Rains Cottage: Waterfront w/ dock and pet friendly!
Waterfront ~ Dock ~ King bed ~ Newly remodeled
Perched over the Gulf waters in Cedar Key, Rain Cottage is a fully remodeled mid-century fisherman’s retreat blending modern comforts with creative inspiration. Once home to the Rains family, this one-bedroom cottage is as close to the water as you can get. Whether you’re here to relax, fish, birdwatch, or explore the town’s vibrant arts scene, this cottage will be therapy for your mind and soul while nurturing your creative spirit.
INTERIOR FEATURES
~ Bedroom: King bed, reading lights, large closet, full-length mirror, dresser, and washer/dryer
~ Living Room: Large corner couch that folds out into an oversized queen bed, 55” TV, books, and French doors opening to the deck with water views
~ Kitchen: Fully stocked with spices, full-size fridge/freezer, electric stove, and all essentials for cooking
~ Bathroom: Single sink, large vanity, tub/shower combo with a handheld showerhead
EXTERIOR FEATURES
~ Expansive back deck: Shade cover, dining table for four, electric BBQ, fan, and camp chairs
~ Private dock: Perfect for fishing, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze
French doors in both the bedroom and living room open to the gentle salt breezes of the Gulf
A Historic Cottage with Waterfront Views
This cottage has inspired artists, writers, and nature lovers with its glorious sunlight, ever-changing Gulf views, and peaceful atmosphere. From the private dock, cast a fishing line, watch coastal birds drift by, or simply sip coffee while enjoying the breeze. The French doors in both the living room and bedroom invite the fresh salt air inside, creating a tranquil retreat unlike any other.
Explore Cedar Key – A Timeless Island Escape
Located just across from Annie’s Café, Rain Cottage is a short walk to art galleries, artist studios, and waterfront dining. Cedar Key is a charming Old Florida fishing village, free of fast food chains, traffic lights, or commercial sprawl. Instead, you’ll find oyster-lined channels, lush salt marshes, and a welcoming artistic community. Whether you spend your days kayaking, boating, or simply enjoying the laid-back island atmosphere, you’ll quickly fall in love with the peaceful beauty of Cedar Key.
This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to slow down, recharge, and embrace the rhythm of the Gulf. You won’t want to leave!
