Cozy Bungalow on the Gulf
About this house rental
Located in Cedar Key, this charming house for $198 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. This adorable waterfront 400sqft 1BR/1BA is perfect for a relaxing getaway to one of time's forgotten treasures- Cedar Key. Located right on the Gulf, you can enjoy a sunset on the dock while grilling out or sipping on your drink of choice. We also enjoy fishing, crabbing, bird watching and launching our kayaks off of the dock. Downtown is only half a mile away and easily accessible by bike or foot if you don't want to drive. The bedroom has a queen bed and there is a pullout bed in the living room so we can accommodate up to 4 people. With that said we do feel the house is best suited for 2 adults. As mentioned, the house is only 400 square feet. Perhaps the only place you might feel this is the bathroom so we recommend that you try to pack light in regards to toiletries! We supply shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a hair dryer. Interested in a fishing charter? When you book with us you will get 10% off CTB Charters! We do not have cable! We enjoy spending most of our time outdoors when we're in Cedar Key, but we do have a smart TV in the living room so if you have an account with Netflix, Hulu, or another app you can login to watch your favorite shows that way. Unfortunately the town does not permit golf carts on State Road 24. We are just outside of the limits of where rentable golf carts can be driven legally. We recommend renting bikes as it’s a quick 0.5 mi to downtown! 2 night stay requests M-F will be considered. We live about an hour away in Gainesville. We want you to have an amazing experience, so whatever we can do to make your experience better please do not hesitate to call! Check in: 3:00pm Check out: 10:00am Other things to note: We live next to a clam nursery. Did you know that Cedar Key is the clam capital of the USA harvesting the largest number of clams in the country? Part of the process in raising clams involves drawing water from the Gulf into the nursery and then cycling it out again to introduce local bacteria and nutrients to the clams when they are about 6 months old (the size of your pinky nail). The only way this might affect your stay is the sound of running water pouring back into the Gulf. It cannot be heard from the house, only when you are on the back deck. It does not bother us and we actually find it quite soothing however we do think we should mention it. Make sure to have some clams while in town! Who knows, they may have come from next door!

THE PROPERTY WAS ADORABLE. WISH THE TIDES WERE HIGHER FOR FISHING OFF THE DOCK. IMPOSSIBLE. LANDING A KAYAK WAS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE. VIEWS FROM THE DOCK WERE GORGEOUS. COULD REALLY USE A BAKING PAN AND PERHAPS A PLASTIC PITCHER FOR DRINKS. THE PROPERTY WAS VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE FOR 2 PEOPLE. LOVED THE STAY.

I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Cedar Key. We saw almost as many birds sitting on the covered dock as we did out kayaking. The cottage itself is plenty big for a couple and though I wondered about traffic noise it was minimal - especially sitting on the dock. The dock has shade all day until about 5:00 (early March) and then by 6 it’s time to watch it go down.

Relaxed on the dock with a bottle of wine, watching the Osprey interact and the Ibis feed. Both owner and housekeeper willing to do whatever was needed to keep us happy

Owner described property perfectly. It is cozy, but has everything you might want for 1 or 2 people. Deck is almost as big as the whole house and is a perfect place to relax and watch the sunset

The deck out back makes this place soo inviting. Beautiful views Unfortunately it was cool and windy so we didn’t get to kayak but it looks great for that. It is small but perfect for 2 people. Not fancy but comfortable . Close to town

We had a great trip. The house was great. Had everything we needed. The deck and dock are fantastic. Beautiful place to sit morning, day, and night. We watched birds, stars, meteor showers, jumping mullet, amazing sunsets, and the tides! Kayaks are a great bonus. Enjoyed kayaking daily. Even had a dolphin visit us while out exploring.
The house is also very close to town. We never had a hard time parking in town and if you had bikes, it would be an easy ride.
We hated to leave. A great place to unwind and relax.

The outdoor dock area is great! But we happened to be there during a cold snap so we didn’t get to use it as planned.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is tiny, but has everything you'd need. And the outside area is beautiful, on the water, and you have space to invite friends for a get together. Very cozy and comfortable.

Overall, we were pleased with the cottage. I might suggest a little improvement on the landscaping. A new set of steps going out the back door would be great.....a little landing and one step down would be perfect.
The interior was quite pleasant and well decorated. The bed was comfortable....lots of plusses!
The deck, pier and dock were AMAZING!!!!

We had our trip all planned... then I caught Covid. Then my dad died. Everything had to get postponed... and we were stressed to the max. The property owner was so helpful and understanding, and worked with us to help make our trip happen. The place is adorable and cozy, and we adored the little town. Every place we ate was excellent, but our favorite thing was getting the quite delicious grocery store pizza and sitting out on the back pier.

Loved the property, the outdoor area is the star and if you love being outside or kayaking this is a great spot. I would recommend this only to a couple and not for a group. As the listing says it is cozy! Would stay here again!

My husband and I enjoyed staying at the "Cozy Bungalow". It was super well equipped, had everything we could need. The Dock and the Tiki Deck were just a great place to relax, watch the fish jump, and see glorious sunsets. The bay is so calming and peaceful. For the more active there are nearby trails for hiking and lots and lots of places for fishing.The town of Cedar Key is very friendly, there are lots of shops and restaurants to choose from. We had a great stay.
