My boyfriend wanted to plan a quick getaway for us, and chose the Cedar Key Bed and Breakfast. We…read morelive in South Florida, so it wasn't a bad drive to feel like we stepped back in time 50 years. And better yet, they are dog friendly, so our baby could come with us. I had never been to Cedar Key, and was very excited. Pulling up to the B&B was a little magical. It was painted in pretty pastels, and we parked in front of their beautiful fenced in yard. It had majestic trees, and such an incredible, inviting vibe. Our room, Ms. Ida"s room, was beautifully decorated and inviting. It was large enough for our dog's large crate without making us feel cramped. The bathroom even had a beautiful claw footed tub. It was centrally located so we basically walked everywhere without issue. The Gulf of America was right there, and we really enjoyed watching the pods of dolphins frolick each night. The breakfast was delicious! We had a "Zippy", sausage and homemade biscuits. The Zippy was like a little southwestern quiche. Best of all were the people running this B&B. Heather and Cindi couldn't have made us feel more welcome, important, and frankly, loved! They were so kind and engaging, and totally doted on my dog. (Even made him his own scrambled eggs with cheese!) I had never been to Cedar Key, but I will definitely be back and will stay here again! Check it out!

Nestled right in the neighborhood on a corner on 3rd St, I parked my car when I arrived in town and…read moreit never moved until I was leaving town... I walked everywhere! Dock Street and all... but I really didn't even need to leave. It was very peaceful and relaxing and exactly what I was looking for. This BnB has it all. Charm, wonderful homemade breakfasts, friendly staff, great rooms... mine was on the 2nd floor and had its own private large balcony, accessible from the only other door up the stairs, next to the door to my room. The grounds were beautiful. I spent a good amount of time there. For just coffee, then breakfast, just before sunset in the afternoons... even just overlooking the grounds from the back porch. I walked around and looked at the different kinds of flowers... Alice pretty much does most of the landscaping. I spoke with Alice a good bit while enjoying breakfast in the garden one morning... very sweet and friendly, she truly loves the property and cares about her guests. It was my birthday weekend and my cousin and aunt contacted the BnB and spoke with Amanda. Amanda is who greeted me when I first arrived. She wished me a happy birthday and it took me some time before I figured out how she knew that. LOL When she showed me my room, I only asked about shampoo, she said because my hair was long, she guessed a 2 in 1 type of shampoo wouldn't suffice and I said, if it's something like Pantene, it would! After I returned from my afternoon out and about, there was a bottle of Pantene sitting on the decorate table outside my room. I'm not sure that it was readily available or if she actually went and bought it...but I was certainly appreciative and used it immediately. The next morning, after she read my notes on food issues (no chocolate, no almonds....) she had to ask me at breakfast what I couldn't eat again because my aunt and cousin requested gluten and dairy free, chocolate brownies to surprise me! I can and do eat gluten and dairy...but no chocolate. Amanda had in fact found gluten and dairy free brownies! They would have been wonderful...if I could eat them. Instead, she went out of her way once again and found me a vanilla cake on the fly... dressed it with hibiscus flowers and candles. She was very sweet and we talked for a while as well. Goes to show you how much they enjoy and appreciate what they do and the people they do it for. I enjoyed staying at this BnB, it encompasses old Florida and the local culture and I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here for five days in January. We had specifically came out to visit other RV'ers who…read morewere staying and recommended it. We really enjoyed our time in Cedar Key and this RV campground had some good and some bad. The RV campground is older and its layout was probably carved by organic growth, rather than pre-planned out. Driving our 36' RV around the RV campground was difficult and for the first time ever, I had to ask someone to move their car so I could park in the spot. The flip side is everyone is very friendly, they have an onsite restaurant, and oh yeah... beautiful waterfront sunset views. The family would head to a dock and enjoy some time watching the sun go down every day. During the morning dog walk, I would stop to enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds the RV campground. This RV park had water, sewer, electric and cable hookups. There was a laundry room, which was clean and had some newer machines. The WiFi was good but not always reliable. I was disappointed to find there was no playground nor dedicated dog walk. When we did leave, I found it hard to leave. The town and the RV campground were very laid back. I never once felt stressed out during my stay, since Cedar Key is at the end of the road there was no road traffic or noise. Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? We are debating returning to Cedar Key in a month, but we will absolutely come back. Informational: We travel in a 36' Class A RV.

