    The cottage is very nice and well equipped with everything you might need. Had two issues. On the first night I attempted to take a shower and thee was no hot water. Luckily I have a strong electrical background and was able to find the tankless heater had tripped and I was able to reset it. The second issue is the sloping floor. I am handicapped and have to use a cane and the floor caused some issues with me walking through the cottage.

    My BFF and I just stayed in Helen's Cottage for two nights and we had a wonderful time. The location near everything is perfect! It's so cozy and comfortable and we loved the decor. It was like staying in a friend's home. Beds were comfy and there were lots of towels and blankets and pillows. We will definitely be back again soon!

    Nice house, comfortable, clean, had everything we needed. Great location, it was a quick walk to just about anywhere worth seeing. We rented a golf cart for a day, they even delivered and picked it up, and had a great time buzzing around town and visiting all the little shops. My only complaint is some noisy neighbors, the guy across the street was playing really loud music most of the time, and the condo area behind the house must have had some kind of big biker party, they went all night long, but other than that, it was a great trip. I recommend staying here to see the sights.

    Very clean, nicely decorated. The floor does slop a little, and the master bath room you will need to adjust the showerhead toward the inner wall, so it doesnt leak onto the floor. Beds were comfortable enough. The courtyard was very relaxing and my favorite part of the house. Town is back up with the exception of the grocery store, Duncans, and the island restaurant. Steamers is back open andvthe dock outside has new everything, and the staircase is all new. Had a really good time as always in this laid back town. A drinking town with a fishing problem

    My husband was here for work, so of course when I can, I love to go with him and Cedar Key was this trip. We loved the cottage, like a home away from home, so nice! We will definitely love to stay again in any future trips, work or play.
