About the host
Hosted by Mendy Allen
We live here, work here and fish here! We are local Realtors® who decided to resurrect the derelict buildings on 2nd St before they fell down. Our first building is complete and now we are on the 2nd building (of 6!) We love Cedar Key and want others to come and see how island living can be historic and still support modern amenities at the same time. We aren't far away if you need anything at all.
Why they chose this property
Vacant for 15 years, this is now a home that others can come and enjoy small town livings even if just for a couple nights!
What makes this property unique
This building is from 1872 and we have worked to restore it and yet provide modern amenities. It's right in the heart of downtown so you won't need a car unless you are venturing away from the island. The porch is magnificent and a great way to unwind! Boat/trailer parking included for our guests!
