Waterfront holiday rentals in Levy County

We had a truly wonderful stay at the property! Both the property manager and property owner were incredibly kind and attentive—always quick to respond to any questions we had. The property itself is massive, peaceful, and just what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed using the kayaks and exploring the little beach the owner told us about—she gave us clear directions and made sure we felt at home. The location is great too, close to some of the most famous springs in Florida. What truly made this trip special was the unique experience with the animals. The owner rescued a sweet deer that visits in the early morning and at dusk—she warmed up to us quickly and was such a joy to be around. Precious and Ruby, her pets, were also very sweet and friendly, and we were able to feed the deer and spend time with the animals, which we loved. It was a perfect stay, and we’re already planning to come back!

Katie’s place was clean and had all the amenities described. We were only there for 1 night as we just on a day trip, but it is on our list of places to return when we find ourselves in the area again. We very much enjoyed our stay and you can enjoy watching the sunset right from the balcony of this place.

the place was amazing I haven't been back to Cedar key in 10 years and carols place made me feel right at home I will be staying again already looking at bookings

Great accommodations and great location. Room was super clean and had all you need. Nice balcony to sit and look over the beach area, and within walking distance to everything. Only recommendation is to provide clearer instructions to using the key pad if you have a late check in. Would definitely stay there again!

Katie was great to work with. The unit was perfect for our needs. Something we missed about the unit was it being 3 floors with stairs to climb between floors. If it was listed, we missed reading it. I have bad knees so it wasn't easy for me to climb upstairs to the kitchen on 3rd floor from the 1st floor master bedroom. Overall, the place was great. Easy walking around the area to downtown; restaurants

Our stay was absolute perfection! The property is even more beautiful than the photos, with unbeatable views and stylish, comfortable decor. Katie was a fantastic host, she is super responsive and full of great local recommendations. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back!

We had a great time. The place was clean and spacious, and the view was phenomenal. We would stay here again.

Katie is a great host. I have a crew doing hurricane rehab work here and she has helped me with 3 different properties to house my guys. Super friendly and eager to help with anything.

Kelley’s place was excellent. High quality furnishings and spotlessly clean. The place was awesome and worth the price paid which was reasonable for what we received. It felt like a combination of a five star hotel and home. Our host communicated very clearly both prior to and during our visit.

A beautiful space on the Rainbow River, you won’t regret staying here! The home is lovely and comfortable and the location can’t be beat if you enjoy nature and privacy. We didn’t use the guest house for our family of 4 but if we had a slightly larger group it would be a great option to spread out. This is a space for quiet time and relaxation, not to be loud or to party, which we appreciated. We arrived on Memorial day and the river was busy but the rest of the stay there was less boat traffic, just a few casual tubers and kayakers floating by. It has lots of floats and water gear and we brought our own canoe which can easily be launched from the yard. We made some fantastic family memories swimming, fishing and cooking off of the back deck and would love to come back next summer! Thanks!

Wonderful home in a great location, quiet and very well stocked with everything you will need. It was a perfect place to celebrate our mom.

Wayne and Laura were absolutely great hosts! Very detailed instructions on how to get there and get inside. The condo was beautiful, clean, and perfect for our needs! Super short ride to the gulf if you’re looking to fish. We will definitely be back!

This house exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved enjoying the wildlife in the yard, taking the kayaks out on the river, relaxing around the firepit and using the hot tub. We ended our evenings cozy on the couch watching movies on the projector. Megan's guidebook had some great suggestions of places to go in the area and she responded very quickly every time I contacted her. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at Chimera. We brought our own tubes and floated from their other property upriver and back to this property saving us $120. The float took about an hour and a half. Parking at their other location was well marked. The walk from this rental back to the other location to pick up our vehicle took about 40 minutes. The walk was through a neighborhood slightly uphill without side walks. It’s not a bad walk for adults or teenagers. Using the kayaks was great.The river water by the private dock directly on the river at Chimera has two sandy river bottom patches we stood in and swam around. The current river depth was about five feet by the dock. We saw Fred the bird, fish, small turtles, a young bobcat, and four otters swimming/feeding by the dock almost every day. We did not see any alligators during this stay but have along the river during previous trips which have avoided humans. Chimera is in a great river location. Hal and Sandy are friendly and take ownership pride

