Welcome to Whispering Waves, a home like no other, in a place like no other. This newly constructed two-story stilt home offers expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding islands. Large windows capture beautiful sunrises and sunsets, while the 4 decks let you look out and enjoy the peaceful breeze. Decorated with precision, this home combines comfort and style for an idyllic island retreat. Come and make the memories that last a lifetime.
Interior
Whispering Waves offers a spacious, open layout with high ceilings and large windows throughout. On Level 2 the fully equipped kitchen, with seating for six at the counter, is perfect for gathering, while the dining area seats eight and offers sunset views. The living room includes a large sectional, a fireplace for cooler days, and a TV for movie nights. A queen bedroom suite on Level 2 is fully wheelchair accessible, featuring wide doorways, open walkways, and a roll-in shower. NOTE that the home does NOT have a lift or elevator for guest use.
On Level 1, the main suite features a king bed, sitting area, walk-in closet, and private en-suite. This bedroom opens to a large private deck with Gulf views—a perfect spot to relax in the breeze. Two additional bedrooms—each with a lower queen bed and 2 high twin XL beds with ladders—share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. A washer and dryer on this floor add convenience.
Exterior
Whispering Waves’ bright aqua exterior sets the tone for a relaxing island stay. The main deck offers a BBQ, seating area, and dining table, ideal for enjoying meals with a Gulf view. The three additional decks off the bedrooms allow for sun, shade and time to just sit back and relax in the breeze.
Neighborhood
Located in a quiet neighborhood less than a mile from downtown Cedar Key, Whispering Waves provides easy access to the island’s historic charm and relaxed pace. Cedar Key is perfect for exploring by foot, bike, or golf cart. The island offers art galleries, unique shops, and waterfront dining with fresh seafood. Guests can also enjoy bird-watching, fishing, and kayaking through scenic mangroves and coastal waters, while discovering Cedar Key’s rich history as a 19th-century port town.
McCormick Management has a Cedar Key office open 7 days a week to answer questions or help with any problems you may have while here. All of our homes are equipped with smart locks so you can check in and out as you please!
