About this property

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:)))

Come and enjoy the Edgewater, located within walking distance to downtown Cedar Key. Restaurants and shops start 300 yards from the house. Home is located on the Eastern Bayou, enjoy the tides rolling in and out, beautiful sunrises, lots and lots of coastal birds, jumping mullets, and the occasional porpoises in the channel.

Fantastic Trip

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 !

Edgewater Stay

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.

Another perfect Cedar Key stay

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.

Wonderful vacation destination

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.

A Jewel in Cedar Key!

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.

Wonderful 4 night stay!

The view from the upstairs porch was so serene ! (There was a full moon at night that shone on the bayou... Wow! ) The downstairs patio was great for grilling and a different view of the bayou, plenty of chairs and space. We loved our morning coffee looking at the birds..... ospreys, rosy spoonbills and the boats going out !! Beautiful white cat came to say hello everyday❤️The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals ! Lovely dishes, bowls, glassware ect we loved using ! Beds were all comfy too. Easy drive into town...... We will be back!

Great place to stay, be sure to rent carts with license plate, and bring solid coconut oil to rub on for the no seums. View is amazing, has a unique Tiki bar just down the street. Amazing sunset sets from their docks. House is perfectly located for tiki bar, grocery store and quick to get to dock street where everything is at. Just a great relaxing place to be!!

Absolute Tranquility

This property is exactly as advertised. The charm of this old Florida home was a welcome change from some of the other homes we have rented in previous years. But even though it is not a new home, it had absolutely everything we needed during our 2-week stay. My husband, who is the cook, especially appreciated the well-stocked pantry and the huge collection of pots and pans. The house was spotless when we arrived which I especially appreciate since I keep my own house clean. Our favorite spot in the whole house was the deck overlooking the bayou. We spent countless hours watching the wildlife and especially the pair of ospreys taking turns tending their eggs on the nest right offshore. Also, it was fascinating to watch them eat the fish they caught right on the dock to this property. We saw roseate spoonbills several times when they flew in to feed during low tide. It truly was a paradise for wildlife. Rosemary, thank you very much for making this trip so special for us.

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary Cooke

I’m a 3rd generation native to Cedar Key. My grandfather brought “pound net fishing” from Denmark to this small island in the 1800’s. He was very successful. My father was a commercial fisherman. He fished for many different types of fish during all the different seasons catching mullet, trout, pompano, he also turtle fished. My mother worked beside him on the boat. They blue crabbed, stone crabbed, net fished, scalloped, oystered, clammed. We owned and operated an Oyster house, and we also smoked mullet, our mother Madge made the first “smoked mullet” dip in Cedar Key that started a craze all over the state of Florida. After our father passed away, our mother started Johnson’s Restaurant where my sisters and I worked side by side for many many years. We worked hard but had a wonderful life on this beautiful island we call home.
