About this property

Beach Shack: Central location, recent renovation

Tucked in the heart of Cedar Key village you`ll find the Beach Shack. With its fresh interior, well-appointed furnishings and fabulous central location you can`t go wrong!

Just 3 strolling blocks from the water and 2 from the delicious dining options of 2nd St, you won`t need to drive unless you really want to. The famous Cedar Key Fishing Pier is less than a half mile and while you`re out there check out the shops and restaurants on the water, the views at sunset can`t be beat!
**We ask that all guests be over the age of 18.

The Beach Shack has a beautifully open floor plan allowing for conversation between the living room, kitchen and dining areas.

The living room holds is a queen-sized pull-out couch and plush recliner for a total of 4-5 people to sit and chat or watch TV. With a fun and friendly beach vibe it`s easy to feel at home here. Extra blankets and linens for the sofa bed are in the ottoman.

The kitchen is stocked with all the items you need to spend a weekend or a couple of months. Brand new stainless steel appliances include a built-in microwave, glass top electric stove/oven and large refrigerator with freezer on top. There`s no shortage of updates here!!

A 2 person breakfast bar, along with a 4 person, round dining table, will give you more than enough seating for dining in.

The bedroom is just down the hall with a comfortable queen bed, large night stands, luggage racks and closet. The full ensuite has a single sink, toilet and tub shower combo.

There is a half bath in the hall.


Outside you will find a brand new deck enclosed by almost invisible screen. With comfortable seating for 4, this is great place to sit back and enjoy a cold beverage at the end of the day. Outback there is a gas grill and fire table, we provide the presto logs and ask that those are the only things burned.

Other amenities to note are a stacking washer and dryer, additional closet for storage, vacuum, standing fan, extra pillows and blankets, games, fee WiFi and ceiling fan.

Come on out and give the Beach Shack a try, we think you`ll love it!

No tables on the porch so having coffee and watching the sun come up means holding the cup the whole time or placing it on the floor, I would suggest the host consider two small tables for the screened in porch on the upper deck. There was a sticky spot just beyond the rug on the inside of the front door at check in but we cleaned it up and for us that was no big deal also there were a few sticky beverages probably coffee stains on the kitchen countertop between the refrigerator and sink that we had to wipe up as well but to be fair I would have had not seen it if I had not put my hand on it due to the color and design of the countertop. The toilet in the main bathroom does not flush properly. So, pee only in that one. We enjoyed the place over all but feel that these very minor issues need addressed. I would recommend the Beach House and Plan to use it again in the future.

If your looking for a place to just get away and relax Cedar Key is that place. Everything is within walking distance. The 2nd st cafe and Steamers restuarant had great food and service. The Beach Shack was very clean and had everything you need for a relaxing stay. The host responded to all questions/ concerns immediately.
