Cedar Key Florida Rentals Gulf of Mexico Vacations

Welcome to Tranquility - our DSL-equipped waterfront vacation condo on the Gulf of Mexico in Cedar Key Florida. Enjoy Florida without the mouse!

Our third floor (top floor!), north-facing, corner condo has a private balcony, gourmet kitchen, king and queen bedrooms, and two baths set in a small, quiet, condo complex. Furnishings were chosen to impart a feeling of peace and tranquility to complement the breathtaking panoramic views of Florida's Nature Coast.

Tranquility is equipped for your comfort and convenience. Professionally and luxuriously decorated, enjoy our laid back environment - relax and forget your daily cares.

Our private balcony offers a stunning view of small mangrove islands, Wacassassa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy the sunrise every morning. Sip a drink while watching the summer sunsets. Pull-down bamboo shades and a ceiling fan are provided for comfort in the late afternoons. We enjoy breakfast and dinner on the balcony while watching the birds on the flats. At high tide, we're often visited by dolphins as they fish along the shore.

LIVING AREA
Our living room offers a vaulted ceiling, a comfortable queen sleeper sofa, a love seat and wicker chair for relaxing in front of the (cable) 27 inch TV/DVD. A small, eclectic library of videos/dvds pleases most tastes. We also have a library of books, magazines, puzzles, and games for quiet entertainment.

TECH AREA
Our Tech Area offers a PC connected to the Internet via DSL for guest use! Or bring your laptop and use our DSL connection (both wired or wireless). A desk with telephone, dual phone jacks, 17 inch monitor, keyboard, and a fax/printer/scanner complete the office amenities. A three CD Stereo system with a collection of CDs awaits you.

DINING/KITCHEN
Tranquility's dining room seats six comfortably. Table service for eight, along with plenty of glassware and serving dishes are provided to serve up your feast in style!

This self-catering kitchen is furnished for the gourmet cook. We love to cook and eat-in often. There are plenty of good quality pots and pans, baking pans, including a pizza pan. A full set of utensils, gadgets, and measuring tools are also waiting for your cooking magic. We've stocked a set of spices and a very basic pantry for guest use. Some favorite recipes are included in our book and a few cookbooks are available. A coffeemaker, bean grinder, blender, toaster oven, George Foreman grill, slow cooker, and microwave complete the kitchen. And yes, we have a tea kettle.

BEDROOMS
The master bedroom suite offers a king-size bed with a Sealy mattress (firm with pillow-top), two nightstands, lamps, dresser and walk-in closet. The master bath is spacious with an over-sized counter, tub and shower.

The guest bedroom has a queen size bed (Sealy mattress - firm with pillow-top), two nightstands, lamps, dresser, and closet. The guest bedroom has a full bath off the hallway.

OTHER CONVENIENCES
Full linens are provided - two sets of sheets for each bed, comforters, and many extra pillows and blankets. Towels for six guests are provided. Pool towels and kitchen linens are also stored in the linen closet.

The laundry room has a stacked condo-sized washer and dryer and basic cleaning tools. A secure fishing pole storage rack is on the balcony along with beach toys and a couple of beach chairs in the storage box. The thermostat for setting heat and air-conditioning is guest-controlled. Ceiling fans are provided in every room.

The condo complex is small and resort-like. A private fishing dock with freshwater fish cleaning station is available for our guests' use. A swimming pool and jacuzzi are terrific for relaxing. Boat and trailer parking are available on a "first come first serve" basis. The town beach and park are a short 1 block walk with plenty of swings and other playground equipment.

CEDAR KEY AREA
Surrounded by the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Cedar Keys consist of dozens of islands or keys. About twelve of these islands are reserved as a part of the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge and several are designated as "wilderness areas". The refuge boasts some of the largest numbers of nesting birds in Florida. You will see a variety of birds year round - if you'd like to see a list of common birds, visit our website listed below.

Cedar Key is old Florida at its best. There are no chain stores and most "traffic" is on foot, golf carts, or boats being launched at the marina. You can easily walk to the restaurants and shops - no car is needed. The marina (1.5 blocks) features boat and kayak rentals and there are plenty of tour operators happy to take you on a wildlife or sunset cruise. Bicycle, scooter, and golf cart rentals are also available.

Fishing is a favorite with redfish, sea trout, grouper, spanish mackerel and whiting being the primary catch. Inshore and offshore fishing are popular - bring your boat or rent one at the marina.
