What an incredible vacation we had. We loved waking up and strolling over to the 1842 coffee shop and The 2nd Street Cafe/Steamers did not disappoint. The food was amazing. The Dilly Dally was super fun to shop at and the local art was stunning! Everything and everyone was so accommodating and family friendly. Our boys didn’t want to leave and are already planning our next visit! A Huge Thank You to our hosts and McCormick’s Realty for their wonderful hospitality!!

The porch was in horrible condition and that was our favorite spot. We could have had less decorations to clutter up the place and instead supplied shampoo. Cedar Key is so limited on supplies and we had to go severalPlaces just to find some to purchase. Overall we loved the location but would not book that particular condo again.
