About this property

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

There is a distinctive feeling one gets when in Cedar Key. A comfortable feeling like wearing old, soft jeans. An attitude that says you are home now you can relax and put up your feet. Is it the salt smell in the air, the sunsets on the Gulf, the sights and smells and sounds of the little village by the sea with its eateries and its shops and its bicycles? Or is it the mangroves and low tides and fishy odors on the breeze. It may be one or all of the above. But that feeling is real and it is worth traveling a little farther for. Worth staying on the roadway until it ends on the seashore at Cedar Key.

Pelican Place is located on the Gulf of Mexico in Cedar Key Florida, an island village approximately three miles from the mainland.

This house overlooks the gulf with islands and gulf waters extending out as far as one can see. The two bedroom, two bath home with porches and balconies on two sides affords panoramic water views. From the cozy waterfront sun room to the open deck there is no shortage of inspiring views.

Once inside the home the open and light filled great room continues to bring the outside in with views of the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you are in the living room, the dining area, the kitchen or the master bedroom the sparkling water of the gulf are never more than a glance away at Pelican Place.

Bring your bicycles for when you are ready to explore all the byways and nooks and crannies of the island head any 2 miles in any direction and you have seen the entire island. Or perhaps you want to take a faster method of transportation. Then climb aboard the four seat golf cart (available to you for an additional charge). The breeze in your face, the 12 mph pace, the "hellos" and "howdys" from other happy visitors and locals alike will cause you to ask yourself "how was I ever so lucky and blessed to find Pelican Place and Cedar Key?"

Launch the kayaks (2 provided) and paddle across the bay for a memorable experience. Make sure you have a firm knowledge of the Cedar Key tides. Always paddle out on an incoming tide and paddle back before it turns again. Anyway the kayaks are here for your enjoyment.

The small pier at Pelican Place is located on the water directly in front of the house. This dock is excellent for fishing.

Pelican Place house comes fully furnished and well equipped. It is clean and neat and goes above and beyond even the McCormick Management Co. standards. The Kitchen is stocked well with all one needs for cooking and serving and dining in. The bedrooms are tastefully done and all your linens are supplied. There is a King bed in the master bedroom and a king bed in the guest. There is a tv in the guest bedroom but not the master. Both bathrooms have walk in showers, single sinks and toilet.

The living room is spacious and comfortable with seating for six and a wide screen smart tv. The dining area is great for conversation and dinner and games.

The waterside deck is fantastic for catching the gulf breeze and the Florida sun. The front porch has two comfortable swings with springs and cushions

Fishing is abundant here whether it is fishing from a bridge or a pier on inshore fishing or off shore fishing there is no shortage of ways to catch fish. You can even fish from your back yard!.
