We have stayed at this home many times, it is in a great location. Very close to the dock and restaurants but also in a nice quiet area.

Outstanding stay

Our stay at the Osprey Nest was exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of space and quiet, but close to everything we wanted to do. House was clean and had everything we needed. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful when we had questions. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.

Wonderful holiday stay

We spent our holiday in Cedar Key. We fished, shopped, ate, and spent a lot of time with family and friends. This house served our group well, and we were all comfortable and happy. It’s also pet friendly:)

Lovely home so comfortable. There were six of us and plenty of space . The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Bathrooms also with shampoo conditioner and body wash. The sun porch is great to have coffee in the morning and catch a peek at the water. Thank you for a great time Osprey Nest

Quiet, comfortable, and accessible

An enjoyable 5-10 minute walk to town. Not a great view of the water from the house compared to many other houses you could rent, but the little back sunroom does offer a pleasant limited view of the water and has a nice dockside diner vibe... nice spot for coffee and breakfast. The house is spacious and has a great floorplan for 3 pairs of adults. Be aware that the wall dividing the master bedroom from the living room and kitchen area does not extend all the way up to the ceiling, so noise from the kitchen and living room is loud and clear in the master bedroom, and vice versa. Otherwise a great little property. All I wanted was a place that offered accessibility to town and was a comfortable place to stay between going out and about - this place exceeded my expectations.

Wish I could have stayed longer

After some confusion at check in, all went very well. The only problem I see with the property is that the master bathroom has almost no ventilation and the oscillating fan has to run at all times to make it somewhat comfortable in there.
