Beach Shack: Central location, recent renovation
Tucked in the heart of Cedar Key village you'll find the Beach Shack. With its fresh interior, well-appointed furnishings and fabulous central location you can't go wrong!
Just 3 strolling blocks from the water and 2 from the delicious dining options of 2nd St, you won't need to drive unless you really want to. The famous Cedar Key Fishing Pier is less than a half mile and while you're out there check out the shops and restaurants on the water, the views at sunset can't be beat! **We ask that all guests be over the age of 18.
The Beach Shack has a beautifully open floor plan allowing for conversation between the living room, kitchen and dining areas.
The living room holds is a queen-sized pull-out couch and plush recliner for a total of 4-5 people to sit and chat or watch TV. With a fun and friendly beach vibe it's easy to feel at home here. Extra blankets and linens for the sofa bed are in the ottoman.
The kitchen is stocked with all the items you need to spend a weekend or a couple of months. Brand new stainless steel appliances include a built-in microwave, glass top electric stove/oven and large refrigerator with freezer on top. There's no shortage of updates here!!
A 2 person breakfast bar, along with a 4 person, round dining table, will give you more than enough seating for dining in.
The bedroom is just down the hall with a comfortable queen bed, large night stands, luggage racks and closet. The full ensuite has a single sink, toilet and tub shower combo.
There is a half bath in the hall.
Outside you will find a brand new deck enclosed by almost invisible screen. With comfortable seating for 4, this is great place to sit back and enjoy a cold beverage at the end of the day. Outback there is a gas grill and fire table, we provide the presto logs and ask that those are the only things burned.
Other amenities to note are a stacking washer and dryer, additional closet for storage, vacuum, standing fan, extra pillows and blankets, games, fee WiFi and ceiling fan.
Come on out and give the Beach Shack a try, we think you'll love it!

This property was perfect for a couples getaway weekend. It has 1.5 bathrooms and a fully stocked kitchen. Very clean and cozy with a screen porch overlooking the neighborhood. It’s close to dining and shopping options. We would definitely rent it again!
Besides the great location walking distances are short to a host of restaurants and all other island points of interest. The house was roomy, clean and well prepared for our stay. Highly recommend along with professional assistance from the management team.
We had a wonderful time at this house in Cedar Key. Easy, pretty walk to all of the shops, restaurants, pier and park area. The house was nicely decorated and perfect for us. It is on a quiet neighborhood. This was our first time in Cedar Key but we definitely plan to come back!
The beach shack is a great place for a summertime getaway in Cedar Key. Great management, quiet spot, and most importantly a good firm bed (a pox on all those who rent broken down, saggy beds)! The shack is a small space and residents must be able to climb stairs but it was exactly as advertised. There was practically no one in Cedar Key and nothing going on, and as a resident of Way Too Many People, FL, that was exactly what I wanted! Great place for a nature coast island getaway!
While it’s a small home, it’s bigger than it appears in the photos. Perfect for a couple, but would be a bit crowded with any more than 2. Everything was clean and in good working condition. Very short walk to the water. It was fun watching all the dolphins splashing around. Very quiet and safe neighborhood. Would definitely recommend for a romantic getaway.

This property was extremely clean and just as advertised. I loved that it was extremely close to the downtown area, which made it very walkable. I felt completely safe to walk at night, which was important being that I was a solo, female traveler. I brought my bike to enjoy biking all around the island. The management company was so accommodating and extremely responsive. I would definitely use them again for future visits. The front porch also made for a great workspace, if one were to need to work remotely.
Our 2nd trip here. Always great ! Management group very responsive and always available. Property's location is ideal, very clean and can't wait to return.
Super cute,clean, location and room for vehicle & boat, fantastic ! Great communication with managing group. Loved our stay and are planning another trip.
3rd trip this year. This place is perfect for us. Always a pleasure. Property managers always available if we have needs or concerns. Location is perfect. Looking forward to our next trip.
