Relax and enjoy this great 2 bedroom, 1 bath waterfront cottage with a beautiful new dock in historic Cedar Key, Florida. Enjoy sitting on the dock drinking coffee and watching all the birds and fish jumping. Bring your rod and reels and fish or crab off the dock. Watch the red and black drum tailing:) The house has a large shaded yard and porch that looks out over the Eastern Bayou as well.
The Bonaire Cottage has the original hardwood floors and native unpainted knotty pine walls that add warmth to this unique original Florida home. The Master bedroom has a Queen bed and the second bedroom has 2 twin beds. Some of the original owner's dishes, decoration, and artwork are still displayed, adding much charm to this 'Florida Cracker House'


Watch the abundant wildlife and beautiful to spectacular sunrises from the back porch or dock. There are white egrets that perch in the yard and occasionally on the porch. Enjoy a cup of coffee or have your breakfast on the back porch which has a great swing and outdoor seating that overlooks the Gulf's eastern bayou. On low tide see the Pink Spoon Bill's snooping around for minnows that were left behind. Sometimes we have porpoises join us and put on a show rounding up mullet. That usually visit us in the late spring and summer. Not always, but sometimes several days in a row. Lots and lots of birds during the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

Grill your catch of the day and have a picnic or maybe just have an old fashion wiener roast in the large shaded backyard. Maybe have a game of Horseshoes! In the fall, enjoy an outdoor fire or oyster roast. Access to the deeper water channel #2 is approximately 250 feet away but it has gotten shallow over the last several years so we recommend launching your boat at the outside boat ramp. (Gulf of Mexico) That way you are not tied to the tides. No need to get in your car...boat rentals and fishing supplies are available across the street at the Cedar Key Marina. They are also available at D & W Bait shop...around 300 feet from the cottage.

The high school's tennis courts are open to the public. A basketball court is located at the beach downtown, just go join in a pickup game or you may just have the court to yourself!

If you are looking for a fancy, high-end house, this isn't the place for you. But if you are looking for a relaxing, fun, interesting, old fashion vacation with your family or friends then Cedar Key and the Bonaire Cottage would be a perfect fit!

The Bonaire Cottage will make your vacation stay in Cedar Key charming in every way.

    Cozy cabin, walking distance to everything the area has to offer. The covered porch overlooking the backyard was our favorite offering us water views and the many birds who made the waterfront home. We were fortunate enough to be there when the osprey were nest building. The host was very friendly and always available to assist.

    The cottage is just the right amount of space for us and is fixed up super cute. Though located on the main highway as you’re going into town, we enjoy the backyard view.

The bathroom was clean and had enough towels. Great shower. Bed was comfortable. Easy check in. The water views from the back porch are beautiful. We spent the afternoons out there enjoying the view. Already looking to see when we can come back!

    Calm and relaxing stay. Nice and new private dock was great for fishing, relaxing and bird watching. Very quiet town so we were able to stay in and catch up.

    The house is in a great location to access Cedar Key. The back windows and deck offer great views of a mangrove backwater. The house met all of our needs. We recommend it highly.

    This little cracker house is the almost perfect place to get away from the world for a bit. It is like going to Grandma’s house for a visit. Everything is clean, well-stocked, and full of little details. The only drawback is it is on a main road, only a minor negative.

    The cottage was equipped with every thing you could possible need. Beds have very comfortable mattress. If you like rustic old Florida flair this place is it. The dock is an added plus . Thanks for the memories.
