Vacation Rentals By Owner In Cedar Key, FL

The Flounder Inn is a secluded Gulf-side, waterfront location with beautiful sunset views and a private dock. Charmingly rustic, this family cabin sleeps eight people comfortably. Pine wood floors, cypress walls, and high ceilings welcome visitors to this warm and inviting vacation home. An open plan with plenty of seating with all the necessities including a wood stove (firewood can be purchased locally), rounds out this unique and cozy cabin by the sea. Explore the gulf with our 3 complementary kayaks. brbrFlounder Inn is located on the far northwestern edge of the island of Cedar Key, Florida, on a private, peaceful lot just 2.5 miles from downtown.brbrFlounder Inn offers a king size bed in the master bedroom located on the main floor along with a full bath and queen size sleeper sofa. Upstairs are two guest rooms and a half bath. One room has two twin beds and the other has a queen size bed. There is also a large wire pet kennel, and dog bed, bowls and toys for your furry friend. You’ll find Dish Network TV; plenty of games and puzzles and at your front door awaits a world to enjoy. The dock located on a short canal leading to the open Gulf is perfect for kayaking (3 kayaks are available for your use), crabbing, fishing, bird-watching, and cast netting for mullet. At high tide you`ll see and hear mullet jump from the water as the osprey and cranes hunt in the canal. Ocean tides, constantly in motion, are nowhere more obvious than at Flounder Inn. From high tide to low and every stage in between, the scene is always changing. Flounder Inn has a screened porch and an open deck, overlooking the water with a western view of the open Gulf and those colorful sunsets.brThe cabin itself is like a photo page torn from an old magazine. It`s a family history, a novel written over time. The characters in the story are family members and friends who, over the years, built Flounder Inn with their own hands; bringing materials from their homes in Gainesville working all weekend and then doing it all again the next weekend until completed. Flounder Inn has changed little over the years except for the obvious modern additions of central heat and air, cell-service booster, and a smart TV with Dish network satellite hook-up. Be prepared to use your own data plan, as Flounder Inn has no Wi-Fi. Who knows, you may find your group enjoying a little less `screen time` and a little more `island time`. The maritime environment surrounding Flounder Inn and Cedar Key is a treasure map of things to see, do, and learn. The water, the tides, the mud flats, museums, Indian Mounds, abundant sea life, and sand bars are all waiting for your discovery. With signed releases, there are kayaks available for your use. Launch directly from the dock using the Kaya-arm for stability.brParking at Flounder Inn is adequate, two cars may park under the cabin, and three will fit in the yard. If you are bringing a boat, please understand, there is limited space for boat parking and maneuvering. It is not advisable to bring large boats and trailers, due to the space and configuration of the parking area.brBE ADVISED: Parking is on Flounder Inn property only; there is NO overflow parking available.brChoose Flounder Inn for your next visit to Cedar Key. Launch your boat at the city marina or at Shell Mound Park and bring it around to the Flounder Inn dock. Be aware the extreme tidal changes mean there will be times you`ll not be able to take your boat out from the dock or bring it into the dock. When the tides are right, Flounder Inn offers easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and all that it has to offer. Bring your bicycles, rent a golf cart, use the kayaks and enjoy fresh seafood, cool drinks, and live music at local restaurants. Close out the day watching the sun set over the Gulf from the open deck of Flounder Inn. You may feel as though you are floundering in your home life, so BOOK NOW and re-set at a perfect stress relief location...Flounder Inn.br*We have a pack & play available, if you would like to use it during your stay please let us know at least at the time of booking.brbr*If you are visiting the island to boat and/or fish we recommend you check out the NOAA charts. Cedar Key is surrounded by shallow waters and this can make boating/fishing during low and changing tides difficult or impossible depending on where you are and where you want to go. You can search NOAA chart 11408 online to check the water depth and search NOAA tide predictions at Cedar Key FL for tide information.br-Please be respectful of the neighbors and the area you are stayingbr-Do not trespass on other people`s property, this includes docks and drivewaysbr-Please be careful where you park, don`t block people in, use neighbors property, park on the sidewalk or impede trafficbr-Parties and/or events are not allowedbr-No smoking inside or within 10 feet of doors or windows $250 fine if the property smells of smokebr-Unauthorized pets will result in a $250 fine for each animalbr-$150/person/day fee for over occupancy limitbr-Please don’t eat or drink anything besides water in the bedroombr-Quiet hours 10 pm to 7 am per local Noise Ordinancebr-Please respect the check-in and check-out times. $500 for each 4 hours, or portion unauthorized thereof, of early check-in and late checkout.br-Guests are responsible for any damage they cause.

