Loved my stay here. I almost didn’t stay here because of some of the reviews but so glad I did. The view and pool are amazing. While I agree some minor updates to the property would make a big difference, I would gladly stay again!

Great Location, Close to Everything

Room was clean, checkin was easy. The pool was great, the water views from the room and balcony was excellent. Close to all Cedar Key restaurants and attractions. Its’s an older place, if you’re looking for the Four Seasons you’re not going to like it.

The girls checking us in and working around the property were so helpful and friendly. The propery is old Key West style and needs work but the old building has charm and we loved it even though it wasn't perfect. Location is awesome, view is spectacular. Wish I lived here!

It was comfortable, had a beautiful pool and was in a great location. Not on the main strip but a wick walk or drive. It was clear they are in the process of updating some paint and we could have used a few more towels. Overall it was a nice stay and the ladies who run it are great!

Would definitely recommend !!!

We had a great time!! The room was cute and we loved the balcony view. Just what we wanted. Staff was extremely friendly. The only negative thing I could say was the WI-FI. We needed to do a little work and was not able to.. but that did not ruin our stay. We would definitely come back.

I was running very late and they waited up for me. I had called to let them know. This was during spring break. My room was comfortable, and I could walk to everything. Coffee shop, museum, pizza, bars, right on the gulf. The weather was excellent, so I gave them 5 stars.

Room needed a good thorough mopping...understand its pet friendly and a beach motel but easy clean surfaces....its disheartening to have dirty feet from the floors. At the prices we paid per night the bedding and linen could use upgrading. Room with kitchen had minimal supplies...no glassware silverware etc..fortunately brought my own.. Staff (Shelly) were very nice and helpful. Great location
