Great host and clean condo. We were staying here while enjoying the great fishing that Cedar Key has to offer. The condo had everything we needed and more. The views from the back porch were great; to sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet of this island was very relaxing after being on the water all day. Recommend renting a golf cart and unplugging while on island time.
