About this house rental

Situated in Cedar Key, this charming house for $185 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. This romantic little cottage is one of the last of its kind. Built on stilts on the edge of the sea wall, the tide literally comes up underneath the cottage. At high tide you can hear the lapping of the gentle waves against the pilings. Access to the house is easy. The driveway leads right up to the cottage with parking for one vehicle underneath. The view from Cove Cottage is what makes it the treasure that it is. From anywhere in the cottage with its many windows one can see the Sea. To the right is the beach maintained by the City. Also here is the city park. Then across the water is the nearby Dock Street with its many restaurants and shops and the boat ramps. Then there is the open Gulf of Mexico with Atsena Otie island not far from shore. Guests at Cove Cottage have commented that staying in the Cottage is like staying on a houseboat. At high tide you've water on three sides of the house. The front deck faces the Gulf and has comfortable seating for four and is a favorite place for watching the fishing boats, clammers boats, kayakers and tour boats coming and going throughout the day. Well equipped and move in ready. Cove has a full kitchen, full bath with shower, private bedroom with a queen size bed. Spacious living room with comfortable seating and a waterfront dining area.

The view from the house is amazing. You can watch dolphins everyday from living room. It is walking distance to Dock Street, beach, and playground. Bed was comfy (never used the Murphy bed), kitchen was well stocked, and the shower was hot. The town doesn't have a grocery store open yet (Dec 5,2023) so bring supplies. Plenty of restraunts near by also. Will stay here again!

Loved the privacy of this property. Love the easy check in Property was in good shape with great view of ocean when the tide is in. Pretty beach decorations in house The one thing that needs attention is the wood deck needs some repair. It has some soft wood with possibility of an accent

Excellent 270 degree views in a very central yet quiet location. Comfortable bed. Good value for the $$ for a standalone home. A little tricky to find for the first time but property manager is easy to reach and very supportive, so don’t hesitate to give them a call if you have any issues.

Great views from cottage. We watched the dolphins from the deck or from big front windows while sitting on the couch every day. Also had a view of the beach, Dock street where the restaurants are and sunrise from our deck or bedroom window. Very comfy. Very private because it is free standing. Can walk easily to Dock Street. The complementary kayaks were a highlight of our trip because we went out every day and paddled up to the dolphins. Easy keyless check in. The cottage had everything we needed. It was clean and cute. We will definitely book this place when we come back. Best birthday weekend!
