    Looking out into the water from the Barnacle

    The Barnacle Bed and Breakfast is so charming. The rooms are very unique and comfortable. The beach is so relaxing. The hosts Jane and Tim are so hospitable. And there is wildlife too. We were visted multiple times by Key Deer during our four night stay. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. The location is perfect because you are only 20 minutes from Key West and close to other keys other keys so you can visit the Turtle rescue in Marathon and other keys. All the recommendations for food and activities from Jane were great. I really recommend this place as a home away from home.

    The main building is a little strange - it has like a funky futuristic 70s vibe, but it all works. Most of the rooms seem to be in the main "barn" building pod; there is a semi-open air veranda that all the rooms open off of. And you can walk up to the roof and look out to sea (the place is right on the beach). You can rent kayaks and also they have the endangered key deers traipsing around. Really pretty, reasonable prices and away from all the hubbub of Key West, but close enough to go to it.

    The Mermaid & The Alligator is what you hope a bed-and-breakfast will be…read more Set in a historic Victorian in Old Town, it's shaded, peaceful and just far enough from the noise to let you breathe. The rooms are comfortable and full of personality, with small details that make them feel lived-in rather than staged. Outside, the gardens are the star -- leafy, quiet and perfect for lingering. Our room had a wraparound porch and a hammock. Breakfast isn't an afterthought. It's fresh fruit, homemade dishes and good coffee served outdoors, slow and unrushed. And because it's independently owned, the hospitality feels real -- warm, attentive and low-key in the best way. You come to Key West for the energy. You stay here for the calm. And you leave wishing you'd planned to stay longer.

The Mermaid & The Alligator is hands-down the best bed-and-breakfast in Key West, and honestly, you'll wish you never had to leave. Housed in a 1904 Victorian mansion right in the heart of Old Town, this independently owned gem has the kind of charm chain hotels only pretend to have. Think wraparound porches, lush tropical gardens, orchids dangling from banyan trees, and a vibe so tranquil you half expect Hemingway to stroll through with a daiquiri. The rooms? Gorgeous. Each one feels personal, with Caribbean-inspired decor, canopy beds, and soft linens that make it way too easy to "accidentally" sleep through your Duval Street plans. Outside, the gardens are pure Key West magic: fountains trickle, palms sway, and yes -- the occasional rooster might strut by like it owns the place. Breakfast here is its own event: fresh tropical fruit, homemade pastries, quiches, and strong coffee served in the garden. It's the kind of peaceful start that makes you consider selling everything, moving here, and writing your memoirs. And because it's independently owned, the hospitality feels personal -- warm, genuine, and full of little touches that make you feel less like a guest and more like a friend who lucked into paradise. The Mermaid & The Alligator isn't just a stay; it's a love letter to Key West itself. Come for the charm, stay for the breakfast, and leave plotting how to "accidentally" extend your trip.

The entire property was renovated with high-end materials, furnishings and decor. We got The Beach front cottages next to each others, some good friends of ours traveled with my husband and myself. It was perfect. Very low-key. They recommended Midway café, and oh my gosh, such a great find! Maybe a 3 to five minute walk from the cottages! They also gave us recommendations and I don't remember the name. We walked across the street for dinner the first night the second night we Uber to another place down the road. We'll be back!

    Pines and Palms retirement community!…read more We've stayed here for a few years and always had a great experience... last year (2024) we were told that the resort would undergo a renovation and would be featured on HGTV's Restoration Island. We were excited about the new changes and rebooked for 2025. Fast forward to 2025, we arrived and were pleasantly surprised by the new look! the property looks great! Now to the bad.... the pool/bar. The property doesn't have a liquor license. therefore, if you like anything other than beer, you're out of luck. If you do happen to have a preloaded yeti with your favorite mixed drink, watch out! The pool boy will promptly call you out and ask you to stow it. Additionally, at 8pm the pool closes !!!!! No evening dips. I was told that was due to no attendant present. However, the beach is still open and "swim at your own risk" as if that's safer at night.... seems as if the unavailability to charge you $10 for a drink has out weighed your ability to use the pool. Additionally, pines and palms charter is no longer here, I was told the boat was sold, I was given a number to a captain that provides services to the resort, snorkeling/fishing and such. That person doesn't answer... You're better off going elsewhere. In the end, I'm sitting here writing a review while at the resort at 9pm, disappointed. It's a bummer, this place was a hidden gem.

