Downtown Apartment Half Block to Sunsets on Water

Budget friendly apartment located in the heart of downtown Cedar Key, just half a block from the open Gulf of Mexico. This area features some of the best sunsets on the island! Perfect accommodations for one or two, this property offers a spacious bedroom, full bathroom with separate tub and shower, efficient but well stocked kitchen, and a balcony you'll never want to leave. Enjoy Gulf breezes and a view of the water to the west, all from your private covered deck. Walk to downtown just four blocks away for restaurants, shopping, museums and more. Bicycle friendly area so feel free to bring your own. Parking is on the quiet street only, no parking in the driveway. This property does require stairs and the owner lives full time in the downstairs portion of the house. Interior staircase is locked on both sides for security and not used by either side. Private washer and dryer on balcony for guest use. No pets please, due to owner allergies. Scent and allergy sensitive guests will appreciate the use of unscented laundry detergent and other soaps, as well as safe cleaning products. No room deodorizers here, just the natural sea air to bring you closer to nature! Owner prefers mature couples for this property, 55 and up please. This is a converted attic space and the bathroom shower does have a lower sloped ceiling, guests taller than 6'1" may have difficulty. Come enjoy Babe's Cottage, a simple place for a relaxing getaway, the way Cedar Key was meant to be!

Relaxing

Our stay was very relaxing. The location is walking distance from the water and downtown. The balcony is very calming to just sit and listen to the ocean and birds. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
