Perfect location, beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay at the Tyson House very much. The home is well furnished & beautifully decorated with many fabulous & location/period appropriate accessories. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of linens. The location is fantastic. The Cedar Key Historic Museum is just across the street. We rented a golf cart. Which was perfect because it was hotter than hades. The golf cart created a breeze & made parking & zipping around the island easy. Had breakfast at the 2nd Street Cafe one day, brunch at the Pickled Pear one day & Steamers for dinner. I’d recommend all three. We wanted to try 83/29, but it was raining the 2nd night & we were lazy & got takeout lol. My husband & I would definitely stay here again. I’ve already checked one weekend - it’s booked.

The location is within walking distance to everything…..restaurants, shops and the water….well maybe you would want to drive to the Tiki Bar but you definitely want to visit it! Thank you for a memorable trip in a comfortable house.

Great house, great location!

We needed a short little get-a-way that would be relaxing and low key. This was the place. Had a wonderful time and the house was just lovely. It has so much character yet so comfortable at the same time. Would highly recommend the Tyson House.

Cedar key trip

Always easy and we love the location. Golf cart was out for repair but we were able to get one down the road. Love the covered porch now! I’d like to buy the old palm tree sitting on the back porch the past two times I’ve been there. It need repaired and I could restore it! Please let me know.

Long weekend in Cedar Key

Great location and a beautiful little property. Only issue was the lack of cleanliness and proper pest control. I'm a Floridan, born and raised, so palmetto bugs don't really bother me but this was excessive. The back bathroom and kitchen had literal swarms of them. We disposed of 15 in the first 2 hours of arrival and then another 6 the following day. Luckily there was a can of indoor raid under the sink we were able to use and that helped. I informed the property manager immediately and then had the pest control company respray as soon as we left so hopefully the next guest won't have to deal with it. Fortunately, we spent most of the day on the water or around town but the bugs and general lack of cleanliness made it very difficult to want to stay in the property. We won't stay at this specific property again but we will use this property manager for our next trip because of their quick response and service in making things right.
