About this property

Charming Downtown Island Cottage close to City Park Beach. Sleeps four.

Welcome to The Allen Faircloth house, your perfect vacation rental home on First Street in the historical section of Cedar Key, Florida. This beautifully restored two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, built circa 1921, features high ceilings, beadboard walls, and original wood plank floors. The cottage can accommodate a maximum of four guests and offers free Wi-Fi and satellite TV. All linens are provided, and the kitchen is fully equipped for all your cooking needs.

The Allen Faircloth house is located in the heart of the village, making it easy to walk to all the restaurants, gift shops, city park beach, marina, and churches. Whether you're looking for a delicious seafood dinner or a day at the beach, everything is just steps away. You'll also be able to enjoy the charming atmosphere of Cedar Key, with its ancient live oaks and beautiful sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico.

The cottage has two porches, both with comfortable seating. The front porch overlooks First Street and its ancient live oaks, making it the perfect spot to relax and people-watch. The back porch is private and has a charcoal grill, making it perfect for outdoor dining or enjoying a quiet evening.

Parking for two vehicles and one boat trailer is provided, making it easy to bring your own boat and explore the local waterways. Cedar Key is known for its fishing and boating, so don't miss the opportunity to get out on the water and experience the beauty of the area.

In addition to its natural beauty, Cedar Key offers a variety of dining and sightseeing options. For seafood lovers, try Steamers Clam Bar & Grill or The Island Hotel & Restaurant. For breakfast, head to 1842 Daily Grind & Mercantile or the 2nd St Cafe for a delicious cup of coffee and a pastry. If you're looking for a cocktail look no further than Bonish Studio just down the street.

Always make time to go down and see the ladies at the Welcome Center, there you will find information on local industry, history and businesses in the area.

Come and experience the charm of Cedar Key at The Allen Faircloth House. With its beautiful restoration, convenient location, and comfortable amenities, you'll feel right at home in this historic cottage.

Allen Faircloth House
Quaint cottage in an interesting neighborhood. The interior very clean and well stocked. Outside of cottage needs some cleaning … mossy and some mold, esp on back deck. Windows hard to see out of due to film and grill not operable. Broken furniture stacked up on back deck. Just sat in front porch and enjoyed people watching!

Cute home with lots of character
We loved the front and back decks, the period furnishings and how cozy it was. Beds were comfy, it had everything we needed. It was an easy and quick walk to Dock Street, Downtown, ate several times at the Prickly Palm right around the corner. Cant wait to come back.
