We loved the condo, everything was clean and perfect size for our family. It’s right there close to everything and you can walk to the beach. We had a great time in Cedar Key! We love this little town, it’s perfect to relax and slow down for a few days!

This place was awesome! We will definitely stay in C201 again. Amazing view!!! The balcony was very private with a nice view of the pool and hot tub. The pictures on the app are 100% accurate. The sunsets to the left of the balcony were spectacular! Fans on the balcony made it cool and breezy and easy to hang out. Inside, the place is very clean and nicely furnished. We had everything we needed for a 7 night stay. The hosts responded quickly to questions. The management office was wonderful. We stopped by to pick up a pack and play with no issues. Looks like a nicely run team. This was our 2nd time visiting Cedar Key. First time was in July. The fireworks were amazing! This time we just had to bring our son and his family. They loved it!! We biked everywhere and ate lots of clams and seafood. Our favorite restaurant was Steamers! Omg, we tried Jay Birds Chicken restaurant for the first time and it was amazing! Also had ice cream next door! When we needed to shop, the Dollar General was close by. Tiki bar was very cool. Real “Keys” vibe. Our hosts definitely bought the perfect condo!! Loved it!! Love Cedar Key!! All the locals are so friendly. We will definitely be back!!

island retreat

the entire vacation was amazing! the property hosts were very helpful with letting us know what was open on the island and what was not due to the impact of hurricane Helene. allowing us to purchase Groceries on our way there and plan accordingly. they were also very Timely with returning messages I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a Family Getaway

Great location and very responsive host, although some of the automated messages gave incorrect information, but that was resolved with a quick phone call. The unit is comfy for sure. The recliners were a nice touch. The unit is older and could use a good deep clean but nothing we couldn't overlook. The unit does say pet-free, but there was pet hair (dog probably) on the bedroom floors. The elevator was super nice! BUT :) beware the human size mosquitos that will try to eat you alive after dusk! If the elevator has a camera, they definitely had a show of us dancing to keep them at bay! We did plan on a golf cart but found pretty quickly that one is not needed as there is plenty of parking everywhere we went! Steamers is a must! If you catch your own fish, they will prepare it for you! Scalloping and fishing with "Hookin It" Charters and Tours was awesome! Highly recommend. If you have time, drive to Homosassa and eat at The Freezer!! Cash only! Oh, and can't forget Crystal River and the springs! The water is clear, cold, and stunning! We would return if in the area again. Thank you for hosting!

Great quiet location

Was looking for a relaxing week away from all the tourists. Found a perfect location here! Property has a nice pool and is just across the street from a nice beach. Unit was clean and as advertised. Communication with the owners/management company was quick, courteous and responsive. Would definitely consider a return trip!

Pressure release retreat

Excellent view of the marsh land and tidal water. Dark sky’s for good start watching. Walking distance to great fresh seafood restaurants and dock that boats launch from. This is old Florida at its best. No chain retails or restaurants on island. All local owned with their own original vibe. We would rent this unit again.
