, it does not matter how four star and glamorous  they may be, this accommodation will surely beet them into pulp! That's the main reason we like this bed and breakfast the best. We did not feel like we gave up quality or amenities, we felt like we gained a healthy dose of both! The Mermaid and Alligator really stands out strong among the best of the best at which we have stayed. The accommodations are elegant yet relaxed. Highly recommended. Can't wait to return back again!
