We’re incredibly grateful for your five-star review — thank you! Knowing you had a wonderful stay makes all the difference. We’d be happy to host you again anytime.
Extremely nice! One of the best rentals on the island. The great-room with the well-furnished kitchen, dining, and living area opened to a wonderful deck overlooking the bay. This house is new, clean, and fabulous for hosting a family gathering!

Thank you so much for your kind words. This house is located in such a great place on the island. We are glad you had such a great stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future!!
Absolutely amazing house to stay in, well insulated for cooler weather. The Management Company is very very responsive and a source of good information on Cedar Key. The house was clean, sheets were clean and everyone enjoyed staying there. My family and I will stay at this house again if we come back to Cedar Key. The Management Company made excellent suggestions on restaurants and shopping. So very easy to work with them, a true pleasure. Five Stars well deserved!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such kind words. Sounds like a great time was had by all. We do hope you and your family will be able to come back and stay with us in the future!!
The property is beautiful and seemed as if we were the first to even stay in it. The view of the bay is phenomenal and it is close to everything downtown. We did not have kids with our party but the bunk rooms are set up perfectly for multiple familes with kids. We will be staying here again when return to the area.

Thank you for your five-star review. We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted you had a positive experience. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
We loved our stay at Whispering Waves! One of the best stocked rentals for amenities we've encountered yet! The view of the water was wonderful and for our 4th CK visit was it's usual relaxing vacation. First time visiting friends of ours also loved the house & the area. The place was very clean, comfortable as well as lovely. Just make sure you are traveling with someone who can lug heavy coolers / luggage up lots of stairs.