What a great place to stay when visiting Cedar Key! I wish I had thought to take pictures when we…read morearrived but we were so caught up chatting with the best owners and exploring the property. There's plenty of outdoor seating, spots to have a fire and even bicycles you can rent during your stay. We stayed in the Firefly cottage that has an unobstructed view of the water from its private back porch. Every morning we received freshly ground coffee and enjoyed it on the porch watching the jumping trout and pelicans. It was really relaxing and serene. The cottage itself had everything you'd need and was super clean. Cute little kitchen area, fully stocked with plates and utensils. Bathroom with plenty of towels, toiletries and places to hang your bags. There's also a living room area with tv and queen sized bed. The cottage is so cozy and decorated with the coolest art and books. The best part are the hosts/owners. Ian and Darrin were so warm and welcoming. You can tell they love what they do. They know all the best spots in town too! The cottages are also only a 15 minute walk to town. We walked everywhere when we were there which was good considering all the tasty diner food we had.

Nice little "old school' motel with exterior balcony and stairs. Rooms were clean, beds were ok,…read moreplenty of hot water. Older motel with some older fixtures. Porches on either end of the building upstairs are nice for hanging out. One porch overlooking 2nd Street, and the other facing towards Dock Street and the Gulf. No coffee in the rooms, but fresh coffee and Bloody Mary's can be had right next door at the 2nd Street Cafe. I found the proprietors of the motel to be very nice and we enjoyed our stay. Now, for the folks that are really picky, this ain't the Ritz, Baby! If you need pampering and tend to complain about everything, you should avoid Cedar Key entirely. If this is you, then do us all a favor and go someplace else. On the other hand, if you like "old Florida" and dig a laid back, fishing village, island vibe, visit and enjoy. You're welcome, Debbie.

From the front porch (great street views), the back porch (water view), or sitting outside your room (both views) it is a slow and refreshing time.

Stayed there for 2 nights recently. Cedar Key is a quaint place, and once you've discovered it you…read morewant it to stay that way. Good folks there, And also a good birding area for those interested. This little motel has an awesome location, if your perception of "walking distance' is 'not more than 200 yards' then you've found the right place. Shops, fishing pier, bars, restaurants, beach, boat tours and more... it's a good spot to leave the car alone for a couple days! My room was clean and very spacious, with a waterview. Don't expect a chain hotel fancy design room, but as others stated already....there's a lot of stuff to do outside the room! Perfect place for laid-back people looking for a budget short stay with unbeatable value. The bedding was good. Rate was 60-ish a night. Your man in charge is friendly and makes things easy. Relax, you have arrived.

Dockside Motel is now called Salinity Hotel. A two-night late-April 2026 stay was not all that I…read morehad hoped for. There are pluses: Room #12 did not face the street so it was reasonably quiet, the room was refurbished after Hurricane Helene in Sept 2024 and all is fairly new, the king bed is nicely supportive, coffee maker/ refridge/ microwave all work, WiFi also works outside on the deck. More pluses: closest hotel to the fishing pier, right out the door to the Dock Street restaurants, tee shirt shops, ice cream joint and wine bar. Very easy walking distance to all the 2nd Street restaurants, bars and artist shops. My complaints: lack of security and insufficient storage space. The hotel door is secured from the outside by way of an electronic push button lock. A four digit code opens it. The codes are changed (I'm told, but can't verify) with each new rental but there is no inside double lock!! No way on the inside to keep someone with a master code from entering the room while you are inside! No typical hotel mechanical inside system. Too late for my reservation but the next (potential) guest should check before booking. Made me apprehensive both nights. Room #12 is at street and deck level and has good handicap accessibility but this was a feature I didn't need. Room has a very large bathroom, at least 6' wide and 15' long with a wheelchair roll-in shower. Nice! But bathroom had 6' between the tiny wall mounted sink and the shower and only a really small cabinet (top surface only 12" by 24") that left almost no room for toiletries, pills and other misc travel items. The bedroom, while spacious (12' by 15') had the same lack of raised storage. We found the single standard folding luggage rack and put the larger of two suitcases on it. Fou the second suitcase, choices were: the small 36" round table, leave it open on the floor or return it to the car. The small 12" by 15" valet was almost worthless. I'm sad the people that run the hotel never tried to travel with luggage to the hotel. I've given the Salinity Hotel THREE STARS.

