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.

Extremely clean. Friendly, helpful staff that went above and beyond. I traveled with my teenage daughter and her friend and we never once felt unsafe. I was fine using the free trolley transportation up and down the island, but the girls talked me into renting a golf cart. That did provide more freedom for our short time there. The resort has golf carts for rent. We will definitely be back!

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.

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!

I enjoyed the hospitality of the team. Free Pina Colada and coffee in the morning were nice unexpected additions to the stay.

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.

Our room was as clean as could be expected for a tired old hotel in a great location. The stairs and decking of our second floor (of 3 floors) unit were splintered and aged. There were extra charges for coffee beyond the first night, the laundry was dirty, small, and coin-operated, and even getting clean linens was a challenge. We paid $450/night for a pretty mediocre accommodation, except for the location… We won’t be back.

The room was very clean and the staff was super friendly. Our room was a bit smaller than anticipated, but the listing did list the square footage so that was my fault. I did not envision how small it really was. The outside areas to utilize were pretty. We enjoyed having lunch every day on the tables overlooking the beach. Everything needed to enjoy the day at the beach was provided. Beach area was not crowded and we felt like we had the beach to ourselves every day instead of being crammed.

the beach was across the street and that was nice with chairs and umbrellas. The facility did not have much more to make it a resort. We were on the first floor of a 2 story building and they had a family with 3 children on the second floor. It was very noisy. The unit we had was on the street and that was not mentioned. It was described as garden location.

My sister and I moved to Bradenton when we were teenagers. We loved going to the beach on AMI. Now, 60, years later, we were looking for a nostalgic 3-day getaway. Cedar Cove was perfect for us. Small, quiet and friendly, it captured the old Florida vibe. We were in the Coconut Suite which gave us wonderful Gulf views and some natural beauty with palms and pines. We drank iced tea on the balcony while we watch the beach walkers go by. Then we just walked down there too when the sunset arrived. I watched a pelican diving for fish and the sandpipers racing the waves. I even swam out to the sand bar! I was surprised how well Cedar Cove had weathered Hurricane Milton. The pullout couch was actually comfortable. The full kitchen was a bonus. The designated parking space was appreciated. All-in-all we had a great getaway at Cedar Cove.
