As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

One of the great things about Florida is that you don’t have to leave the state to get away from it all. Paradise is right here in the Sunshine State, and this celebrated inn is the perfect place to experience it.

There are plenty of beautiful bed and breakfasts in our state, but few can hold a candle to The Mermaid & The Alligator Bed & Breakfast in dreamy Key West.

You might find a gorgeous upscale inn, but then it's stuffy and you feel like you have to tip-toe through the hallways like you're in a museum or a library. Theme park resorts are lots of fun, but then you usually lose out on the peace and tranquility of a grown-up retreat.

It's hard to find the perfect balance between elegance and laid-back comfort that The Mermaid & The Alligator has mastered. Though this is a historic home, it isn't some overly busy, wallpapered B&B with dusty antiques from wall to wall.

The grounds are so lush and perfectly landscaped that they almost outshine the home's interior. There are plenty of common areas throughout the gardens where guests can sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the outdoors. You are in Key West, after all.
