About this property

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.

Weekend getaway

This is one of the best short-term rentals I have ever booked. The host was prepared for everything- location maps for kayaking, recommendations for local sights/vendors, and snacks and all necessities stocked at the house for a much longer stay than I had booked. The house is so beautiful and the location is perfect. I wish I could retire there. Close enough to somewhere to eat and a little gas station for last minute needs, but separated enough to feel like we were away from everyday life. I had concerns about the location because of the recent hurricanes and, don’t get me wrong, cedar key is definitely still recovering, but this home is fully back to functioning; the house and property were everything I had hoped they would be.

Great Experience

We had a great experience staying in the tree house over Christmas break. It truly had everything we needed and wanted for a relaxing Cedar Key stay. We loved the view from the front porch and the fire pit. We also really enjoyed to screen porch. Highly recommend this property.

Ideal location

My husband and I enjoyed walking everywhere-to the airport, to the market and the pier. We also enjoyed kayaking out into the Bayou. The view was wonderful and the neighborhood was very quiet. Everyone that we met was very friendly and Cassandra was quick to respond if we needed her.

Such a great place!

View of the Gulf. Access to the Gulf via a canal from a fantastic dock. But the dock and back yard also have a great fire pit (and wood), swings, bar, Adirondack chairs and night lighting. Excellent quality kayaks and bikes for all ages. The house is built to take advantage of outdoor living. Covered open front porch and screened side porch so it can be enjoyed, rain or shine (with a tv, and another bar). Best stocked and equipped place we ever stayed. We enjoy cooking and we did 4 out of 7 nights and wanted for nothing. Our favorite rental home, and we've rented many.

Unplug and Relax

This was our first time using Vrbo and our first time staying in Florida. My wife and I absolutely loved the house, the view, and the short golf cart ride into town. Once we checked in, we put away our car keys, put down our cell phones, and just enjoyed the easy pace of vacation. We slept great on the bed. We ate downtown at several spots, which were all terrific. And a nice short ride to Annie’s Place for breakfast and coffee was terrific. You can easily launch the kayaks right off the backyard. Also, the mountain bikes are terrific to take around the entire neighborhood for sightseeing and some exercise. We highly recommend a trip to the Treehouse and Cedar Key!

Weekend Getaway

Perfect place to meetup with our son from FSU. Wish we had more time. The Treehouse was perfect for us. We enjoyed biking around the neighborhood and hanging out in the yard. We ended up renting a golf cart from a place in town because Bob was not very responsive. Which was same price and worked out great. The town is still recovering from the hurricane. We are from Clearwater so we can appreciate that need for tourist to spend during that time. Cute place and we will definately be back. We did not get to kayak but we will next time for sure. Thank you Peck Family for sharing your home.

Lovely Easter stay

The Tree House is a lovely home! The view looking out to the Gulf is beautiful. The Pecks provided everything we needed and more! Communication was excellent; actually I can’t think of anything that wasn’t. Our family of four wanted to get away for a few days. Although we live only 2.5 hours away, we hadn’t been to visit Cedar Key as a family for several years. Our college-age “kids,” (son and daughter) joined us from Gainesville and Tampa, and we spent a relaxing, memorable Easter weekend together. They had a lot of school work but were able to get assignments done (great wifi) and still make time for some fun. Having our dogs with us made the stay even more special. They miss the kids and vice versa (not that we don’t!)! Thanks to the Peck family for a great stay! We’ll definitely be back.

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.

Best family vacation yet!

We loved our stay in Cedar Key. The Treehouse was a great fit for our family of 6. The owners thought of everything! (My kids forgot their toothbrushes and thankfully there were some there.) The screened in porch was my favorite spot in the evening and the front porch was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee. There are plenty of games to keep everyone entertained, bikes and fishing gear. Our kids enjoyed all the different sea life on the island and in the canal behind the house. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Sweet summer stay

The Peck family have a beautiful and well-appointed home that our family of 3 enjoyed over the 4th of July weekend. They had all the amenities our active family could need and even things we didn’t think of (like bug spray, bike helmets, and lots of toys for our 4 year old). Cassandra reached out ahead of time to make sure we knew everything we needed to know to get the most of our stay. The Pecks also left some thoughtful touches like the welcome basket and holiday decor. We had a great time and hope to come back for another visit!

Best views in Cedar Key

We sat, literally all day, on the couch in the living room, with the front French doors open, enjoying the view of the gulf and the easy salt water breeze. An amazing house and location for a couple or a family. This was our second time staying here and this time was just mom & dad - no kids. and it was just as cozy and fun and comfortable as the first time with all the kids here. Can't recommend highly enough!
