We recently stayed five nights at the Heron House. Even with Hurricane Gustav churning in the Gulf and a couple of days of off and on rain, we had an enjoyable experience. What we liked the most was the proximity of the Heron House to Duval Street, close enough, however, far enough away for quiet and peaceful evenings at the Heron House. The room was clean, private, and comfortable. On one of the days we ate at the continental breakfast at 8am, it was below average food (they can do much better in presentation and selection if they wanted to), however coffee was good. We mostly ate breakfast on Duval Street restaurants. Overall it was an above average stay, I would recommend this B&B to any of my family and friends.

Just returned from a five days in Key West & three weeks in St.Petersburg.
Stayed at Heron House for the first five days, my only regret is not staying longer.
I could not fault the facilities, accommodation or staff in any anyway.
Heron House is located in a quite area, one block away from Duval Street & a short walk to the centre.
In contrast with St.Petersburg the best thing of all, quite & no children running around.
Would we book again, most certainly we already looking at availability for next year.
A great way to see the Key West is via bi-plane from the local airport.

Our recent stay was very enjoyable!!! The accomadations were perfect, and clean! The staff is very attentive, and we enjoyed Michael's pleasant manner in the morning at a delicious breakfast which he continually kept filled. It was also a pleasure to deal with Josh and Cynthia in the office who were always professional and friendly!!

Thank You!

My boyfriend and I just returned from a long weekend in Key West where we stayed at the Heron House. This place made our trip! It's in a great location - just one block away from Duval Street. But it feels like miles away from the noise! It was great to drop off our bags of souvenirs without taking up time walking across the island. And when the Florida sun is at its hottest, it was wonderful to pop back to our room, change into our bathing suits and take a dip before heading out to dinner. Our room was a poolside room, which is literally poolside. Some reviewers noted that it was noisy at breakfast time. Maybe the air conditioner in our room drowned it out, but I couldn't hear a thing. The room was a little small compared to normal hotel rooms, but we weren't planning to sit around in the room anyway. Besides, the Heron House has plenty of poolside seating, as well as a great sundeck, and comfy outdoor couches in a beautiful breezeway. A note to some travellers - our room did not have a tub but only a standup shower. This was clearly stated to us when we booked so we knew what to expect. (I have read some reviews where people were surprised to find out they didn't have a tub.) The door to the bathroom is also a pocket door with wooden slats - not soundproof so it may not be the best thing for those that suffer from "stagefright." But enough about the rooms! The staff at the Heron House are extremely friendly and helpful! When asked, they had plenty of recommendations for dining and activities. Every member of the staff was quick with a smile and hello. The breakfast was great - several types of cereal, toast, danish, coffee, tea, juice. On Saturday, they even had a hot meal of cheese blintzes. We were able to fill up our bellies every morning for our day of sightseeing. From what I saw of breakfast menus around the island, having a breakfast included in your room price is a great value and very convenient. I absolutely loved the Heron House and have already recommended them to several friends and my parents!
