Enjoyed our stay, highly recommend staying at the Fishtail Lodge. If you need a golf cart rental get that from Bobby Sea, local neighbor, he will hook you up. Great neighborhood, and friendly neighbors. Can't wait to stay here again, so peaceful with breath taking views.

We have visited Cedar Key for the pass 25 years. There are many great places to stay in Cedar Key, but this was by far the best rental . The accommodation, the cleanliness and the host quick response, one could not ask for more of a rental place.

Beautiful home, the best view, and so much space inside and outside. We enjoyed playing corn hole out back and sitting on the porch. If you like to cook, the kitchen is nice and big. This is our second time staying at this property.

Beautiful property. Wonderful hosts. Every detail was taken care of. They even had jackets in the closet for us to use in case the weather got cold! Host was very polite and helpful with great attention to detail. I would recommend this host and this property to anyone wanting to have a good time without any hassles.

Fish Tale Lodge is the perfect home for family with its 4 bedrooms- can sleep 9 with the two comfy cots. And if you are a boater/fisherman the dock can accommodate most boats- just watch the tides - at low tide the boat is likely sitting on that wonderful Cedar Key mud.

This particular view I think is the best on the entire island. We get amazing sunsets as well as the occasional dolphins hurding mullet right in front of the house. That display was featured on a BBC program years ago and filmed in Cedar Key before they even knew dolphins did that. Cedar Key is legendary.

The prior owner was a gourmet cook and the custom kitchen reflects that. Its also an open floor plan so the whole family can contribute to the meal preparation while enjoying the view.
