We just returned from our third stay at Heron House,and again had a terrific vacation . Staff is very friendly,quarters are pleasent and the location is just an easy walk to everyhing.. I want to go again.

My husband and I traveled to Key West with 2 other couples and stayed at the Heron House on Simonton Street May 29-June 2. One of the couples shopped for hotels via the internet and let me tell you, Heron House is truly as beautiful as the pictures on their website! Everything was just as we had seen on the website. None of us had ever stayed at a bed & breakfast before and weren't too sure what to expect, but after experiencing the peacefulness and tranquility at the Heron House we have all decided to come back again in a few years.

All 3 of our rooms were grouped together in a shaded porch area off of the pool (poolside room). Even though we were all literally next door to each other, we never heard voices or TV sounds through the walls. The staff at Heron House was exceptional! They were "there" but barely visible, always helpful and very informative. Our room and that of one other couple was rather small with one double bed, a mini refrigerator and a stand-up shower in the bathroom, but still perfectly sized for 2 people. The third couple had a slightly larger room with a whirlpool tub/shower and a mini bar. None of us had any complaints at all. We all spent each afternoon and early evening sitting on "our" porch outside of our rooms enjoying snacks and drinks.

The breakfast served varied each day. The staples were coffee, teas, orange juice, cereal, fruit salad, hard boiled eggs, breads (+ english mufflins and croissants with a toaster near by), and the staff served french toast one day and cheese omelets the next. Each day breakfast was delicious and filling!

One of the best things about the Heron House is the location. You are 2 blocks from Duval Street where all the action takes place...bars, restaurants, shops, but at night it is so peaceful and quiet that you don't realize just how close to the nightlife you are.

My best story...after we had returned home and I began to sort laundry, I realized that when my husband was re-packing our suitcase, he left a pair of my capris at the hotel. One quick phone call later and Rebecca at the front desk had already checked the lost and found (with no results) and promised to check our room for my capris when it wasn't occupied. I received a phone call from her a few hours later letting me know that she found them behind the wooden luggage rack. Rebecca is shipping them back to me and has totally reinforced my pleasure with Heron House. Not many hotels would go out of the way as she did to check the room again for a missing item of clothing. Thank you, Rebecca! And thank you, Heron House. We are all planning another trip to Key West and will be staying at Heron House again!

Just returned from a 4 night stay. What a beautiful place. We had a pool view room with a queen size bed. Ver comfortable room. We had a refrigerator in the room with a little wet bar. Our bathroom was spacious with a jacuzzi tub. Spent a lot of time relaxing in the pool. Used the sundeck but it did get a little hot. Relaxing music played thru out the property. Very close to Duval where all the action is. I never saw the staff stop. They were always working and the cleanliness and appearance of the property shows their hard work. I will definitely be going back for another stay.

Heron House became a sanctuary to us. We ended up staying three nights with an interlude in between. We booked here for the first night because we could not get into the Curry Mansion Inn. Little did we know what a little piece of heaven we had right in front of us. Then we moved to the Curry Mansion Inn for three nights. See that forum for details, suffice it to say we could not wait to get back to Heron House. We called Heron House the afternoon we checked out and a junior suite had just had a cancellation. We booked it immediately and happily returned as quickly as possible the following day.

There is relaxing music playing by the pool all the time. There is a sun deck to get sun because with all the lush tropical folige the pool does get rather shady. The breakfast was good and the wine and cheese on the weekend was also great. Upon checkin we were offered a glass of wine and shown the property (1st time anyway). Our first room was on the exterior with a small view of the pool from one window on the second floor. I really recommend the junior suite. It opens up right onto the patio where the sofa's are and where breakfast is served. Fabulous room and spotless! We would have been happy to just have our original room back, but the junior suite was worth the extra few dollars.

We did not have any problems with the parking. We found parking just a block away the two times we had to park. The staff there is very friendly and the ammenities are great while still being close to Duval.

If we ever go back to Key West we would definetly stay at Heron House again.
