Pelican Place is a Waterfront Home on Historic First St on the Gulf of Mexico

Gulf Views-Boat Parking-King Beds-Fire Pit

Pelican Place sits directly on the Gulf of Mexico in Cedar Key, Florida—an island village located about three miles from the mainland. This beautiful waterfront home offers sweeping views of the Gulf and surrounding islands that stretch as far as the eye can see.

This two-bedroom, two-bath home features porches and balconies on two sides, providing panoramic water views throughout the property. From the cozy waterfront sunroom to the open deck, there is no shortage of stunning scenery.

Inside, the bright and airy great room continues to bring the outdoors in. Whether you`re relaxing in the living room, preparing a meal in the kitchen, dining with friends, or unwinding in the master bedroom, the sparkling waters of the Gulf are always just a glance away.

Bring your bicycles and explore the island’s quiet roads and hidden corners. Cedar Key is small enough that you can ride about two miles in any direction and experience the entire island. Along the way, friendly waves and “hellos” from locals and fellow visitors are part of the charm. You may find yourself wondering how you were lucky enough to discover Pelican Place and Cedar Key.

There’s a special feeling you experience when you arrive in Cedar Key. It’s the kind of comfort that feels like slipping into your favorite well-worn jeans—easy, familiar, and relaxing. Life slows down here. You can finally put your feet up and enjoy the moment.

Maybe it’s the salty breeze drifting in from the Gulf, the breathtaking sunsets over the water, or the charm of this small island village filled with local eateries, unique shops, and bicycles cruising along quiet streets. Perhaps it’s the mangroves, the shifting tides, and the unmistakable coastal air. Whatever the reason, the feeling is real—and it’s absolutely worth the journey to the end of the road where Cedar Key meets the sea.

For adventure on the water, two kayaks are provided for guests to enjoy. Paddle across the bay for a memorable experience, but be sure to pay attention to the Cedar Key tides—head out on an incoming tide and return before it turns.

A small private pier sits directly in front of the home, offering a wonderful spot for fishing or simply enjoying the view.

Pelican Place is fully furnished, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped to ensure a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking, serving, and dining in. Both bedrooms are tastefully decorated with all linens provided. The master bedroom features a king bed, and the guest bedroom also includes a king bed and a TV.

The spacious living room offers comfortable seating for six and a large smart TV. The dining area is perfect for meals, conversation, or game nights.

Step outside to enjoy the waterside deck, ideal for soaking up the Florida sunshine and Gulf breezes. The front porch features two comfortable cushioned swings—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Fishing opportunities are plentiful in Cedar Key, whether from a bridge, pier, inshore charter, or offshore trip. You can even cast a line right from your backyard.

Pelican Place comfortably accommodates up to four guests. To maintain the peaceful environment, we ask that guests respect the following guidelines:

Maximum occupancy: 4 guests

No smoking

No pets allowed

Amenities include Wi-Fi, two smart TVs, and a washer and dryer for your convenience. The home is ideal for two couples, or two adults with children, looking to enjoy a relaxing getaway together.

Pelican Place was the perfect location! Within walking distance of everything. We parked our car and didn't get in until we left for home. The house was well appointed. The decor was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed! The property managers were responsive and easy to reach. We will definitely return!

Great Location on the Water

Great location on the water! Comfortable and clean. Beds were comfortable. Back enclosed room has a great view of the water. Watched the boats come and go and the dolphins play in the water every day. Easy check in/out process. Ample supplies. Easy to get around the island. Walkable to the downtown area.

Happiness at Pelican Place

We've stayed at Cedar Key a number of times but we've decided that Pelican Place is by far our favourite place to stay here. We loved being able to walk out onto the patio and gather around that photo-perfect circle of colourful chairs right on the water to watch the sunsets. The decor is just perfect for a charming hideaway by the sea. We also really loved being able to walk to all the pubs and restaurants and shops on the pier and along the main street. We will definitely come back again to Cedar Key and Pelican Place.

Wonderful Beach Cottage

Wonderful beach cottage. 4 of us (2 couples) come to CK twice a year to fish and have now found the perfect place to stay. Beautifully decorated, very clean, well stocked with all necessary amenities and the perfect spot to just relax and enjoy the gorgeous Cedar Key sunrises/sunsets. We are already looking forward to returning in April 24. Loved it!

Short get away

This is a cute charming home by the gulf that has everything you need to enjoy while your away from home. Fish right out the back door, kayak over to a smaller deserted island, grab a golf chart and explore more of the island, visit little shops and enjoy a nice cold beer and fish sandwich. Even a short two day trip can get you back to your relaxed state of mind in this beautiful home where the decor is on point for the location. We hope to be back shortly and stay longer.

My wife and I had an excellent stay. Everything was as described. The views were excellent and the cottage was positioned a block from downtown so no driving was required all week. Very short paddle to some great fishing and beach combing. We hope to return in the futuer! Jeremy

We really enjoyed our stay at the mermaid cottage. With comfortable beds and plenty of space to move around, my friend, and I were very pleased. The two bathrooms were nicely appointed and clean. The views around the fire pit are stunning. We got sunrise and the effects of sunset around the corner. We would definitely be back.

This was our first visit to Cedar Key and we weren’t sure where to stay. This was the perfect location on the island. I can’t imagine a better location or view on the island. The property was perfect. It was well decorated, clean and kept up plus the sunroom has an amazing view. I would highly recommend staying here.
