About this property

Osprey Nest- Historic Cedar Key. Pet Friendly!

The Osprey Nest is located in downtown Cedar Key within walking distance to local shops and restaurants! Osprey Nest is a short walk to a local strip of beach on the Gulf, a perfect location to relax and watch the sunset. Pet friendly of one dog and plenty of room for boat/trailer parking.
This large and open home features three separate living spaces to spread out and relax after a long day on the water or exploring the town. Unwind in the home's sunroom with a glimpse of the Gulf of Mexico. The kitchen is large and spacious with an island. It is fully stocked with cooking amenities for your use. The home features two bedrooms each with queen sized beds and ensuite bathrooms. A sofa in the living room provides a third queen sized sleeper. The third hallway bathroom is located off of the sunroom.
The Osprey Nest gets its name from one of Cedar Key's most famous resident birds. They build massive nests in many locations around town and you may be able to view one nesting close by the house.
Osprey Nest is a completely updated and remodeled historic home dating back to the early nineteen hundreds. Years of history have accumulated here. During World War II the house was used temporarily as a barracks to house soldiers.

Wonderful holiday stay
We spent our holiday in Cedar Key. We fished, shopped, ate, and spent a lot of time with family and friends. This house served our group well, and we were all comfortable and happy. It’s also pet friendly:)

Quiet, comfortable, and accessible
An enjoyable 5-10 minute walk to town. Not a great view of the water from the house compared to many other houses you could rent, but the little back sunroom does offer a pleasant limited view of the water and has a nice dockside diner vibe... nice spot for coffee and breakfast. The house is spacious and has a great floorplan for 3 pairs of adults. Be aware that the wall dividing the master bedroom from the living room and kitchen area does not extend all the way up to the ceiling, so noise from the kitchen and living room is loud and clear in the master bedroom, and vice versa. Otherwise a great little property. All I wanted was a place that offered accessibility to town and was a comfortable place to stay between going out and about - this place exceeded my expectations.

Wish I could have stayed longer
After some confusion at check in, all went very well. The only problem I see with the property is that the master bathroom has almost no ventilation and the oscillating fan has to run at all times to make it somewhat comfortable in there.
