Description from owner
Description
Yes, we have an small island directly offshore that's a protected rookery, teeming with exotic birds year-round. Our Cedar Lake location is a hidden jewel of the Nature Coast, designated by the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. This sanctuary provides a nature show you'll remember forever. Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
Enjoy the sunrise AND the sunsets over beautiful Cedar Lake. The master bedroom bay window opens out onto the Florida room, lanai, and waterfront - allowing you to wake with the life of the lake. The sounds alone are mesmerizing. You will return year after year for the birds alone. Among the many species you will see are the Snowy Egret, Ibis, Cormorant, Morning Dove, Everglade Snail Kite, Wood Stork, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, and if you get lucky, the occasional otter has been known to visit. Take the kayaks out to the island... but please try not to disturb any of the area's many species.
Folks, this is a modest, two bedroom home - but we feel the location is hard to beat. Minutes from the gulf, you are at the private end of a cul de sac and on the point of Cedar Point Drive. Water views all around. Prime fishing off of our private dock (the "sweet spot" of Cedar Lake), or grab a rod and hop in one of our kayaks to explore one of the lake's many channels. Private, in-ground kidney shaped pool (with lanai) with a new solar heat system.
The HDTVs have 1000s of movies and channels via Roku streaming, but the REAL show is out on the lanai. Basic kitchen. Linens and towels provided. We can be pet-friendly by prearrangement. Secure, 1/4 acre fenced in lakefront yard - perfect for your well-behaved dog, with pet-doors installed to the lanai and Florida room. Pool and lawn service included. Premium 400 mbps high-speed internet included. Hop on one of the bikes or kayaks to explore, all included without additional charge, just return them clean & in repair.
While we are close to the famed gulf beaches and major theme parks, if you opt for our calmer setting we feel the Nature Coast has much to offer.
We have a bay window opening from the master bedroom to the Florida room, lanai, pool, and lake beyond. Guests can enjoy the sunrise and experience the lake come alive each morning from this foyer. It's a unique feature folks tell us they really appreciate.
We are pet friendly by prearrangement for most well-mannered furry friends.
New in 2022: we have added an inflatable hot tub. This can be set up and prepared for you at no additional charge. Please contact our staff to pre-arrange set-up & instructions.
New in 2022: we have installed a new solar pool heating system.
New in 2022: BLAZING fast 400 mbps wifi.
Oh, and did we mention the birds?
