The Island Hotel Bed & Breakfast, in Cedar Key, Florida, is on the National Register of Historic Buildings, and is one of Florida's most famous Bed and Breakfasts. Built in 1859, the Island Hotel in Cedar Key is constructed from seashell tabby with oak supports. Its walls have withstood hurricanes for almost 150 years, and its sloping wooden floors have survived the passage of innumerable feet. Breakfast includes fresh brewed Columbian roast coffee or imported and herbal teas, fruit juice, toasted homemade bread, and a choice of the house-specialty cooked breakfast. Sit on a rocker on the long balcony and watch the sun set over the Gulf or relax in the cozy lounge bar, painted in 1948 with murals of Cedar Key and King Neptune, for whom the bar is named. Island Hotel features a restaurant where guests can feast on Crab Bisque and Heart of Palm Salad while dining in the casually elegant dining room or on the screened porch. The Island Hotel features 10 rooms, all of them individual with traditional ceiling fans. To preserve the romantic and traditional ambience, there are no televisions or telephones in any of the rooms. Some of the rooms have old-fashioned claw-foot tubs (bubble bath provided]), some showers and some tub and showers. They all have the original hand-cut wooden walls and floors, and are centrally heated and air-conditioned. All of the rooms have private bathrooms, two have king-sized beds, four have queen-sized beds, and the remainder have double beds. Guests may use the upstairs lobby and balcony to relax in the rocking chairs. Cedar Key is mainly famous for three things: the Cedar Key Arts Festival, the Seafood Festival, and the island's people and their way of life. For a village of less than 700 permanent residents, the number and quality of artists and skilled craftsman is astounding. Walking the streets of Cedar Key, visitors will see local art at every turn...paintings, sculptures, wood carvings, and local crafts are everywhere...artwork that is celebrated each Spring with the annual Cedar Key Arts Festival. Since Cedar Key is still a fishing village, the Seafood Festival is held each Fall to celebrate the fishing industry. The Seafood Festival honors more than the economic impact of the men and women who take part in fishing, it celebrates their contribution to the core of the fabric of life on Cedar Key. 373 2nd Street, Cedar Key, FL - From Tallahassee Regional Airport: Depart the airport on Longleaf Road heading South East.
