Fisherman Paradise, Boater & Kayakers Dream, waterway to gulf (rate on 4 guest)
About this resort
Nestled in Cedar Key, this attractive resort for $291 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Fisherman and boater paradise. The base rate is on 4 guests, you can have up to 8 adults and two small children, additional cost for each guest over base number, which still makes it more affordable than renting multiple rooms elsewhere. So, you can be small group to large family or two families. This unique rental has so many special amenities. Located right on the main waterway which leads out to the Gulf of Mexico. This rental has three separate bedrooms, a den area referred to as the pelican room that has a flat screen tv Netflix only, a wraparound couch, sitting chairs, a separate large entertainment area, with 10 bar stools, additional seating, reclining couch and chair, flat screen tv Netflix & DVD player, a beer dispenser which can hold up to two kegs of beer, a fully functional kitchen with all the appliances and cookware. The main bedroom has a gorgeous view of the water, with a king size bed, sitting area and a separate closet. The second bedroom is large with two queen beds and dressers for each bed, plenty of room for additional blowup beds if needed. The third bedroom is quaint and quiet with a queen bed. There is a sitting area with full size desk that can be used as a work station, with access for internet connection to go online, browse the net or check email. There are two separate bathrooms toilet and sinks, two separate showers and change rooms. There is a large deck which overlooks the waterway, with gorgeous sunsets, and plenty of bird watching opportunities. There is also a floating dock for boating, fishing, and to launch your kayak. This property has three unique appeals, not really found anywhere else on the island! 1. A fisherman's paradise. You have direct waterway access to the gulf, depending on the size boat you may have to watch the tides when planning gulf access. Fishing right off the dock area. Boat launch nearby, you can tie your boat up to the floating dock right on the property. This unit is great for friends to get together and stay in one place to do your fishing excursion. 2. A boater & kayakers dream. Once again you have direct access to the gulf and surrounding islands and all the wetland areas. You can tie up your boat, and depart directly from this location with all your family members. Plenty of parking for guest and your boat trailer. This location is a nature lover's delight, with all natural beauty, scenic wetlands, all kinds of water fowl, and endless number of coves and islands to explore. 3. A family retreat. This vacation rental is large enough to have a good size family stay in one location (8-10 guest: no more than 8 adults and two small children) therefore avoiding the cost having to rent several rental units for you everyone to be together. Pricing has been figured on its ability to handle the larger numbers of guest, and visitors. There is large dining area. This unit is great for family friends to get together and stay in one place.

Love this low key island and this is a unique location that generates the vibe of Cedar Key. Who wouldn’t love staying in a bar that turned into a VRBO.

the inner bedroom with no windows is cramped for two adults and overheats (thermostat was tucked away in distant area hard to find. The shared bathrroms and showers require a close-knit family, not for the squeamish. But the deck and long bar/kitchen/dinign area made up for it all!

We had a great stay and I would like to come back some time in the future. Having the dock is a huge plus as we could keep our boat in the water for our whole stay. Once we learned how to navigate the channel we could easily access the gulf even at low tide, which was nice. We had a few questions during our stay and the owner was very prompt with responses. All in all, a great stay. Thank you!

We caught dozens of fish right out our back door.
Caught our own live shrimp and minnows for bait too right off the dock. Bring your own minnow trap & cast net. We were a party of nine, 6 adults and 3 kids. Had a blast!!!

This location is perfect if you're coming to cedar key and need space for your boat. Awesome location.

The biking around the area is amazing, and it’s so easy to get around everyplace. The traffic is minimal, and the people are respectful on the road. There are lots of places to kayak. We had planned on lots of kayak trips off of the rear dock, but since it’s a floating dock with no sloped entry, the entry was too difficult for some of our group. The kitchen was well equipped. The host was quickly responsive as we had a few questions.

Its plenty big enough with extra couches in addition to 4 beds. Kitchen is adequately stocked. It used to be a commercial building so we were a little confused when we arrived but the host called us back immediately to answer our questions.

Very enjoyable
The home was clean and just as advertised. I went to Cedar Key to fish and wasn't let down, I even caught a 37 inch red drum right off the deck.
Other members of our group went to Crystal river and Disney.
A great time was had by all.

Very neat property on the canal. The property slept 7 comfortably. The old bar area worked great for breakfast time feeding the kids.
Convenient to down town and the pier. Docked the boat all week on the floating dock and did great. Had to learn the mouth area of the canal going into the gulf during low tide. Would stay here again.

We all enjoyed the spaciousness and convenience of the unit. It’s clean, quiet, and has a lovely view from the outdoor patio. There were dolphins, and many bird species to see. Despite the facade (it looks like an office) we were delighted when we explored the inside rooms. Our dogs were happy with the tile floors and the AC works great! There are good instructions about the hot water heater and how to make it function. We love Cedar Key and will probably rent again. There is no yard except some grass around the parking area for the dogs. (We cleaned up after them, of course.)

Great property for a family of 6. Plenty of room to spread out. Fishing right off the back deck.
Loved it! Golf carts to get around. Adorable downtown area. Fishing, walking, restaurants, shops all less than half a mile.
House was clean and spacious. Owner was very helpful and responsive.
Spacious bedrooms. Master with beautiful water views. Huge deck in the water.

