We showed up at this "hotel" (and I use that term loosely) and checked in. After looking at the owners residence we realized we were in for a real treat. Our cabin was the pits. The bathroom door was made out of a board and didn't close/lock all the way. The front door was questionable. The place is OLD and... More

We came to Cedar Key on a recommendation from the owner of the Chassahowitzka hotel where we stayed the previous night. We had no booking for accommodation in Cedar key so just looked around until we saw somewhere we liked that was in our budget. Having seen no reviews we came as 'walk ins'. We both got a good feeling... More

I can truly appreciate 'old Florida'...however, there is a reason that this establishment had vacancys when the rest of the island was booked solid. It's a Dump. We stayed in cabin #3 for 3 nights, if there was another place to go we would have. There is no housekeeping...you have to beg for clean towels, toilet paper, etc....provided by a... More

I usually dont write reviews for anything - let people make up their own mind about things, however I feel like I need to step in on this one. My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights in this wonderful little homestay. I liked everything about the place, the ragged cat who shared our porch with us, the beautiful gardens,... More

Stayed in itty bitty number 6 for 54 bucks and it was fine. My wife and I spent 3 nights and while it was a small space we knew that going in and the location is great. They're old Florida cottages so if you're looking for the Waldorf you may want to look elsewhere.

We stay in Cedar Key frequently and love the quaint oldness that Cedar Key brings, however first time staying in Mermaid Cabins, First owner was not very pleasant, rooms were not very clean, sink stopped up the entire stay, TV did not work and worst of all the entire place smelled like raw sewer. Our room had sewer gas so... More

right on a small bay that is so shallow you see the mud at low tide come for the feel of old FL ( I was born in FL so know what it was like in the 60's) comfortable clean cabins with kitchen and if you get cabin 4 a porch over the water - not fancy but so relaxing... More

I've stayed here several times and have had a great time, whether by myself or with friends! It's much quieter and more reasonable than anywhere downtown. The "quaintness" makes them unique. Although they've got lots of age, that's what Cedar Key is all about. If you want to be on the water, close enough to walk to town, and don't... More

maybe the owners think a pet friendly operation isnt worth rehabbing....but these cabins need to be stripped to the frame and totally rebuilt. They have a cement foundation so it could be done. They are completely wasted ,rotten wood, air gaps,exposed wiring, absurd work quality in regards to patching grout,window caulk,etc. Whoever is doing the structural patching is flat out... More
