Quaint cottage in an interesting neighborhood. The interior very clean and well stocked. Outside of cottage needs some cleaning … mossy and some mold, esp on back deck. Windows hard to see out of due to film and grill not operable. Broken furniture stacked up on back deck. Just sat in front porch and enjoyed people watching!

We loved the front and back decks, the period furnishings and how cozy it was. Beds were comfy, it had everything we needed. It was an easy and quick walk to Dock Street, Downtown, ate several times at the Prickly Palm right around the corner. Cant wait to come back.

We are on a post-retirement road trip and decided to explore Cedar Key. Communication with the rental company was outstanding. The cute small town vibe was just what we wanted. They were still recovering from a hard hit by a hurricane 4-5 weeks prior to our visit but were operating at about 75% I’d say. Everyone was very friendly and we had plenty of places to grab a cocktail some good food. Recommend visiting Manatee Springs State Park (even though there were no manatees that day!). We definitely want to visit Cedar Key and work with this rental company again!

We loved this little cottage. Everything about the place is as advertised. Clean, comfortable beds and a strong AC. It is a very short walk to all restaurants and bars and it is close enough to the boat ramp that we just parked the trailer at the house to avoid the launch fee. Good boat washing area beside the cottage.
