Gulf front and Screened Porches Welcome to Serenity by the Sea, a charming nautical and pirate themed townhome vacation rental located on a high bluff overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in Cedar Key, Florida. Enjoy the refreshing gulf breeze from one of the two screened balconies, one off the living room and the other off the master bedroom. Our shared dock, exclusively available to the five units on the property, is perfect for fishing and soaking up the sun. Serenity by the Sea is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation rental that accommodates a maximum of six guests. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed while the guest bedroom has two twin beds. There is also a sofa bed in the living room for additional sleeping space. The bathrooms feature tub/shower combos, and we provide all linens, towels, and kitchen supplies. The living room is spacious and comfortable with sliding doors that open onto the screened balcony. We offer three TVs with Dish Network service, and the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals, including a dishwasher. The dining area has seating for four and a bar with stools. The townhome is located on three levels, with the master bedroom and bath on the ground floor. The guest bedroom and bath is up half a flight of stairs, at mid level, along with the washer and dryer, and the living room, kitchen, and dining area up another half flight of stairs on the top floor, for a total of two floors. Parking is limited at this location, and boat trailers are not encouraged due to the close quarters. Please keep in mind that Serenity by the Sea does not offer the use of the garage. The property is private and quiet, surrounded by well-maintained landscaping and hidden by palms and oaks. The high bluff, an ancient shell midden, has a seawall leading down to the Gulf and the mangrove protected beach. While it is shelly here and has little sandy areas to launch kayaks, the mangroves lining the shoreline are thick and stand directly in the saltwater tides. The entire island is yours to explore when you rent a golf cart from one of the shops here. Please be aware of automobile traffic and always pull over to allow cars to pass. Cedar Key is a working shellfish town, so please respect clammers, oystermen, and commercial fishing workers who share the streets with golf carters. We welcome families and children to our end-unit townhome, Serenity by the Sea at Whitman Point. Smoking and pets are not allowed. Make Serenity by the Sea your home base for discovering, exploring, and relaxing in Cedar Key. Whether you plan to fish from the dock, explore the waterways on kayaks, tour the island on bikes, or walk to the shops, restaurants, and other attractions, Serenity by the Sea is the perfect lodging choice. \-Please be respectful of the neighbors and the area you are staying \-Do not trespass on other people\`s property, this includes docks and driveways \-Please be careful where you park, don\`t block people in, use neighbors property, park on the sidewalk or impede traffic \-Parties and/or events are not allowed \-No smoking inside or within 10 feet of doors or windows $250 fine if the property smells of smoke \-Unauthorized pets will result in a $250 fine for each animal \-$150/person/day fee for over occupancy limit \-Please don’t eat or drink anything besides water in the bedroom \-Quiet hours 10 pm to 7 am per local Noise Ordinance \-Please respect the check-in and check-out times. $500 for each 4 hours, or portion unauthorized thereof, of early check-in and late checkout. \-Guests are responsible for any damage they cause.
