Seahorse Landing

Unit 503, owned by Shirley, is extremely outdated and dilapidated. Slats are missing from some of the blinds, light on porch did not work, toilet paper was single-ply, bedding was very old. There was a piece of siding on the side of our unit that kept banging against the building and kept my friend up. We left the unit in pristine condition (washed and put away our dishes, took out our trash and recyclables, etc.). Shirley claimed the window in the guest bedroom was broken and couldn't be closed and therefore she would not return my friend's deposit. We both told her that we didn't even open the BLINDS, let alone a window. It was very cold and windy when we were there and we would never have opened a window and been even colder. I slept with socks, my sweatshirt, and robe over my winter pajamas and even used the winter-weight blanket! This spoiled the memories we made of this weekend and will NEVER go back there again!!!!

It hurts a little to write this, as I adore Cedar Key, I just wish they’d give this place some love. We returned last fall for a second time to this same unit, 102, now managed by Nature Coast Realty. Upon finding out it was under new management, we were excited because we love this location but it really needs some TLC. Sadly, nothing had changed except the price that went up! They were kind enough to honor the old price since I booked 10 months ahead though. THE VIEW and THE DOCK are everything. The rest is, meh. Nice pool, encountered a few rowdy guests in the hot tub one night. Easy parking including for trailers and boats and golf carts. The condo itself, needs a lot. 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo, pull out sofa: -only provided 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, and 1 kitchen towel. When I called to inquire about more, the answer was they couldn’t get any until the next day. There were five of us. So I had to buy towels and get reimbursed -just a handful of hangers, all metal junkers -carpet is nasty. A good steam clean would do wonders. My kids feet were BLACK on the bottom from walking around INSIDE -broken blinds in the living room -nice Adirondack chairs on the deck, but wood wearing away meant splinters in legs and feet -broken bathroom fan, makes a horrible banging noise if you try to turn it on -kitchen utensils are hit and miss. If you know you need something specific for cooking, bring it with you -WiFi was decent, but very few TV channels -ceiling fan in the dining area was broken and missing a part. When we called they said “just don’t use it.” It’s the beach! -furniture stained and dirty looking — just needs new stuff in there or to ge well cleaned -a/c worked well and always had plenty of hot water -fridge and washer/dryer both worked great PLEASE fix up this unit. We do love this place but it’s becoming hard to stomach when visiting with our kids for a week!
