We enjoyed our stay at the Tyson House very much. The home is well furnished & beautifully decorated with many fabulous & location/period appropriate accessories. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of linens. The location is fantastic. The Cedar Key Historic Museum is just across the street. We rented a golf cart. Which was perfect because it was hotter than hades. The golf cart created a breeze & made parking & zipping around the island easy. Had breakfast at the 2nd Street Cafe one day, brunch at the Pickled Pear one day & Steamers for dinner. I’d recommend all three. We wanted to try 83/29, but it was raining the 2nd night & we were lazy & got takeout lol. My husband & I would definitely stay here again. I’ve already checked one weekend - it’s booked.

This house is furnished beautifully. Furniture is comfortable. Kitchen is up to date and has everything you could possibly want. The beds are comfortable. TheTV worked great too. The location is within walking distance to everything…..restaurants, shops and the water….well maybe you would want to drive to the Tiki Bar but you definitely want to visit it! Thank you for a memorable trip in a comfortable house.

We needed a short little get-a-way that would be relaxing and low key. This was the place. Had a wonderful time and the house was just lovely. It has so much character yet so comfortable at the same time. Would highly recommend the Tyson House.
