Calypso Cottage - Cedar Key - Vacation Rental

23/09/2024

So with the Cedar Key fire yesterday many things happened.

First Cedar Key lost a huge part of it's economy and jobs. While not every job on the keys, it is a heavy blow to the whole island. Almost 100 jobs were lost, businesses lost huge amounts of money in equipment and inventories. People and families are devastated.

The First Responders did a great job. The Fire Fighters went so far as standing in the water under the structures to reach part of the fire! They really saved more than expected given the wooden structures in the conditions they were.

But many are asking what can be done to help Cedar Key? You can help by still visiting and spending your money there. Cedar Key has two types of income, Water related and Tourist related. They will need people to visit and continue to be a part of the Cedar Key economy.

There are several Festivals and events scheduled in Cedar Key in the coming months. DON'T CANCEL your plans and if you hadn't planned on going, go to show your support! There are also GoFundMe pages being set up. If you are not comfortable with that you can contact the businesses directly, pages below and contact information. Visit their pages and see what they are asking for.

Fishing Charters are still running and Cedar Key is still beautiful. Please come on out and help or any way you can!

Hurricanes and fires will not keep this beautiful old Florida City down, don't let it keep you from helping!

Friends of Calypso Cottage,

Please also “like” and “follow” our other page for all three cottages called Cedar Key Cottages. We tend to post more updates to that page.

Also, we have nearly completed our new website, which can be found at

www.CedarKeyCottages.com

Recent events such as two hurricanes in a year, a major fire to one of our favorite restaurants and gift shop and now another impending hurricane make us very appreciative of all of our guests!

We are disheartened by these, but they have made our love and resolve for Cedar Key that much stronger. We have become Cedar Key Strong.

Thank you for your partnership and kind reviews of our properties. They mean a great deal.

We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Check out some recent upgrades to Calypso! This should make your long-term visits even better.

What’s changed?

A refreshed laundry with a work space and new bathroom floors. (What, you liked the 1970’s linoleum? Sorry! Hee Hee.)

New swing on the front porch.

Freshly painted deck and front porch.

And the laundry - Check out the view of the Gulf and Atensa Otie through the new full-lite door! Upgraded hanging and storage space and a a flip-out table for a Work From Home or quilting and crafting space. The washer and dryer are now on a pedestal.

If you absolutely have to work while at Calypso, not a such a bad spot if you can get a peek at some dolphins swimming by!

Book your visits soon, as spring dates are filling up. Your dates are not available? Check our other cottages, Key Lime and Blue Chair!
