You have to see Sunset Harbor Vacation Rental to believe it. This window filled end unit townhouse offers a panoramic view of the quaint village of Cedar Key, the Gulf of Mexico and the islands of the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge. Located adjacent to the City Park beach you have an unobstructed view of the entire beach that is only a two minute walk from the rental.
Sunset Harbor is a townhome so staying here will give you the added cardio benefit of stairs. You enter from the ground level and up a flight to the two bedrooms and bath. The spacious waterside master bedroom has a king size bed plus a private balcony on the Gulf with dolphin views (dolphins daily do their frolicking just off shore of your bedroom).
The Guest bedroom here is equipped with three twin size beds (two bunks and one individual twin.) This room has glass french doors.
The Bathroom has tub/shower combo sink and toilet and plenty of towels.
Now up the stairs to the top floor and main living area where you are sure to be awed by not only the furnishings of the place but also by the panoramic view of the Sea and Village and the beach and the islands. Really its that cool. Promise.
This top level is all tile floor, cathedral ceilings and more glass that you can imagine stretching all the way to the very high ceilings.
The Living room is comfortable and spacious and affords a Gulf view from every where. The kitchen is spacious and includes a dining table for gathering. The counter tops are granite and the kitchen has all the appliances, both large and small. There is also a half bath up here.
In addition to all this is something quite unusual. Pull down a retractable stairway and climb up to a balcony where you find a queen size bed. The ceiling here is a window lined pergola with glass as the end wall. Sleep here and you literally sleep with the stars. A note of importance is called for here. Even though this additional bed gives the indication that more than 6 guests can be accommodated here we strictly enforce a maximum rule of 6 guests only. No more. Please do not allow more than 6. Additionally please do not allow children to sleep unattended on the balcony platform bed. The danger of falling is too great to take the risk. Remember this is a balcony overlooking the kitchen and living room and it has no walls. Only rails separate the bed from a possible fall. Thanks for your co operation here.
Sunset Harbor is just what the name implies. We overlook a beautiful harbor of Cedar Key where the working waterfront is in constant activity from the clammers, oystermen and fisherman bring in their daily harvest. We look directly west for spectacular sunsets over the harbor and the village of Cedar Key. We make a promise that you will be thrilled with the place and the panoramic view.
Note: Currently, No washer / dryer.
We need to make you aware of the parking at Sunset Harbor. There are seven townhouses here in a row. If you have a compact car or golf cart then you can park in the breezeway under the house. (by the way here under the breeze way is also where you will find the laundry room).
Being the end unit Sunset Harbor unit just needs to be respectful and not block the folks at the Cottage that is close by. You must share the space by not blocking the vehicle from this cottage. Otherwise if you have an additional vehicle you can park in the grassy area across the parking lot from the townhomes.
The rule here is `be a good neighbor and in most cases they will be good right back`.
Book Sunset Harbor for your vacation. Cedar Key will welcome you with outstretched arms. You`ll not believe how cool this place is.

Absolutely loved my stay here at Cedar Key, definitely a place to go to relax and recharge. The unit was just as described, clean and beautifully updated. It does get a little warm in the unit, but nothing a small fan can’t fix! The view was absolutely amazing, enjoyed watching dolphins from the balcony pretty much all day every day! Very short walk to the beach and small downtown area. Would definitely stay again!
The property is just beautiful with an incredible view. I wish that there were two full bathrooms rather than one and a half and I missed having a washer and dryer. A washer and dryer could be put on the bottom floor as you walk in. But otherwise, we enjoyed so much the location and the decor. We had friends over for breakfast one morning and we enjoyed the dining table in the kitchen Very nice!
Beautiful place. Delightful sea life to watch any time of day. Had everything we needed, clean, very updated decor. Cedar Key is super chill. We love it!
This townhouse was just right for our group vacation. The location was perfect - everything within walking distance. The firework show for New Years blew us away!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Watching the dolphins from the bedroom in the mornings was an incredible experience. Also, the location is great - restaurants/shopping are very close by. Would definitely recommend!
Nice large living room with two different views of beach and ocean. There were some small issues but nothing that impacted our stay negatively. We would return!
We had a great time in Cedar Key! We enjoyed seeing the dolphins everyday right off the balcony. A short walk to all restaurants and shops! Could not have asked for a better location!!
Was a wonderful time! Loved the views of the water and the beach. The dolphins visited very frequently.
The A/C did stop working due to not draining but we opened all windows up and were lucky with a breeze. We will be back!
Planned a short family getaway in Cedar Key and this condo was perfect! The location could not be any better. It's within walking distance to all things "downtown." It was clean and well stocked. The host weas very helpful as well. Can't wait to visit again!
We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Harbor. It was beautiful. The description and pictures are exactly what you can expect. Great communication, location and the place was very clean. We would love to return some day.
We never anticipated the beautiful views of the water, the dolphins, and the variety of sea birds. So relaxing, no matter the time of day.
And being right on the water's edge was perfect.
The place is well equipped, comfortable, and the loft bed was fun for our 14 year old granddaughter. The staff was very responsive with all our questions.
The location of this property is fabulous! It was clean & cozy and we loved the balconies and views. The kitchen was well stocked with the equipment you need for making meals but you need to purchase spices and such. There are 3 floors of stairs and they are narrow - we are in shape so that wasn't an issue but could be for others. The loft bed could be such a great spot but maybe best for the young or those who can handle such a ladder in the middle of the night. We didn't use the bedroom with the twin beds so I can't attest to their comfort. The master bed could use an upgrade but we both have slight back issues so maybe not everyone agrees. However, we plan to return as we truly loved it!!!
Perfect Location, and incredible views from both floors.... Bed was not made when we got there, but that was OK since we brought our own linens and comforter. I then found the sheets in the dryer so that explained why the bed had not been made. We are in our mid 60's and in good shape so the stairs were not a problem for us, but they are steep and narrow so if you are big and or not able to handle the cardio then I would not recommend this particular condo/townhouse. I do wish that there was a TV in the master bedroom, but that is only a minor inconvenience. McCormick Management are easy to get in touch with and everyone that I spoke to was super nice. Overall a really great place to say, and probably one of the best views on the island.

Stunning views and fantastic bird and dolphin viewing however the apartment itself was very dirty we had to clean the tv screen to be able to watch it there was trash under the sofas and beds the plates and cups had dried food on them we had to sanitize everything before we could use it, it was tastefully furnished and comfortable but the hvac unit unbearably noisy and we had to leave a day early as we couldn’t sleep because it being so noisy, the queen bed with the pull down steps sounded very appealing however it was a quite wobbly ladder and none of us personally were able to make it up there and wouldn’t want to be tackling it in the night to use the bathroom, it may not be an issue for someone else be aware it could be for some, the little town is adorable and food and drink extremely good value for money lovely friendly people everywhere we would definitely return but perhaps not to this accommodation
