Pelican Place is a Waterfront Home on Historic First St on the Gulf of Mexico

There is a distinctive feeling one gets when in Cedar Key. A comfortable feeling like wearing old, soft jeans. An attitude that says you are home now you can relax and put up your feet. Is it the salt smell in the air, the sunsets on the Gulf, the sights and smells and sounds of the little village by the sea with its eateries and its shops and its bicycles? Or is it the mangroves and low tides and fishy odors on the breeze. It may be one or all of the above. But that feeling is real and it is worth traveling a little farther for. Worth staying on the roadway until it ends on the seashore at Cedar Key.

Pelican Place is located on the Gulf of Mexico in Cedar Key Florida, an island village approximately three miles from the mainland.

This house overlooks the gulf with islands and gulf waters extending out as far as one can see. The two bedroom, two bath home with porches and balconies on two sides affords panoramic water views. From the cozy waterfront sun room to the open deck there is no shortage of inspiring views.

Once inside the home the open and light filled great room continues to bring the outside in with views of the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you are in the living room, the dining area, the kitchen or the master bedroom the sparkling water of the gulf are never more than a glance away at Pelican Place.

Bring your bicycles for when you are ready to explore all the byways and nooks and crannies of the island head any 2 miles in any direction and you have seen the entire island. The breeze in your face, the "hellos" and "howdys" from other happy visitors and locals alike will cause you to ask yourself "how was I ever so lucky and blessed to find Pelican Place and Cedar Key?"

Launch the kayaks (2 provided) and paddle across the bay for a memorable experience. Make sure you have a firm knowledge of the Cedar Key tides. Always paddle out on an incoming tide and paddle back before it turns again. Anyway the kayaks are here for your enjoyment.

The small pier at Pelican Place is located on the water directly in front of the house. This dock is excellent for fishing.

Pelican Place house comes fully furnished and well equipped. It is clean and neat and goes above and beyond even the McCormick Management Co. standards. The Kitchen is stocked well with all one needs for cooking and serving and dining in. The bedrooms are tastefully done and all your linens are supplied. There is a King bed in the master bedroom and a king bed in the guest. There is a tv in the guest bedroom but not the master. Both bathrooms have walk in showers, single sinks and toilet.

The living room is spacious and comfortable with seating for six and a wide screen smart tv. The dining area is great for conversation and dinner and games.

The waterside deck is fantastic for catching the gulf breeze and the Florida sun. The front porch has two comfortable swings with springs and cushions

Fishing is abundant here whether it is fishing from a bridge or a pier on inshore fishing or off shore fishing there is no shortage of ways to catch fish. You can even fish from your back yard!.

Pelican Place was the perfect location! Within walking distance of everything. We parked our car and didn't get in until we left for home. The house was well appointed. The decor was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed! The property managers were responsive and easy to reach. We will definitely return!

Great Location on the Water

Great location on the water! Comfortable and clean. Beds were comfortable. Back enclosed room has a great view of the water. Watched the boats come and go and the dolphins play in the water every day. Easy check in/out process. Ample supplies. Easy to get around the island. Walkable to the downtown area.

Happiness at Pelican Place

We've stayed at Cedar Key a number of times but we've decided that Pelican Place is by far our favourite place to stay here. We loved being able to walk out onto the patio and gather around that photo-perfect circle of colourful chairs right on the water to watch the sunsets. The decor is just perfect for a charming hideaway by the sea. We also really loved being able to walk to all the pubs and restaurants and shops on the pier and along the main street. We will definitely come back again to Cedar Key and Pelican Place.

Wonderful Beach Cottage

Wonderful beach cottage. 4 of us (2 couples) come to CK twice a year to fish and have now found the perfect place to stay. Beautifully decorated, very clean, well stocked with all necessary amenities and the perfect spot to just relax and enjoy the gorgeous Cedar Key sunrises/sunsets. We are already looking forward to returning in April 24. Loved it!

Short get away

This is a cute charming home by the gulf that has everything you need to enjoy while your away from home. Fish right out the back door, kayak over to a smaller deserted island, grab a golf chart and explore more of the island, visit little shops and enjoy a nice cold beer and fish sandwich. Even a short two day trip can get you back to your relaxed state of mind in this beautiful home where the decor is on point for the location. We hope to be back shortly and stay longer.

Peaceful Visit with Excellent Views

My wife and I had an excellent stay. Everything was as described. The views were excellent and the cottage was positioned a block from downtown so no driving was required all week. Very short paddle to some great fishing and beach combing. We hope to return in the futuer! Jeremy

Sweet views

We really enjoyed our stay at the mermaid cottage. With comfortable beds and plenty of space to move around, my friend, and I were very pleased. The two bathrooms were nicely appointed and clean. The views around the fire pit are stunning. We got sunrise and the effects of sunset around the corner. We would definitely be back.

Fantastic

This was our first visit to Cedar Key and we weren’t sure where to stay. This was the perfect location on the island. I can’t imagine a better location or view on the island. The property was perfect. It was well decorated, clean and kept up plus the sunroom has an amazing view. I would highly recommend staying here.
