Cedar Key Family Vacay

Had a great trip in low-key Cedar Key. Location was great and fun to drive golf carts to restaurants. Condo was well equipped and lay out was great for us and our two teens. Loved sitting out on porches for peaceful reading and morning coffee! Condo isnt brand new but had all we needed for great vacation. My parents stayed in other condo on opposite side which was perfect.

Great location

Amazing location. Unit was ok. Great floorplan. - decor was overwhelming and excessive- no where to sit anything down. Every surface is covered with dusty nicknacks - ac didn't keep guest room over garage cool - not enough wash clothes - kitchen and cooking items dirty - no sheets for sofa bed (sofa bed very old and uncomfortable

Recharge Weekend

My husband and I needed a weekend away to recharge, this was a perfect place. Quite and peaceful away from the busy part of town but so close as well. The condo was perfect, clean and in a great location. The dock was amazing to go out and sit, when tide was out you can see all kinds of critters in the water. An extra bonus was the Golf Cart that was avail. Well worth the money, we parked out truck and only drove the golf cart all over the island. Make sure at sunset you head to the landing strip AMAZING view!! We will definitely be back!!

Great private location

The kids loved having their own room in their own hallway. Master bedroom was very comfortable. We liked the look of the newer or more kept up places next to us, but we had a lot of privacy compared to them. Inside could use some updating, but we still enjoyed it. Kids put together a puzzle they provided and we had coffee on the balcony. We live an hour south and usually just go for lunch but this place provided a great little “stay cation” would stay at again.

True Serenity

Absolutely loved our stay at Serenity by the Sea . The townhome is very comfortable and has a great view of the water. Everything was just as the description, with a whimsical pirate and mermaid theme. The location is central to all of the restaurants and shops, just a 15 minute walk or a 3 minute drive. Cedar Key is quaint and friendly, perfect for relaxing and slowing down.

Nice but could Need some updating.

The townhouse was mostly as described on the website. Some of the lights were burned out, clock was inop.. Staff at the management office aren't overly friendly and the maid came into the property to clean before we checked out so when we went back after breakfast, we couldn't use the bathroom. Screen on the master bedroom balcony was torn, impossible to sit out there at night due to the biting bugs. As one guest described, there's nowhere to set anything down due to knick knacks everywhere. My key didn't work but the 2nd key did. Overall we were happy, but little things made us think that we won't reserve this exact townhouse again. I did not get the impression that staff would care if I mentioned the faults. Not that we were going to use the supplied grill, but it was left dirty from a previous guest. With the faults, I don't feel like giving more than 3 stars. There are some nicer accommodations for just a little more money closer to town. This property is quiet though, and has a beautiful relaxing view. Bugs bite through the hole in the screens at Sunset. Ugh.

Cedar - Gulf View

What a cool and amazing property. The decor was so much fun! We kept seeing new things every day. It’s great for kids to explore. The condo is comfy and cozy and has a layout that allows some time out space for everyone. Would definitely recommend for a fun getaway.