We booked this establishment months in advance, which is probably necessary, as we wanted a premium and quiet room. Arrival was easy. Of note, unlike most establishments in Key West, they have a dedicated and paved adjacent parking lot. As we arrived just a little later than planned due to plenty of rain on our route, the Inn called and checked our arrival time and kept afternoon snacks and drinks available. We were walked to our room after an easy check in and shown the highlights of our room. A basic, but premium , continental serve yourself breakfast was provided every morning. Also, every late afternoon snacks and happy hour was present. Pro tip - try the house made sangria! The amenities and comforts of the room were great. The bed was comfortable with several pillows and premium sheets. The room was cleaned thoroughly daily with fresh towels provided. The A/C is the older type wall model with some noise; but actually nice white noise, and it worked really well. Make no mistake; Key West is hot and humid, you'll be loving the A/C. The toiletries were nice and plentiful. The shower and upgraded spa tub were absolutely perfect. There is a little fridge, wet bar and Keurig with several K cups, cream and sugar. Two blocks away is the historic Hemingway House and Key West Lighthouse. Also, a great Cuban cafe is a block away. A CVS is nearby for emergency purchases. Numerous restaurants and shops are nearby. We parked our SUV and walked everywhere during our stay. One day we got a trolley ticket for the further sights such as The Southernmost Point. Lastly but not least. The staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable and willing to assist. Huge kudos especially to Danny who was absolutely stellar as he assisted and served us numerous times. In addition to Danny, Cary was also a notable benefit to us and this wonderful lodge. Lastly, kudos to our housekeeper as she was very thorough and came and went daily with perfect timing. Next time we visit Key West in the Free State of Florida we will only consider Almond Tree Inn!

The rooms are well appointed with great linens, stocked Keurig coffee makers and large refrigerators. Bicycles are avail for rent. We rented them and went to the Fort Zachary Taylor beach. It's a great beach and only $2.50 a price. We love it there.

The location is great, we walked to many restaurants, breweries and coffee shops. Everyone (staff and guests) was wonderful and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and do plan to return. Here are some tips for anyone planning to stay here and some suggestions to the resort: CHECK IN - Easy Peasy. Nice women greeted us and told us a little about the resort. Sadly, no champagne was offered to us, as we read in other reviews. ROOM - We were in a "partial ocean view one bedroom king suite", in the 'highrise' building - number 20. The room was a little dated as we expected. The bathroom is very tiny, but functional. Nice kitchen area. Bed was comfortable and lots of pillows. Table and chairs on the deck overlooking the resort. Overall, great room and had a decent ocean view. The only thing about the Highrise rooms is you can't use the grills, but that was not an issue for us, as we hadn't planned to do that. You really don't need to spend much time in the room. HOUSEKEEPING - Rooms were clean; plenty of towels - beach towels replaced daily. Wet mopped daily and had a nice smell. POOL - Clean and warm. Nothing fancy, but its perfect for the P&P vibe. Pool bar was great, Anderson was our man. Happy hour is 3-5 every day. Everyone talks to one another and we watched some fun sporting events. Saturday there was live music. I wish it was more than one day. The musician was good. BEACH/OCEAN - Cute little beach, with lounge chairs and a hammock. We used a kayak one day which was really fun, there is also paddle boards for use. 2 nice piers to walk out for sunrise or to look at fish. One pier has 2 Adirondack chairs. Beach area could use some firepits, cornhole and/or horseshoes. OTHER - Yoga on the beach Sat and Thurs. I wish it was offered more frequently, I didn't get to partake. Bikes on the resort to use, we rode around town one day and stumbled upon a farmers market. Adorable boutique on site. Truly ADORABLE. Check out the orchids in the trees!! Offsite, check out (all walkable): Midway Cafe, Islamorada Brewing Company, Florida Keys Brewing Company, Bob's Bunz, Square Grouper, Lazy Days, Amara Cay (resort bar open later than PP bar) And don't miss the Tarpon Feeding at Robbies!!

    I love Pines & Palms on Islamorada. The property is quaint & has a nice relaxing vibe.read more

She showed us all around the apartment downstairs and how the lights, fans, air con works etc. Although there's no kitchen, there a coffee machine, toaster oven, microwave with a bagel toaster in the side, plenty of tea and coffee and heaps of snacks. There were some beers in the fridge that we were welcome to have too! There were plenty of beach towels to use and a drying rack put out so we would hang them up after using them. There's a little jetty out the back that you can sit and have a coffee in the morning or a drink at night. There was also a fire place out the back & wood. She warned us that sometimes great big iguana's hang out in the garden. She made us feel very welcome. Her husband even gave us a great trip for lunch (Chad's) that was close by and fantastic. The bathroom is small but complete with toiletries and a good size for two people to share. The rest of the apartment is quite large. Lots of toys and things to use as well. Although it downstars from someone's house, it was very private and comfortable. We left our iPhone charger behind and forgot to get our souvenir hat which she happily posted to us as well. All round a great experience.
