Welcome to Miss Helen's, the perfect vacation rental in Cedar Key, for families and friends seeking a cozy and comfortable stay. Our one principle is attention to detail, and we always ask ourselves, "What would our renters expect when they visit Miss Helen's?"
As you step into our vacation rental, you will find everything you need to feel at home. From Wi-Fi and satellite TV to a washer and dryer, BBQ, and well-equipped kitchen for cooking, we've got you covered. You can relax on our comfortable furniture and beds, wrapped in excellent linens and towels, and enjoy the coastal theme decor throughout the house.
Our great room, which includes a comfortable living room, dining area, and open kitchen, is the perfect spot for families and friends to gather and bond. With a maximum occupancy of four, our comfortable bedrooms each have queen beds. The master bedroom comes with a private bath with a shower, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests.
At Miss Helen's, we provide adequate parking for two or three vehicles or a vehicle and a boat. As a boating town, Cedar Key is the perfect location for boaters. You can park your trailer at the house and walk back to the launch ramp, which is located nearby.
Miss Helen's is an authentic Cedar Key cottage once owned and occupied by Ms. Helen Richburg Johanson and her sister Ms. Armalee Richburg, who were lifelong residents of the island. Recently updated and remodeled, the house still retains the charm and character of the old days when Cedar Key was just a quiet fishing village.
Located one block from city park and the beach and kayak launch, you can walk to anywhere in Cedar Key from Miss Helens. Please note that events are not allowed at Miss Helen's, and we cannot allow parties, group gatherings, smoking, or pets.
Book your stay at Miss Helen's today and experience the comfort and charm of authentic Cedar Key living.
