Perfect Stay

Very clean and inviting. Location could not have been better. Just steps to the water and dining. Everything that we needed was there (washer, dryer, hair dryer). Super cozy and fun to stay at with all the creative decorations. Decent size house and just perfect for two people. I would highly recommend it.

Location, location, location, and an amazing home too.

Cedar Key is a vacation spot we keep coming back too. The views are amazing, the locals and vacationers are always so friendly, the pace is slow here, it feels like Key West to me, but with room to breath, if that makes sense. We had an amazing stay at The Little House and it was perfect for two people, it has a big living room, a good size kitchen, the queen size bed was comfortable enough for my wife and I, the bathroom and shower might be a little small for some people, but this was 10 times better than any condo we have ever stayed in at Cedar Key. The location was probably our favorite aspect of our stay, you are roughly 100 feet from the golf, you can see it from your front door, you can smell the salty wind coming from it when you step outside, you can walk to one of the most amazing photo spots on the island in 2 minutes, less if you are younger than we are. Thanks so much to our host, we had a great stay.

The most laid-back place I have ever seen.

"The Little House". Very aptly named. Has everything you need...comfy bedroom...well appointed kitchen...dining/game area...living/seating area...and the most compact bathroom ever! And where did we spend our time? On the covered front porch...watching the world go by...listening to the birds in the beautiful live oak tree...with a glass of wine. Easy walking distance to town, restaurants (if you choose the correct time of day...or day of the week)...or walk to Dock Street where it looked as if the tourists hang out. Different vibe on that street. Perfect location. Perfect environment for relaxation. Bring a book. Curl up in the chair on the porch. See for yourself. Cindy and Mike are wonderful hosts. Been on the Island for 40 years. Looks like they made an excellent choice. Thanks so much for sharing your "piece of heaven". Sherry and Ben

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Leiner

Host profile image
My husband and I built little house in 1986 as a rental home. We always loved the tiny house concept and thought it would a good idea to give us some added income. The cottage has a special place in our hearts and we love how comfortable and quaint it feels. We have been in property management for 25 years before we retired in 2005, so we have had a lot of experience making guests relaxed and happy, we think you will find that comfort in little house as well.

Why they chose this property

This property has more character and personality than most rentals you will find here. We are both artists and the cottage has many original works of art along with eclectic pieces of sculpture. It has a lot of charm and attention to detail, that makes this cottage very special.

What makes this property unique

This cottage is on the first floor and convenient to your car for carrying in groceries and luggage. If you are looking for peace and tranquility of small town life and an escape from the daily grind, Little House is just the place for you.
