My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Joi emailed check in procedure before our arrival, greeted us, and then afforded us complete privacy. The cottage is great for two people. The kitchen is perfectly adequate to prepare a simple breakfast or lunch to enjoy on the deck. Outside, we sat among the lush Florida trees, watching and listening to birds. We walked in the neighborhood, which is quiet and safe. Joi emailed numerous recommendations for sights and restaurants. Overall, a wonderful, low-key get-away!

Kitchen area had a shop sink propped up by a clothspin. Large open hole below sink, not very clean. Shower had recent, unfinished drywall patch. We did not stay. Made other arrangements.

This property is in a quiet neighbor that was great for morning walks. The 'guest cottage' is nestled in the live oaks and natural vegetation of the property. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch drinking our morning coffee. The cottage also has an interesting history with the previous owners using the cottage as an art studio and archeology lab. There are still pits on the property from archeology excavations. The interior is cozy and sufficient. The bed was comfortable. The island has a ton of history to explore. Be sure to stop in at both of the museums on the island. There are three short hiking trails. The trail behind the cemetery (Cemetery Trail) is a great place for a picnic lunch. The island is also great for cycling. We road our bikes everywhere. This was a very relaxing vacation spot...not over crowded and commercialized. As a matter of fact, there is not a franchised business on the island. This is truly unspoiled Florida.

Cedar Key Is one of the few places where you can experience a sense of the richer past in Florida. We love it, and now we have the perfect place, with the perfect host, to stay there when we visit--Joi's lovely, cozy cottage, perfect for two people and their dogs. One of the best places we've stayed anywhere in America. And Joi, new to this business, will soon be a superhost.
