Wonderful holiday stay
We spent our holiday in Cedar Key. We fished, shopped, ate, and spent a lot of time with family and friends. This house served our group well, and we were all comfortable and happy. It’s also pet friendly:)

Quiet, comfortable, and accessible
An enjoyable 5-10 minute walk to town. Not a great view of the water from the house compared to many other houses you could rent, but the little back sunroom does offer a pleasant limited view of the water and has a nice dockside diner vibe... nice spot for coffee and breakfast. The house is spacious and has a great floorplan for 3 pairs of adults. Be aware that the wall dividing the master bedroom from the living room and kitchen area does not extend all the way up to the ceiling, so noise from the kitchen and living room is loud and clear in the master bedroom, and vice versa. Otherwise a great little property. All I wanted was a place that offered accessibility to town and was a comfortable place to stay between going out and about - this place exceeded my expectations.

Wish I could have stayed longer
After some confusion at check in, all went very well. The only problem I see with the property is that the master bathroom has almost no ventilation and the oscillating fan has to run at all times to make it somewhat comfortable in there.
