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.

    The place is fabulous. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the upper deck while watching a pod of dolphins EVERY morning.

    It was a nice place to stay. The drive way didn't look like a Drive way but we figured it out.

    Had a great trip in low-key Cedar Key. Location was great and fun to drive golf carts to restaurants. Condo was well equipped and lay out was great for us and our two teens. Loved sitting out on porches for peaceful reading and morning coffee! Condo isnt brand new but had all we needed for great vacation. My parents stayed in other condo on opposite side which was perfect.