Originally constructed as Parsons and Hale’s General Store, this tabby-walled structure—crafted from oyster shell, limestone, and sand—has withstood hurricanes, floods, and even the Civil War. During the war, Union troops repurposed the building as a barracks and supply warehouse, sparing it from the destruction that leveled much of Cedar Key.brbrFor over 160 years, the Island Hotel has been a cornerstone of the Cedar Key community, with each owner adding their unique touch to its storied legacy. Among the most memorable was Bessie Gibbs, who managed the hotel from 1946 to 1973, transforming it into a vibrant hub for politicians, celebrities, and visitors. The iconic King Neptune Lounge, featuring murals by artist Helen Tooker, continues to be a beloved centerpiece of the hotel.brbrIn 2004, the Bair family took ownership of the property and has since worked to maintain its historic charm and warm hospitality. Today, the Island Hotel offers guests a timeless retreat where they can connect with the rich heritage and allure of `Old Florida.`brbrWHAT TO DO WHILE IN CEDAR KEYbrbr* Cedar Key is the perfect destination for those looking to relax or explore the island’s natural beauty and historic charm. Visitors can:br* Go fishing by charter, pier, or shoreline.br* Birdwatchbr* Hike through Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve or Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge.br* Explore the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge by kayak or canoe.br* Enjoy boating or dolphin tours.br* Stroll through the historic downtown filled with unique shops, art galleries, and local cafes.br* Visit the Cedar Key Historical Museum and the downtown Cedar Key Museum.br* Attend seasonal events like the Cedar Key Arts Festival in April, Tiki Fest in May, Seafood Festival in October, or Pirate Fest in November.brbrCEDAR KEY`S RICH HISTORYbrbrCedar Key is a small island community steeped in history, dating back to its establishment in 1859 as the western terminus of Florida’s first cross-state railroad. This connection to the railway transformed the town into a bustling port and commercial hub. Cedar Key became known for its thriving cedar industry, supplying wood for pencils to markets across the country. The island’s name comes from the abundance of cedar trees that once covered the region, although few remain today.brbrIn 1896, Cedar Key was hit by a devastating hurricane that destroyed much of the town, leading residents to relocate the community to its current site. Despite this setback, Cedar Key endured, reinventing itself as a quiet fishing village and later as a tourist destination. The town’s untouched natural beauty, rich artistic culture, and historic charm make it a favorite getaway for those looking to experience the slower pace and timeless atmosphere of `Old Florida.` Visitors can still see remnants of its past, from the railroad trestles to the historic buildings that line its streets, offering a glimpse into a time when Cedar Key was at the center of Florida’s development.brbrNOTESbrbr* No pets pleasebr* Smoking outside onlybr* Restaurant, bar and/or patio can be rented for private events associated with the reservationbr* Free street parkingbr* Pack and Play available upon request prior to arrivalbr* Hair dryers available at front deskbr-Please be respectful of the neighbors and the area you are stayingbr- No smoking inside or within 10 feet of doors or windows $250 fine if the property smells of smokebr- Unauthorized pets will result in a $250 fine for each animalbr- $150/person/day fee for over occupancy limitbr- Quiet hours 9 pm to 7 ambr- Please respect the check-in and check-out times. br- Guests are responsible for any damage they cause.

This connection to the railway transformed the town into a bustling port and commercial hub. Cedar Key became known for its thriving cedar industry, supplying wood for pencils to markets across the country. The island’s name comes from the abundance of cedar trees that once covered the region, although few remain today.brbrIn 1896, Cedar Key was hit by a devastating hurricane that destroyed much of the town, leading residents to relocate the community to its current site. Despite this setback, Cedar Key endured, reinventing itself as a quiet fishing village and later as a tourist destination. The town’s untouched natural beauty, rich artistic culture, and historic charm make it a favorite getaway for those looking to experience the slower pace and timeless atmosphere of `Old Florida.` Visitors can still see remnants of its past, from the railroad trestles to the historic buildings that line its streets, offering a glimpse into a time when Cedar Key was at the center of Florida’s development.brbrNOTESbrbr* No pets pleasebr* Smoking outside onlybr* Restaurant, bar and/or patio can be rented for private events associated with the reservationbr* Free street parkingbr* Pack and Play available upon request prior to arrivalbr* Hair dryers available at front deskbr-Please be respectful of the neighbors and the area you are stayingbr- No smoking inside or within 10 feet of doors or windows $250 fine if the property smells of smokebr- Unauthorized pets will result in a $250 fine for each animalbr- $150/person/day fee for over occupancy limitbr- Quiet hours 9 pm to 7 ambr- Please respect the check-in and check-out times. br- Guests are responsible for any damage they cause.

Cedar Key became known for its thriving cedar industry, supplying wood for pencils to markets across the country.
