Kayak Cove: Bayfront with dock - A paddle in / paddle out resort

Welcome Kayak Cove, a charming waterfront stilt home located on Rye Key! This cozy retreat features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, making it perfect for families or groups of up to 6 guests.

As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by the spacious living room with cathedral ceilings, which provide an airy and open atmosphere. Windows are everywhere, flooding the space with natural light and offering stunning water views that will make you feel like you're floating above the island.

The living area is perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing with loved ones. From the big outdoor deck, you can hear the soothing rustle of the palm trees in the wind, making it the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail.

The large kitchen is fully equipped for your convenience. The Master bedroom is comfortable and also has a private bath with a Jacuzzi bath tub/shower.

Kayaking at Kayak Cove is an adventure. You're located on a canal that joins a larger bay that eventually leads to many miles of open gulf and sheltered mangrove coves. Paddle along the shoreline of the the main island, round the point of Rye Key and the great expanse before you is the Gulf of Mexico. Here is estuary-where the land meets the sea. Mangrove are dominant. Salt marshes are magnificent and nature is in charge of the world. Dolphins, Eagles, White Pelicans, Raccoons, and myriad of other land aquatic wildlife live in these sheltered waters. Bring your camera and your kayak for all this is here at the doorstep of the Kayak Cove vacation rental.

The Cedar Key State park is only a few blocks away. The neighborhood is quiet and the stars at night are bright and clear. The only sound might be our neighborhood Owl. In fact, it’s so peaceful here you might forget you’re only a 7 minute drive to restaurants, cafes, and shops of downtown Cedar Key.

For those who enjoy fishing, you can do so right from the private dock. The home also features a convenient fish cleaning table. And if the tide is right and you're feeling adventurous, you can even kayak from the home to the Tiki Bar!

When it's time to retire for the night, you'll find one queen bed and 4 cozy bunk beds, making it perfect for families or groups of friends.