10 out of 10 would recommend! I have traveled all over the US and often utilize Airbnb and this is going down in the books as one of my favorite homes! The house itself is like a time capsule. Lots of antique furniture and nostalgic pieces of the past. But also super clean, comfortable and up-to-date. The amenities are also amazing! Everything was clean, well organized, and ready to use. The main river is about a 15 minute paddle, but it’s gorgeous. My kids said this might be one of their favorite vacations we’ve ever taken! The Neighbor kids even came over and joined us for a game of basketball. All of the neighbors seemed super friendly. The house is also well stocked with things like pans, dishes, silverware, extra blankets, pillows, etc. And sitting on the deck for morning, coffee and to relax in the evening is amazing. Communication with the host was easy and painless. We will most definitely be staying again!

We booked this house with a group of 12 friends, half of whom are couples, to visit some of our favorite natural springs. This home was perfect for our group, very quaint and cozy we felt right at home. We used all of the bedrooms and everyone had plenty of space & privacy. The bathrooms had plenty of towels. Having multiple kitchens & a grill loaded with all of the cooking & serving necessities we could need was a huge plus! We loved all of the different options for common spaces to hang out in, especially the back sunroom, downstairs game room, and floating dock. The home is on such a peaceful part of the river and we saw so many unique birds and enjoyed watching the family of wild bunnies hop around the yard. While this home was further away from the springs & towns we were there to visit (Ginnie, Ichnetucknee, and Devils Den), it had so much to offer itself that we didn’t mind the longer drive. We’d consider staying here again for sure!!!

We've been coking to Cedar Key a few times a year for the past 14 years. This was the first time we stayed on that side of the Island. The condo was wonderful, looking forward to booking it again.

I recently stayed at Pelican Vacation Home in Cedar Key, and it was an incredible experience! The stunning views of the Gulf and the peaceful surroundings made it the perfect escape. The home was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The large deck quickly became our favorite spot for watching the sunrise and sunset, all while enjoying the ocean breeze. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the comfortable bedrooms ensured a restful stay. The location was ideal—just a short walk to Cedar Key’s quaint shops, restaurants, and the beach, yet still offering plenty of peace and quiet. We also enjoyed kayaking and exploring the local wildlife. The owners were wonderful—responsive and helpful from start to finish, making our stay seamless. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with all the comforts of home and stunning views, I highly recommend Pelican Vacation Home. We can't wait to visit again!

This is not the place to stay if you’re looking for an over commercialized, overbuilt, loud party town. However, if like us, you are in need of a quiet getaway this is the perfect place! We spent an entire day on the private beach watching the dolphins play. Then went and rented kayaks another day to go out and play with them. There are DOZENS of them off the patio. The town is quaint and welcoming and Katie made many recommendations about where we should go to visit and eat. We felt right at home and can’t wait to return.

Had a great time at the condo. We felt right at home and enjoyed meeting new friends during the unofficial "happy hour". There is no shortage of things to do in the area and this was a great place to stay while visiting our daughter. We will stay here again. The only disappointing thing was that the pool temperature was very cold, but this was not any fault of the hosts themselves, the weather was unusually cold for FL during our stay. We still were able to use the pool during our stay.

We really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was clean and decorated nicely. the kitchen had everything we needed and it had a little balcony with beautiful views. We saw many dolphins while we were there which was a nice treat. The bed was comfortable and it was very peaceful and relaxing. We definitely will be returning to stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay very convenient location.

The house was very clean and plenty of room for family. Town was nice , even though they’re trying to rebuild after the last storm that hit them.

Kayley was flexible and able to change our dates on short noticed. My husband spent 3 days fishing with friends, caught red fish and sea trout. He loved how peaceful the area was.
