This super tiny, super quiet sleepy little island town springs to life bright & early each & every day as marina users from all over arrive into town ready to head out to the famous Cedar Key Grouper waters for some stellar fishing Pirate style! Arrrr! It gets very busy here, lots of fishermen, big trucks & boats & trailers & lots of bloody golf carts everywhere so parking can get tight! Watch out! Arrrrr! Get here EARLY to troll the backwaters for Red fish & Trout or head to the clam leases where farmers produce tons of the nation's farm raised clams. The clams are amazing but the fishing is better. Captain Hubbers & I wanted to get in on the action in Cedar Key & boy did we ever. Good times. Arrrr!! Long story short, back to the scene of the crime, this is where hubby jack-knifed moi Range Rover into the boat trailer. Yikes. Bloody old salt caught the big one for sure haha. We just got moi Range Rover fixed & we can't wait to return! Arrrr! Highest Recommendations.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour because it's not a big boat like the others but will fit about 8-10 people. There were 6 including myself on this trip. Matt was super cool and a funny tour guide. He showed us so many of the keys and he knew a lot about the birds and the history of Cedar Key itself. I also appreciated the fact that when he didn't know an answer, he simply admitted that he didn't know--he didn't try to make something up. The tour was $30 and lasted about 1.5 hours. He even took us to see the lighthouse! It was a lot of fun.

BUYER BEWARE - I was looking for a reference for a business that does piling repair and called…read moreDecks and Docks Hudson, FL 17438 US Hwy 19 Unit 5 Hudson, FL 34667 Phone: 727-755-8100 to ask if they knew anyone? I got an enthusiastic referral to Fear No Fish Underwater Marine Services, Springhill Fl (727) 271-0722. I called Fear No Fish Underwater Marine Services and explained that I was looking for repairs to stilts on a stilt home. I figured a piling repair company would be the next best thing. June of 2022 after multiple delays in making the trip to our place to give us an estimate, Nick Herring arrived. We showed him the stilts and explained we wanted to repair rotted pilings. He felt that the snap jackets he used on boat docks was the solution. He gave us an estimate. It was not cheap. However, we liked Nick's candor. We also liked supporting small businesses (especially since Covid had challenged so many) and agreed on the plan to add snap jackets to the pilings. Nick explained that it would take a week or two to do all. We were not in a rush, but eager to get started. I did a search for Fear No Fish reviews and found only listings and no real reviews on Facebook, Google, or Yelp. I asked for their business information and got their Sunbiz.org Limited Liability company information from Krista, his wife, the company CEO. We gave the requested hefty deposit. The next week Nick was to start -- once he got his supplies. The week came and we were told the machine that makes the snap jackets broke down. I was suspicious since I got the referral from Decks and Docks. So, I called Decks and Docks and they said they had supplies. So, I called Nick, and he said the person I was talking to doesn't have all he needs. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. MY MISTAKE. I should have sought a full refund from my credit card company and moved on. However, the property is remote where few hired hands are available and since I'd worked with lots of home improvement contractors over the years for my day job, I understood cash flow challenges and was unusually sympathetic to a small business owner and his family. We wanted this to work. July I was fretting about what to do as we waited for the supplies to come in. Finally in AUGUST Nick had supplies and came with a crew of two and worked a whole week. I was feeling better. I met Krista on one of those trips. I was feeling good about a week's work. We had paid a deposit equal to 10 piling repairs. He had 4 completed that week. Nick asked for an additional infusion of cash to pay his employees that week. I felt that we were moving forward and agreed. I even said jokingly, "I have money in the bank of Nick." I chalked his issues up to procrastination. He was traveling an hour and a half to our place to work. I was understanding. Nick made some observations that week in August 2022 about the differences in the dock piling work and this stilt work. I respected that. I called a friend in construction and asked his opinion. We paused, hired a Structural Engineer. The new plan: repair the remaining pilings including the old rotting concrete with strong ties. Nick wanted to do the work and gave a new estimate. We approved. Repairs were to resume in October. November no work happened. December Nick revealed he ordered the wrong size strong ties. January, we ordered strong ties and got them in 10 days. We cancelled our work with FEAR NO FISH UNDERWATER MARINE SERVICES in January and requested a refund of the monies they were holding. We got some back from our credit card for the infusion of extra cash, but we still have money due and wanted to settle on the balance from the remaining unfinished repairs. As of June 2023, one year from the start of this agreement, we still have not received the balance of the money due us. Fear No Fish is no longer communicating with us. We're reasonable people. We gave every chance for this to work. Please do not make the same mistakes we did.

Our Experience with Palmwood Construction When we began our…read morejourney to find a builder, we encountered countless horror stories about construction companies that made us skeptical and cautious. However, from the very first meeting with the Palmwood Construction staff, we sensed that this company was different. Their approach to understanding and discussing our vision gave us the confidence that we had chosen the right team for our project. The entire Palmwood team provided unwavering support and guidance at every stage. Their designers drew on their expertise to recommend the best design methods for specific elements of our home. We especially appreciated the patience of Chris and Kevin, who worked with us to bring our ideas to life, even as we made numerous changes and upgrades along the way. Exceptional Communication and Teamwork Angie played a pivotal role in keeping us informed about upgrades and providing comprehensive explanations of the contracts, ensuring that we fully comprehended our options. While numerous members of the Palmwood team contributed to our project, Kevin and Angie distinguished themselves through their unwavering dedication and the substantial time they invested in guiding us. We acknowledge that our requests for modifications and upgrades may have posed challenges, particularly for Kevin, but we are exceedingly pleased with the outcomes. Although I am certain that I overlooked some team members, we extend our sincere gratitude to Phillip, Angie, Judy, Linda, Teresa, Chris, and, most importantly, Kevin. Palmwood Construction truly excels at what they do. We are thoroughly impressed by the quality of their work and their keen attention to detail. For anyone searching for a reliable construction company to build their home, we wholeheartedly recommend Palmwood Construction. We are confident that you will not be disappointed. Below, we have included the email that my wife sent to Palmwood to express our gratitude before the completion of our home. Her words capture our appreciation more fully than I ever could, and we hope they convey how satisfied we are with our decision to choose Palmwood as our builder. "Kevin and the whole team have been a blessing to us. I thank God for bringing you guys to us to help us transition into the next phase of our lives. We heard some horror stories about other builders, and we were scared to go on this adventure in the beginning. But you guys have made it as painless as it can possibly be. You made us feel comfortable because we knew we can trust you.. This house will likely be our forever home, and we will appreciate you guys every day we live in it. I pray that Palmwood will continue to grow, prosper and continue to build beautiful solid homes for many more people. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you have a chance, please relay our message to the whole team for us."
