Was a pleasant stay. No complaints, just a suggestion:Move the no trespassing sign from the middle of the lot to the edge to make it easier for a boat to be backed into the sight.

As of right now, the spare lot is not in our renovation plans. But thanks for the feedback for when it is. Right now, we're focused on the building.

The property listed was only half of the top floor so being quiet was very important as to not bother other guests. The place was clean but hot when we first arrived and it took a while to cool off. The boat parking is plenty big for 2 trucks and trailers; however, we did not know that it is not attached to the property, which made us a little nervous. Overall, the stay was nice. If you need anything for your stay, get it before you get to the island. There is not much on the island.

Perfect, cozy, little getaway spot!

Property was as described and we were pleasantly surprised by how well maintained and clean it was. Great value for the price. Wonderful location- super close to downtown, golf cart accessible, across from a fantastic breakfast restaurant. Ample parking. Our unit shared a balcony with our neighbors but they were a great group of people. We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Lauren and Aric developed a passion for sharing the nature coast of their home state of Florida in 2020, when they started their hosting journey in Tarpon Springs. They're excited to have expanded into Cedar Key, where Lauren spent time as a child while visiting her grandmother, who has lived in nearby Chiefland, FL, her whole life.

Why they chose this property

Lauren and Aric LOVE sharing their properties with others, and providing a comfortable and stress-free stay. They also enjoy spending time in their properties themselves. In Cedar Key, they get to see Lauren's grandmother (who turned 90 in 2022) and her uncle, who live in Chiefland.

What makes this property unique

Blue Heron Nest offers two bedrooms and indoor, private laundry. There is also ample parking, as the hosts own a lot on the street.
