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.

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!

Great stay in great location

House had everything we needed for our trip! Cooked breakfast and lunch each day. Loved this affordable house to stay while visiting for the week. Safe area. Locals so friendly! Walked the short distance downtown for dinner each night (or across the street for a drink and/ or breakfast/lunch). Many restaurants were closed because of storm last fall, but hoping they rebuild soon. Love this sweet town!!

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.

We were only able to get away for one night but really enjoyed the comfortable accommodations at Blue Heron. The location was nice, fairly quiet and we felt completely safe. Had we been staying longer we would have found everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a full meal. We hope to be returning for a longer stay soon.

Close to perfect

The unit itself was perfect. It was immaculately clean,nicely decorated and had everything needed for a long or short stay. It was also conveniently located near a market, bait store, and restaurants. The listing does not mention that the unit is 23 stairs above the street. The signs on the front of the building announcing the presence of security cameras give the impression that the property is in a crime area. The check - in instruction requesting that renters not ask directions of retirees living on the property seemed odd

From the balcony we could see the spoonbills in the waterway across the street. Thought they were flamingos but were corrected by the locals. Quiet area, easy to find and close to downtown. Very enjoyable.

Nature Coast it is.

Positives; great location, quite, Negative backed up tub, was musty smelling could use an air freshener. Two screens up front were torn couldn’t open them, the coffee table needs to be repainted with a high gloss so it can be wiped down properly. All in all was a fun spot for quiet nature. The hosts were very prompt in responding to our concerns, thanks.

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.
