What's the maximum group size that can stay at the beach house?

The beach house sleeps up to 4 adults. You can squeeze in one (small) child as well.

How many bedrooms and bathrooms?

2 of each. Both are furnished with king-sized beds.

Is the beach house air conditioned?

Yes. Plus, there are plenty of ceiling fans. You'll be cool.

What about heat?

Central heat is provided. There's a fireplace too, although firewood's scarce.

Are linens provided?

Fresh, clean linens are provided. Just show up and be ready to relax.

Can you swim on the property?

The shoreline adjacent to Cedar Key Haven is not your traditional sandy beach; in fact, it is covered with tall grass. As is true of most of the island, there are also oyster beds along the shore which do not make it conducive to wading and swimming. There are two public beaches within about two miles of the house which do have sandy beaches that are good for swimming.

Can we dock our boat on the property?

Unfortunately, during low tide the water is too shallow to accommodate a boat. There is a public boat ramp within two miles of the house and there is plenty of room to park a trailer in the large, fenced yard, however.

Exactly where is the beach house located?

It's right beside the runway at the Cedar Key (George T. Lewis) airport. The runway's on one side, the Gulf of Mexico is on the other!

Isn't the airport noisy?

No. If you never saw the runway, you might not even realize the beach house was located adjacent to an airport. Due to the airport's size (very small) and lack of facilities such as fuel, winged visitors are infrequent.

Can we get supplies and groceries nearby?

Yes. Convenience and grocery stores are within two miles of the beach house.

May we bring pets to the beach house?

Yes, we allow certain pets. Inquire for details.

Is this a smoke-free beach house?
