About this house rental
Our home is a beautiful oceanfront getaway located in an unspoiled Florida fishing village. We are located on the Gulf coast and enjoy both gorgeous sunsets and sunrises year round. We are within walking distance of the historic downtown and famous dock street restaurants and shops. If you are looking for a little relaxation in your next Gulf Coast vacation, you must discover Cedar Key, Florida. Our views of the Gulf are panoramic, our style is low-key, and we want you to kick back, get comfortable and most of all, have a great time! The Thomas Guesthouse is a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home. Our vaulted ceilings and wall to wall windows offer incredible views of Cedar Key's waterfront and nature preserves. If you are a nature lover, you will be mesmerized by the variety of birds and dolphins that feed in front of your private balcony. Throw open the wraparound windows and feel the sea air and breezes gently relax you as you watch a panoramic sunset filled with the most stunning imagery and colors. Enjoy sunrises with your morning coffee and the spectacular colors of the sunsets each evening. Cedar Key is surrounded by the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge - a refuge famous for its extensive colonies of nesting birds. Depending on the season you visit, you will see Roseate Spoonbills, White Pelicans, Dowitchers, Willets, Skimmers, Oystercatchers, Frigate Birds, Wood Storks, and many LBBs (little brown shorebirds, from plovers to sandpipers). Always resident are: Great Blue Herons, Little Blue Herons, Tricolors, Great Egrets, Osprey, Bald Eagles, and many others. Our home is fully furnished and equipped for your comfort and convenience. Besides the fully-equipped kitchen, living and dining areas, we also have a laundry area with washer and dryer. Cedar Key is perfect for couples or family vacations. Park your car and walk or use a golf cart to visit our restaurants, galleries, boat rentals, shops, and the town marina. Most dining and shopping options on Dock Street are two blocks from the Thomas Guesthouse. Bikes, scooters, and golf carts are also available if you would like to range a bit further. Cedar Key is part of Florida's Nature Coast--the wildlife is abundant. If you are looking to enjoy old Florida without the crowds, come to Cedar Key and relax on our balcony and watch the birds and boats go by. We promise you will not want to leave.

Overall the place was okay, Bathrooms bad with mold around tub and showers, need some attention, main bedroom bath fan vibrates the bedroom floor above. outside deck should be replaced, boards not just weathered they are rotten with exposed nails. Worst of all we had grease all over kitchen floor after cooking breakfast only to find out the grease trap had not been cleaned for a very long time.

Our stay at the Magical Pink House was just perfect! The view was spectacular and the home was clean and comfortable. We had everything we could have asked for and communication with the host was great! We would love to come back and stay again! Five stars all the way around!

We enjoyed a wonderful week relaxing on the water watching the dolphin and osprey just off the deck. The house is perfect for a winter getaway for the family. Lots to do in the area and lots to do within walking distance.

We spend three nights at the Magical Pink House and it was the peace and quiet we needed. It was a perfect location to watch the sun rise and set. And how beautiful was that? Amazing. Cedar Key is a special place and this house made more than special. It made it magical!
5.0
Great location. Great views. Very nice accommodations - a true 3 / 3.5 as listed. Despite recently going through a major hurricane the house and cedar key itself were up and running - If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know. We’d stay again.

As good as it gets in Cedar Key. Easy access to all parts of the Key and just a short drive to Crystal River and Homosassa Springs. Hopefully we’ll be able to stay there again soon.

Clean and comfortable home, well equipped kitchen and stocked bathrooms linens. The 3 couples that stayed all loved the location, deck and house.

For our family of five adults the house was perfect for relaxing between activities; enjoying the view, the birds and stars.
The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked. We cooked quite a bit. The drip coffee maker could have been larger. We needed to make three pots in the morning. That’s all I can think to suggest as an improvement. We were very happy there for a long weekend. Perhaps a note to bring in deck cushions at night would be helpful. We found them wet one morning so couldn’t sit out. I highly recommend the pink house to others!

Pink House is perfect for your time in Cedar Key. Walk to Dock Street and the waterfronts. Expansive unobstructed day and night views from upper deck. Fish off back patio. Home is an open floor plan and spacious. Who doesn’t like like PINK!? We’ll be back!

Everything went very well. The property owner was very clear with everything and made it super simple so we could enjoy our weekend fishing trip.

The house was awesome location awesome the only thing that was not were the locals they acted like they did not want you there in general from the local grocery, marine and hardware store the only locals that were pleasant were the local authorities and steamers restaurant we will not be back and I think the locals want that, we had very little interaction with locals because we took boat and fished mostly (fishing was decent)

Among the Top Three Best...
vacation rental homes we have ever experienced. First of all the property was exactly as described and presented. It was a perfect location, close to walking downtown; yet the views made it feel like you actually on the water from multiple viewpoints. We felt very much "at home" in this house and give kudo's to the owners for making it feel like a true home and not just a rental. The owner was incredibly responsive and quickly answered all questions and requests. If looking for "something" to put in the con column, be prepared for 16 stairs to get in/out... so if you have trouble climbing up/down... just be aware. We would reserve this property again and again, without hesitation. Thanks for having us.

From the moment you park at this house, the vacay starts off beautifully as you pull right into a water view. The pictures don’t do this house justice. It’s open and bright. The views are great, and the location can’t be beat. We walked most places or took our separately rented golf cart…a great way to get around, they’re everywhere! Food was great everywhere we ate. Excellent little coffee and breakfast spot is The Prickly Palm right around the corner. A little farther away for a full breakfast is Annie’s! Be mindful that during the week businesses/restaurants close early, and even on the weekend most are done by 9pm. So go early! And last but not least, watch out for the no seeums aka sand fleas at sunrise/sunset when you’re outside…they eat you up! Bring a bug spray. Otherwise a fantastic getaway and wonderful house to spend any amount of time. Would absolutely return.

In a word, amaaaaazing.. The house is truly magical. It is even nicer than the pictures show and the view priceless. You could feel the stress melt away immediately. Because the view was so nice we ended up bringing food in instead of eating out. Dolphin pods everywhere to watch. Very quaint and comfortable. We kayaked out to the island across the way and walked the trails to the old 1800s cemetery. Worth checking out. We could walk everywhere from the house....shops, restaurants, boat docks/ramps, local beach etc. very close by. We had one small mishap with the garbage disposal backing up and not draining. The owner drove 1hr and a half to fix it only for it to drain immediately for them and we had tried it again an hour earlier that morning. Yikes!
Hints: bring water shoes if you intend on going in the water at house. Its all rocky and lined with oyster beds. Also, there is a second AC thermostat for upstairs rooms which we somehow missed. We brought food with us because groceries are limited on Key. Communication with owners was great.
Many people rent golf carts there in advance but we were so close by we did not need to.
We will be back and stay for more that 2 nights!!
Thank you owners for allowing us to stay in your home and allowing us to make more great memories with our adult kids!!

Your beautiful home is better than my husband and I imagined. Watched dolphins, birds, boats, sunrise, and fishermen from the wrap around deck. Rented a golf cart to explore. Cedar Key is a gem and has much to offer for anyone who wants a peaceful piece of paradise!
