FIND OLD FLORIDA IN CEDAR KEY
According to local
historians, the weathered, collapsing structure was built in 1959 by local
craftsman for the family that owned the Thomas Hotel -- a short day trip away in
Gainesville.
The boardwalk and some
of the cottage itself were destroyed by Hurricane Elena on Labor Day, 1985.
Subsequent storms created the further battered condition that makes the
isolated Honeymoon Cottage a rustic, faded charmer.
Taking meandering walks
and rolls in the slow lane, fueled by plenty of fresh seafood, is what Cedar
Key is all about.
Check out the Honeymoon Cottage.
Bring a book.
Pack a snack.
Take a nap.
Old Florida still exists and it is wheelchair-accessible.

published thousands of travel stories and contributed to New Mobility for
nearly two decades. He lives with his ADA-expert wife in the heart of bustling
Miami, but appreciates a good Old Florida respite.
