The Bonaire Cottage~ Private Dock!!! ~ Rustic Fun Waterfront Cottage!!!

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.

Great Location and View

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.

Almost Heaven

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.

Old Florida Charm

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.

Great week!

Bonaire Cottage was perfect for us. Low key, comfortable, close enough to the business district but away from the busy-ness. Lots of birds/fish to watch from the deck and dock. While the week started chilly (certainly not our host's fault!), things warmed up nicely by the end of the week. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Another wonderful weekend at the Bonaire house!

We had a great stay at our favorite little waterfront cottage. The weather was perfect and we spent most of our time on the back porch enjoying the birds and the tide. Can’t wait to come back!

We are from the mid west so we really enjoyed sitting around the fire pit, watching the beautiful sunrise and birds. We were able to find everything we needed. The walk to the restaurants and shops was great!
