We just returned from a 4-night stay at the Heron House in Key West. You really can't beat the location. It is only several blocks to Duval St. where the action is but it is seems very quiet and secluded. Our room was a garden terrace room directly off the upstairs sun deck. Of course, it was entirely too hot to use the sun deck during the day, but in the evening it was great just to sit outside and relax. The pool was warm but even so, it was pleasant to take a quick dip and then let the breeze cool you off. The breakfast was fine each day, served in the breezeway on the pool patio. There was complimentary wine and cheese on Friday and Saturday evenings by the pool. The hosts were ready and willing to answer questions and make reservations for activities and dining. Our room was clean and spacious. If I returned to the Heron House, I would request a room with a private balcony/patio so that I could sit in a shaded area - there's not a lot of shade available during the hot part of the day. I would also avoid getting a room near the breezeway where breakfast is served as it could be a little noisy for late sleepers. Although somewhat pricey ( as everything is in Key West), I would stay here again.