A terrific place for a small (4-6) family get away. We brought our kayaks, paddleboards and a canoe and enjoyed being able to put in off the floating dock. A sanctuary for sure with so much wildlife - from the deck we saw dolphins frolic and feeding, roseate spoonbills, american oystercatchers and so many more birds! On our paddle trips out to the gulf we saw rays and more dolphins. The sunrises are spectacular and the colors over the eastern sky at sunset are also very lovely. The evenings and early mornings are quiet at Fisherman's Paradise and the stars on a clear night are brilliant.The kitchen is well stocked and easy to work, the showers take some time to learn the hot water system but it is HOT, the beds are super comfortable and the sheets high quality as are the towels. A short walk and you are in the tourist hustle of Cedar Key. The gas station across the street has the basics - like beer and ice and chips. Otherwise bring your grocery needs.Just FYI - be aware there is not a place for large gatherings - the deck has only a high top and a picnic table and the kitchen/dining/ gathering room is really a bar (I presume left over from when this was an actual café.) There is a small tv viewing area with a sectional sofa that can hold 4 easy or 6 cozy. I would also bring extra blankets if you tend to like to snuggle or get a chill. The beds have sheets and a blanket but no bedspreads and no extra blankets were found in the dressers.Our family LOVED it and had a great time and would highly recommend!

It was secluded at the same time being within walking distance of great food and views. Could use a couple pieces of furniture updates.

My family amd I had a great time. The dock was great. We were able to get in and out even at low tide in our 24' hurricane. We Kept the boat at the dock for a week. Went scalloping near crystal river and we caught a huge black drum right off the dock not to mention all the other fish. We would definitely stay here again. Coffee on the deck in the morning overlooking the channel was wonderful.

Fishing Paradise
If you ever had the dream of living on the water this is the place for you. The property is great for fishing and kayaking. We even rented a boat and parked it at the floating dock. The entrance of rental took us by surprise but the interior and back deck were perfect. The side/outside of the property needs to be cleaned up a bit and I wish there were lights on the water so you could fish at night. However, it was a great place to stay. I recommend it if you’re looking for a low key vacation full of fishing fun.

Has anyone ever stayed in an Ole Fish House?

coping with an unfortunate situation
We did not stay at the property listed. Apparently the same property manager or owner had another property that was under renovations that was not finished and another party ended up occupying the listing we were supposed to occupy as a substitute before we arrived. Therefore we were offered another listing as a substitute two days before our scheduled trip. This was unfortunate because the substitute property, though very nice, was smaller and did not accommodate our needs in terms of space/bedrooms for the number of guests arriving. As a contractor myself, I understand unanticipated issues with building schedules. The property manager was very open and available for communication and probably did the best that could be done under the circumstances. The substitute property was quite nice, well furnished, and managed. The only real problem is that the substitute property did not meet our needs by virtue of being smaller and was somewhat more remotely located than we would have liked. Again, any comments about the property itself are not for this listing but rather, for the substitute.

OUTSTANDING
For what I was looking for this property was absolutely perfect. On of the biggest advantages was the truck and boat parking out front. There is plenty of room for two rigs to be parked out front. There was also water for washing the boats.
The interior was great as well. Everything we needed and really clean.
We will be back

Nice place for family
Great place for 8 people. However because of tides you cannot keep your boat in the water. Have to use the public ramp each time you want to put in which cost $15.00 each time.

Amazing family House
We had the best time “EVER”. We have stayed in many different places around Cedar key throughout the years since we make this our go-to Family destination a few times a year with our kids and this has by far been a wonderful stay and extremely accommodating. It was very clean and the views were breathtaking. My kids loved fishing every day off the docks and Richard was awesome. We asked for an early check-in and he was more than accommodating and to top that all off, we ended up experience a nasty storm one of the days ( which is normal for Florida) and he was just superb as far as helping us with anything we needed. When I read the reviews I was a little worried as for some of the other reviewers complaining about it being a restaurant that was converted into a home and I have to say, I thought that was the coolest part of the house. It is very open and there is more space than we needed for our big family. I have to say, if I had to complain about it would only be that I wish there was a TV in one of the other bedrooms so that my kids could watch TV while the adults had down time in the evenings and a vacuum that cleaned hardwood and tile floors because after a weeks say the floor got extremely sandy and it was a little too much to keep up with just having a broom on hand but other than that absolutely loved it and we will definitely be staying there many more years to come. Thank you Rick for everything. Can’t wait to stay there again!!!

In need of updates and an afterthought
This property use to be an old restaurant but it was not noted in the reservation information. With that being said this property has many unique qualities but many others that were afterthoughts. The showers are poorly installed and water leaks all over the floors causing a major tripping hazard. Instructions indicated not being able to turn the thermostat down past 74 degrees due to the unit freezing over....this is an issue when you have 8-10 people and a very active kitchen. Upon our arrival the floors were dirty and not swept or mopped. There was very limited kitchen equipment as well.
For the money we paid to stay at this location for a week I wish I would have stayed elsewhere.
The one positive was having our own dock which we enjoyed very much.

Great place central to anything you want to do near cedar key. Place is clean and offers plenty of room and amenities. Large deck for fishing or enjoying outdoors.
