Hello Joyce, thank you so much for the 5 star review. We loved hosting you for your stay at Turtle Cove. It's a great home that is close to everything and accommodates many guests. We are so glad you enjoyed this home for your family and we hope to see you again in the future! Thank you for choosing to stay with Pelican Vacation Home!
The house was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We really enjoyed the screen porch. The proximity to the downtown area allowed us to enjoy the golf cart parade, tree lighting, and we even got in some Black Friday shopping with the locals.

Hi Melissa, thank you so much for the awesome review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Turtle Cove and we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the screen porch! It was such a pleasure hosting you and we would love to welcome you back. We appreciate you choosing to stay with Pelican Vacation Home and we hope to see you again in the future!
This house was just right for our stay in Cedar Key. We love the location, the back porch, and comfort of the Turtle Cove Home. We'll definitely have this house in mind next time we visit Cedar Key!
Perfect location for walking to eat downtown. Good parking for the boat and quick access to the ramp. For us an 11 am checkout would be more enjoyable after a long day of diving on Saturday and the recovery and cleaning activities.
We loved our stay in Cedar Key at this house. There were 10 of us and we had plenty of room for everyone. It was very nice and convenient walking distance to the beach and downtown. The house had everything we needed for our stay.

Our Yearly Spring Family Getaway
Turtle Cove is perfect for a larger groups. The kitchen is well stocked with pans and dishes. Washer and dryer a plus. Outdoor entertainment areas. Great hospitality from the host! Comfortable and relaxing. A wonderful house to create family memories. Hopefully, we will be able to return next year!
The location was great. We go every year to fish on Labor Day weekend. There’s plenty of room for our boat park parking. It was dog friendly fit my whole family. It was next to everything. We will be going back.
The house has recently been remodeled and is beautiful inside and out. The location is awesome as it is located just steps from the beach. It is very close to Gainesville and is perfect for going to a Gators game. Some of the businesses in Cedar Key are still recovering from the Hurricanes. But there are still great places open for business downtown. This is a must-stay location.
We took my in-laws to CK (they live in Indiana) and we had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. They can't get around too much in the heat so the house was perfect for them to enjoy as well. The huge back porch is our favorite part of the house. The kitchen is stocked to the max with any cooking you want to do, and the house itself is just beautiful. You won't be disappointed if you stay at Turtle Cove.
The house matched the description perfectly.
Clean, well maintained and much starter items that saved trips to far away shops. Take every supply to Cedar Key
Would use again
Communication was amazing with Mindy
House was the Perfect size for our Family to gather on Christmas and open gifts. The rear screen Porch was a Big Hit! Plenty of Comfortable Furniture for everyone to sit, relax and enjoy Family time! Fabulous Hosts!! Went above and beyond for us.
A real gem. Book early. Everything was perfect here. Roomy and great BBQ. HUGE OUTDOOR PATIO . Comfortable beds. Managment stays in touch and I’ll be back for my 4th time next year

We have lived here on the island for over twenty years and are proud to be part of our community. We operate Southern Cross Sea Farms (fresh clams daily!), Salt Marsh Cottage, Main Street Mercantile, Salty C’s Seafood Market and Pelican Realty. We are also developing the derelict buildings downtown for new retail and rental space. We are invested here and look forward to showing you what Cedar Key is all about!
Why they chose this property
We wanted to provide a quality home for families, because traveling with ours is our favorite thing to do!
What makes this property unique
No one downtown has parking like we do! 2-3 Trucks/Trailers plus other vehicles can fit here. More than one family can stay and it's walking distance to everything. It's super clean and not super fancy but super comfortable! You'll enjoy your stay.
