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 very clean and all of the staff was fabulous. They were remodeling the rooms and redoing the pool, so that wasn’t available. But that wasn’t a big deal as the beach was 2 minutes away.

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.
