Island charm in the center of Cedar Key

Welcome to Mellow Yellow: Your Charming Cedar Key Getaway

Escape to the tranquil paradise of Cedar Key and make Mellow Yellow your home away from home. This delightful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage is nestled in the heart of Cedar Key, just three blocks from 2nd Street and a leisurely 10-minute stroll to Dock Street. Surrounded by lush trees, Mellow Yellow offers a tropical hideaway where relaxation and rejuvenation are guaranteed.

Your Arrival: Under the Canopy of Cedar Trees

As you approach Mellow Yellow, you'll be greeted by one of Cedar Key's majestic cedar trees. The cottage's inviting front porch features two classic rocking chairs, creating the perfect spot for sipping your morning coffee in the shade.

Indoor Comfort: A Charming Living Space

Step inside the cottage and enter the cozy living room, furnished with a comfortable sofa, a sitting chair, and a Roku TV complete with VHS and DVD players (a selection of videos is provided for your entertainment). A writing desk and an array of local artwork add to the charm of this space.

Bedrooms: Restful Nights Await

To the left of the living room, you'll discover the first bedroom, thoughtfully equipped with a twin-sized day bed and a twin-sized trundle underneath. This flexible arrangement allows you to configure the beds as a single twin, two twins, or a spacious king bed to suit your preferences. There is a closet and 2 small drawer units for storage.

Just beyond the living room, the main bedroom holds a brand-new queen bed, an armoire, two closets, and spacious nightstands with reading lamps. This bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a single sink, toilet, and shower, ensuring your comfort and convenience.

Fully Equipped Kitchen: The Heart of the Home

The U-shaped kitchen is positioned in the center of the cottage and comes fully equipped with everything you need for both short and extended stays. It features a large electric stove and oven, as well as a dishwasher, making meal preparation and clean up a breeze.

Dining: Gather Around the Table

Beyond the kitchen, you'll discover a beautiful dining room with a table that comfortably seats six guests. Whether you're enjoying a family meal or entertaining friends, this space is ideal for sharing laughter and stories.

Additional Amenities: Convenience and Comfort

At the rear of the house, you'll find another full bathroom with a tub/shower combination and a stacked washer and dryer, providing added convenience during your stay.

Backyard: Screened Patio and Garden Retreat

Step onto the fully screened back patio, a perfect spot for evening gatherings and relaxation. For those seeking a sunnier experience, venture into the backyard, where you'll find four Adirondack chairs and a small table. We've provided a large umbrella and a hammock, these can be found in the laundry room at the back of the house. The hammock can easily be hooked into the straps already installed on the palm trees. Swing gently in the afternoon breeze and let your worries drift away.

Grilling and Parking: Convenience All Around

Fire up the charcoal BBQ in the backyard to grill up a delicious meal at home, or take a short stroll to Cedar Key's renowned seafood restaurants for a taste of local cuisine.

Parking is a breeze with space for up to three vehicles in the long concrete driveway, and additional street parking is available if needed.

Mellow Yellow invites you to experience the laid-back charm of Cedar Key from the comfort of this inviting cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. We love Cedar Key, it is a friendly, beautiful island. The people there are helpful and friendly. The screened in porch was our favorite place to be, enjoyed the sounds of nature and quiet.

Cozy cottage near town
This house was fantastic. Cozy old cottage loaded with charm and a screened in porch that was amazing. Close to everything. We brought bikes so once we parked the car we never needed it again. The cottage had everything we needed and check in was a breeze. Definitely recommend this gem!
