Beach Front Motel

Clean and comfortable, friendly staff and a view to die for. That sunset was awesome. Great pool and a great place to relax. Hotel needs some updates but who cares, it's an older city and all you need is clean and comfortable. Definitely will visit again.

Best budget hotel. If you are looking for a higher end modern Marriott type of hotel this isn't for you. It's true to Cedar Key vibes. Pet friendly, family friendly. Everyone keeps to their self. I recommend the oceanfront room. Can't beat the view.

Old Florida style hotel. Beautiful setting! The host Shelly was super nice and we had fun joking around with her. Beds are comfy. Not a lot of fancy but well worth it for the views. We watched dolphins play from the room and on the pool deck.

Great staff. Rooms very very clean. Cold air conditioner in the room. ***We had a room with a kitchenette but there were no utensils or supplies in the room****but we were able to get takeout utensils from one of the restaurants. One of the few hotels with a pool. The hotel is close enough to walk everywhere, but not so close that you’re in the hustle and bustle of the town.ample parking. Will stay here again

My husband and I just stayed here and we loved it. Room was very clean. We thought it was a beautiful area for so many reasons. We went for walks, shopping, restaurants, fishing and more. The room was great size, had a king bed, mini fridge, microwave, table, tv etc. The lady’s in the office were great! We were actually a walk in with hopes to get a room and it worked out perfectly they had a few and we got an ocean view. The AC did seem like we would be hot all night but we definitely woke up in the middle of the night freezing. So that was great!! We like it cold. The only thing I would have to say could be better was the water pressure in shower but I do find that an issue at most places. So they definitely still get five stars from us. And we will definitely be back!!

Oh I almost forgot to add. The only thing I was having trouble with was the wifi. Just didn’t seem to want to work with us. Not sure if it was the service from the motel or our phones just weren’t having it. I kept getting stuck in sos so couldn’t use phones in room at all. But outside was totally fine off the wifi.

The staff here is so friendly and welcoming, from the minute we arrived, they were helpful and kind. We arrived before our check in time, the nice lady in the office let us park our car there for several hours with no issues. When we did check in, the room was clean. Very clean. This is an older place, but everything was in good working order and everything was freshly cleaned, from the towels and comforters to the floor and windows. The pool was the perfect temperature and was cleaned every morning that I was there. The maintenance man was polite and busy the entire time we were there. He never stopped cleaning and working. The cleaning staff was also friendly and busy, but didn't mind when I asked for coffee and directions. This is ocean front (no beach) and about 4 blocks or so from Dock St, maybe 5 from the beach park. The ice machine worked great, the air conditioning unit was cold, the bed was good, the shower had great pressure and hot water, all in all, zero complaints! Definitely recommend!

We showed up with no reservations on a Friday. Had to wait to see if someone canceled. Someone did. As a manager of an RV resort. We love it here, of course they need a few repairs, but it is on the water and gets beat up by the weather and sun. but this place is better then some chain hotels and the room does not smell like mold. The views are awesome. The owners are very friendly. We are making reservations for another stay when we check out.

We arrived with no hotel reserved, we tried a few that we passed upon entering Cedar Key, all with no vacancy. My husband went in to talk to the office, they had a couple of verbal reserves that the customer had not arrived. They said if they do not arrive by 6 pm they could give us the room, we went grabbed a bite came back at 6 pm... one customer did not show. They gave us the room, I could not find an iron in the room, the staff member "Lonnie" Said I will give you mine and you can use it, I ironed all my clothes and returned it, he said you don't have to do that keep it until you leave, I said no you must be using it as well. I thought "WOW!!!" That is customer service. The room was nice, clean, The pool was the area it needed the most help the chairs were in disrepair, most were broken but still usable. Everyone was eager to help and very nice. We definitely would recommend and stay there again. (Hope they replace the pool chaise lounges soon) Thanks for making our experience pleasant, it was much appreciated.

Amazing location, amazing management and owner. I highly recommend this to anyone, except those who prefer super fancy stuff. This isn't fancy, but it is amazing in that it has AC, clean bed, shower and toilet and a mini fridge. It's right by the water, a point that big sharks tend to be caught often. I caught a very large snook, trout, redfish, lady fish and a bunch of other inshore fish. It's walking distance to a grocery store and many bars and restaurants. I highly recommend it!

Was my first trip to Cedar Key and chose to stay at this great little motel. The staff all were incredibly friendly and helpful. I had a room on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the water and it was perfect! The accommodation had everything I needed to just relax and enjoy to include a fridge, coffee maker and a fantastic pool. I will definitely be back and can recommend this place without any hesitation.

The staff here are super friendly and made me feel extremely welcome, even though I checked in quite late.
The rooms are very spacious and I love having the kitchenette if I want to save some coin on a meal every now and again.
The personal highlight for me though: the incredible view from the room! Most (if not, all) of the rooms here have an amazingly scenic view of the Cedar Key bay and wildlife refuge island.
It's a five minute walk into town. It's a safe area so walking down to the docks or bars at night is no trouble either.
Highly recommend!

Such friendly and helpful staff. Very personable and willing to help anyway they could. Beautiful ocean view room, comfortable beds & even a local island cat ! We will definitely stay here again! Couldn't ask for a better view of the gulf of Mexico. Thank you to everyone for an enjoyable stay !!

Perfect spot for sunsets. Cozy hotel with comfortable bed. It is a bit dated though it really doesn't bother me. It is obvious that upgrades have been made over time. Walking distance to the small town shops and restaurants. We have stayed here now a couple times and we like it.

We recently needed a halfway stopping point and found this. It was a beautiful location, with a perfect sunset view. The owner was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They've started to update the main things first, and they've done a good job. It's a great value for the price. We'll definitely stay here again.

Less than an hour from Gainesville. A wonderful short trip for a weekend to unwind, reconnect with family, or just with that special someone. Very polite and friendly staff and not fake polite. If taking kids, especially small ones, reserve a room with a kitchenette or full kitchen. Not sure If this one has that, but we did get a family style room that had a microwave and refrigerator. Loved every minute of our stay.

We found The Beach Front Motel by accident about 2 months ago, and I’m so glad we did! We were treated like family by Lonnie and Denise from the minute we walked in the office! The hospitality shown to us went above and beyond our expectations. This was by far my best motel stay ever, beating out large resorts as well! The rooms are great, the scenery is amazing, and the staff are absolutely fantastic! We will definitely be adding Beach Front Motel to our (very short) list of places we want to return to! Can’t wait to go back with more time to explore the surrounding town!!
Thank you all so much for the kindness and hospitality you showed these new Florida residents!!

First visit to this motel. Friendly staff and we received a free upgraded room. That was so sweet. Had a wonderful view of the waters and the pool. Confortable bed, hot showers, directv, fridge and microwave. Only complaint is the bad phone reception but we were able to pick it up at dinner in town. They're also within walking distance to their main strip of restaurants. Would definitely revisit.

Great location. Nice and clean. The bed was a bit hard, but we really enjoyed it.

It was amazing! The hospitality was great. We were there for the Cedar Key lighting of the lighthouse. The first time it hasn't been lit since 1915! The lighthouse is on Seahorse Key, approximately 3.5 miles off shore and was built in the mid 1800's.

Very kind, friendly and informative staff when we checked in. Clean rooms, not 5 star rooms but everything else about this location makes it a 5 star. Beautiful view of the bay and sunset. Easy walking distance to downtown or to the restaurants and shops on Dock street. Would stay here if I come back.
