    We loved this beautiful home. Gorgeous windows, bringing the most amazing sunsets daily. The Christmas tree was a nice touch. I suggest this gorgeous escape to anyone visiting Cedar Key.

    This home is a wonderful place to stay while in Cedar Key! Nice furnishings! It is comfortable, clean, and well stocked. The view is stunning any time of day. The property managers are very nice, communicative and so helpful. Cedar Key is a small town with a lot of character and warmth. The locals are friendly and are happy to see you. I admire the spirit and resolve of this community. They are rebuilding after the hurricanes. They love their town and it shows. It's a special place and definitely worth visiting.

    Short mini vacation before school to Cedar Key and the place didn’t disappoint. Looking forward to coming back again.

    Beautiful views and nice clean property:) If planning on taking out the kayaks provided make sure to make note of the tide schedule. We didnt amd ended up coming back during low tide. It was a muddy mess and would not recommend that experience lol. The kayaks are super nice though. The ride around the islands was peaceful and beautiful. We saw the pink spoonbill birds and opsreys

    We had a great Father’s Day weekend! We fished off the dock and caught catfish and trout. The house is comfy and updated. The area is nice and quiet. Each room has its own tv with a Roku and remote to work the lights and fans and most importantly they all worked! (That never happens in a rental!) Loved having the extra room and bathroom in the cottage. Everything was nice, clean, and accessible. Looking forward to the next visit.

    Despite the area being hit hard from Hurricane Helene in September 2024, Cedar Key is rebuilding and there are lots of things to explore in the area. Sunset Helen’s setting provides low tide water bird watching opportunities through the large floor to ceiling windows. The restaurants we tried in town were excellent. This home was very clean and neat and very well stocked! We were quite impressed. The only challenge we had was not having the separate code for the laundry room in the cottage and had to wait for a response before being able to access the washer/dryer. Perhaps add that code to the book in the main house?

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Helen's. The property was just as listed. It was very clean! We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the amazing Sunset views. Communication was excellent throughout our stay. We will definitely consider this property again if we are back in Cedar Key.
