About this apartment rental

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.

Love this little fishing town. Food and drink are great. People are all very friendly. The place itself was great. Amazing view of the Gulf.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2022
The townhouse was mostly as described on the website. Some of the lights were burned out, clock was inop.. Staff at the management office aren't overly friendly and the maid came into the property to clean before we checked out so when we went back after breakfast, we couldn't use the bathroom. Screen on the master bedroom balcony was torn, impossible to sit out there at night due to the biting bugs. As one guest described, there's nowhere to set anything down due to knick knacks everywhere. My key didn't work but the 2nd key did. Overall we were happy, but little things made us think that we won't reserve this exact townhouse again. I did not get the impression that staff would care if I mentioned the faults. Not that we were going to use the supplied grill, but it was left dirty from a previous guest. With the faults, I don't feel like giving more than 3 stars. There are some nicer accommodations for just a little more money closer to town. This property is quiet though, and has a beautiful relaxing view. Bugs bite through the hole in the screens at Sunset. Ugh.
