The Flounder Inn is a secluded Gulf-side, waterfront location with beautiful sunset views and a private dock. Charmingly rustic, this family cabin sleeps eight people comfortably. Pine wood floors, cypress walls, and high ceilings welcome visitors to this warm and inviting vacation home. An open plan with plenty of seating with all the necessities including a wood stove (firewood can be purchased locally), rounds out this unique and cozy cabin by the sea. Explore the gulf with our 3 complementary kayaks. Flounder Inn is located on the far northwestern edge of the island of Cedar Key, Florida, on a private, peaceful lot just 2.5 miles from downtown. Flounder Inn offers a king size bed in the master bedroom located on the main floor along with a full bath and queen size sleeper sofa. Upstairs are two guest rooms and a half bath. One room has two twin beds and the other has a queen size bed. There is also a large wire pet kennel, and dog bed, bowls and toys for your furry friend. You’ll find Dish Network TV; plenty of games and puzzles and at your front door awaits a world to enjoy. The dock located on a short canal leading to the open Gulf is perfect for kayaking (3 kayaks are available for your use), crabbing, fishing, bird-watching, and cast netting for mullet. At high tide you'll see and hear mullet jump from the water as the osprey and cranes hunt in the canal. Ocean tides, constantly in motion, are nowhere more obvious than at Flounder Inn. From high tide to low and every stage in between, the scene is always changing. Flounder Inn has a screened porch and an open deck, overlooking the water with a western view of the open Gulf and those colorful sunsets. The cabin itself is like a photo page torn from an old magazine. It's a family history, a novel written over time. The characters in the story are family members and friends who, over the years, built Flounder Inn with their own hands; bringing materials from their homes in Gainesville working all weekend and then doing it all again the next weekend until completed. Flounder Inn has changed little over the years except for the obvious modern additions of central heat and air, cell-service booster, and a smart TV with Dish network satellite hook-up. Be prepared to use your own data plan, as Flounder Inn has no Wi-Fi. Who knows, you may find your group enjoying a little less "screen time" and a little more "island time". The maritime environment surrounding Flounder Inn and Cedar Key is a treasure map of things to see, do, and learn. The water, the tides, the mud flats, museums, Indian Mounds, abundant sea life, and sand bars are all waiting for your discovery. With signed releases, there are kayaks available for your use. Launch directly from the dock using the Kaya-arm for stability. Parking at Flounder Inn is adequate, two cars may park under the cabin, and three will fit in the yard. If you are bringing a boat, please understand, there is limited space for boat parking and maneuvering. It is not advisable to bring large boats and trailers, due to the space and configuration of the parking area. BE ADVISED: Parking is on Flounder Inn property only; there is NO overflow parking available. Choose Flounder Inn for your next visit to Cedar Key. Launch your boat at the city marina or at Shell Mound Park and bring it around to the Flounder Inn dock. Be aware the extreme tidal changes mean there will be times you'll not be able to take your boat out from the dock or bring it into the dock. When the tides are right, Flounder Inn offers easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and all that it has to offer. Bring your bicycles, rent a golf cart, use the kayaks and enjoy fresh seafood, cool drinks, and live music at local restaurants. Close out the day watching the sun set over the Gulf from the open deck of Flounder Inn.
