What a welcoming feeling walking into The Cranes Nest; after the climb upstairs all we wanted to do was sit on the balcony and marvel at the views- SO worth it! The location is perfect- we walked everywhere. Something to consider is that the closest “real” grocery store is about a 20 minute drive; plan ahead! I think my favorite part of the stay was all the different birds we spotted from the balcony- thanks for the binoculars; I didn’t have to fight with my husband over the pair we brought!

Great host and clean condo. We were staying here while enjoying the great fishing that Cedar Key has to offer. The condo had everything we needed and more. The views from the back porch were great; to sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet of this island was very relaxing after being on the water all day. Recommend renting a golf cart and unplugging while on island time.
