If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, this Rye Key house is the place for you. Located in Cedar Key, Rye Key is a small gated community of fewer than 15 houses. Our house offers the ultimate in quiet and privacy. It is located on a short street with only two other houses and on a lagoon shared with only one other house. Although every room has many windows, curtains seem unnecessary for privacy. This quiet privacy is only two miles from the historic commercial area of Cedar Key, easily reached by car, golf car or bicycle.
The light-filled, tile-floored house features two bedrooms separated by a great room. Each bedroom has a queen size bed, bathroom, sliding glass doors and a small covered porch. The great room has a living area with leather furniture, a dining area and a sun porch with a wall of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water. The fully equipped kitchen is separated from the great room by a bar with stools.
There are porches on both the land and water sides of the great room. A private dock allows access to the water. Fish for red fish, kayak, canoe or simply sit and watch the tide change. The lagoon is home to many varieties of birds, including herons, egrets and osprey. Mullet jump, catfish and stingrays swim in the shallows, the big red fish feeds on the oyster bars and, occasionally, a dolphin visits.

We had a wonderful time during our stayThanksgiving week at your house. Everything was just as was described in the review of the house plus more. The view was wonderful and so relaxing. We sat in the rockers looking out the windows and watched the mullet jump and boats pass by. Our little dog even liked watching the birds out the low windows. This will not be our last trip to Cedar Key. We fell in love with the town! We did not find one local person that was not willing to help us with any information we needed and everybody in the entire town was extremely friendly.

My husband & I spent our 10th anniversary here and it was exactly what we were looking for! Relaxing, but there was plenty for us to do - biking, canoeing, checking out the shops downtown, going out do dinner. And, the house was wonderful! It was plenty big for the 2 of us, I'm sure we could have fit many more in the house. We would definitely recommend this house/location and would like to return.

My wife and I spent a week in this Heron House in April 2010. It has everything you need for a get away from the trials and tribulations of our workaday life. The bird life was fantastic the evening roost of the Ibis and 'our' Osprey who would eat his catch in the pine trees adjacent to the house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our days in your beautiful home in Cedar Key. It was exactly what we wanted – secluded, scenic, quiet and full of wildlife. We really enjoyed the sunsets on the dock! Thank you for sharing and letting us rent your property.
