My wife and I stayed at the Heron House as part of her birthday and diving getaway. The Bed & Breakfast style hotel was quiet and cozy. We enjoyed the fact that it was off the main drag of Duval Street, yet close enough to enjoy the short walk to the Duval Street area. Parking is a problem however, as... More

Overall, a very good experience staying at this Bed & Breakfast -- recommend ... the location is really exceptional (ez couple of blocks walk to Deval Street, Mallory Square, Old Town). Recommend you go to their website to check out the photos and history ... happy to report the rooms are actually as nice as the photos show (which isn't... More

We stayed at Heron House for four nights during our visit to Key West and found it to be a very nice, charming place to stay. Our favorite feature of this hotel was the location, you are in a historic neighborhood, only a block off of the excitement of Duval St., what more could you ask for? This was our... More

This was our 2nd time in Key West and this location was just ideal. One block off of Duval Street and not too far from the harbor. The Heron House offers a serene, peaceful setting with relaxing music and an easy-going vibe. No kids are allowed, which adds to the peace and quiet. Our room was an ample size, although... More

My wife a I have stayed at the Heron House two years in a row, October 2011 & 2012. The location of this bed and breakfast to Duval Street which is the next block over, make it ideal for walking home after a long night out. The rooms are small but this is a bed and breakfast, and that is... More

This is our 5th year here; there are a variety of room sizes and locations, each with a different feel. Examples: one 2nd floor room overlooks Simonton street from a very large porch/deck where we loved to take morning coffee and reading. Ground floor by the food court (great breakfast set-up), worked well for me as I frequently am a... More

Under no circumstances would I recommend this property. Before we booked, we read the disparaging reviews on Trip Advisor, and foolishly ignored them. The accommodation was overpriced, and our minuscule room and bathroom smelled strongly of mould and chlorine. The neighbours were also noisy. So, sleep was difficult. None of this discomfort compares to the rudeness of the management at... More

good guest house, interesting layout, but not much privacy so if you like your own space with nobody else about this is not for you, we had room 3 which is poolside, the doors opened directly onto the pool terrace, so we had to keep our blinds pulled all the time, OK for a couple of nights, but any longer...

We recently completed four glorious days in Key West. A major factor in the comfort of our stay was The Heron House Inn, close to everything if you are a good walker and blissfully quiet. Our room was generous and very well appointed. Breakfast is included and could have been a bit better but Sara Beth's is right down the... More

We just completed a 3 night stay at the Heron House over News Years. I have to say this is a nice establishment that only needs better management to be superb. Unfortunately I doubt the owners or management every reads these things or they would do something about it. Our stay could have easily been rated a 4 or maybe... More
