The Tree House - amazing unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico from your deck!

Enjoy an unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico from your front porch. Sit on the large, shaded porch any time of day and watch the varied and vibrant wildlife frolic- Ospreys dive-bombing for fish while eagles try to steal them! Pods of dolphins patrol the waters for mullet. The Treehouse is a spacious two-bedroom stilt home in the heart of Cedar Key, located just an hour west of Gainesville and situated in the center of Florida's Nature Coast. It offers nature lovers unique bird watching with soaring eagles, ospreys, and migrating birds galore. It's a fishing paradise for fishermen of Redfish, Trout, Drum, and much more. Enjoy Robinson Crusoe vibes and an amazing, extremely relaxing location. The large screened-in front porch, built around two oak trees. A boat dock out back on the canal allows fisherman to keep their boats in the water (tidal). Catch fish and crabs for dinner right off your own dock. When the sun is setting, step out on the covered front deck to feel the breeze and enjoy the spectacular sunset view over the beautiful Gulf. You may see a school of dolphins cavorting in the cove right in front of you or even the swirl of a drum close enough to make you want to throw a line out. Cedar Key also offers outstanding local cuisine in its many casual dining restaurants. The natural beauty of Cedar Key and its slow pace allows visitors to feel what old Florida must have been like years ago, allowing for very restful vacations. Whether you want to relax, sit and read a book, kayak, fish, or just enjoy the diverse wildlife, the Treehouse is the perfect location. Everything in this "Old Florida" style fishing and clamming village is within easy close and biking distance. From The Treehouse, the walk to town and the city's beach is a leisurely 20 minutes along picturesque streets. Or in the other direction is a 15-minute walk to the small airport beloved by daily exercise walkers and pilots alike. The City Park offers a nice beach with a pavilion, outdoor showers, and all the necessary facilities to enjoy a pleasant Gulf side afternoon. Stroll around town and watch the crabbers checking their traps, fishermen bringing in their catch, and dolphins jumping from the water. Or take one of the many excursions offered by boat Captains off Dock Street to fish or sight-see the many islands that make up the Cedar Keys.

This is a great place with old Cedar Key charm to it. The only minor gripe would be the bikes at the property (glad I brought my own bikes). The bikes on the property need some attention.

Best family vacation yet!

We loved our stay in Cedar Key. The Treehouse was a great fit for our family of 6. The owners thought of everything! (My kids forgot their toothbrushes and thankfully there were some there.) The screened in porch was my favorite spot in the evening and the front porch was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee. There are plenty of games to keep everyone entertained, bikes and fishing gear. Our kids enjoyed all the different sea life on the island and in the canal behind the house. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Sweet summer stay

The Peck family have a beautiful and well-appointed home that our family of 3 enjoyed over the 4th of July weekend. They had all the amenities our active family could need and even things we didn’t think of (like bug spray, bike helmets, and lots of toys for our 4 year old). Cassandra reached out ahead of time to make sure we knew everything we needed to know to get the most of our stay. The Pecks also left some thoughtful touches like the welcome basket and holiday decor. We had a great time and hope to come back for another visit!

Weekend getaway

This is one of the best short-term rentals I have ever booked. The host was prepared for everything- location maps for kayaking, recommendations for local sights/vendors, and snacks and all necessities stocked at the house for a much longer stay than I had booked. The house is so beautiful and the location is perfect. I wish I could retire there. Close enough to somewhere to eat and a little gas station for last minute needs, but separated enough to feel like we were away from everyday life. I had concerns about the location because of the recent hurricanes and, don’t get me wrong, cedar key is definitely still recovering, but this home is fully back to functioning; the house and property were everything I had hoped they would be.

Best views in Cedar Key

We sat, literally all day, on the couch in the living room, with the front French doors open, enjoying the view of the gulf and the easy salt water breeze. An amazing house and location for a couple or a family. This was our second time staying here and this time was just mom & dad - no kids. and it was just as cozy and fun and comfortable as the first time with all the kids here. Can't recommend highly enough!