This place rocks! We stayed here during the Cedar Key Arts Festival in Condo #102. This condo was…read more"homey and whimsical, bright and beachy" just as advertised! There were five adults and one teenager and plenty of space to roam around without feeling cramped at all. This second floor end unit has a large wrap around deck with comfortable Adirondack chairs to enjoy the show, birds fighting for a spot at the dock, dolphins scooping up mullet close to shore and the beautiful sunset on the water. The balcony is HUGE and a favorite hangout. Overall, the location is perfect with a hot tub and pool on the first level for day or night time swimming. The best part is the building is right on the water with a well maintained dock to hang out at with your own private waterfront oasis. Would I go back? In a second... FYI: No Smoking, No Pets. Sleeps 4, queen bed in both master and guest suites + queen air mattress for extra guests. Maximum of 6 including children. You really can't beat this place!

Comfortable, affordable and a great location. We took an impromptu Saturday trip up to Cedar Key…read more Our plan was to just spend the afternoon and go home in the evening. When we got to town we knew we had to stay. We were extremely lucky to find that Seahorse had a vacancy. We literally got the last room. These condos are directly on the water. Two night minimum but I asked if we could pay extra for one night since it was approx 2pm in the afternoon. I can't believe they let us but we are so glad they did. I don't recommend waiting to the last minute as the town was bustling and everywhere we called was booked. Two bedroom, two bath with a full kitchen and amazing view. The pool was out of commission and unfortunately the hot tub was not so hot. With that being said I will absolutely look into booking this location again in the future.

We just absolutely loved our stay here…read more Reserved a 3 bedroom 3 bath house with a private dock directly on the river. Arrived around 8 at night and needless to say it's quite dark on these parts but the caretakers left the house brightly lit so we could easily pick it out. The house itself was gorgrous! A huge chefs kitchen...2 bedrooms and 2 baths downstairs. The mater suite was upstairs and to die for. Separate living room..big comfy bed...a western style soaking tub..water closet..and french doors the opened to the balcony over looking the river. There was a huge dining table inside as well as a table om the deck overlooking the river where u could eat as well. The kitchen had every utensil..pot or pan that you'd ever need. We Even Got To Use The fireplace as a cold front came through dropping it down to 50 before it quickly passed and went up to 80 One of the cabins is known for Jimmy carter staying there. They have a petting zoo which was fun at first but after a few minutes you could tell it isn't high on their priority list which bothered me a bit. There is also a small chapel amd really large cabin for receptions or reunions. Our rental was $650 plus taxes etc. Well worth every penny. There were a few cute local restaurants nearby we enjoyed as well directly on the river. It really is a very nice area!

I will go ahead and start this review off by letting you know that this is not a Hilton nor…read moreanything close. But what it is is a perfect place to stay during scalloping season. Our room was clean and got the job done for only $135 that included two twin bed's, a queen bed, a refrigerator, microwave, a small bathroom, and a boat slip in their marina which is a huge win in my book. They also have a store located in the motel office that sells just about everything you would need for a fishing/scalloping trip including a small selection of alcohol. At the marina they sell fuel and ice and also have some super nice people who will clean your scallops for eight dollars a pound which is well worth it in my book. They also rent boats at the marina. Attached to the motel is the who dat bar and grill which puts out the best seafood in the city hands down. I will forewarn you that if you are coming to Steinhatchee to go scalloping, go to your local grocery store to stock up on drinks, alcohol, snacks, and breakfast items bc there is only one grocery store in the town which is pretty much sold out of everything. I also would like to warn you that there is no service in this entire town. So make sure that you let everyone know this before heading on your vacation so your friends and family don't think you're dead. Happy scalloping!
