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. There is also a murphy bed with a queen size mattress for extra sleeping room. We have wif-fi and two tvs. Yes we allow ONE small dog under 20 lbs for a $50 fee. We offer use of one kayak, paddles and associated PFDs. There is also a hose and a fish cleaning sink/table under the house. In a world of cookie cutter accommodations, the Cove Cottage is a unique experience from which memories are made. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 797 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90900000/90896000/90896000/4a50d110.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Shack: Central location, recent renovation Cedar Key - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=90896000&PinnedHotelID=90896000&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98540000/98536500/98536418/7a753154.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gulf front island stilt house Cedar Key - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=98536418&PinnedHotelID=98536418&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100810000/100805000/100804971/05b47147.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### \* Gulf view \* Sunsets \* King bed \* Stilt house \* Waterfront \* Cedar Key - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=100804971&PinnedHotelID=100804971&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100810000/100805000/100804974/c0f633ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### \* King bed \* Gulf view \* Sunsets \* Waterfront Cedar Key - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 48 reviews CA $186 CA $403 total includes taxes & fees Dec 19 - Dec 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-19&endDate=2025-12-20&selected=100804974&PinnedHotelID=100804974&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91250000/91249200/91249111/5e8d6a71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cedar Hill Depot: Historic charmer 3 blocks from the Gulf Cedar Key - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 60 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=91249111&PinnedHotelID=91249111&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90900000/90896000/90895905/2b40c279.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rains Cottage: Waterfront w/ dock and pet friendly!
