    Host was very attentive. House had everything we needed and was in a great location. The people of cedar key were so kind and very friendly. Captain Nick at island Tours was amazing.

    We had a great time at the Tyson house. My only negative was that it was not as clean as I thought it should have been. Overall, the experience was great. The neighborhood is quiet and we had a good time. I would definitely come back again.

    I recently spent 21 days in the amazing Tyson House. I arrived on my solo trip to Cedar Key not knowing quite what to expect. It was my first time in the area. I was in need of a quiet space to recharge and reflect. I enjoyed every single moment. The house is unique and charming in every way. It was clean, close to everything and I truly was able to make it a home away from home. The property manager was very helpful and the check in and out process was a piece of cake. I met some amazing locals, the sunsets were breathtaking and I left with what I was in search of. I will treasure the memories I made and I will definitely be back to Tyson House in the future.

    We enjoyed our stay at the Tyson House very much. The home is well furnished & beautifully decorated with many fabulous & location/period appropriate accessories. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of linens. The location is fantastic. The Cedar Key Historic Museum is just across the street. We rented a golf cart. Which was perfect because it was hotter than hades. The golf cart created a breeze & made parking & zipping around the island easy. Had breakfast at the 2nd Street Cafe one day, brunch at the Pickled Pear one day & Steamers for dinner. I’d recommend all three. We wanted to try 83/29, but it was raining the 2nd night & we were lazy & got takeout lol. My husband & I would definitely stay here again. I’ve already checked one weekend - it’s booked.

    This house is furnished beautifully. Furniture is comfortable. Kitchen is up to date and has everything you could possibly want. The beds are comfortable. TheTV worked great too. The location is within walking distance to everything…..restaurants, shops and the water….well maybe you would want to drive to the Tiki Bar but you definitely want to visit it! Thank you for a memorable trip in a comfortable house.

    We needed a short little get-a-way that would be relaxing and low key. This was the place. Had a wonderful time and the house was just lovely. It has so much character yet so comfortable at the same time. Would highly recommend the Tyson House.

    I felt sand on my bed, the middle bed. The sand was under the pillow.
