About this property

Blue Heron * Boat Parking * Downtown * Water View

Blue Heron Nest is a 2-bedroom remodeled and beautiful apartment with water views in downtown Cedar Key, less than a 10-minute walk to Dock Street!

This 2nd floor unit offers two bedrooms with queen beds, Wifi, smart TVs in both living room and master bedroom, kitchen w/ full stove, fridge, and microwave, coffee maker, toaster, pots/pans, dining table, and washer/dryer. There's also a sizable dining table with plenty of space for 4. Perhaps the most sought-after amenity is the parking, which is right out front with a private overflow lot located a very short walk from the building. Just ask about boat trailer parking!

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 Blue Heron was just as the listing described, it was cozy, very clean and near the downtown area. The abundance of cameras on the property was interesting and somewhat understandable for this industry but the "active" camera directly above the sitting area on the front porch made us a bit "big brother is watching" uncomfortable.
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 7 Oct 2025
We have worked hard to disclose not only the presence of cameras, but their locations as well. Thanks for calling attention to the security. Note that they're there both for guest and property protection! Naturally, we only want guests who are completely 100% OK with this system.

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.

Comfortable space with Convenient location and parking

Well maintained, affordable and comfortable with designated parking, conveniently located in sight of Annie’s, a beloved spot frequented by locals for breakfast and lunch that additionally boasts a full bar. Well worth the 23 steps to get upstairs and enjoy the porch swing and the laid back vibe of Cedar Key.

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.
