The Edgewater ~ New Dock ~ Spectacular Sunrises ~ Lots of Wildlife ~ Waterfront

We have a new private dock with a deck to sit and enjoy the very interesting ever-changing back bayou...tons of birds, fish, propoises, and spectacular sunrises!! Watch the Ospreys call her mate, build a nest on our perch, lay eggs, sit on the eggs and the new baby ospreys. The male Osprey's brings live fish to the dock to feed the new Mom and baby ospreys. It's amazing, watch them learn how to fly!!

Bring your rod and reels and fish off of it! Or enjoy your morning coffee and enjoy the amazing sunrises. Watch the black drums tailing:)))

Come and enjoy the Edgewater, located within walking distance to downtown Cedar Key. Restaurants and shops start 300 yards from the house. Home is located on the Eastern Bayou, enjoy the tides rolling in and out, beautiful sunrises, lots and lots of coastal birds, jumping mullets, and the occasional porpoises in the channel. Large yard has old Live Oaks, swing, native palm trees and lots of hibiscuses. Great under house porch, provides lots of shade, there are swings and table and chairs for your enjoyment....a perfect place in sunny or rainy weather. There are 3 bedrooms, the Master bedroom has a King bed, 2nd bedroom has a full-size bed, 3rd bedroom has 2 twins. The kitchen and upstairs deck overlook the waterfront, and the large roomy living room has plenty of seating for your guest. There is excellent fishing on the flats for Trout, Spanish Mackerel and Redfish, offshore for Grouper and Snapper. Cast net for shrimp. House is conveniently located directly across the street from the Cedar Key Marina, and about 3 hundred feet from The D & W tackle and bait shop. Sidewalk from house goes all over town.

Very cute house in CK!

The house was clean and well furnished. The couches in the living room were a dream to sink into while watching a movie. But, the outside view was the best!!! Phenomenal property. You can easily walk downtown. Well stocked kitchen. I will definitely stay again.

Edgewater Stay

Wonderful little slice of old Florida. The Bayou this property overlooks is ever changing and we loved just sitting on the porch relaxing and watching the wildlife. It has all the amenities needed for a long or short stay. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the "Real Florida" that so many never take the time to see.

Super setting and great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Edgewater House. All the comfort of home and close proximity to sites and activities we wanted. The water view from the back yard was incredible offering great sunrise views and bird watching. Rosemary was super great at setting us up for our stay with her local staff, and we had everything we needed. We will definitely consider a future stay here.

Perfect Property Fish Group

This is the fourth time I’ve stayed at this location, and I’ll continue to stay at this location in the future. I bring my boat, this location is perfect for self supporting fish groups 4-5 people. Great location, nice clean house.

Great place to stay, be sure to rent carts with license plate, and bring solid coconut oil to rub on for the no seums. View is amazing, has a unique Tiki bar just down the street. Amazing sunset sets from their docks. House is perfectly located for tiki bar, grocery store and quick to get to dock street where everything is at. Just a great relaxing place to be!!

Great escape!

Lots of wildlife and beautiful sunrises are understatements. Bird watching and early morning coffee from the deck were a wonderful start to the day. The home is spacious with good room to congregate. Well equipped kitchen made meal prep easy. Close enough to walk to town. Homey atmosphere made it easy to settle in and relax. Communication with the owner was prompt, helpful, and helped contribute to the ease of our stay. We hope to return.

Great VRBO

We really enjoyed our stay in Rosemary's house on Cedar Key. I had been wanting to experience "Old School Florida" without the high rises and crowds. Cedar Key did not disappoint. Rosemary's house is exactly as advertised. She is a wonderful communicator and the check in process could not have been easier. The house is clean as a pin and has everything you could possibly need. It's a 5 minute walk to downtown and right across from a marina if you are into fishing. She made some great recommendations on food. My favorite happened to be Tony's Clam Chowder. It was the best I have ever had. About 30 minutes prior to sunset each night, we walked over to a great spot she recommended and saw some beautiful sunsets. I highly recommend her house.

Fantastic Trip

The property is well kept and beautiful scenery from the porch and deck. Plenty of room for boat and truck. Rosemary reached to us prior to our stay and was informative, helpful and available for questions or concerns. Loved the layout of the house, very spacious. Location of the property was perfect. Private yet close to town and the boat ramp. I would highly recommend this place to anyone whether a couple or a family. Fantastic trip !

Another perfect Cedar Key stay

My friends and I have been coming to Cedar Key in July for over 20 years. It is a special old place with lots of history and wild nature. The Edgewater was a perfect place to enjoy it. The property is well maintained, nicely appointed, and thoughtfully provisioned. You don't notice the highway on one side, unavoidable because Cedar Key is a tiny strip of land. The porch, kitchen, and deck made for good viewing of the marsh and its wild life. We saw redfish tailing, Osprey building a nest, Roseate Spoonbills, Laughing Gulls, Lousiana Herons, Great Blue Herons, White Ibis, Crows, Pelicans, and Black Crowned Night Herons. It would be a little bit of a haul to the shore. But you could launch a canoe or kayak from the property. But beware the muddy bottom, oysters, and low tide. That is Cedar Key. You can rent kayaks "downtown" and canoe the slightly deeper water and visit the original Cedar Key, Atsena Otie Key. We always dine at the Island Hotel our lst night. The meal is always fabulous. The owner Ms. Cooke was very responsive and darned charming.

Wonderful vacation destination

We had an amazing trip to the Edgewater. The property is not new, but well maintained and immaculate. There is every utensil you could possibly use, pots and pans, a stocked pantry and anything else you would need for an enjoyable stay. Rosemary is very helpful and responsive to messages. She is always available to give suggestions and help. I couldn't wait to get up every morning and sit out on the deck and drink my coffee with a spectacular view. There were many rosette spoonbills, Ibis and osprey. Watching them and the tides were amazing. We went for the 4th of July holiday and were very impressed with the fireworks at the beach. We loved walking around the downtown area. They have many restaurants and bars, shops and numerous water activities. We took the Cedar Key boat trip to Atsena Otie Island and spent the day on the beach. That was an awesome trip! Best $15 spent! The guys booked a charter on Breaking Nets with Brandon Burke. They really enjoyed that! Brought home specs for dinner. Be sure to rent a street legal golf cart or use the Tiki Taxi. That is the best way to get around. This was our second visit and cannot wait to go back. Thank you Rosemary for sharing your wonderful home.

A Jewel in Cedar Key!

Clean, charming, comfortable, quaint, and quiet. Includes a magnificent view from a beautiful porch- perfect for coffee and mimosas or afternoon cocktails. Convenient access to the water via a private dock. A paradise for birding (including a spectacular osprey nest platform), adorned with fabulous foliage(glorious hibiscus) and plenty of fish. Owners were abundantly accomdating, prompt, and thorough with their communication. Plenty of cathartic vintage Florida vibes. A perfect little weekend getaway spot for a couple or small group of friends. Give this one a try-your soul will thank you!

Nice quiet stay! Enjoyed the birds out back. Osprey, pelicans. My husband fished off the sock when the water was at high tide, and caught several small catfish. Rented a golf cart one fay and explored the island. Island hotel was really interesting! Robinsons was a good place to eat! Theres a cool little park located behind the cemetary. Would recommend! Host was quick to get back to us! Make sure to take extra toilet paper, as there was only what was left on the rolls. Bring bug spray. Once rhe grass was mowed midweek, the outside was so much better! Everything inside was pretty comfy, the bed and living area.
