This was our second stay at this property and we have enjoyed our stay both times! Love the location, sunset view is amazing! Property management was amazing.
10.0
Great location- overlooking tidal estuary, with superb sunsets, easy drive with very little traffic to parks/wildlife areas. Responsive, pleasant, & helpful owners. Recently repainted exterior looks great. Only reason for 4 rating is interior is a bit worn, & could have been cleaner, poor lighting on exterior stairs. HOWEVER - owner responded herself to clean, I would recommend staying here- & hope to return ourselves.

We enjoyed our stay with Denise. The cabin was just the right size and appreciated being able to have our pup Ottis. We are thankful they were still available after the hurricane since we planned about 6 months out. Would love to come back when the dock is rebuilt. Thanks for having us!

We loved staying here. The property is located overlooking a stunning estuary and makes a lovely place to rest and relax. We enjoyed local restaurants and beautiful sunsets.

Nice duplex with a great view.

Great property. We were a little concerned about the location at first. We usually stay in town. However, the location is perfect. Close to town, but less activity. The private deck was spacious and had a great view of the tidal estuary. Very clean when we arrived. The best check in process we have ever experienced. We will definitely be back.

This is the second time we’ve stayed there, and the view from the balcony is just as amazing as I remember it. The space is perfect for my wife and the dog, and being just a few steps away from the best bar in Cedar Key doesn’t hurt either. We’ll be back to stay again!

Your little paradise
We booked our trip last minute to enjoy the new year weekend. Denise was wonderful at communicating all the trip details and she was wonderful for allowing us to check in early and check out late.
The property is beautiful. Peaceful. All that cedar key has to offer.
The rooms were clean, the place was immaculate. We felt right at home and let’s not even begin to describe the beautiful views and sunsets.
This place is perfect for families, the rooms are spacious. The kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor space is absolutely brilliant. Recommend this place highly. Especially for those seeking a beach relaxation vacation.
Will be back again for sure. What a gem

Loved it
This was our second stay at this property and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking gear (could use a large chopping knife tho, was tricky chopping fresh veggies from the market with a steak knife but made it work). The dock has been updated since our last stay to include rails and new planks. The hammock was available which was nice. Overall great stay.

Great property and amazing people!
Our experience at Cedar Key was nothing short of awesome. Denise, the owner of the property, was a fantastic host! She was super nice and easy to communicate with. She gave us great recommendations too. Gorgeous sunsets enjoyed from the property every evening. You can also kayak right from the backyard dock. Just be very mindful of the tides, don't want to get stuck on an oyster bar. We will definitely be coming back.

Great Spot for kayaking and Fishing - Super Helpful owners.
The place was perfect for my kayak trip with my family. The property was clean and spacious for us to hang out. I can’t say enough good things about Denise, she was amazing to deal with. Denise answered all of our questions and made my stay so comfortable by providing me with contact info for bait and kayak rentals and recommendations on where to eat. When I come back to Cedar Key I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thanks for making my trip stress free.

Lovely sunsets
The property has a beautiful view of a tidal cove. Lots of birds to enjoy and a stunning sunset that can be enjoyed on the back deck. There is a public boat ramp and fishing pier nearby. We enjoyed putting in our kayaks at the ramp and paddling to quiet natural areas. Great property for relaxing and enjoying nature. The town is just a five minute drive so restaurants are close. If you must have modern luxury this is not your place. If you are are looking for a clean, comfortable property that allows you to enjoy this unspoiled slice of Florida, you will be pleased.

Cedar Key Waterfront
Location was perfect for us with small dog and dock. views are very pretty. Tiki Hut right next door was awesome, people were very friendly. Denise was great to work with, very accommodating and answered any questions within minutes.
House had everything we needed, kitchen is great for cooking in for meals, well stocked.
We walked to town, about 15-20 walk.
I would stay again, no doubt.

Fell in love w Cedar Keys
Easy checkin. Good communication from property contact. Just over a mile from downtown. Wonderful sunsets from the deck. If you arrive after dark, the light switch to porch and stairs is on the post at the bottom right of stairs. Enjoyed our stay.

Excellent sunset views!
We enjoyed our time on Cedar Key and the house was comfy and well outfitted with the basics that we needed. It's nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. The dock was fun for fishing and launching kayaks that we rented just down the street. There's a bbq pit and picnic table and hammock and swing all great for watching the water and sunset.

Nostalgic Cedar Key w/All The Amenities You Could
Great place to stay, would highly recommend! Super cozy spot with a wonderful view. Diane was super hospitable. Couldn't have asked for a better location. Right on the water, which we were able to launch our kayaks out of (keep in mind high tide and low tide). Minutes from being right in downtown Cedar Key and all the amazing restaurants and food. Rental really has all the amenities you would need. Down to a grill, washer/dryer, etc. Lots of seating, even though it was only 2 of us on this getaway. Place was really well kept and smelled nice and clean upon arrival.
Would highly recommend. My wife and I have already talked about coming back in the future.
