We absolutely loved this place. It was quiet, clean and the staff were all so pleasant. They provide beach chairs and beach towels so no need to worry about bringing those items. We stayed in the Violet cottage and it was perfect for just my husband and I. We cannot wait to visit again

We had a lovely time. We rented a cabana and I would highly recommend this. The beach is truly relaxing and beautiful. The only thing, although I did not pay attention much to the map where rooms are located ( and that is my fault), no where in the written description did I see that some of the cottages are located across the street from the main part of the facility. It was described as ocean side, but I think it should be more specific with room location. And the road is only 2 lanes, but busy. Otherwise, very nice.

Hello Lori,Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We always supply 2 coffee pods to each room. The televisions in the room do work, if you were having an issue with them, we do wish that you would have called us to rectify the situation as we are available 24/7 to assist our guests. As you checked in later in the day, and left early in the morning, it is our hope that you will return one day for a longer stay that would allow you the opportunity to enjoy all of the amenities the resort has to offer.

A well kept resort with helpful staff that went above and beyond to make our stay helpful with happy smiles. We had Starfish which was very quiet, clean with pretty decor with a resort feel with little touches such as toilet paper folded like a rose, tissue container folded like a fan. Tommy Bahama shower toiletries and little touches that were extra special. There's lots of outdoor seating, a hammock, plenty of beach chairs, parking spot close to our room. There was a small area by the office with palm trees, cacti with 3 water fountains for a soothing oasis. I had the best view of the sunrise right outside our door. I can't wait to come back!

It had a small town vibe to it, they used Tommy Bahama soap instead of some stinky generic soap, they had beach chairs and other ammenities available to use on the island, and they were right next to the best beach in the Florida. The only dislike is we didnt know the cottage we stayed in was across the road and we thought it would be a beach front. Still a really short walk so not really a dislike. AMAZING EXPERIENCE

This property had a laid back old-school charm. I walked along the beach and found that many newer places had cleared all the trees from their property but Cedar Cove has beautiful palm trees with hammocks so that you can sip your drink and read your book in the dappled shade with an incredible view of the beach. The beach was so safe and clean that you had to walk past two sea turtle nests to reach the ocean. The ocean was warm, shallow, and gentle, perfect for my adolescent kids to play, swim and fish by them selves. The other guests were friendly and relaxed. The free bikes, beach towels and a little free library were very thoughtful touches. The kitchenette in our unit was supplied with all the conveniences, and the store was a bikable distance away, which was very convenient for my family. For folks unaccustomed to the heat of Florida, they had two completely shaded outdoor sitting areas for food and games, a bar with delicious cold drinks, and nice strong AC and ceiling fans in the apartment. This place was exactly the hole in the wall sleepy beach town vibe that my northern family was looking for. Thank you to all of the staff.

My family and I had a great time. We stayed in the dolphin suite and it was amazingly convenient. Laundry was only steps away you do have to pay $2 per load tho. You could literally walk into the beach in under 2 minutes. The wifi range went on for days! I couldn’t believe that I was 10 feet from the ocean and still had almost full bars. The staff were pretty nice and were always able to help me with whatever I might have needed as well.

The location, cleanliness, facilities, everything, was amazing.
