Beautiful property, rooms and grounds. Fabulous location right on mid Duval Street. I had a reservation on the navy base but could not gain access to the base, so I randomly picked the Duval House based on OTHER reviews, which were spot on. I would definitely stay here again

The room was beautifully done, clean and welcoming. The shower was fabulous! We were in a private spot in the back so it was something of a trek to the car. It was nice to have a quiet outside table & chairs. Once the renovations are done, it should be a really great place.

Nice big room. Great air conditioner... Great bed, sink, bathroom, and shower. And great location. Some of the lamp outlets/ USB ports didn't work. Whatever, not really an issue.
