The Edgewater ~ New Dock ~ Spectacular Sunrises ~ Lots of Wildlife ~ Waterfront
We have a new private dock with a deck to sit and enjoy the very interesting ever-changing back bayou...tons of birds, fish, propoises, and spectacular sunrises!! Watch the Ospreys call her mate, build a nest on our perch, lay eggs, sit on the eggs and the new baby ospreys. The male Osprey's brings live fish to the dock to feed the new Mom and baby ospreys. It's amazing, watch them learn how to fly!!
Bring your rod and reels and fish off of it! Or enjoy your morning coffee and enjoy the amazing sunrises. Watch the black drums tailing:)))

Absolutely loved everything about this property and the owner had wonderful communication… I will without a doubt rebook this property.. Gorgeous views of the water and the baby ospreys….!!!
We love the edgewater house. We stay here every year for a guys fishing trip. It’s very comfortable for 4 grown men. The Napping in between fishing is amazing here.
Wonderful little slice of old Florida. The Bayou this property overlooks is ever changing and we loved just sitting on the porch relaxing and watching the wildlife. It has all the amenities needed for a long or short stay. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the "Real Florida" that so many never take the time to see.
Loved the sunrise view off the upper deck, &
staying in a house on stilts.
It was great walking distance to everything we
wanted to do. Everyone at Cedar Key was super
friendly. The fishing was great. Looking forward
to coming back & renting kayaks & a golf cart for getting around & parking easier.
Was so great to find this hidden gem. Close access to everything but a whole oasis out the back door. Watched a pair of ospreys build a nest and the best sunrises.
The property is well kept and beautiful scenery from the porch and deck. Plenty of room for boat and truck. Rosemary reached to us prior to our stay and was informative, helpful and available for questions or concerns. Loved the layout of the house, very spacious. Location of the property was perfect. Private yet close to town and the boat ramp. I would highly recommend this place to anyone whether a couple or a family. Fantastic trip !
Clean, charming, comfortable, quaint, and quiet. Includes a magnificent view from a beautiful porch- perfect for coffee and mimosas or afternoon cocktails. Convenient access to the water via a private dock. A paradise for birding (including a spectacular osprey nest platform), adorned with fabulous foliage(glorious hibiscus) and plenty of fish. Owners were abundantly accomdating, prompt, and thorough with their communication. Plenty of cathartic vintage Florida vibes. A perfect little weekend getaway spot for a couple or small group of friends. Give this one a try-your soul will thank you!

Nice quiet stay! Enjoyed the birds out back. Osprey, pelicans. My husband fished off the sock when the water was at high tide, and caught several small catfish. Rented a golf cart one fay and explored the island. Island hotel was really interesting! Robinsons was a good place to eat! Theres a cool little park located behind the cemetary. Would recommend! Host was quick to get back to us! Make sure to take extra toilet paper, as there was only what was left on the rolls. Bring bug spray. Once rhe grass was mowed midweek, the outside was so much better! Everything inside was pretty comfy, the bed and living area.
My friends and I have been coming to Cedar Key in July for over 20 years. It is a special old place with lots of history and wild nature. The Edgewater was a perfect place to enjoy it. The property is well maintained, nicely appointed, and thoughtfully provisioned. You don't notice the highway on one side, unavoidable because Cedar Key is a tiny strip of land.
The porch, kitchen, and deck made for good viewing of the marsh and its wild life. We saw redfish tailing, Osprey building a nest, Roseate Spoonbills, Laughing Gulls, Lousiana Herons, Great Blue Herons, White Ibis, Crows, Pelicans, and Black Crowned Night Herons. It would be a little bit of a haul to the shore. But you could launch a canoe or kayak from the property. But beware the muddy bottom, oysters, and low tide. That is Cedar Key. You can rent kayaks "downtown" and canoe the slightly deeper water and visit the original Cedar Key, Atsena Otie Key. We always dine at the Island Hotel our lst night. The meal is always fabulous.
The owner Ms. Cooke was very responsive and darned charming.
We had an amazing trip to the Edgewater. The property is not new, but well maintained and immaculate. There is every utensil you could possibly use, pots and pans, a stocked pantry and anything else you would need for an enjoyable stay. Rosemary is very helpful and responsive to messages. She is always available to give suggestions and help.
I couldn't wait to get up every morning and sit out on the deck and drink my coffee with a spectacular view. There were many rosette spoonbills, Ibis and osprey. Watching them and the tides were amazing.
We went for the 4th of July holiday and were very impressed with the fireworks at the beach. We loved walking around the downtown area. They have many restaurants and bars, shops and numerous water activities. We took the Cedar Key boat trip to Atsena Otie Island and spent the day on the beach. That was an awesome trip! Best $15 spent! The guys booked a charter on Breaking Nets with Brandon Burke. They really enjoyed that! Brought home specs for dinner.
Be sure to rent a street legal golf cart or use the Tiki Taxi. That is the best way to get around. This was our second visit and cannot wait to go back. Thank you Rosemary for sharing your wonderful home.
