Adequate for a relaxing weeknd

Overall, I was pretty pleased with the house. A few comments… I’ve stayed at 7-8 VRBOs and always directly directly with the host/owner. This house is managed by a commercial firm, somewhat of a “corporate America” firm in my view. I had to laugh wh...

Gulfview Getaway

Wonderful sunsets and perfect place for a quiet getaway. The dock and deck is the jewel of this VRBO if you love being close to nature. We enjoyed the breezes off the bayou/gulf and the aquatic life that visited every day. The bungalow was just as de...

Destination guide

See another side of Florida in Cedar Key

Located on Florida’s lush Nature Coast, Cedar Key is a calm, colorful island community. Several islands make up the Cedar Keys, which include large areas of wildlife refuge. From the incredible birdwatching and salty ocean waters to diverse marine life, this destination is more than ideal for nature lovers. Among the cute seaside businesses and stilt houses, you can find the town’s local art. If you secure one of the Cedar Key vacation rentals for a week in the spring, you might be lucky enough to see the town’s juried art festival.

Things to do

The best of Cedar Key art and history

Wondering what to see in Cedar Key beyond the stunning outdoors? Use a stay at one of the Cedar Key vacation rentals as an excuse to see some one-of-a-kind art. Cedar Keys has local art galleries to peruse, and the town hosts the prestigious annual Cedar Key Fine Arts Festival in the Spring. To learn more about this island community’s history, stop by the quaint Historical Society Museum and the Cedar Key Museum State Park. The latter museum has the St. Clair Whitman House, which gives visitors a sense of what life was like in the 1920s.

Natural features

Cedar Key is a jewel on the Nature Coast

Thanks to the National Wildlife Refuge, Cedar Key is one of the best places to observe the wondrous Nature Coast wildlife. The refuge includes 13 islands in the Gulf of Mexico and was originally created to protect migratory birds. Marine life abounds, and you might just see some dolphins off shore. Fisherman come for all around to take advantage of Cedar Key red fishing. To their delight, the island’s grassy and shallower waters attract huge schools of red fish.
