The Tree House - amazing unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico from your deck!
Enjoy an unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico from your front porch. Sit on the large, shaded porch any time of day and watch the varied and vibrant wildlife frolic- Ospreys dive-bombing for fish while eagles try to steal them! Pods of dolphins patrol the waters for mullet. The Treehouse is a spacious two-bedroom stilt home in the heart of Cedar Key, located just an hour west of Gainesville and situated in the center of Florida's Nature Coast. It offers nature lovers unique bird watching with soaring eagles, ospreys, and migrating birds galore. It's a fishing paradise for fishermen of Redfish, Trout, Drum, and much more. Enjoy Robinson Crusoe vibes and an amazing, extremely relaxing location. The large screened-in front porch, built around two oak trees. A boat dock out back on the canal allows fisherman to keep their boats in the water (tidal). Catch fish and crabs for dinner right off your own dock. When the sun is setting, step out on the covered front deck to feel the breeze and enjoy the spectacular sunset view over the beautiful Gulf. You may see a school of dolphins cavorting in the cove right in front of you or even the swirl of a drum close enough to make you want to throw a line out. Cedar Key also offers outstanding local cuisine in its many casual dining restaurants. The natural beauty of Cedar Key and its slow pace allows visitors to feel what old Florida must have been like years ago, allowing for very restful vacations. Whether you want to relax, sit and read a book, kayak, fish, or just enjoy the diverse wildlife, the Treehouse is the perfect location. Everything in this "Old Florida" style fishing and clamming village is within easy close and biking distance. From The Treehouse, the walk to town and the city's beach is a leisurely 20 minutes along picturesque streets. Or in the other direction is a 15-minute walk to the small airport beloved by daily exercise walkers and pilots alike. The City Park offers a nice beach with a pavilion, outdoor showers, and all the necessary facilities to enjoy a pleasant Gulf side afternoon. Stroll around town and watch the crabbers checking their traps, fishermen bringing in their catch, and dolphins jumping from the water. Or take one of the many excursions offered by boat Captains off Dock Street to fish or sight-see the many islands that make up the Cedar Keys.

The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. We loved the peaceful view of the water and spent many hours enjoying the rocking chairs on the front porch. We enjoyed the colorful decor and the host’s thoughtful toiletry items and snacks. Would love to stay there again some time in the future.

Not too far from home already love Cedar key finally found a place that we can book again. Lovely home great location, beautiful view well-kept property.
This is a great place with old Cedar Key charm to it. The only minor gripe would be the bikes at the property (glad I brought my own bikes). The bikes on the property need some attention.
This was our first visit to Cedar Key...we LOVED the treehouse and the cute little town. Thanks for all of the great recommendations, we'll be back to explore more!💙

Wonderful place to stay for an extended weekend. Town and people very friendly. Loved the sunshine and the peace and quiet. Thanks for a great vacation.
We truly enjoyed our time at this quiet spot. Everything was organized and clean. The owner communicated a few times to make sure things were going well and no problems. Greatly appreciated and will recommend to anyone heading to that area
We absolutely adored her little piece of Heaven and the love put into all details!!Will be visiting again for sure!!!
