Serenity by the Sea at Whitman Point. Gulf front and Screened Porches

Cedar Key, Florida, United States

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.brbrSerenity 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.brbrThe 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.brbrParking 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.brbrThe 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.brbrWe welcome families and children to our end-unit townhome, Serenity by the Sea at Whitman Point.

Cedar Key, Florida, United States

Gulf Views-Boat Parking-King Beds-Fire PitbrbrPelican Place sits directly on the Gulf of Mexico in Cedar Key, Florida—an island village located about three miles from the mainland.

Perhaps it’s the mangroves, the shifting tides, and the unmistakable coastal air. Whatever the reason, the feeling is real—and it’s absolutely worth the journey to the end of the road where Cedar Key meets the sea.brbrFor adventure on the water, rent kayaks and paddle across the bay for a memorable experience, but be sure to pay attention to the Cedar Key tides—head out on an incoming tide and return before it turns.brbrA small private pier sits directly in front of the home, offering a wonderful spot for fishing or simply enjoying the view.brbrPelican Place is fully furnished, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped to ensure a comfortable stay.
